Linux is a growing operating system in embedded systems. Today, Linux is not only in heavy servers but also in cell phones, PDAs, cameras and other devices running on battery power. While current technology is more energy efficient, more and more technologies are implemented into a single unit resulting in an overall increase of power consumption. Low power consumption is an increasingly important feature of a system today. Lower power consumption means lower costs, less environmental impact, and longer life for applications that runs on batteries. This work compiles methods to reduce power consumption of Linux systems. The work includes examining whether the available opportunities are platform-specific or of a more general nature. The evaluations of methods for efficacy, has been performed on three different platforms. Testing consists of different types of stress tests and turning the units on-and-off. The results show that many of the features for power management that are available in a Linux system are of a general nature and that the Linux kernel has good support for implementation of new power management functions. Through the power reduction tests it has been proven that reducing the frequency of the processor and bit rate of the Ethernet controller provides the highest efficiency gain at different load levels. This work also investigates whether implementation of dynamic frequency scaling on a new processor is a complex task or not. Implementations in the Linux kernel provide general code that means that only the processor-specific part needs to be implemented. The implementation was carried out without major complications. / Linux är ett växande operativsystem inom inbyggda system som finner allt fler tillämpningar i elektroniska produkter. Idag finns Linux inte enbart i tunga servrar utan även i mobiltelefoner, handdatorer, kameror och andra enheter som går på batteridrift. Samtidigt som dagens teknik är allt mer energieffektiv så implementeras allt fler tekniker i en och samma enhet vilket medför en total ökning av effektförbrukning. En låg effektförbrukning är en allt mer betydande egenskap hos ett system idag. En lägre effektförbrukning innebär lägre kostnader, mindre miljöpåverkan, och längre drifttid för applikationer som drivs på batteri. Arbetet sammanställer metoder för att reducera effektförbrukningen hos system med Linux. Arbetet innefattar även att undersöka huruvida de möjligheter som finns är plattformsspecifika eller av generell karaktär. Vid utvärdering av metoders effektpåverkan har tester utförts på tre olika plattformar. Testerna består av på- och avslag av enheter samt olika typer utav belastningstester. Resultatet visar att många utav de energisparfunktioner som finns tillgängliga i Linuxsystem är av generell karaktär och att Linuxkärnan har bra stöd för vidare implementering av energisparfunktioner. Vid försöken till effektreducering har det visat sig att minskning av hastigheten på processor och ethernet-controller ger störst vinst vid olika belastningsgrader. Arbetetet undersöker även huruvida implementationen utav dynamisk frekvensskalning på en ny processor är en komplicerad process eller inte. Resultatet visar att implementationen av funktionen för en ny processor inte är allt för komplicerad. Detta mycket på grund av att Linuxkärnans infrastruktur är uppbyggd i lager där många utav dessa lager är av generell karaktär och kan återanvändas. Detta medför att endast den hårdvaruspecifika delen behöver implementeras.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Diogo Martins Nunes.pdf: 540969 bytes, checksum: 969307884f3ced0bc71b0426a1a8882d (MD5) Previous issue date: 2011-02-11 / Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico - CNPq / Circle hooks (15/0 and 17/0) were compared with traditional hooks (type "J" 10/0) and used "hook timers (HT)” to identify the time capture and time in which the fish remained in line until haulback. Survival rates ranged considerably between species and species groups, and between the types of hooks and hooking location. As example, mortality rates showed billfishes significantly lower in circle hooks in compared to the traditional. The swordfish, in turn, reported higher mortality regardless the type of hook and hooking location, unlike the blue shark, which showed high levels of survival. By moreover, species of tunas and billfihes analyzed showed a significant trend toward reduction in mortality of individuals captured externally, resulting in an association between hooking location and the condition of the animal (χ2 = 13:54, p = 0.00023; χ2 = 27.35, p = 1.697e-07, respectively). For target species had a trend of increased survival with increased length of individual fish, although the group of sharks that trend was only observed for the blue shark, with a marginally significant difference, while other shark species showed a pattern otherwise, although the difference was statistically significant only for the crocodile shark. A total of 431 HT were activated and retrieved with fish on the line, represented by 20 species, of which 13 were captured more frequently at night. Some species demonstrated endure long periods of capture surviving until the time of haulback. Results suggest that knowledge of factors affecting survival of pelagic fish caught in fishing longline can develop/adopt fishing methods that reduce mortality primarily by members of the bycatch and animals caught incidentally. / Durante os experimentos anzóis circulares (15/0 e 17/0) foram comparados com anzóis tipo “J” 10/0 e utilizados “hook timers” (HT) para identificação da hora de captura e do tempo em que o peixe permaneceu na linha até seu embarque. O espadarte apresentou altos índices de mortalidade, ao contrário do tubarão azul, que obteve altos índices de sobrevivência a despeito do tipo e local em que o anzol foi fisgado. Por outro lado, as espécies de albacoras e agulhões analisados apresentaram uma tendência significativa de redução da mortalidade em indivíduos capturados externamente, resultando em uma associação entre o local de fisga e a condição do animal (χ2=13.54 e p=0.00023; χ2=27.35 e p=1.697e-07, respectivamente). Houve uma tendência de elevação da sobrevivência com aumento do comprimento individual dos peixes, embora no grupo dos tubarões essa elevação apenas foi observada para o tubarão azul, com uma diferença marginalmente significativa, enquanto que outras espécies de tubarão apresentaram um padrão contrário, embora a diferença tenha sido estatisticamente significante apenas para o tubarão cachorro. Um total de 431 HT foram ativados, havendo um claro crescimento da taxa de mortalidade dos peixes capturados com o aumento do tempo decorrido entre a captura e o seu embarque, porém, algumas espécies demonstraram suportar longos períodos de captura sobrevivendo até o momento do embarque. Os resultados sugerem que através do conhecimento dos fatores que afetam a sobrevivência de peixes pelágicos capturados na pesca com espinhel pode-se desenvolver/adotar métodos de pesca que reduzam a mortalidade principalmente dos integrantes da fauna acompanhante e animais capturados incidentalmente.

The following Master's thesis is devoted to the topic of Russian Siberian dialects, which are based on Great Russian dialects. The aim of the thesis is to present and evaluate a unique and still unexplored source of dialectological information - the work of the Russian scholar A. D. Grigoryev Русские старожильческие говоры Сибири written. This manuscript, which is still stored at Grigoryev's personal fund at the archives of the Academy of Sciences in the Czech Republic, is an extensive work containing more than 1,600 pages, where dialectal features of more than 550 municipalities in 12 provinces of Siberia are described. Theoretical part (Chapter I) shows the history of research of Siberian dialects as secondary dialects, their main specifics and history of settlement in Siberia. A. D. Grigoryev's life and work are introduced in Chapter II (practical part), along with detailed analysis and description of Russian Siberian dialects from the phonetic, morphological, lexical and syntactic point of view, based on the above mentioned work with an indication of toponyms where relevant linguistic phenomena are registered. The Master's thesis is mainly based on Russian materials, which deal with the topic of Siberian dialects. The main method applied in the thesis is a descriptive method.

Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva mätmetoder, som mäter träets egenskaper med hjälp av vågrörelser respektive mätmetoder som mäter träds egna vågrörelser. Vidare att undersöka hur människor uppfattar musik från trädens egna ljud (vågrörelser). Resultaten visar att det finns flera olika mätmetoder som främst mäter kvalité i träd och virke. Ytterligare två mätmetoder finns och de tar hjälp av sensorer, synthesizers och en örontrumpet, och mäter främst elektriska impulser, ljud och ljudvågor. Resultaten visar även att människor är positivt inställda till musik som kommer från träden. Slutsatsen som kan dras från detta arbete är att det finns många olika sätt att mäta och lyssna på träden på. / The purpose of this study was to describe measurement methods, which measure the properties of the wood using wave movements and measurement methods that measure the tree's own wave movements. Further to investigate how people perceive music from the trees' own sounds (wave movements). The results show that there are several different measuring methods that primarily measure quality in trees and wood. Two other measuring methods are available, and they use sensors, synthesizers and an ear trumpet, and mainly measure electrical impulses, sounds and sound waves. The results also show that people are positively attuned to music that come from trees. The conclusion that can be drawn from this work is that there are many different ways to measure and listen to the trees.
