This paper investigates the treatment of antonymy in Collins COBUILD Advanced Learner’s English Dictionary (2003) in order to find out what kinds of headwords are provided with antonyms as part of their definitions and also discusses the principles for antonym inclusion in the entries. CCALED includes canonical antonyms such as good/bad and dead/alive, as well as more contextually restricted pairi

A device monitors a blood path from a blood vessel access of a human subject through an extracorporeal blood processing apparatus and back to the blood vessel access. A pumping device in the blood path is operable to pump blood through the blood path from the blood withdrawal device to the blood return device. The monitoring device obtains pressure data from a pressure sensor arranged upstream of

A major disadvantage of feedforward neural networks is still the difficulty to gain insight into their internal functionality. This is much less the case for, e.g., nets that are trained unsupervised, such as Kohonen’s self-organizing feature maps (SOMs). These offer a direct view into the stored knowledge, as their internal knowledge is stored in the same format as the input data that was used fo

Theory for Distributed Model Predictive Control (DMPC) is developed based on dual decomposition of the convex optimization problem that is solved in each time sample. The process to be controlled is an interconnection of several subsystems, where each subsystem corresponds to a node in a graph. We present a stopping criterion for the DMPC scheme that can be locally verified by each node and that g

Transient electromagnetic wave propagation in a dispersive medium is reviewed. The medium is assumed to be 1) linear, 2) invariant to time translations, 3) causal, 4) continuous, and 5) isotropic. The constitutive relations are then uniquelyrepresen ted bya Riemann-Stieltjes integral in the time variable. The kernel in this convolution is the susceptibilityk ernel. Two explicit examples of mathema

Upper bounds on the slope of the active distances for convolutional codes are given. Convolutional codes with large slopes are used to obtain tables of new tailbiting block codes.

We employ a non-parametrical approach to growth accounting (Data Envelopment Analysis, DEA) to disentangle the proximate sources of labour productivity growth in 41 nations between 1929 and 1950 by decomposing productivity growth into four components: technological change; efficiency catch-up (movements towards the production frontier), capital accumulation and human capital accumulation. We show

Popular Abstract in English Popular science Microbial cells are small and difficult to handle in industrial processes, especially if they are to be reused subsequent batches. In order to make them easier to handle, these cells can be attached to a solid support, by so-called immobilization. This provides particles of sizes that are easy to filter and reuse. However, immobilization is associated wiAbstract Due to the finite nature of fossil resources and their environmental impact, such as greenhouse gases and climate change, the bio-based production of chemicals, materials and fuels is the subject of extensive research in industrial biotechnology. Biotransformation and fermentation are considered to be mild, “green” processes that make use of effective and reliable biocatalysts to provide

The Forward Wall Detector (FWD) is designed to identify projectile-like fragments from heavy-ion reactions at the CELSIUS storage ring in Uppsala, Sweden. FWD covers the polar angle from 3.9° to 11.7° with geometrical efficiency of 81%. The single-detection module can be either of phoswich type (10 mm fast plastic+80 mm CsI(Tl)) or ΔE−E telescope (750 μm Si+80 mm CsI(Tl)). It is expected to have c
