This paper presents dataflow machines, a model for stream programs aimed at capturing their logical structure in a way that is amenable to analysis, composition, and hardware and software code generation. We discuss the properties of the model, and its relationship to a previous effort, actor machines. Dataflow machines are motivated by the shortcomings of actor machines when generating highly par
We present a rasterizer, based on time-dependent edge equations, that computes analytical visibility in order to render accurate motion blur. The theory for doing the computations in a rasterization framework is derived in detail, and then implemented. To keep the frame buffer requirements low, we also present a new oracle-based compression algorithm for the time intervals. Our results are promisi
Perspectives on the Entangled History of Communism and Nazism. A Comnaz Analysis is an anthology raising questions about moral equivalalence and comparability when it comes to the Communist and National Socialist dictatorships. The authors in the book analysis the entanglement of Communism and Nazism both as historical subjects and as historical and social memories.
Construction of the MAX IV facility started in 2010 and commissioning is expected to begin in 2014. Once com- pleted, the facility will include two storage rings for the production of synchrotron radiation. The 3 GeV ring will house insertion devices for the production of x-rays, while the 1.5 GeV ring will serve UV and IR users. Recently, the lattice and optics of the 1.5 GeV storage ring have be
Popular Abstract in Swedish 10.SWEDISH SUMMARY(Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning) Proteiner är viktiga byggstenar i cellen och är uppbyggda av kroppens tjugo olika aminosyror. Varje protein har en unik egenskap och spelar en viktig roll för cellens funktion. Vissa proteiner löser sig i vatten (hydrofila) medan andra är olösliga (hydrofoba). Membranproteiner är hydrofoba proteiner som är inbäddadeMembrane proteins are crucial components of the cell and are involved in many biological processes. Recombinant overexpression systems together with different purification methods are necessary to obtain large amounts of purified receptor for biophysical and functional studies. More knowledge about membrane proteins, and especially G-protein coupled receptors, would facilitate the development of i
Abstract in Chinese 戰爭是人類歷史活動最激烈的場合，而戰爭史亦曾經在古典歷史著作中佔有重要篇幅。傳統的戰爭史最集中、最尖銳地反映了歷史必然性和偶然性的衝突，個人主觀意志與客觀環境局限性的衝突，及伴隨著暴力出現的人性美德與劣根性的衝突，在今天仍具有研習價值。然而戰爭史與主流學科也存在日趨脫節的問題，研習者的專業興趣有時與外界學術環境及價值觀的變化未能對上口徑。 引進戰略文化（strategic culture）的研究方向，可以為戰爭史研究與國際關係、社會學及文化研究提供科際整合的橋樑。文化如何影響國際社會間的決策和行為，近年日益受到學術關注。過去學界曾普遍相信結構決定行為，因此國際無政府狀態(international anarchy)被認為是現實主義（realism）行為模式的結構性根源。然而隨著結構主義（structuralism）及相關的學說受到挑戰，一部分國際關係
The supply of fresh food is being transformed: retailers are gaining increasing power and control from manufacturers and the location and nature of production is evolving. This new title, based on groundbreaking research, will enable logistics professionals to recognise the opportunities available in this changing market and successfully manage change in the supply chain.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Röntgen och isotopundersökning vid knäledsartros: en jämförelse med magnetkamera-undersökning Denna avhandling utgör en del av ett större forskningsprojekt om tidig artros (s.k. broskförslitning) i knäleden. Studien omfattar nästan 200 personer med knäsmärta, som när projektet startade 1990 var mellan 35 och 54 år. Vår avsikt är att under minst 10 års tid regelbundet uThe aim was to compare radiography of the tibiofemoral joint (TFJ) and the patellofemoral joint (PFJ), as well as bone scinigraphy with MR imaging in middle-aged individuals with chronic knee pain in the format of a prospective study of knee osteoarthritis. Individuals aged 35-54 years with chronic knee pain were identified. The prevalence of chronic knee pain was 15% (279/2000). Within this grou
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det övergripande syftet med denna avhandling var att undersöka om det tidsmässiga avståndet till olika handlingar och situationer påverkar människors moralbedömningar och etiska beslutsfattanden. Construal Level Theory (CLT; Trope & Liberman, 2003) postulerar att temporalt avlägsna händelser representeras på en mer abstrakt nivå än temporalt nära händelser. Denna föThe aim of this dissertation was to examine whether the temporal distance of moral events affects the moral judgments and decisions people make in response to those events. Drawing upon Construal Level Theory (CLT; Trope & Liberman, 2003) which posits that the distant future is represented at a higher, more abstract level of mental construal than the near future, and that high-level mental con
Sentiment analysis, or opinion mining, is the process of extracting sentiment from documents or sentences, where the expressed sentiment is typically categorized as positive, negative, or neutral. Many different techniques have been proposed. In this paper, we report the reimplementation of nine algorithms and their evaluation across four corpora to assess the sentiment at the sentence level. We e
Heterogeneous parallel systems are becoming mainstream computing platforms nowadays. One of the main challenges the development community is currently facing is how to fully exploit the available computational power when porting existing programs or developing new ones with available techniques. In this direction, several design space exploration methods have been presented and extensively adopted
From its early days, the academic debate on public goods has focused on discrepancies or trade-offs regarding the provision of public goods on the one hand and private goods on the other. However, both the extension of the public domain and an increasing interdependence in international relations clearly drive the expansion of an agenda in which there are a growing number of cases where public goo
Popular AbstractAvhandlingen presenterar, från ett fenomenologiskt perspektiv, interaktionen mellan naturvetenskapens kunskap och annan kunskap, här kallad "vardagskunskap". Utgångspunkten i presentationen är människans existens. Två aspekter av denna lyfts fram som centrala - att människan är kroppsligt utsatt för, berörd av, något hon inte har full kontroll över, samt att hon alltid agerar utifrThe dissertation presents a phenomenological view on the interaction between science knowledge and prescientific knowledge. Drawing on Husserl, Merleau-Ponty and Lévinas the human bodily grounded existence is described, the central feature of this existence being its responsivity to the Other. This responsivity is presented as the starting point for the production of science knowledge, thus making
Christian Zionism is usually characterized as a theological and political movement grounded in literalist bible hermeneutics and End-time speculations that dedicate unwavering support to the State of Israel and the Jewish people. The prophetic element in Christian Zionism has in later years been downplayed for a more down-to-earth focus on social and political commitment to the well-being of the s
