In this paper we present a new method for high-level synthesis that enhances design flexibility, specialization and performance primarily conceived for programmable hardware. New programmable hardware devices often provide fast dedicated components that perform complex computations. Arbitrary complex computations can be efficiently extracted from the CDFG using our new graph matching constraint to
Metrical versions of the Passion form a significant part of the substantial body of devotional literature written in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries. The aim underlying them was twofold: to meet the demand for works which could be used for purposes of educadon, edification, and private worship but also to show that the vanacul-ars could be used to produce distinguished works written in a
Water vapor sorption isotherms are essential data in models to predict the service life of the cement based structures. The knowledge about sorption isotherms in the presence of supplementary cementitous materials (SCMs) is limited. This study investigates the influence of water to cement ratio (0.4, 0.5 and 0.6), and the presence of two SCMs (70% slag and 10% silica fume) on sorption isotherm in
Knowing the droplets temperature is of great importance in spray-assisted combustion devices as it directly affects the droplet evaporation rate. This information helps optimizing the fuel/air mixture formation for the improvement of combustion devices. To measure the temperature of spray droplets, optical techniques such as Rainbow-Refractrometry (for point-wise) and the two-color LIF ratio therm
Virtual Reality (VR) as a complementary tool for medical practitioners in the assessment and rehabilitation of people who have suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) is discussed. A pilot-study has been undertaken on a prototype VR assessment tool. The design involved nine occupational therapists with expertise in the care of traumatic brain injured patients and one (computer experienced) patient
In this paper we discuss parallelization and distribution of problems modeled in a constraint programming (CP) framework. We focus on parallelization of depth-first search methods, since search is the most time-consuming task in CP. The current hardware development is moving towards multi-core processors and the cost of building distributed systems is shrinking. Hence, parallelization and distribu
This paper describes a system to create animated 3D scenes of car accidents from reports written in Swedish. The system has been developed using news reports of varying size and complexity. The text-to-scene conversion process consists of two stages. An information extraction module creates a structured representation of the accident and a visual simulator generates and animates the scene. We firs
Although bone marrow (BM) represents the main site for postnatal NK cell development, recently a distinct thymic-dependent NK cell pathway was identified. These studies were designed to investigate the role of cytokines in regulation of thymic NK cells and to compare with established regulatory pathways of BM-dependent NK cell compartment. The common cytokine receptor gamma-chain (Il2rg) essential
This laboratory demonstrator setup is a downscaled version of a 7.5-maperture telescope with dual-conjugate adaptive optics, a representativestatic atmosphere in the K-band and five natural guide stars in a cross.The demonstrator has been used to evaluate different modes of adaptiveoptics; conventional single-conjugate adaptive optics, field-averagedsingle-conjugate adaptive optics and dual-conjug
