Three methods are suggested to identify and quantify flashback and flash forward events based on chemiluminescence recordings of swirling flames. The approaches differ in the procedure to determine the instantaneous flame position. The results revealed that the most robust method is to determine a threshold relative to the instantaneous maximum intensity. Analysis of the complete dataset indicated

Parts of large spiral galaxies, such as the Milky Way and Andromeda, are believed to have formed from the accretion of several smaller galaxies. Remnants of this chaotic merging era, such as dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies, are visible in the outskirts of large galaxies. dSph galaxies are characterized by their low luminosity, low surface brightness and high fraction of dark matter. Determining t

The flexion of the verb in the Norwegian language for the indicative mood present tense has only one morphologic form, no matter the person and the number. The Punjabi language (spoken by more than 90 million people) is an Indo-Arian language (an immense subgroup of the Indo-Iranian languages, having more than 900 million speakers). The Punjabi language is closely related to Romany (Gipsy) languag

New Information Systems Development Methodologies (ISDMs) are suggested in the belief that their deployment would be beneficial to consultants in their work. A large number of ISDMs already exist but their value has been questioned and at the same time new methodologies continue to be introduced in an attempt to support and improve the practice of information systems development work. What is not

Early cybernetics emphasized control and communication in the animal and the machine. Subsequent understandings of linguistic phenomena in the animal have shown them not to be reducible to purely mechanistic models. The linguistic complementarity, with its possibilities for transcendence, provides such an understanding, indicating relativistic approaches within modern systems theory. Comparisons a

Traditional high level synthesis is able to yield high computational resource utilisation and short critical paths. The shortcomings of the generated designs usually lies in the memory architecture. To achieve good performance on a FPGA, the data must reside in the fast on-chip memories, but these are commonly too small for the data being processed. Traditional high level synthesis cannot cope wit

The way in which the cortical cytoskeleton associates to the plasma membrane (PM) must be elucidated to understand the structural dynamics of many processes in the plant cell. In the present study, isolated cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L.) PM vesicles were used to characterize membrane/cytoskeleton interactions. Both actin and tubulin were shown to copurify with PM vesicles and this copurificati

Popular Abstract in Swedish I världen beräknas det finnas cirka 38 miljoner blinda människor enligt Värdshälsoorganisationen (WHO). Av dessa är 1,5 miljon barn under 16 år. Blindhet definieras av WHO som bästa korrigerade synskärpa under 0,05 (man klarar således inte att läsa översta raden på en vanlig synprövningstavla på halva normalavståndet), detta med bästa glasögonkorrektion och med båda ögoKnowledge of the epidemiology of visual impairment in children forms one of the cornerstones in paediatric ophthalmology. To gain an overview of the situation in Sweden an epidemiological study was performed. Totally 2373 visually impaired children were found, giving an age-specific prevalence of 10,9/10 000. Childhood blindness (i.e. vision
