Newton-Raphson and Goldschmidt algorithms can be sped up by using variable latency hardware architectures for rounding division, square root and their reciprocals. A new approach based on a rounding method with remainder estimate calculated concurrently with the algorithm was proposed in [5]. This paper presents an study of the hardware implementation of this approach and shows that does not suppo

Developments in body theory have had a strong impact on archaeology in recent years, but the concept of the body has tended to remain abstract. The term “body” is often used as a synonym for self or person, and the remains of bodies and body parts have often been approached theoretically as signs or symbols. While this has emphasized the importance of the body as a cultural construct and a social

We consider construction and realization aspects of encoders and decoders for braided block codes (BBCs), which are a powerful class of iteratively decodable codes. An efficient encoder is proposed as well as a pipeline decoder realization. Also, upper and lower bounds on the free distance of BBCs are derived.

On how dead bodies are handled in contemporary Sweden. Cultural perspectives on pathology, rituals, religion, funerals.

An experimental and theoretical study of compaction, flow and hydrodynamic dispersion in a chromatographic column containing non-rigid particles is presented. Experiments were performed using chromatographic columns packed with either a dextran-based chromatographic gel or glass beads. It was found that both the velocity variations and the dispersion irregularities in the column containing the co

Popular Abstract in Swedish Växande krav på transporters kvalitet och kvantitet ger höga förväntningar på vägarnas kvalitet. Därför har omfattande resurser ägnats åt vägbyggnad och särskilt förbättring av befintliga vägar för att bemöta krav på säkerhet, komfort och bärighet. Ett välfungerande vägnät är en viktig komponent i den ekonomi- och samhällsutvecklingsprocess som förbrukar en stor del av The main objective of this thesis is to study the response and development of permanent deformation in unbound granular materials, theoretically and experimentally. A testing box technique is used here to more closely simulate the behaviour of unbound aggregates subjected to external vertical loading. A small box device (800×800×800 mm) is employed to test both the response and permanent deforma

From the point of view of each individual’s sense-making, an organization is an emergent property of inter-individual sense-making processes and activities. The organization is a result of emergence from individual sense-making perspectives. A critically informed approach to research involves recognition / understanding of this emergence. Without the recognition of the uniqueness of each particula
