A soft output decoding algorithm for convolutional codes, yielding list sequence (LS) decoding and soft symbol output was presented. The max-log list algorithm (MLLA) was introduced, it provides near-optimum soft symbol output equal to that of the max-log MAP algorithm. It was shown that the suboptimum MLLA provides the performance-complexity tradeoff.

This paper compares two hardware design flows, based on the classic VHDL on one side and the relatively new Bluespec System Verilog (BSV) on the other side. The comparison is based on a case study of a Java embedded architecture, comprising a Java native processor and a memory management unit. The processor is a micro-programmed, pipelined, Java-optimized processor (JOP), initially written in VHDL

The first chapter of this paper will give an overview of different ways of developing a university’s teaching and learning. There are many single activities that individually deal with the topic in a positive direction, such as teacher training, develop learning environments, develop teacher reward systems, etc. Traditionally educational development has been about these single activities focusing

Background: Postnatal sense of security, for parents, the first week after childbirth is important for their own and their baby’s wellbeing. Variables influencing the mother’s, and particularly the father’s, sense of security during the first postnatal week are not well known. No instrument measuring dimensions which can be influenced and supported by the postnatal health care team has been found

A DRIFT study of the adsorption and the (amm) oxidation of toluene was carried out at 150–300°C on a TiO2(B)-supported vanadia catalyst with a loading corresponding to 1.9 Mg V2O5 per m2 of the support surface area. In the absence of NH3 and gaseous oxygen, the adsorption of toluene at 150°C produces benzyl and benzoate intermediates. After one hour at the same temperature, further conversion of b

Participatory design (PD) has taken as its ideal that designers and users should engage in an equal language game. When we apply PD in contexts where some of the users involved are weak, ill, or have impairments, this assumed equality can no longer be an ideal. The workshop explores new ideals for participatory design in non-work settings with highly heterogeneous user constellations.

The article is a brief outline of the medieval building history of the churches of Halland.

The EU has set ambitious targets for renewable energy in its ‘energy & climate change package’ and proposal for a Directive on renewables. The latter sets national renewable energy targets for each Member State to reach the overall objective of 20% consumption by 2020. The challenge lies on how these targets can be met, and what kind of role bioenergy has to play in it. The EU Biomass Action P

For the development of single–ion irradiation system for living cells at the Lund Ion Beam Analysis facility (LIBAF) newly developed pre-cell (PC) detectors have been investigated. Central to the thesis is the fabrication and initial characterization of more than 100 ultra-thin silicon detectors having different thicknesses down to 5 μm with active areas ranging from 0.71 to 0.172 mm2, to be used

Popular Abstract in Swedish Många åtminstone i min generation kommer säkert ihåg att de under gymnasiets biologilektioner fick lära sig att vatten diffunderade fritt över cellens membran ? osmos och fri diffusion var ledorden. Jag vet inte hur läroböckerna är utformade idag, men efter att Nobelpriset i kemi år 2003 tilldelades Peter Agre för upptäckten av att aquaporiner fungerar som vattenkanalerIn order to identify integral and peripheral proteins associated with the plasma membrane (PM), highly purified Arabidopsis PMs were analyzed by mass spectrometry. In total, 238 putative PM proteins were identified, of which 114 were predicted to have transmembrane domains or to be PM-anchored. Identified proteins were involved in transport, signal transduction, membrane trafficking and stress res

Presents and argues two hypotheses for future Jesus research, based on an analytical overview of its recent history and methodological discussion: A. The gospels will be seen as generally trustworthy evidence of Jesus. B. Jesus research will use a more holistic method.

Sverige har fortfarande världens mest socialt segregerade eller klassuppdelade fackliga rörelse. Det fackliga landskapet har dock förändrats kraftigt. Andelen tjänstemän, kvinnor och invandrare har ökat starkt. Var tionde fackmedlem är numera född utomlands, men skillnaderna är stora mellan olika branscher och regioner. Förutom en relativ koncentration till storstäderna kan en klassmässig polarise
