In recent times, the imminent lack of public IPv4 addresses has attracted the attention of both the research community and the industry. The problem becomes even more pressing with the introduction of third generation (3G) cellular networks which are predicted to introduce hundred of millions of new IP capable terminals over the next few years. The cellular industry has decided to combat this prob

Increasing soft error rates for semiconductor devices manufactured in later technologies enforces the use of fault tolerant techniques such as Roll-back Recovery with Checkpointing (RRC). However, RRC introduces time overhead that increases the completion (execution) time. For non-real-time systems, research have focused on optimizing RRC and shown that it is possible to find the optimal number of

Background: Postoperative pain is still often being inadequately assessed and/or recorded in infants and young children despite evidence-based guidelines. Objectives: This prospective, observational study in a paediatric postoperative ward at a Swedish university hospital was designed to evaluate interventional effects on pain management by briefly reminding nursing staff of corresponding local gu

User interfaces to control machines are a critical part of any technology that requires user inputs. The user interface works as a link between human and machine, and it is vital that this link is understandable for both parts. Therefore, the design of the interface is of great importance in order to fully utilize the capabilities the technology provides. Assa Abloy is a company that offers soluti

An ensemble Green's function theory for many-electron systems with degenerate ground states, based on the von Neumann density matrix formalism, is proposed. The formalism is constructed without an assumption of an adiabatic connection. An ensemble analogue of Hedin's equations and the GW Approximation (GWA) is constructed. The formalism is applied to four model systems within GWA: a three-

Water availability faces increasing pressure due to economic growth, population growth,greater affluence as well as climate change. For companies, this could lead to higher businessrisks as water is often a key ingredient in their operations for example in cooling, steamgeneration and cleaning. Moreover, companies might be competing over water with otherstakeholders in the region when water scarci

This Thesis is aimed at clarifying the meaning of article 44 RVD in order to determine which legal issues arise at its implementation, both at European and at Italian level. Art 44 RVD, as the main rule for B2B intra-Community supply of services, has a fundamental impact on the assessment of VAT liability among business operators in order to define on whom, where and when the liability arises. Unc

Advanced features of modern mobile devices have made it possible to develop and use maps and map based applications for navigation purposes. Since most mobile map applications nowadays are developed for motor vehicles, there is a demand for portable pedestrian navigation applications. In this thesis the Android mobile map application with standard navigation tools for pedestrian navigation was dev
