We describe a system for automatic annotation of English text in the FrameNet standard. In addition to the conventional annotation of frame elements and their semantic roles, we annotate additional semantic information such as support verbs and prepositions, aspectual markers, copular verbs, null arguments, and slot fillers. As far as we are aware, this is the first system that finds this informat

Normalt sett föreställer man sig att det finns ett samband mellan ord och handling. Det skulle betyda att människor som säger sig vara miljöengagerade också tar miljöhänsyn i vardagslivets handlingar. Man kan emellertid konstatera att vägen från ord till handling är kantad av många slags överväganden som leder till skillnader mellan det man säger sig tycka och vad man sedan gör. Mellan attityd och

The RF performance of vertical nanowire metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors in realistic layouts has been calculated. The parasitic capacitances have been evaluated using full 3-D finite-element method calculations, combined with self-consistent Schrodinger-Poisson calculations for the intrinsic gate capacitances. It is shown that a performance comparable to planar FETs can be achie

This thesis aims to find algorithms for optimal control of hybrid systems and explore them in sufficient detail to be able to implement the ideas in computational tools. By hybrid systems is meant systems with interacting continuous and discrete dynamics. Code for computations has been developed in parallel to the theory. The optimal control methods studied in this thesis are global, i.e. the ent

The paper describes the spectrometric system "SPES4-pi" used at the National Laboratory Saturne (CE Saclay, France) for the exclusive study of the baryon resonance excitation in inelastic alpha and d scattering on the proton, as well as coherent pion production in charge exchange reactions. The system consists of the magnetic spectrometer SPES4 and two wide-aperture position-sensitive detector arr

2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate-L-lactate (HEMA-LLA) and HEMA-L-lactate-dextran (HEMA-LLA-D) were synthesized. H-1-NMR confirmed the formation of these oligomers and macromers. Cryogels with different pore structures were prepared using different amounts of HEMA, HEMA-LLA and HEMA-LLA-D by a cryogelation technique. SEM micrographs exhibited pore morphologies. Cryogels were highly porous with interconn

Non-tapered vertically straight GaxIn1-xP nanowires were grown in a compositional range from Ga0.2In0.8P to pure GaP in particle-assisted mode by controlling the trimethylindium, trimethylgallium and hydrogen chloride flows in metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy. X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy in transmission electron microscopy revealed homogeneous radial material composition in single nanowi

Objectives: The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) has not been validated to diagnose aphasia in the stroke population. We therefore examined the diagnostic accuracy of NIHSS for detecting aphasia in acute ischemic stroke. Methods: Consecutive patients with acute first-ever ischemic stroke were included prospectively in Lund Stroke Register Study at Skåne University Hospital, Swede

Entropy production is a key concept of thermodynamics and allows one to analyze the operation of engines. For the Scovil-Schulz-DuBois heat engine, the archetypal three-level thermal maser coupled to thermal baths, it was argued that the common definition of heat flow may provide negative entropy production for certain parameters [Boukobza and Tannor, Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 240601 (2007)PRLTAO0031-9

Lung transplantation is the only option for end-stage lung diseases, but organ shortage remains problematic. Generating lungs ex vivo could overcome shortages with current approaches being explored for lung tissue engineering utilizing a biologically derived, synthetic or hybrid scaffold which is seeded with cells and cultured ex vivo. Ideally, cells could be sourced from the transplant recipient

Parkinson’s disease (PD) affects over six million people worldwide and is characterised by the progressive loss of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra, accumulation of pathological alpha-synuclein (αSyn), and inflammation in the brain. This leads to motor impairments including rigidity, akinesia, bradykinesia, resting tremor, and postural instability. Cell replacement therapy aims to

Thermal machines perform useful tasks, such as producing work, cooling, or heating by exchanging energy, and possibly additional conserved quantities such as particles, with reservoirs. Here we consider thermal machines that perform more than one useful task simultaneously, terming these hybrid thermal machines. We outline their restrictions imposed by the laws of thermodynamics and we quantify th

Inverse problems are important in quantum mechanics and involve such questions as finding which potential give a certain spectrum or which arrangement of atoms give certain properties to a molecule or solid. Inverse problems are typically very hard to solve and tend to be very compute intense. We here show that neural networks can easily solve inverse problems in quantum mechanics. It is known tha

Transmission of respiratory viruses is a complex process involving emission, deposition in the airways, and infection. Inhalation is often the most relevant transmission mode in indoor environments. For severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the risk of inhalation transmission is not yet fully understood. Here, we used an indoor aerosol model combined with a regional inhaled

The overall aim of this thesis work is to characterize artificial biomolecular motors, specifically the Lawnmower, a motor based on the burn bridges mechanism, and the Tumbleweed, a protein motor that employs ligand specific DNA-proteins binding to step along DNA. An overview of their operational principles is given, and initial results of our studies are presented, along with a review of currentl

Objectives: This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows:. To determine the effects of different regimens of systemic opioid analgesics in neonates (term or preterm) undergoing surgery, on mortality, pain and major neurodevelopmental disability. These different regimens may include: different doses of the same opioid; different routes of administration of

Core-shell nanoparticles have gathered much attention of the scientific community owing to their potential applications in various fields including biomedical imaging and catalysis. Predicting core-shell preference1-3 is, however, still largely based on a few experimental observations and limited theorical studies, and hence development of new core-shell nanoparticles is normally built on a trial-

This paper describes and discusses the development of mobile exergames for children with cerebral palsy. The design process was built on co-design, and resulted in three activity games, two augmented reality (AR) games and one GPS based game. The resulting activity games were evaluated by 8 per-sons with cerebral palsy (CP). To complement this evaluation, the games have been evaluated against exis
