This paper describes the Swedish reconnaissance squads in the engineer battalions, their equipment, tasks and organization. An analysis is made to compare the present weapons and fire power of the reconnaissance squad with an extended weapon alternative. The analysis focuses on the abilities effect, protection and movement in different situations typical of a reconnaissance squad. The facts that are presented in this paper are mostly founded on the new field manual FältarbR Dyktjänst 2007, which regulates much of the reconnaissance activities. The aim of this paper is the making of a contribution in the developing progress of the new field manual and the reconnaissance squads in Swedish engineer battalions. The result of the analysis shows that the extended weapon alternative would be an asset.

Bricoleur, digitala varelser och brus utgör tre viktiga noder, runt vilka mitt konstnärliga arbete rör sig. Parallellt med ett antal av mina verk beskrivs dessa begrepp kortfattat. / Bricoleur, digital beings and noise are three important nodes, making up cornerstones of my artistic work. These ideas are explained briefly parallel to a selection of my artworks.

This study generated two cyanide dihydratase (CynD) mutants of Bacillus pumilus C1 with improved activity at higher pH by random mutagenesis. The purpose of this study was to create enzyme variants better suited to degrade cyanide under the harsh conditions of industrial applications. We employed error-prone PCR to construct a library of CynD mutants. A high throughput screening system was developed to screen the library for improved activity. Two mutants were identified that could degrade cyanide at pH10 whereas the wild-type enzyme was inactive at pH9 or higher. The mutants each had three amino acid substitutions compared to the wild-type enzyme. The mutants were also more stable than the wild-type enzyme at 42oC. E327G was identified as one of the key amino acids that are responsible for the improved activity. The goal of the second project was to convert substrate specificity of the Bacillus sp. OxB-1 nitrilase to that of a cyanidase by mutagenesis or construction of hybrid genes. The OxB-1 nitrilase of Bacillus sp. shows a high level of identity with the cyanide dihydratases from B. pumilus C1 and P. stutzeri AK61 but utilizes different substrate. This provides a valuable resource to study the substrate specificity determinants of cyanide degrading enzymes. One deletion mutant and four hybrid proteins were constructed based on the alignment information. The constructed proteins were all unable to degrade cyanide.

Das Menschmodell MANIKIN bietet dem Anwender neue Möglichkeiten in der Analyse des arbeitstechnischen Umfeldes in der bekannten Pro/ENGINEER Umgebung. Dazu kann auf eine anthropometrische Datenbank zurückgegriffen werden. Neben einfachen Analysen, wie Reichweite und Sichtfenster, steht auch ein umfangreiches Angebot an Ergonomie-Analysen zur Untersuchung von Arbeitsprozessen zur Verfügung. Diese basieren auf den bekannten Grundlagen wie RULA, SNOOK und NIOSH91. Weiterhin ist das Modell gut zur Animation von Menschen bzw. Mensch-Maschine-Interaktionen geeignet, wobei hier ein spezielles Wissen über den Aufbau und den Einsatz von Körpersperrbedingungen zuträglich ist.

The modifications animals make to their environments can be critical to species diversity. Red squirrels (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus) create large piles of conifer cone debris (middens) and are hypothesized to function as a keystone species due to positive associations between middens and other vertebrate species. We assessed vegetation and landscape structure at middens with a resident red squirrel for varying consistencies over the prior 5 years and surveyed mammals and birds at the community and population level. After accounting for vegetation and landscape characteristics, red squirrel-created resources positively influenced species richness of medium and large mammals and ground foraging birds, abundance of deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) and ground foraging birds, and activity of cliff chipmunks (Tamias dorsalis). Increased knowledge of the interaction strength of the red squirrel with its environment may be used to inform decisions in forest management and restoration and offer insight on the conservation value of larderhoarding mammals.

Programų apsaugą yra svarbus šių dienų klausimas. 2009 metais pasaulyje buvo užfksuotas 43% piratavimo lygis, o Rytų Europoje 64% lygis. Vienas iš būdų apsaugoti programas nuo neteisėto naudojimo yra aparatiniai apsaugos metodai. Atlikus aparatinių apsaugos metodų analizę nustatyta, kad pažeidžiamiausia apsaugos vieta yra komunikavimas tarp programos ir aparatinio įrenginio, todėl apsaugos raktai, kurie vykdo dalį programos, gali apsaugoti nuo daugumą apgrąžos inžinerijos atakų. Įrodymui buvo sukurtas simuliacinis paskirstytų skaičiavimų aparatinės apsaugos Matlab modelis ir atliktas eksperimentis jo patikrinimas parodė, kad siūlomas apsaugos modelis yra atsparus derinimo ir programos klonavimo atakoms. Tyrimo metu, buvo sukurtas eksperimentinis apsaugos rakto prototipas, kuri vykdo dalį programos, o apsauga ištirta su dviem eksperimentinėmis programomis nuo derinimo, dekompiliavimo ir programos klonavimo atakų. Eksperimentinis tyrimas parodė, kad galima rasti programos kreipinius į apsaugos raktą, tačiau jų apėjimas ar pakeitimas, sugadina programą, praneša apie nežinomus adresus. Taip pat buvo atliktas eksperimetinės programos, apsaugotos komerciniu apsaugos raktu, tyrimas, kuris parodė, kad tradiciniai apsaugos metodai neužtikrina apsaugos nuo apgrąžos inžinerijos, kaip tai buvo įrodyta su eksperimentiniu apsaugos rakto prototipu. / Software protection is important problem of nowaday. In 2009 the piracy rate reaches 43% of all globe softwares usage, especialy high piracy rate is in Eastern Europe, where 64% of softwares are illegal. This brings hardware-based protection to be one of the prime defense against illegal software usage. The analysis of hardware-based software protection showed that the weakest part of hardware-based protection is communication with software, so dongle method, which computes part of the software inside dongle, could withstand most of reverse engineer attack methods. To prove this Matlab model of distributed dongle-based protection scheme was created and its experimental evaluation showed, that suggested software protection model is resistant against deassembling, debbuging and software cloning attacks. Equally, experimental distributed computing protection dongle prototype was created and tested with two experimental programs against deassembling, debbuging, decompilation and software cloning attacks. This shows that attackers can find calls to the dongle, but can not jump or nop it, such it was done in experimental software protected with traditional commercial dongle.
