Impersonal null-subjects in Icelandic and elsewhere

We study the properties of impersonal null-subjects, in particular in Icelandic, exploring the idea that such elements are constructed in syntax (rather than being lexical pronouns deleted in PF). In addition, we discuss the cross-linguistic distribution of impersonal null-subjects.

Finlandssvenskar i jämförelse; Bakgrundsfaktorer till skillnaderna i mord- och dråpsstatistiken

Bakgrund; Enligt brottsstatistiken i Finland begår finlandssvenskar färre brottshandlingar. Till exempel begår mindre andel finlandssvenskar brott mot liv än vad finnar gör. Detta fenomen är inte utforskat i landet och därmed förekommer det inga teorier varför finlandssvenskar, enligt brottsstatistiken, är en mindre våldsam minoritet i Finland Syfte; Ställa upp sociologiska teorier och hypoteser

Polymer Gels and their Interactions with Ionic Surfactants

The response on chemically crosslinked gels and polymer solutions on the addition of ionic surfactants and/or addition of salt at different temperatures have been studied. All polymers studied are water soluble and slightly hydrophobic or hydrophobically modified. Because of their hydrophobicity the polymers have a strong tendency to associate, both with themselves and with surfactants. Another i

Remote Sensing of Forest Decline in the Czech Republic

This thesis describes the localisation and quantification of deforestation and forest damage in Norway spruce forests in northern Czech Republic using Landsat data. Severe defoliation increases the spectral reflectance in all wavelength bands, especially in the mid infrared region. These spectral differences allow the separation of three damage categories with an accuracy of 75% using TM data and

Att se och tänka med ritual: kontrakterande ritualer i de isländska släktsagorna

To make it possible to classify an action as a ritual act we need to know exactly what constitutes it. In this thesis I try, with the aid from literature of the field called ritual studies and the sagas of Icelanders, to sort out what these constituent elements best should consist of if we want to use the term ritual as an analytical tool in the production of knowledge with scientific criteria. Ri

Stabilization of Vehicle Formations-A Case Study

This work treats a specific multi-vehicle control case, namely six vehicles on the Multi-Vehicle Wireless Testbed (MTWT), wich is an arena at Caltech, California, built for doing experiments on small vehicles. A model is set up and a controller is found through simulations that stabilizes the system. Stability is proven through a Nyquist-like criterion.
