A very large majority of the current product development process models put forward in textbooks present a homogenous structure, what Ulrich & Eppinger [1] call the market-pull model, presented as a generic one, while other possible product development process models are merely seen as variants. This paper focuses on the task clarification and derived activities (mainly the systematic search f

We present a PropBank semantic role labeling system for English that is integrated with a dependency parser. To tackle the problem of joint syntactic-semantic analysis, the system relies on a syntactic and a semantic subcomponent. The syntactic model is a projective parser using pseudo-projective transformations, and the semantic model uses global inference mechanisms on top of a pipeline of class

ENASTÅENDE är en personlig, men också mycket privat, berättelse om livet med högfungerande autism eller Aspergers syndrom. Boken beskriver hur livet kan bli för den som tvingas att leva mer än femtio år utan adekvat diagnos och diagnosadekvat behandling. Enastående vänder sig till människor som vill förstå mer av hur autism präglar en människas tänkande och varande genom hela livet. Förhoppningsvi

BACKGROUND: Viruses that are incorporating host cell proteins might trigger autoimmune diseases. It is therefore of interest to identify possible host proteins associated with viruses, especially for enveloped viruses that have been suggested to play a role in autoimmune diseases, like human herpesvirus 6A (HHV-6A) in multiple sclerosis (MS). RESULTS: We have established a method for rapid and mor

Transformationer rymmer tjugosex texter från ett symposium kring översättning – i bred mening – som ägde rum i Lund sommaren 2010. Förvandlingarna mellan språk, genrer, konstarter, medier och kulturer äger rum hela tiden. Det är ett perspektiv som är självklart för skandinavister. Vi läser litteratur som är översatt, vi sysslar med förståelse och tolkning, vi diskuterar betydelser från och mellan

We report on a theoretical study of the quantum interference behaviour of electron flow from a double-slit device made from a semiconductor two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) system with the slit widths in the quantum conductance regime. The device consists of a double slit and a single slit in a configuration where the single slit is placed on the source side of the double slit. The wavefunction

Popular Abstract in Swedish Under de senaste decennierna har det blivit allt mer uppenbart att det på grund av luftföroreningar skett en försurning av skogsjordarna i södra Sverige. Kalkning har föreslagits som en åtgärd för att motverka ytterligare försurning och bibehålla produktiviteten hos skogarna i de värst drabbade områdena. Inför ett sådant stort ingrepp i naturen är det viktigt att studerIn this thesis effects of liming on ectomycorrhiza have been studied in relation to effects on root colonization, fungal growth and nutrient uptake. In field experiments the effects of liming on ectomycorrhizal colonization of root tips were variable, possibly due to different soil types and climatic variations. However, a changed mycorrhizal community structure could be detected. Laboratory studi

Carotenoids play a number of roles in living organisms. In addition to their well-know light-harvesting function in photosynthesis, they have also photoprotective and antioxidative functions in various physiological systems. Studies of dynamics of carotenoid excited states have established the following scheme: after excitation of a carotenoid to its S2 state (1Bu+), a fast relaxation to the Si st

To fulfill increasing requirements within the manufacturing sector, highly flexible and adaptable automation systems are needed. It is desirable to have one integrated approach that stretches from the process planning phase, through the implementation phase and all the way to the phase for execution of the process control logics. One promising approach is to use the concepts of service-oriented ar

The topic of this thesis is the electro-mechanical oscillations which to some extent always are present in a power system. The demand of electric power is ever increasing. At the same time, the tolerance of disruptions in the power supply is decreasing. The deregulated market together with distributed generation have then pushed the system to operate during circumstances for which it was not desig

In this thesis aspects of peripheral B lymphocyte differentiation were studied. Through in vitro experiments, B lymphocyte activation was assessed. B lymphocytes express immunoglobulin (Ig) specific for a certain antigen on the cell surface, and when surface Ig is crosslinked by an antigen, the cell is activated. Antigens giving rise to a T cell dependent immune response are internalized by the B
