This book provides a number of studies of different aspects of Swedish child language. Some of the thematic chapters present original, unpublished data: on the acquisition of tense, on the range and frequency of different word order patterns in early child Swedish, related to the input, meaning the language of adults talking to the children or in the presence of the children. The remaining chapter

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling behandlar tillväxt av och elektriska mätningar på halvledande nanotrådar av indiumarsenid (InAs) och kombinationer av InAs och indiumfosfid (InP). En nanotråd är som namnet antyder en tunn solid tråd, som påminner om ett hårstrå fast med en diameter på typiskt 50 nm (en nanometer är en miljarddels meter, 10^-9 m) och längden kan vara allt från 100 nm upIn this thesis, semiconductor nanowires are studied from the point of view of growth and electrical properties. The growth of nanowires is done by chemical beam epitaxy (CBE), an ultra-high vacuum technique allowing a precise control of precursor deposition and low growth rates. In conventional epitaxy, growth is usually two or three- dimensional, depending on growth conditions and material combin

This dissertation addresses the need for easier construction and extension of language tools. Specifically, the construction and extension of so-called semantic editors is considered, that is, editors providing semantic services for code comprehension and manipulation. Editors like these are typically found in state-of-the-art development environments, where they have been developed by hand. The

The total core loss in a claw-pole structure has been calculated on the basis of the variation of the magnetic loading over the magnetization cycle in different parts of the machine. This variation has been estimated from a lumped parameter permeance network and 3D finite element simulations, studying the flux density waveform and loci in their elements. The results from the simulations are compar

Nonlinear axisymmetric finite element analyses are performed on the uniaxial compressive test of concrete cylinders. The models include thick steel loading plates, and cylinders with height-to-diameter ratios (h/d) ranging from 1–3 are treated. A simple constitutive model of the concrete is employed, which accounts for the strain hardening and softening in the pre- and postfailure regions, respect

Interest in learning in mature adulthood has become increasingly important as attention has been focused on what is seen to be an impending crisis in the near future, i.e., shortage of labour due to the ever-growing number of elderly and decreasing nativity rates. In some circles "alarmist demographics" have overshadowed an arguably more important concern, that of providing for aging individuals'
