This paper describes some exploratory attempts to apply a combination of finite state transducers (FST) and transformation-based learning (TBL, Brill 1992) to the problem of letter-to-sound (LTS) conversion for Swedish. Following Bouma (2000) for Dutch, we employ FST for segmentation of the textual input into groups of letters and a first transcription stage; we feed the output of this step into a

En analys av Lars Noréns mycket kontroversiella iscensättning "Sju tre" med fokus på värde och förhållandet mellan verk och verklighet.

"Protestantism" started to be used as a diversified concept of reform within churches pluralised in geography, limited to a certain territory, and often with a certain regional tradition. Theology played a main part in the Evangelical churches in Germany, moving the individuals. "The Kingdom of God" was used as a pious project by different revivalists and theologians of different colours.

Kapitlet ger en sammanfattande bild av etableringsvillkoren för ungdomar (16-19 år) och unga vuxna (20-24 år) samt deras utanförskap i Sverige från början av 1990-talet fram till idag. Kapitlet omfattar tre avsnitt. I det första avsnittet ges en bakgrundsteckning om ungdomars etablering på den svenska arbetsmarknaden. Översikten sammanfattar forskningsresultat om arbetsmarknad, utbildning och förs

Finns det ett enkelt sätt att analysera intervjuer, observationer och dokument? Svaret är nej. Analysarbete är notoriskt mångbottnat och det finns sannerligen mer än ett sätt. Men den här boken visar hur arbetet kan bli smidigare. Författarna hävdar att all analys innefattar tre handlingar: sortera, reducera och argumentera. Om forskaren eller studenten lyckas dela upp och iordningställa materiale

This paper is part of an ongoing research on the trajectory of rhetoric of political reforms in Bahrain during the past 10-years of reign by king Hamad bin Isa. Within less than two years of his reign, the king abandoned his wide ranging blueprints for political and institutional reforms designed to end to a decade-long civil unrest. I argue that the king continues to use, albeit more creatively,

It is important that the costs and effort in making a Virtual Reality (VR) model support its purpose in the specific context in which it is used. The present research aims to clarify which properties in VR-models contribute to improved experience of aspects of the model that are relevant in the use context and which therefore improve the models’ usability in the social processes of which they are

Summary form only given. The advanced resource connector (ARC), or the NorduGrid middleware, is an open source software solution enabling production quality computational and data grids. Since the first release (May 2002), the middleware is deployed and being used in production environments. Emphasis is put on scalability, stability, reliability and performance of the middleware. A growing number

This thesis concerns the prediction of the fluid mechanical conditions in some specific large vessels in the human body. Large vessels are special in the way that the Reynolds number is relatively high and in the case of arteries the flow is pulsatile. The aim is to contribute to the knowledge of flow patterns in large vessels, and ways to predict and measure fluid mechanical parameters such as sh
