Alf Mapp, Jr., 13th Annual ODU Literary Festival
No full textAn Eminent Scholar at Old Dominion University, Alf Mapp, Jr., is the author of six books, most recently Thomas Jefferson: A Strange Case of Mistaken Identity, cited as one of the Forty Best Books of 1987. He has written many other books and is the author of more than 800 articles in the New York Times and other metropolitan newspapers, scholarly journals, and popular magazines
Alf Mapp, Jr., 14th Annual ODU Literary Festival
No full textAn Eminent Scholar at Old Dominion University, Alf Mapp, Jr., is a critically acclaimed historian and biographer. A writer with a subtle narrative ability, the skill to make history into a compelling story, Mapp is the author of eight books and the co-author of numerous others. He has written more than 800 articles in the New York Times and other metropolitan newspapers, scholarly journals, and popular magazines. His books have been translated into nine languages. He has received world-wide praise for Thomas Jefferson: A Strange Case of Mistaken Identity, which was cited as one of the Forty Best Books of 1987 and chosen as a featured selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club.
This year, scheduled for a mid-October publication date, Alf Mapp\u27s Thomas Jefferson: Passionate Pilgrim will be in bookstores around the world, but residents of Hampton Roads and visitors to the 14th annual Old Dominion University Literary Festival will get a sneak preview. Mapp will read from his new work, and the book will be available exclusively in this area at that time. The work, an anxiously-awaited second volume on Jefferson, will trace his story from his inauguration as president through his founding of the University of Virginia to his death. Mapp\u27s book departs from the stereotypical view of Jefferson as a man of pure reason. Although he sees Jefferson as a man with great intellectual and reasoning powers, Mapp offers the story of a man who reacted passionately to ideas and the people around him. Jefferson\u27s life, according to Mapp, was a pilgrimage of discovery

Alf Nilsen-Børsskog — The Author Chosen by the Language
No full textThis article discusses Alf Nilsen-Børsskog’s four-volume series of novels Elämän jatko [Continuation of life, 2004–2015], seen as the first literary works treating the Kven culture from a native perspective. Nilsen-Børsskog’s novels are analysed as constituting a “counterstory”, a term coined in the postcolonial cultural research paradigm to refer to self-representation. The Kvens have been considered a national minority in Norway since 1999, and their language has been an official minority language since 2005. The present author scrutinizes how Nilsen-Børsskog’s work differs from previous literary descriptions of this minority, often marked by the frequent use of stereotypes of the Kven language and culture
Sovelluskohtainen signaaliprosessori HEVC ALF-suodattimelle
No full textTässä työssä esitellään High Efficiency Video Coding-videopakkausstandardi ja kiinnitetään erityisesti huomiota standardin osana kehitettyyn adaptiiviseen silmukkasuodatukseen (ALF). Adaptiivinen silmukkasuodatus parantaa kuvanlaatua objektiivisesti ja subjektiivisesti. Suodatus poistaa muun muassa muunnoksista aiheutuvia virheitä, kvantisointikohinaa ja värisävymuutoksia. Suuri vaihtuvien kertoimien lukumäärä tekee ALF-suodattimesta laskennallisesti haastavan.
Työssä esitellään erilaisia ALF-suodatukseen käytettyjä toteutuksia ja esitetään uusi energiatehokas reaaliaikaiseen ALF-suodatukseen teräväpiirtoresoluutioilla kykenevä ratkaisu. Tehty toteutus perustuu siirtoliipaistavan prosessoriarkkitehtuurin (TTA) käyttöön. 312,5 MHz:n kellotaajuudella toimiva prosessori kykenee suodattamaan yli 30 1920x1080 resoluution lumakehystä sekunnissa kuluttaen tehoa 32 mW.
Prosessorin alhainen porttimäärä ja matala tehonkulutus mahdollistavat sen käytön sulautetuissa järjestelmissä. Ohjelmakoodi on kirjoitettu korkean tason ohjelmointikielellä, mikä mahdollistaa prosessorissa ajettavan sovelluksen nopean päivittämisen ja muuttamisen ilman, että prosessoriin joudutaan tekemään muutoksia. Kirjallisuusselvitykseen perustuen työssä esitetty ratkaisu on ensimmäinen täysin ohjelmoitava sulautettu ratkaisu ALF-suodatuksen toteuttamiseen.This work will give a brief introduction to the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard and especially Adaptive Loop Filtering (ALF) which is a part of the HEVC standard. ALF improves objective and subjective image quality and reduces errors caused by image transforms, quantization noise and color changes. Size of the ALF-filter and adaptive coefficients make it computationally complex.
This research will give an overview of the state of the art in ALF implementations and presents a new energy efficient ALF solution. The proposed processor is based on Transport Triggered Architecture and it can process 1920x1080p luminance frames at over 30 frames per second, when operated at a clock frequency of 312,5 MHz. The Processor power consumption is 32 mW.
Low power consumption and a low gate count make the proposed processor suitable for embedded devices. The processor program code is written in pure C-language, which allows the versatile use of the circuit and updates to the filter functionality without modifying the processor design. To the author best knowledge this is the first programmable solution for ALF on embedded devices
