This paper explores different syntactic variations and functional properties of clausal units that are initiated by the finite verb in Swedish. We focus on V1 constructions that are basically declarative in function, thus excluding interrogative, conditional and directive uses. Because V1 constructions, and particularly certain variants of them, are typical of spoken Swedish, our examples and
One of the most significant political changes over the past 25 years in Tamil Nadu, as elsewhere in India, is the implementation of a statutory status for a local elected government in accordance with the 73rd and 74th amendments to the Constitution passed by the Indian Parliament in 1993. The performance of the new system in Tamil Nadu is rather average and not very vibrant. Nevertheless, it has
A central problem in scene analysis is the reconstruction of 3D-objects from 2D-line drawings, obtained by projections. Two important classes of objects are polyhedral and origami ("papermade") ones, where the difference is that in the latter case the objects need not be solid, but may partly consist of laminas.
In recent decades, information technology has enjoyed an ever-increasing degree of influence upon society. The use of technology has proliferated, bleeding into all human activities, and now extends into the most private activities of individuals. Unfortunately the perpetrators of serious crimes have not missed the revolution. Technology has marked off many working terrains including that of serio
During the past decade, production of products has increasingly been relocated to countries outside the western industrialised area, while consumption of the same products in the west has increased to a considerable extent. Implementation of national policies for limiting the environmental and health impacts of production has encountered a number of difficulties as a result. Policy instruments, no
A divider-less all digital phase locked loop (ADPLL) with a high frequency resolution is implemented. All blocks excluding digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) and time to digital converter (TDC) are realized in standard digital design which consumes less power. The DCO core adopts an improved source-varactor LC resonant tank to achieve a 20KHz frequency resolution. With the help of an additional
