Modality and Subordinators

This book connects two linguistic phenomena, modality and subordinators, so that both are seen in a new light, each adding to the understanding of the other. It argues that general subordinators (or complementizers) denote propositional modality (otherwise expressed by moods such as the indicative-subjunctive and epistemic-evidential modal markers). The book explores the hypothesis both on a cross

Experimental Investigations of a Low Weber Liquid Spray in Air Cross Flow

A Low Weber water spray subjected to an air cross flow has been investigated. The spray is characterized by low liquid injection velocity, producing a column that is broken up by aerodynamic forces from the oncoming air.PIV and PDA have been used to quantify both the continuous and dispersed phases. Long range microscopy has been used to characterize the column breakup process. It has been shown t

Primary hemiarthroplasty in old patients with displaced femoral neck fracture: a 1-year follow-up of 103 patients aged 80 years or more

103 patients with displaced femoral neck fractures (Garden 3-4) treated with primary hemiarthroplasty in the Department of Orthopedics, Malmö University Hospital, Sweden 1998-1999 were followed in a prospective, consecutive study for 1 year. Inclusion criteria were age of at least 80 years, signs of mental changes and/or residence in an institution. The control group consisted of 69 patients with

Drivers of global land use change : are increasing demands for food and bioenergy offset by technological change and yield increase?

Globally, the food and energy demands of the growing global population are rising and require increased agricultural production. Additionally, climate change will have adverse effects on agricultural productivity. Technological change can contribute to closing yield gaps and reducing post-harvest losses, but needs to be facilitated through investments and education. Considering the multiple driver

Study of the vortex breakdown in a conical swirler using LDV, LES and POD

Modeling and understanding the vortex breakdown is a key issue of modern Lean Premixed Combustors. The main difficulty of the problem is the unsteady behavior of this type of flow: Large structures resulting from vortex breakdown and the swirling shear-layers, affect directly the flame stabilization leading to heat-release fluctuations and combustion instabilities. Consequently, one needs to captu

Decision support for test management and scope selection in a software product line context

In large software organizations with a product line development approach, system test planning and scope selection is a complex tasks for which tool support is needed. Due to repeated testing: across different testing levels, over time (test for regression) as well as of different variants, the risk of double testing is large as well as the risk of overlooking important tests, hidden by the huge a

A Biopsychosocial Approach to the Onset of Childhood Diabetes

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling är en del av en prospektiv, longitudinell studie, som avser att studera sambandet mellan psykosociala faktorer och debuten och förloppet av barndiabetes. Diabetes är en av de vanligaste kroniska sjukdomarna hos barn i Sverige och antalet insjuknade ökar. Tillsammans med Finland har Sverige en av de högsta förekomsterna av barndiabetes i världen. SjukdomThis thesis is a part of a prospective multi-centre study concerning psychosocial aspects of importance for the onset and course of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). The investigated population was all children with onset of IDDM in the participating clinics during 1988 and 1989. Of 79 diseased children, 67 participated in the study. To each child a healthy control child was chosen, 61 a

Holistic cybernetics - conceived as the result of a gradually lessened `detachment of the observer´

For help in explaining our theoretical understanding of nature, Pauli once suggested to Bohr a gradual lessening of the ‘detachment of the observer’, a notion of Bohr based on his concept of complementarity. Pauli expected further steps in this direction. We suggest further such steps - in line with an epistemological development towards revelation of presuppositions rather than asking for fundame

THEPEG, HERWIG++ and ARIADNE

I present the status of the ThePEG project for creating a common platform for implementing C++ event generators. I also describe briefly the status of the new versions of HERWIG++ and Ariadne which are implemented using this framework.

ID3-SD: an algorithm for learning characteristic decision trees by controlling the degree of generalization

Decision trees constructed by ID3-like algorithms suffer from an inability of detecting instances of categories not present in the set of training examples, i.e., they are discriminative representations. Instead, such instances are assigned to one of the classes actually present in the training set, resulting in undesired misclassifications. In this report, twomethods of reducing this problemby le
