Hushållsel-Energieffektivisering i vardagen

Tre funktionsområden i vardagslivet har analyserats grundligt nämligen Hel och ren, Mätt och belåten samt Underhållning och information. Användningen av hushållsel har ökat från 9,2 med cirka 10 TWh under en tidsperiod på drygt tre decennier. Ökningen förklaras bland annat av att antalet hushåll har ökat, men även av att innehavet av apparater ökat i hushållen. Dessutom har användningsmönster kr

Using WordNet to Extend FrameNet Coverage

We present two methods to address the problem of sparsity in the FrameNet lexical database. The first method is based on the idea that a word that belongs to a frame is ``similar'' to the other words in that frame. We measure the similarity using a WordNet-based variant of the Lesk metric. The second method uses the sequence of synsets in WordNet hypernym trees as feature vectors that can be used

International benchmarking of e-learning at Lund University, Sweden - Aims and results

In 2008-2009 Lund University, Sweden, took part in two European benchmarking projects on eLearning, E-xcellence+ (EADTU) and Benchmarking eLearning exercise2009 (ESMU) as part of the University’s policy for quality assurance and quality enhancement of education. Among the aims were · to adopt, as the first Swedish university, a benchmarking process according to quality criteria of eLearning formul

Vulnerability Analyses of Interdependent Technical Infrastructures

In this chapter, the modelling framework presented in Chap. 5 will be used to perform vulnerability analyses from three perspectives: global vulnerability, critical components, and geographical vulnerability. Two case studies of two real-world interdependent infrastructure systems are performed; one focusing on an electric distribution system coupled with a water distribution system, and one focus

Ghosts also cry [Review of the motion picture Volver].

Reviews the film, Volver, directed by Pedro Almodóvar (2006). At the beginning of this extraordinary film, women in a small Spanish town tend to the graves of their departed; at the end, what some would consider a female "ghost" nurses a relative with cancer, as a haunting shot of a wooden door with cracks of light slowly turns dark, reminding us that in the blackness that will engulf us at the en

Establishing Timing Requirements and Control Attributes for Control Loops in Real-Time Systems

Advances in scheduling theory have given designers of control systems greater flexibility over their choice of timing requirements. This could lead to systems becoming more responsive and more maintainable. However, experience has shown that engineers find it difficult to exploit these advantages due to the difficulty in determining the “real” timing requirements of systems and therefore the techn
