This paper pinpoints some of the problems faced when a computer text production model (COMMENTATOR) is to produce spontaneous speech, in particular the problem of chunking the utterances in order to get natural prosodic units. The paper proposes a buffer model which allows the accumulation and delay of phonetic material until a chunk of the desired size has been built up. Several phonetic studies
I am not convinced that the challenge for self-adaptive software is how to handle unexpected changes. I believe that the real challenge is how to characterise the uncertainty that the self-adaptive software has to handle. Once a proper characterisation of the uncertainty is in place, I think handling unanticipated changes and situations becomes a lot simpler. What is difficult is to know what rang
Ground improvement with lime-cement pillars is becoming increasingly common in the Nordic countries for exploitation of areas with poor stability. However, there is no non-destructive method for quality control of the ground improvement. Significant changes in the electrical properties after mixing of the binders make electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) a potential method. In connection with l
Previous findings suggest a link between neuroinflammatory processes and suicidality. Despite several lines of evidence supporting this link, including increased pro-inflammatory markers in blood-, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)- and in post-mortem brain samples from suicidal individuals, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this pilot study, we explored the possibility that autoimmun
In this paper a generalized transition matrix method is utilized to analyze the equivalent model for antenna element.The characteristics of antenna element can be extracted from the internal complex structure of the antenna element to an external reference surface through generalized transition matrix and mapping vectors.The generalized transition matrix module contains three parts:a generalized t
Desalination is an important method for producing drinking water and it has been a freshwater supply alternative for a long time. The water resources in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, are mostly depending on desalination as a major source of (>80 %) drinking water, while the rest comes from groundwater. The largest number of desalination project is located in the Gulf countries (Sau
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen består av ett inledande kapitel och tre essäer, som studerar sjukpenningförsäkringen, sociala normer och sjukskrivning. Den första essän, Group-Specific Social Norms and Economic Incentives in a General Welfare System, behandlar interaktionen mellan ekonomiska och sociala drivkrafter i ett generellt bidragssystem. Vi anknyter resultaten till sjukpenningförThe thesis consists of an introductory chapter and three essays, considering sickness insurance, social norms and absence certification. The first essay, Group-Specific Social Norms and Economic Incentives in a General Welfare System, investigates the interaction between economic incentives and social influences in a general welfare system. We relate the results to sickness insurance. The model i
The dynamic range is an important quantity used to describe an image sensor. Wide/High/Extended dynamic range is often brought forward as an important feature to compare one device to another. The dynamic range of an image sensor is normally given as a single number, which is often insufficient since a single number will not fully describe the dynamic capabilities of the sensor. A camera is ideall

This paper analyses the potential biomass supply in the 15 EU countries, 8 new member states and 2 candidate countries (ACC10), plus Belarus and the Ukraine. For this purpose five scenarios were designed to describe the short-, moderate- and long-term potential of biomass-for-energy. Our assessments show that under certain restrictions on land availability, the potential supply of biomass energy
The citations of highly cited papers in the life sciences published in 1986 and 2000 was examined to determine the extent to which early impact predicts long term impact. Linear correlation between early and post-peak impact was found to be about 0.7
This essay raises the question as to whether a general principle of passivity exists within the Swedish law. This is a question that has been discussed by practicing lawyers for decades, but which has become increasingly relevant recently as a result of HD's intensive treatment of the passivity issue. Within the Swedish law, freedom of contract prevails with the premise that a party only becom
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Röjningsrösen kan härstamma från bronsålder och ända in i modern tid. De är svåra att datera då det inte finns några karaktäristika för ett röse som skapats under en viss tidsepok. Röjningsröseområden är likväl en stor källa till kunskap om hur jorden brukats under förhistorisk och historisk tid. Med hjälp av paleoekologi kan den förhistoriska miljön studeras. PIn the village Berg, Gällared’s parish, Halland, there is an area with 60 to 75 hectares of abandoned arable fields is present. Within Berg, Yttra Berg’s nature reserve is situated, where 9 hectares of the abandoned arable fields has been recorded, consisting of clearance cairns, terraces and stone walls. Close to the recorded abandoned arable fields a smaller bog, Sänkemosse, is situated. Nearby
Mat som kontaminerats av radionuklider genom till exempel radioaktivt nedfall kan ge höga stråldoser till kroppen. Nuklider med långa halveringstider kan ackumuleras i kroppen och ge en hög tidsintegrerad absorberad dos. Personer med kronisk njursvikt kan erhålla höga stråldoser efter intag av radionuklider eftersom många radionuklider utsöndras via njurarna. I den här undersökningen har vi studerHigh internal radiation doses can result from food, contaminated by radionuclides from for example nuclear fallout. Nuclides with long half-lifes can accumulate in the body and give a high time-integrated absorbed dose. Persons with end-stage renal disease can receive high absorbed doses after intake of radionuclides, since many radionuclides are mainly excreted by the kidneys. In this study the d
