Task-level industrial robot programming is a mundane, error-prone activity requiring expertise and skill. Since humans easily communicate with natural language (NL), it may be attractive to use speech or text as instruction means for robots. However, there has to be a substantial amount of knowledge in the system to translate the high-level language instructions to executable robot programs. In th

Artikeln, som ingår i en omfattande rapport från ett projekt in Nordiska ministerrådets program ”Norden och Europa”, behandlar situationen 1945–48. Efter fredsslutet betraktades världskriget i Sverige snart som en olycklig parentes. 1930-talets reformarbete, inspirerat från U.S.A., kunde fortsätta. Rättsuppgörelsen sträckte sig endast till vissa individer och institutioner, och tog inte upp regeri

Abstract in UndeterminedThis paper is an ethnographical account of a visit to the IKEA store in Älmhult, Sweden. In this paper IKEA is understood as something beyond a retailer offering consumer goods to consumers, and the bond between IKEA and the consumer is understood as something emerging before and extending beyond the contract into which the consumer enters as she or he pays for the goods be

Syftet med detta utkast är att identifiera och analysera de sociala relationer och motsättningar som uppstår i ett samhälle som förändrats helt under ett krig. Den empiriska delen bygger på observationer i Ljubija, en stad i nordvästra Bosnien, tidningsartiklar från området samt fjorton intervjuer. Utvecklingen under och efter kriget har gjort att folk i Ljubija grupperas i tre skikt. En grupp b

The nonlinear kinetic equation of Prigogine and Herman is examined in regards to existence and uniqueness of solutions. The solution exists and is unique in the Banach space of bounded continuous functions over a particular subspace Ω. The equilibrium solution of the kinetic equation of Prigogine and Herman is used to derive asymptotic type series expansions in the form of Hilbert or Chapman and

West Greenlandic Inuit Eskimo intonation has been described previously at word, phrase, and sentence levels (Mase 1973, Rischel 1974, Nagano-Madsen 1992, 1993). The present study attempts to extend the previous descriptions of intonation in this language by analysing text reading material, with focus on the phrasing function of intonation. The phrasing function of intonation has received much atte

Abstract To determine whether increased vascular resistance in the uterine artery is associated with carriership of factor V Leiden, a retrospective study was undertaken of 231 pregnant women who were monitored with Doppler velocimetry of the uterine arteries. These women had been part of a prospective study of 2,480 pregnant women in whom factor V Leiden had been analysed. When compared with non-
