Attofysik handlar om att öppna ögonen för en värld som vi länge vetat fanns men fram till nu inte har kunnat se – elektronernas värld. En värld av ofattbart små och snabba förlopp och fenomen. Utvecklingen av lasertekniken har kommit så långt att vi faktiskt har möjlighet att studera den världen.
Approaches to determining the factuality of diagnoses and findings in clinical text tend to rely on dictionaries of marker words for uncertainty and negation. Here, a method for semi-automatically expanding a dictionary of marker words using distributional semantics is presented and evaluated. It is shown that ranking candidates for inclusion according to their proximity to cluster centroids of se

New modern techniques have made it possible to study plants in ways that previously was not possible. Using confocal microscopy it is possible to generate three-dimensional stacks of images of a plan
