Construction companies apply different logics to create value. Some companies are organized according to one primary logic, while others are based on multiple logics. Different value creating logics have different cost and value drivers according to the type of activities involved and the interdependencies between them. Where multiple logics coexist, the different cost and value drivers may genera

Abstract in UndeterminedPackaging as a component in the supply chain impacts efficiency and effectiveness. In the interaction between packaging systems and the supply chain, actors place various needs on packaging. These can be related to infrastructure or product characteristics, business settings or operations. They also depend on the supply chain context, the distribution conditions, the produc

We present a method for producing FrameNet-annotated text for non-English text. The method uses sentence-aligned corpora and transfers target words and frame elements using a word aligner. The system was tested on an English-Spanish parallel corpus. On the task of target word projection, the system had a precision of 69% and a recall of 59%. For sentences with non-empty targets, it had a precision

Successful expert systems have usually been built on fairly well established technological or medical knowledge [1],[2]. In the present article we report results from a project where interest instead is directed at knowledge connected with human behaviour

During the long history of Class AB amplifiers, many topology improvements have been developed with the aim of reducing open-loop THD. As Class D amplifiers become widely used, a new learning of such improvements is needed, since the basic distortion mechanisms are very different from those of Class AB amplifiers. This is even more important with Class D designs because the very high feedback loop

Det här föredraget argumenterar att noggrant utformade översättningsövningar kan ha en speciell (men dock begränsad) plats i språkundervisningen, i alla fall på de högre nivåerna på gymnasiet och på universitetsnivå. Förutsättningen är att studenter och lärare delar samma modersmål eller att åtminstone alla i klassrummet har god kunskap i det som är de flesta studenters modersmål. Föredraget baser

Abstract in UndeterminedThe aim of the PhD project is to understand and learn about the characteristics that influence old adults’ acceptance of assistive robots and of robots as social companions. It is also to explore participatory design methods in order to involve old adults in the design process of new technologies. The goal is to apply/implement the results in two robotics systems developed
