Many application areas for embedded systems, such as DSP, media coding, and image processing, are based on stream processing. Stream programs in these areas are often naturally described as graphs, where nodes are computational kernels that send data over the edges. This structure also exhibits large amounts of concurrency, because the kernels can execute independently as long as there are data to

Multimodality is in fact a polysemous word, which is tightly related to the notions of modality, and (semiotic) mode and is used in conceptually different ways across different disciplines (for a review see Adami, 2016; Devylder, 2019; Green, 2014). As cognitive semiotics (Zlatev et al., 2016) aims to integrate concepts and methods from semiotics, cognitive science and cognitive linguistics, we en

Aims: We assessed the changes in short- and long-term outcomes and their relation to implementation of new evidence-based treatments in all patients with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) in Sweden over 20 years. Methods and results: Cases with NSTEMI (n = 205 693) between 1995 and 2014 were included from the nationwide Swedish Web-System for Enhancement and Development of Evidence-B

Popular Abstract in Swedish Parkinsons sjukdom karaktäriseras av en progressiv degenerering av dopamin-producerande celler. Avsaknad av dopamin resulterar i kardinalsymptomen bradykinesi (långsamma rörelser), akinesi (avsaknad av rörelser), rigiditet (muskelstelhet) samt tremor (lågfrekventa darrningar i händerna, även kallad ”pillertrillar” rörelser). Den mest framgångsrika behandlingen består av

This thesis is based on four papers (A-D) treating filtering, smoothing, and maximum likelihood (ML) estimation in general state space models using stochastic particle filters (also referred to as sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods). The aim of Paper A is to study the bias of Monte Carlo integration estimates produced by the so-called bootstrap particle filter. A bound on this bias which is inv

Purpose of this paper Several different perspectives exist on the importance of food supply chain traceability and why it is scientifically investigated. These include the assessment of food security and quality preservation, economic, logistic, supply chain management, and information technical. Because of this, the concept of food supply chain traceability is defined in many different ways, depe

The European Spallation Source (ESS) is the European common effort in designing and building a next generation large-scale user facility for studies of the structure and dynamics of materials. The proposed schematic layout of the ESS facility is based on a linear driver (linac) directing the proton beam (5 MW of 2.5 GeV) of 2.8 ms long pulses with a 20 Hz on a tungsten target where neutrons are pr

Alarm systems are used in many situations, and should be as efficient as possible. In this thesis optimal predictive alarm systems, event predictors, are presented for general linear time series models with external signals. This family of process models include e.g. AR, ARMA, ARMAX and Box-Jenkins-type models. An optimal alarm system is characterized by having the least number of false alarms, fo

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund Anal inkontinens, dvs. oförmåga att kontrollera gasutsläpp eller defekation, är ett fysiskt och psykiskt invalidiserande tillstånd med inte sällan avsevärda svåra sociala konsekvenser. Gradering sker efter om inkontinensen gäller gas, lös eller fast avföring samt efter frekvens: 1g/månad, 1g/vecka eller dagligen (Wexner incontinence score). Anal inkontinens kaThe aim of this thesis was to study the endosonographic morphology of the anal sphincter in women, to establish an endosonographic sphincter defect score and to relate it to anal incontinence and anal sphincter pressure. A further aim was to determine intra-observer and inter-observer agreement in detection of endosonographic anal sphincter defects. An endosonographic anal sphincter defect classif

Heated buildings induce a heat flow from the building foundation into the ground. The topic of this thesis is the thermal process in the ground and, in particular, the heat losses from the building to the ground. Foundations of the three types slab on the ground, cellar, and crawl-space are dealt with. The crawl-space is treated in separate report. A reasonably complete theory for the thermal pro

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: There is an ongoing controversy about the significance of tonsillar ectopia among patients with idiopathic scoliosis (IS). AIM: To find out if tonsillar ectopia occurs more frequently among patients with IS and if it plays any etiological or prognostic role in IS. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective study. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of 155 consecutive spine MRIs (79 patients wit
