Public service organizations rely on IT systems to fulfill their missions. IT incidents are more and more frequent and the impacts of IT incidents on the organizations are getting more severe. There is a strong need to manage risks on service related IT systems in public service organizations. Risk management process practiced in software development companies cannot be used in public service orga
A common assumption in motion blur rendering is that the triangle vertices move in straight lines. In this paper, we focus on scenarios where this assumption is no longer valid, such as motion due to fast rotation and other non-linear characteristics. To that end, we present a higher-order representation of vertex motion based on Bézier curves, which allows for more complex motion paths, and we de
Complex problem spaces, such as those addressed by knowledge management or systems analysis projects, call for complex methods of inquiry. A phenomenon in contextual analysis means that there is a need to go beyond consensus and recognized ‘best practice’. As part of a complex method, for contextual analysis, inter-analysis may be conducted, in which individuals explore one another’s perspectives
Surfactant self-assembly is an important phenomenon that occurs in a number of processes in our everyday life. It is important to understand the forces and parameters that control and influence the self-assembly, as this knowledge can be used both in order to design surfactant systems with desired properties and for creating model systems, for example for biological processes. The papers of this t
The article analyses the role of the historical dimension in official Swedish debate, with a focus on the Swedish government's Living History information project on the Holocaust
Strain has frequently been suggested to play an important role in the function of several proteins. In this paper, we review various definition of strain and discuss how it may be quantified. We show that covalent strain (i.e. strain caused by covalent interactions) plays a minor role for the function of all proteins we have studied, e.g. blue copper proteins, desulforedoxin, CuA in cytochrome c o
BCJR based source coding of image residuals is investigated. From a trellis representation of the residual, a joint source-channel coding system is formed. Then the BCJR algorithm is applied to find the MAP encoding. MAP and minimized squared error encoding are compared. The novelty of this work is the use of the BCJR algorithm and the MAP criterion in the source coding procedure. The source encod
Äter folk fortfarande lutfisk? Varför smyckar så många sina trädgårdar och balkonger med ett överdåd av elekriskt ljus? Vem vill ha nakna tomtar och röda underkläder? Ett fyrtiotal forskare, verksamma vid arkiv, museer och universitetsinstitutioner med etnologisk och kulturvetenskaplig inriktning, ger här inblickar i vår tids jul i Sverige. Utgångspunkten är ett dokumentationsprojekt kring den nut
This paper presents the preliminary evaluation of different powered-wheelchair control modes for individuals with severe motor impediments. To this end, a C400 Permobil wheelchair has been updated with a control command communication interface and equipped with a scanning laser sensor to carry out the automation algorithms that are part of the robot operating system framework. A pilot test was per
Abstract in UndeterminedIn recent years, there has been a marked proliferation in the literature on economic approaches to ecosystem management, which has created a subsequent need for real understanding of the scope and the limits of the economic approaches to ecosystems and biodiversity. Within this Handbook, carefully commissioned original contributions from acknowledged experts in the field ad
This thesis describes growth, processing, characterization and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy of nanowire heterostructures. The nanowires were made of III-V semiconductor materials and were produced by Au-particle assisted growth. Axial heterostructures in the form of quantum dots (QDs) in the nanowires as well as radial heterostructures in the form of core-shell nanowires were studied. Axial
