An investigation of the fundamental frequency in Swedish feedback words is presented. It is hypothesised that the F0-pattern differs between words signalling positive and negative feedback-i.e. agreement and disagreement with the utterance of the preceding speaker. When imitating the contrast, the negative feedback word nej 'no' is often produced with a falling F0, stretching over a larger range,

DescriptionHeat Transfer in Aerospace Applications is the first book to provide an overall description of various heat transfer issues of relevance for aerospace applications. The book contains chapters relating to convection cooling, heat pipes, ablation, heat transfer at high velocity, low pressure and microgravity, aircraft heat exchangers, fuel cells, and cryogenic cooling systems.Chapters spe

Trots att nordisk rätt i stor utsträckning präglas av en funktionalistiskt inställning så skiljer sig uppfattningen om hur frågeställningar inom den dynamiska sakrätten ska lösas länderna emellan. I artikeln åskådliggörs hur det svenska förhållningssättet präglas av lagstadgade regler, medan det i Danmark finns en mjukare och tämligen pragmatiskt attityd med utrymme för mer nyanserade lösningar. F

Using high-resolution synchrotron-radiation-based electron spectroscopy, vibrationally resolved C1s and S2p photoelectron spectra were obtained for the thiophene molecule in the gas phase. The vibrational structures were analyzed in terms of normal modes, and lifetimes were determined for the hole states. This complete analysis enabled to determine the binding energies of the chemically shifted ca

This article concerns small state security from a cognitive perspective and investigates Estonia as a security actor as perceived by all littoral Baltic Sea states. Drawing on unique elite survey and interview data, the article unpacks similarities and differences among internal (Estonian) and external perceptions of security, threats, and capabilities. The investigation is theoretically informed

This article discusses some of the opportunities and challenges that the Estonian Council Presidency is facing during its first term in 2017. We also explore how Estonia is likely to appreach this position. The Council presidency provides a position to propagate national interests and an opportunity for leadership within the Council but can also be preceived as a silencer of domestic narrative. We

OBJECTIVE: To test a simplified blood pressure device called Rastreometro that could be used by the Health Agents.METHODS: The Rastreometro has been developed from an ordinary aneroid sphygmomanometer, in which the numeric display is covered by an adhesive with a red zone, indicating pressures equal or above 140 mmHg and a yellow zone indicating pressures below 140 mmHg. The onset of oscillations
