Conventional surveillance systems are omnipresent and most are still based on analog techniques. Migrating to the digital domain grants access to the world of digital image processing enabling automation of such systems, which means extracting information from the image stream without human interaction. The resolution, frame rates, and functionality in these systems are continuously increasing alo

Program parallelization and distribution becomes increasingly important when new multi-core architectures and cheaper cluster technology provide ways to improve performance. Using declarative languages, such as constraint programming, can make the transition to parallelism easier for the programmer. In this paper, we address parallel and distributed search in constraint programming (CP) by proposi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Surfplattor och mobiltelefoner med prestanda i klass med den hos stationära datorer för bara några år sedan är resultatet av den kontinuerliga hårdsatsning som i över 50 års tid stadigt lyckats göra den minsta elektronikkomponenten, transistorn, mindre, snabbare och mer strömsnål. Under senare år har det dock blivit svårare att förbättra prestandan enbart genom att minsThe background of this thesis is related to the steadily increasing demand of higher bandwidth and lower power consumption for transmitting data. The work aims at demonstrating how new types of structures, at the nanoscale, combined with what is referred to as exotic materials, can help benefit in electronics by lowering the consumed power, possibly by an order of magnitude, compared to the indust

An amphiphilic ruthenium-based molecule (DOPURu) with potential antineoplastic activity has been synthesized, and its aggregation behavior in the presence of phospholipids has been investigated. A very rich variety of aggregates has been found, spanning from vesicles to cubic bicontinuous phases. Cubosomes here presented represent one of the first systems with potential use for medical therapy.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the firm value effect of the relative voting power between the minority blockholders and the largest shareholder in firms, and the excess voting rights relative to capital rights for minority blockholders. The Holdings database was used to collect detailed ownership data on a sample of 266 listed Swedish firms corresponding to 1 781 firm-year while finan

Short-term tourists visiting formerly residential areas are a potential source of conflict as the short-term tourists change the place they are visiting and represent an inconvenience to residents. This research uses a mixed methods approach with the short-term rent gap framework introduced by Wachsmuth and Weisler (2018) as the quantitative and an additional online expert interview as the qualita

In this study a coarse-grained model of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) is evaluated to determine whether the model is suitable to use for analyzing the structure and dynamics of IDPs. IDPs are proteins that lack a stable tertiary structure which gives them a flexible structure. The aim with this study is to find a model that is appropriate to use for analyzing dynamics events of IDPs. To

Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common cancers in men and is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the USA. In the United States, it is the second most frequently diagnosed cancer after skin cancer, and in Europe it is number one. According to the American Cancer Society, approximately 221,000 men in the United States would be diagnosed with PCa during 2015, and approximate

Habitat selection is an important process that affects the distribution and abundance of organisms, and habitat selection theory is one of the flagships of theoretical ecology. Because of the importance of habitat selection in natural ecosystems and the successful history of the theoretical concepts, it has been Suggested that habitat selection theory can inform decision-making in population monit

This thesis presents results from two areas of research. Firstly, the resonant coherent laser techniques polarization spectroscopy (PS), degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) and stimulated emission (SE) have been developed in the general field of combustion diagnostics. Secondly, laser induced fluorescence (LIF) has been developed and applied for the visualization of mixture fractions in turbulent n

This report is the result of a thesis in mechanical engineering focused on product development. The project was performed at MarineDiesel, a company producing diesel engines for marine applications in Ängelholm, Sweden. A need of a sterndrive strong enough for large diesel engines is present on the market. This thesis involves hydraulic systems and mechanical geometry for trimming and steering of

Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance (NQR) is a method of de- tection and unique characterization of compounds containing quadrupolar nuclei, commonly found in many forms of ex- plosives, narcotics, and medicines. Typically, multi-pulse sequences are used to acquire the NQR signal, allowing the resulting signal to be well modeled as a sum of exponentially damped sinusoidal echoes. In this paper, we improv

Image monitors and viewing boxes have a crucial role in the diagnostic process. Modern radiology uses different modalities to produce digital images which are to be viewed in different parts of the radiology department and throughout the hospital, sometimes simultaneously, via the Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS). Therefore, the quality of the image monitors is of great importanc

Denna uppsats behandlar tre olika värderingsfrågor vad gäller aktier som är föremål för tvångsinlösen. Tvångsinlösen får påkallas då en aktieägare äger mer än nio tiondelar av andelarna i ett bolag. Rätten att påkalla tvångsinlösen gäller för såväl majoritetsaktieägaren som var och en av minoritetsaktieägarna. En värdering av aktierna måste, i de fall parterna inte kan komma överens om värdet, förThe thesis examines three questions with regards to how the share value is determined in companies which are subject to buy-out. When a shareholder owns more than nine tenths of the shares in a company, either the majority shareholder or a minority shareholder are able to demand that the majority shareholder should buy-out the rest of the shares in the company. When the parties are not able to agr
