The generally accepted knowledge of the word accent manifestations in West Swedish (prototype Gothenburg) predicts a specific pattern of the word accent gestures common to a great variety of dialects within Götaland. The generally accepted picture of the word accent distinction is that it is clearly manifested in the different pitch contours. The main purpose of the present study was to verify thi

The walking tests with a thermal manikin TORE were carried out with THERMPROTECT WP2 clothing. The test conditions simulated the human tests of the same work package, including ambient conditions (10 and 25 °C), clothing (impermeable and permeable), wetting of cotton underwear (wet and dry) and setting the walking speed to approximately the same level. Additional tests in homogenous conditions (Ta

The purpose of this dissertation is to analyse the principal elements of SAP (the Swedish Social Democratic Workers Party) church politics in the period 1944 to 1973. The central issues discussed are the relationship of church and state, freedom of religion, and political reforms touching the General Synod, the parish organisation, and the ordination of women. In this study, I suggest that the SAP

To the purpose of marine seismic acquisition, new acoustic sources have been developed to reduce the environmental impact. The use of marine vibrators makes it possible to define emission frequency ranges, consequently allowing limitation of the frequencies that disturb marine animal life. Constructing marine vibrators with high efficiency and linear dynamics is however difficult, and the vibrator

Concentrations of hydroxyl radicals and formaldehyde were calculated using homogeneous (HRM) and stochastic reactor models (SRM), and the result was compared to LIF measurements from an optically accessed iso-octane/n-heptane-fuelled homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine. The comparison was at first conducted from averaged total concentrations/signal strengths over the entire combu

Survey over the theme of pedagogy in the works of Pier Paolo Pasolini, Andrea Zanzotto and Alberto Moravia

Protective clothing protects wearers from hostile environments, including extremes of heat and cold. Whilst some types of protective clothing may be designed primarily for non-thermal hazards (e.g. biological hazards), a key challenge in all protective clothing remains wearer comfort and the management of thermal stress (i.e. excessive heat or cold). This book reviews key types of protective cloth

This paper develops a control integration methodology that can be used to balance competing performance objectives. The target application for the method is blood glucose management for diabetic patients. The true system model is uncertain and changes over time. Multiple controllers have been designed with competing performance objectives in mind. In the proposed method, on-line predictors are use
