The paper attempts at a general understanding of contemporary capitalism and some of its social and mental consequences. It works through combinations and variations of concepts from classical and contemporary social theory. Some key concepts are Mammonism, acceleration, ubiquity, self-dynamics, precariat, inertia, conformity, flexibility, specter of uselessness. The text refers to classical moder

This paper presents what we believe are the first (public) algorithms for floating-point (fp) color and fp depth buffer compression. The depth codec is also available in an integer version. The codecs are harmonized, meaning that they share basic technology, making it easier to use the same hardware unit for both types of compression. We further suggest to use these codecs in a unified codec architec

Popular Abstract in Swedish Antalet människor som insjuknar i cancer (cancerincidensen) runtom i världen ökar, exempelvis i Sverige har antalet diagnosticerade tumörer ökat med i snitt 2.1% per år de senaste 20 åren. Denna ökning förklaras bland annat av vår ökade livslängd och vårt val av livsstil. Trots detta har antalet människor som dör i cancer minskat de senaste 20 åren. Dessa motsägelsefullThe continual increase in incidence of cancer has created an urgent need for improved methods for diagnosis, prognosis and/or treatment. In this context, the field of biomarker research has expanded immensely during the last few years. This thesis, based on four original papers, revolves around protein biomarker discovery in cancer. For this purpose, an in-house design recombinant antibody microar

Designed as a system which, by transfer of knowledge and extended documentation, can act as one of many tools when it comes to dealing with situations containing violence, the SVARNE system may turn out to be an useful aid not only for people working with

Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are expected to play a significant role in the next generation of energy systems and road vehicles for transportation. To achieve high performance, low cost and high reliability, significant attention is needed on detailed modeling and simulation of various physical processes in PEMFC unit-cells. Substantial effort is also required to reach proper water

The state-of-the-art in development tools today provides users with a large number of both syntactic and semantic services, such as syntax highlighting, name completions and refactorings. Preferably, every language should have sophisticated tool support, but unfortunately, the manual task of tool development is both time-consuming and error-prone, making it too costly for small language communitie
