Context: Duplicate detection is a fundamental part of issue management. Systems able to predict whether a new defect report will be closed as a duplicate, may decrease costs by limiting rework and collecting related pieces of information. Goal: Our work explores using Apache Lucene for large-scale duplicate detection based on textual content. Also, we evaluate the previous claim that results are i

Ultra-wideband (UWB) communication is a potential technique for future high-speed networks. In this paper, we investigate low complexity signal detection approaches for OFDM based UWB systems. In particular, we develop practical approaches for channel estimation and interference suppression. Computer simulation results show that these techniques can be effectively used in OFDM based UWB systems fo

The purpose of this paper is to give a description of the communicativity in a foreign language classroom and also of students’ communicative behaviour. Since the beginning of the 80s communication has been widely discussed as one of the main features in instructed language learning. The focus on form, that traditionally has been dominant in the language classroom, was combined or even replaced by

Tisdagens upplopp i Göteborg var en reaktion på en storskalig uthängning av oskyldiga ungdomar. Jag är ingen vän av pöbelvälde – men kan ändå se flera positiva spår i vad som hänt. Gårdagens händelser visar att det finns en allt större benägenhet att inte acceptera smutskastning på nätet. Utsatta ungdomar behöver stöd, inte moralkakor.

In this paper, we incorporate the layered structure with low-density parity-check codes (LDPC) to develop a quasi-block diagonal LDPC space-time structure. The lower triangular structure of the parity check matrix introduces correlation between layers. In addition, each layer, as a part of the whole codeword, can be decoded while taking information from other undetected layers to improve the decod

This paper seeks to explain the persistence of inner-city deprivation in spite of sustained regeneration efforts, through demonstrating how urban regeneration policies are embedded in peculiar political-institutional power dynamics that actually contribute to the further disempowerment of the already disempowered groups in inner cities. The reconstruction of the post-war planning history of one sp

In this paper we present results from a outdoorto-indoor MIMO measurement campaign where we study the effect of repeaters on singular values, spatial richness, capacity,and delay spread distributions. We present results from different repeater scenarios such as, e.g. different outdoor/indoor repeater deployments with ngle/dual polarized antennas. The measurements show that repeaters significantly

Our present understanding of the terminating bands in the I=40-50 spin range of 157,158Er is reviewed briefly. It is only recently that it has been possible to study states at higher spin in these nuclei, beyond band termination. Firstly, a large number of weak high-energy transitions feeding the terminating states were observed. Secondly, some collective structures that extended discrete spect
