This work investigates the interface and properties of an ionization radiation detector with the PhPix chip, which is the basis of a future large-scale detector for use in nuclear medicine. In the next stage, an IP core for communication between the processor system and the PhPix chips on the Zynq platform is designed. Furthermore, software for video transmission over Ethernet interface is developed.

This thesis presents a method to develop a visualization software for time-varying and geographic-based data. The machine learning team at Ericsson has collected data from their machine learning algorithms. The data set contains timestamped and geographic information. To have a better understanding of the result made by the machine learning algorithms, it is important to understand the pattern of the data. It is hard to see the pattern of the data by only looking at the raw data set, and data visualization software will help the users to have a more intuitive view of the data.  To choose a suitable GUI library, three common GUI libraries were compared. The Qt framework was chosen as the GUI library and development framework because of its wide-range support to user interface design. Animation is the main method to visualize the data set. The performance evaluation of the software shows that it handles the back-end data efficiently, renders fast in the front-end and has low memory and CPU usage. The usability testing indicates that the software is easy to use. In the end, the thesis compares its method to a previous method, developed in R. The comparison shows that even though the old method is easier to develop, it has worse performance.

The radio magnetotellucic (RMT) method originates from (Tikhonov, 1950) and (Cagniard,1953) who discovered the possibility to estimate resistivity in the Earth’s subsurface using naturally occurring telluric currents. This through measuring the surface impedance of electromagnetic waves. Later (Paal, 1965) makes use of electromagnetic plane-waves originating from radio transmitters that operates in the very low frequency range (10 − 30kHz). These plane waves artificially induce telluric currents which can then be used to estimate resistivity in shallow subsurface. It is hence the source of the electromagnetic wave inducing the telluric current that named the RMT method accordingly. It’s then shown by (Bastani, 2001) that the signal can be measured in an even broader band (10 − 250kHz) to gain a better vertical resolution. Finally, frequency of the electromagnetic wave is affecting the skin depth and one can therefore estimate the depth of resistivity layers in the subsurface. In this thesis a data processing algorithm has been developed, based on the work in (Bastani, 2001), that processes RMT field data. Impedance, resistivity among other quantities is calculated. One can then export this data and use it in existing modeling software. New processing parameters has been implemented and its effect on the data set investigated. The software is implemented in matlab, and tested with synthetic data and data measured at Blötberget, Sweden. However, work is still to be done due to field equipment malfunction during measurements at Blötberget. This rendering an, at least partly, faulty data set. Therefore one cannot completely exclude calibration issues until a clean data set is taken. / Den radio magnetotelluriska (RMT) metoden har sitt ursprung i (Tikhonov, 1950) och (Cagniard, 1953) arbete där strukturen hos geologisk resistivitet uppskattas med hjälp av naturligt förekommande elektriska jordströmmar. Detta genom att mäta den elektromagnetiska vågimpedansen vid markytan. Sedan använder (Paal, 1965) sig av elektromagnetiska planvågor från lågfrekventa radiosändare (10 − 30kHz), som artificiellt inducerar jordströmmar, för att uppskatta resistiviteten i mer ytligt underliggande geologisk struktur. Det är således källan till den inducerade jordströmmen som namngett RMT-metoden. Det är sedan påvisat av (Bastani,2001) att man kan använda sig av frekvenser i ett bredare spektrum (10 − 250kHz) för att få ökad vertikal upplösning. Slutligen påverkar frekvensen hos den elektromagnetiska vågen inträngningsdjupet och på så sätt tillåts det att uppskatta resistiviteten vid ett särskilt djup. I denna studie har en databehandlingsalgorithm utvecklats, baserat på arbete utfört av (Bastani, 2001), som bearbetar RMT fältdata. Impedans och resistivitet samt andra storheter beräknas för att sedan kunna exporteras och användas i existerande modelleringsprogramvara. Programvaran är skriven i matlab, och dess funktionalitet har prövats med syntetisk data samt data från Blötberget, Sverige. Även påverkan av olika processparametrar har undersökts. Detta har gjorts med framgång, men arbete återstår för att fullständigt verifiera korrekt implementering då utrustningen som användes för insamling av fältdata vid Blötberget felade. Därför kan kalibreringsproblem i programvaran inte helt uteslutas.

This thesis describes the implementation of a Controlled English Commenting (CEC) system that aids a VHDL modeler in entering controlled English comments. The CEC system developed includes a graphical user interface (GUI). The interface permits a modeler to submit comments for insertion at user selected points in a text file containing the model. A submitted comment is analyzed for vocabulary and syntax, and is then inserted if it is controlled English. If it is not, the CEC system extracts all possible controlled English comments that can be formed from the original comment and presents them to the user for selection and entry into the model. The interface then queries the user to complete any residual portions of the original comment until the user is satisfied. Until the user becomes familiar with the constraints of the controlled language, significant interaction is needed, particularly on complex comments. Preliminary experiments indicate that users rapidly learn the language's constraints and the need for interactive help declines. / Master of Science

Efficiency as a term in software testing is, in the research community, a term that is not so well defined. In the industry, and specifically the test tool industry, it has become a sales pitch without meaning. GUI testing in its manual form is a time consuming task, which can be thought of as repetitive and tedious by testers. Using human testers to perform a task, where focus is hard to keep, often ends in defects going unnoticed. The purpose of this thesis is to collect knowledge on the area efficiency in software testing, but focusing more on efficiency in GUI testing in order to keep the scope focused. Part of the purpose is also to test the hypothesis that automated GUI testing is more efficient than traditional, manual GUI testing. In order to reach the purpose, the choice fell to use case study research as the main research method. Through the case study, a theoretical study was performed to gain knowledge on the subject. To gain data used for an analysis in the case study, the choice fell on using a semi-experimental research approach where one automated GUI testing technique called Capture & Replay was tested against a more traditional approach towards GUI testing. The results obtained throughout the case study gives a definition on efficiency in software testing, as well as three measurements on efficiency, those being defect detection, repeatability of test cases, and time spent with human interaction. The result also includes the findings from the semi-experimental research approach where the testing tools Squish, and TestComplete, where used beside a manual testing approach. The main conclusion deducted in this work is that an automated approach towards GUI testing can become more efficient than a manual approach, in the long run. This is when efficiency is determined on the points of defect detection, repeatability, and time.

Neste trabalho desenvolvemos um método de controle e aquisição de dados, particularmente aplicado a medidas de correntes termoestimuladas (TSC), mas que podem ser estendidas a sistemas semelhantes. O sistema automatizado de medidas TSC em plataforma GUI, foi implementado de modo a realizar o controle da temperatura de uma estufa, de forma que seja possível gerar rampas lineares com taxas programáveis, e também a leitura de sinais analógicos referentes ao sistema, como corrente e temperatura, e processar os sinais obtendo como resultado curvas gráficas (sinais processados em função do tempo). Os resultados são armazenados e podem ser exibidos, ou impressos e transferidos para o padrão de arquivo de entrada de outros aplicativos. Os dados são obtidos em tempo real e o sistema utiliza conceitos da tecnologia GUI, onde provemos um estudo desta, gerando janelas com interação orientada a eventos e uma interface gráfica com o usuário bastante interativa. O sistema faz uso de microcomputador padrão IBM PC AT e utiliza o MS-Windows 3.1 como plataforma GUI (\"GraphicsUser Interface\"). / A method for control and data acquisition using GUI environment, applied to thermal and electrical measurements was developed. The method was specifically applied to thermal stimulated current (TSC), but it can be extended to similar systems. The GUI - based automated TSC system maked possible the accurate control of the oven temperature, at different heating rates. This system performs the data acquisition of analogic signals (current and temperature, for instance), and those signals are processed generating functions of time and/or temperature (TSC curves, for example). Stored results can be displayed, printed, as well as transferred to files, which are compatible to standard applicative for data treatment. Data are obtained in real time and the system uses GUI concepts, which are extensively studied in this work, generating events oriented windows and a user-friendly graphical interface. The system configuration consists of an IBM PC AT microcomputer and the MS-Windows 3.1 is used as the GUI environment.

Creating for the first time GUI (graphical user interface) applications is an endeavor that can be most challenging. This article introduces the general concepts of GUIs and the need to interact with GUI elements only on the so called "GUI thread". The concepts pertain to GUI applications written for Windows, Linux and MacOS alike. Using Java libraries for creating Rexx GUI applications makes these Rexx GUI applications totally platform independent. Taking advantage of BSF4ooRexx even the powerful JavaFX GUI libraries can be exploited by pure Rexx, allowing Rexx programmers to create the most demanding and complex GUI applications in an unparalleled easiness in an astonishing short period of time. The introduced GUI concepts will be demonstrated with short nutshell examples exploiting the JavaFX GUI libraries, empowering the Rexx programmers with the ability to create stable and error free GUI applications in Rexx.

Ce travail porte sur deux mots particulièrement liés aux pensées religieuses anciennes : le mot « daimôn » dans la Grèce avant Platon et le mot « gui » dans la Chine pré-Qin. Comme le « daimôn » qui devient le « démon » maléfique, le « gui » aujourd’hui péjoratif ne l’est pas nécessairement dans la langue ancienne, mais ces deux termes sont intéressants notamment en raison de leur polyvalence et leur ambiguïté. Pour montrer tous les aspects importants du mot « daimôn » et du mot « gui » ainsi que les points de connexion entre ces deux mots à facettes, nous avons essayé de tracer le parcours de ces deux mots à travers les sources anciennes. Ces analyses montrent d’une part la vitalité et la créativité des traditions anciennes qui ont exercé de fortes influences sur l’emploi du mot « daimôn » et d’autre part, la création complexe et probablement relativement tardive de la tradition « gui-esprit/mânes ». Par l’intermédiaire de ces deux mots, la comparaison entre la Grèce et la Chine ancienne en ce qui concerne les traditions religieuses nous mène également à des réflexions sur la relation entre les langues et les traditions. La continuité des langues transforme les créations en traditions et elle apporte aussi la créativité aux traditions déjà créées. / This work concerns two words particularly connected to ancient religions: the word daimôn in the Greece before Plato and the word gui in pre-Qin China. The same as daimôn which becomes to be the malefic démon, gui usually pejorative today did not contain necessarily negative connotations in old Chinese, but these two terms are interesting especially because of their versatility and their ambiguity. To show all the important aspects of the word daimôn and the word gui as well as the connection points between these two words multifaceted, we tried to analyze these two words in ancient works. These analyses show on one hand the vitality and the creativity of old traditions which exercised strong influences on the uses of the word daimôn and on the other hand, the complexity of the « gui-spirit/manes » tradition probably created relatively lately. Owing to these two words, the comparison between Greek and Chinese religious traditions also leads us to think about the relationship between languages and traditions. Languages’ continuity transforms creations into traditions and it also brings the creativity to traditions already created.

This thesis addresses the problem of automated graphical user interface generation for functional programs. First an analysis of current state in the field of automated GUI generation is performed. Based on the analysis the concept of Functionally Structured User Interface (FSUI) is introduced. Meta-data system for code annotation is then specified for the Clojure programming language and a transformation from this system to FSUI data model is implemented. Finally a graphical layer for displaying the actual interface is implemented in Clojure. Benefits of this approach are demonstrated by proof-of-concept case study.
