  2. 16. Programming Model and Protocols for Reconfigurable Distributed Systems

    Author : Cosmin Ionel Arad; Seif Haridi; Gregory Chockler; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; distributed systems; programming model; message-passing concurrency; nested hierarchical composition; reactive components; software architecture; dynamic reconfiguration; multi-core; discrete-event simulation; peer-to-peer; testing; debugging; distributed key-value stores; data replication; consistency; linearizability; network partition tolerance; consistent hashing; self-organization; scalability; elasticity; fault tolerance; consistent quorums;

    Abstract : Distributed systems are everywhere. From large datacenters to mobile devices, an ever richer assortment of applications and services relies on distributed systems, infrastructure, and protocols. Despite their ubiquity, testing and debugging distributed systems remains notoriously hard. READ MORE

  4. 17. Plant Population Dynamics of Dodonaea angustifolia and Olea europaea ssp. cuspidata in Dry Afromontane Forests of Ethiopia

    Author : Tesfaye Bekele; Ingvar Backéus; Karin Bengtsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Developmental biology; Demography; Dodonaea angustifolia; Elasticity; Establishment; Germination; Natural regeneration; Olea europaea ssp. cuspidata; Population structure; Recruitment; Seed bank; Survival; Utvecklingsbiologi; Developmental biology; Utvecklingsbiologi; Ecological Botany; Ekologisk botanik;

    Abstract : Human disturbance has led to excessive deforestation and to a very limited forest cover in the Afromontane zone of Ethiopia, which forms a large part of the country. Thus urgent conservation measures are required to ameliorate the situation. READ MORE

  5. 18. Modeling and Verification of Ultra-Fast Electro-Mechanical Actuators for HVDC Breakers

    Author : Ara Bissal; Göran Engdahl; Elena Lomonova; KTH; []
    Keywords : Actuators; Armature; Capacitors; Circuit breakers; Coils; Damping; Eddy currents; Elasticity; Electro-mechanical devices; Electromagnetic forces; Finite element methods; HVDC transmission; Image motion analysis; Magnetic domains; Magnetic flux; Magnetic forces; Magnetic materials; Magnets; Thermal analysis; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : The continuously increasing demand for clean renewable energy has rekindled interest in multi-terminal high voltage direct current (HVDC) grids. Although such grids have several advantages and a great potential, their materialization has been thwarted due to the absence of HVDC breakers. READ MORE

  6. 19. Robust Preconditioners Based on the Finite Element Framework

    Author : Erik Bängtsson; Maya Neytcheva; Per Lötstedt; Svetozar Margenov; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; FEM; iterative solution method; algebraic multilevel preconditioner; sparse approximate inverse; block preconditioner; Schur complement approximation; nonsymmetric saddle point matrix; isostatic glacial adjustment; pre-stress advection; elasticity; viscoelasticity; in compressible solid; ABAQUS; BEM DDM; Scientific Computing; Beräkningsvetenskap;

    Abstract : Robust preconditioners on block-triangular and block-factorized form for three types of linear systems of two-by-two block form are studied in this thesis. The first type of linear systems, which are dense, arise from a boundary element type of discretization of crack propagation problems. READ MORE

  7. 20. MUSCLE TONE IMBALANCE IN HUMAN UPPER EXTREMITY An experimental study of muscle adaptation to altered tension

    Author : Fredrik Einarsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : muscle biopsy; freeze storage; upper extremity; shoulder; human muscle; sarcomere; stress-strain relationship; stress relaxation; stiffness; elasticity; mechanical testing; morphology; spasticity; obstetric brachial plexus palsy; rotator cuff tear; tendon transfer;

    Abstract : Aim: The aim of this thesis was to improve outcome after tendon transfer and rotator cuff surgery by investigating the impact on response to passive mechanical testing and change in structural characteristics associated with longstanding changes in the tension of skeletal muscle in the human upper extremities in vivo. Patients and methods: The investigational method was in vitro assessment of human upper extremity muscles. READ MORE
