Current models for predicting volatility do not incorporate information flow and are solely based on historical volatilities. We suggest a method to quantify the semantic content of words in news articles about a company and use this as a predictor of its stock volatility. The results show that future stock volatility is better predicted by our method than the conventional models. We also analyze

Nematode-trapping fungi are ubiquitous, soil-living organisms with the ability to infect and kill nematodes. These fungi have developed specialized infection structures for the capture of nematodes. Many nematode species are parasites on plants and animals, which have resulted in an interest to use nematode-trapping fungi as biological control agents. Through bioinformatics approaches, I have used

The interaction between starch and the whey proteins b-lactoglobulin and a-lactalbumin was examined in model systems. The change in thermal transitions (gelatinisation of starch, retrogradation of starch and melting of the amylose-lipid complex) on addition of various whey protein concentrations was studied with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The gelatinisation of starch was not influenc

This study investigates the relationship between prosody and information/discourse structure in spon- taneous spoken folk tales in the tonal Mon-Khmer language Northern Kammu, a language that behaves as a typical phrase language where available boun- dary tones are enhanced to mark information struc- turing. Topic is always placed before Comment by syntactic movement if necessary. There is a proso

Detta kapitel diskuterar om vad som gör det möjligt för Helsingborg att kalla sig för en kontinental stad i sin marknadsföring (mot framförallt övriga Sverige. Vad som lyfts fram i texten är till exempel topografi, den direkta närheten till hav i västerläge, närheten till Helsingör, det befolkningsrika omlandet, tegelarkitekturen, stadsbyggnadsideal, framgångsrika entreprenörer och inflyttning.

With MAX IV construction well underway and beam commissioning expected to commence in July 2015, first studies have been launched on improving the optics of the MAX IV 3 GeV storage ring with the goal of further reducing the emittance from the baseline design (320 pm rad) towards 150 pm rad while improving the matching of the electron beam to insertion devices to further improve the resulting phot

This thesis presents work in two main areas of focus, the development of electroanalytical techniques to monitor the dynamics of cellular processes as well as design and fabrication of microelectrode chips for electrochemical detection as well as a prototype microfluidic system to be used for cell analysis and culturing. The electrochemically monitored cellular parameters were the cellular redox e

From a deptrture in the public sphere perspective, this chapter explores how youg citizens , via their use of the internet, develop alternative political practices and identities, thereby contributing to new forms of civic cuoltures

Kapitlet beskriver rehabiliteringsteknikens bidrag till hur vi kan tänka om äldre och teknik som främjar ett modernt äldreliv och ger exempel på hur äldres erfarenheter och behov kan vara utgångspunkten för utvecklingen av produkter och tjänster.

This paper examines omission (zero translation) and related translation strategies in the English-Swedish Parallel Corpus and, in particular, how translators handle various discourse expressions (connectors, particles) that do not have a straightforward equivalent in the target language. It is demonstrated that, although connectors are sometimes omitted for other reasons than cross-linguistic non-
