Romulus Bucur is a renowned writer and literary critic. He is also faculty member at Transylvania University of Brasov, institution well-known for its courses of creative writing and translation studies. "Glosses" is a nimbly written theoretical book wherein many topics are analyzed. One of the most important is the work of Alexandru Musina, editor, writer, professor, and mentor of the Group of Br
This contribution is a partial report from a study of the identification accuracy and realism in the confidence judgments of the correctness in the identification reports in two kinds of target-present voice lineup. 24 men and 54 women were asked to identify a voice that they had heard previously in a dialogue context that simulated the planning of a burglary by two males 22 and 27 years old. The
Induction heating has the potential to be a very efficient heating method and by using litz wires instead of copper tubes the losses can be significantly reduced. The drawback with litz is the fact that it comprises insulation materials with low temperature resistance, typically in the range 150 – 200 °C. In order to solve this problem a solution is to create channels in the litz structure in whic
We consider the problem of L2-optimal triangulation from three separate views. Triangulation is an important part of numerous computer vision systems. Under gaussian noise, minimizing the L2 norm of the reprojection error gives a statistically optimal estimate. This has been solved for two views. However, for three or more views, it is not clear how this should be done. A previously proposed, but
”Vad ska vi äta ikväll?” är en välbekant fråga för många. Mitt avhandlingsarbete tar sin utgångspunkt i hur småbarnsfamiljer (vår definition inkluderar familjer med barn upp till 8 år) förhåller sig till och får ihop vardagen när det kommer till mat, måltider och inköp. Att varje dag hinna med att tillaga en ordentlig måltid som ska smaka familjens alla medlemmar innebär inte enbart att utföra arb
Graph cuts methods are at the core of many state-of-the-art algorithms in computer vision due to their efficiency in computing globally optimal solutions. In this paper, we solve the maximum flow/minimum cut problem in parallel by splitting the graph into multiple parts and hence, further increase the computational efficacy of graph cuts. Optimality of the solution is guaranteed by dual decomposit
Twelve children with mild/moderate hearing impairment (HI) and 12 children with specific language impairment (SLI), 5 - 9 years old, were assessed in order to compare novel word learning and to study cognitive and linguistic predictors for word learning. There was no significant difference on novel word learning between the groups. The strongest predictor for novel word learning was a lexical meas
Length and area regularization are commonplace for inverse problems today. It has however turned out to be much more difficult to incorporate a curvature prior. In this paper we propose two improvements to a recently proposed framework based on global optimization. The mesh geometry is analyzed both from a theoretical and experimental viewpoint and hexagonal meshes are shown to be superior. Our se
Internet usage is evolving, from the traditional WWW usage (i.e. downloading web pages), to triple-play usage where households may have all their communication services (telephony, data, TV) through their broadband access connection. The challenge is to design IP access networks so that they can deliver services with strict QoS demands such as IPTV at the same time as having capacity for (from the
Mat och ätande väcker känslor till liv, det handlar om njutning och avsmak, men också om oro, frustration och glädje. Floran av idéer, trender och råd om mat och måltider tycks ständigt växa. I hushåll med yngre barn är normer kring mat och ätande särskilt starka och involverar i sin tur specifik kunskap om hur den ”riktiga” måltiden görs. I den här artikeln handlar det inte om att kritiskt gransk
