The Functional Mockup Interface (FMI) is a tool independent standard for the exchange of dynamic models and for co simulation. The first version, FMI 1.0, was published in 2010. Already more than 30 tools support FMI 1.0. In this paper an overview about the recently published version 2.0 of FMI is given that combines the formerly separated interfaces for Model Exchange and Co-Simulation in one sta

A new concept of treating abdominal aortic aneurysms was studied during a three-year period. Instead of open repair, graft insertion was accomplished endovascularly from the groins. The graft was attached by expandable stents to the non-dilated infrarenal aorta, i.e. the aneurysmal neck, and to the iliac artery/ies. Pre- and postoperative work-up included CT-scanning, angiography and ultrasonograp

In this paper we describe a systematic study on long-term evolution of residential broadband Internet traffic covering 5 calendar years from June 2007 to May 2011. The traffic evolution is characterized both in the term of the total traffic volume, as well as the traffic volumes and shares for different application categories (file sharing, video streaming etc.), with the focus on comparing the tr

Internationellt sett har de fackliga organisationerna i Sverige på flera sätt mycket goda förutsättningar att verka för hållbara arbetsplatser. Hit hör den höga organisationsgraden, den välutbyggda fackliga arbetsplatsorganisationen, en relativ frånvaro av facklig rivalitet samt den långa traditionen av samarbete mellan arbetsmarknadens parter. Sedan 1990-talet förefaller facken på många arbetspla

Abstract in UndeterminedContrary to the notion that altering our ordinary state of consciousness necessarily produces delusional beliefs and is generally deleterious, various findings in psychology and other disciplines suggest that 1) the ordinary state of consciousness does not provide an accurate mapping of reality and 2) alterations of consciousness can have various positive functions. Among t

We propose a novel approach to estimation, where each individual observation in a random sample is used to derive an estimator of an unknown parameter using the maximum likelihood principle. These individual estimators are then combined as a weighted average to produce the final estimator. The weights are chosen to be proportional to the likelihood function evaluated at the estimators based on eac

I en kärnfull artikel i Läkartidningen ger professor Håkan Olsson (”HO”) sin syn på de problem patentering inom bioteknikområdet ger upphov till. Artikeln aktualiseras av att ett amerikanskt företag erhållit patentskydd, som begränsar cancerforskningen och hämmar sjukvården. Inlägget präglas av en forskares oro inför de problem som en teknisk lagstiftning skapar. Enligt HO kräver patentinnehavaren

Popular Abstract in Swedish Lipasadsorption till fasta ytor studerades med hjälp av in situ ellipsometri. Samtidigt mättes aktiviteten av det adsorberade lipaset in situ genom hydrolys av p-nitrofenylacetat. Adsorption mättes till metylerade kiseloxidytor med varierande grad av metylering samt till rent kiseloxid. Olika lipaser studerades; lipas från Humicola lanuginosa (HLL)­vildtypen (WT) och enThe adsorption of lipases to solid surfaces was studied by means of in situ ellipsometry. In addition, the activities of the adsorbed lipases were measured in situ, by the hydrolysis of p-nitro phenyl acetate. Adsorption was made to methylated silica surfaces with varying degree of wettability as well as to clean silica surfaces. Lipases from Humicola lanuginosa (HLL) ­ the wild-type (WT) and a m

On the trend that Swedish feature films are increasingly shot outside of Stockholm.

The authors examine the complex relationship between human behavior and social and economic environment, analyzing age, gender, family, kinship, social class and social organization, climate, food prices, and real wages to compare mortality responses to adversity. Their research at the individual, household, and community levels challenges the previously accepted characterizations of social and ec

During the last few decades interdependencies between univrsities and the surrounding society have multiplied, making universities increasingly dependent on their environments. The number of of demands on and requirements of univesities from various sectors in society hav enot only grown in number but are also changing more quickly. This development affects universities which need increased flexib
