  2. 1. Defence on Demand : A physiological perspective on phenotypic plasticity in anti-predator traits

    Author : Jerker Vinterstare; Enhet akvatisk ekologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Phenotypic plasticity; inducible defences; stress physiology; cortisol; immune function; trade-offs; sexual dimorphism; crucian carp; visual ecology; predator-prey interactions; POMC pro-opiomelanocortin ; colour change; eco-immunology; Anti-predator defences; Inducible morphological defence; Phenotypic plasticity; Stress physiology; Cortisol; Immune function; Crucian carp; Predator-prey interactions; Trade-offs; Sexual dimorphism; POMC; Pro-opiomelanocortin; Visual ecology; Eye evolution; Melanin; Eco-immunology; Pace-of-life; Behavioural plasticity;

    Abstract : Almost all species face some degree of predation risk, and, hence, evolution has produced a plethora of anti-predator defences. However, anti-predator strategies require resources, and the prevailing risk of becoming prey is influenced by many factors and rarely constant across time and space. READ MORE

  4. 2. Efficient implementation of stream applications on processor arrays

    Author : Jerker Bengtsson; Högskolan i Halmstad; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Parallel processing; reconfigurable architectures; stream processing; baseband; Computer engineering; Datorteknik;

    Abstract : This thesis concludes work conducted on exploring the usage of parallel and reconfigurable processor architectures in industrial high-performance embedded systems. This kind of systems has by tradition been built using a mix of digital signal processors and custom made hardware. READ MORE

  5. 3. Models and Methods for Development of DSP Applications on Manycore Processors

    Author : Jerker Bengtsson; Bertil Svensson; Shuvra S. Bhattacharyya; Högskolan i Halmstad; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; parallel processing; manycore processors; high-performance digital signal processing; dataflow; concurrent models of computation; parallel code mapping; parallel machine model; dynamic performance analysis; Computer engineering; Datorteknik;

    Abstract : Advanced digital signal processing systems require specialized high-performance embedded computer architectures. The term high-performance translates to large amounts of data and computations per time unit. The term embedded further implies requirements on physical size and power efficiency. READ MORE

  6. 4. Tendon autografts for bridging nerve defects

    Author : Jerker Brandt; Malmö Handkirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; traumatology; Surgery; orthopaedics; cell culture; graft; rat; collagen; tendon; Schwann cells; axons; Peripheral nerve regeneration; axonal outgrowth; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi;

    Abstract : A new method, where a tendon segment – a tendon autograft – was used as graft material for peripheral nerve reconstruction, was developed. Defects, 10-15 mm long, in rat sciatic nerves were bridged by various modifications of tendons. READ MORE
