Shadowing from other vehicles can degrade the performance of vehicle-to-vehicle communication systems significantly. It is thus important to characterize and model the influence of common shadowing objects like trucks in a proper way. However, the scenario of a truck as an obstacle in highly dynamic rural and highway environments is not yet well understood. In this paper we analyze the distance de
Articulatory data collected from nine speakers each of Gothenburg and Malmöhus Swedish were used in a Functional Data Analysis (FDA) to study tongue articulation dynamics, more specifically the height and frontness of the tongue body and tip in the palatal vowels /i ̆, y ̆, u̟ ̆/. Standard z-score transformations were used for speaker normalisation. Results showed that the tongue articulation for
In this paper, we discuss the role of robustness to geometric conformity versus specificity in machine learning. The key observation made here is that object variation due to appearance and due to geometric deformation are often, for good reasons, intermixed in typical object detection applications. In the paper, we consider a whole range of differently specific object detectors. It is shown that
Popular Abstract in Swedish Smärta är en varningssignal vid vävnadskada. En speciell grupp av receptorer i huden är känsliga för skadlig stimulering och kallas för nociceptorer. Signalerna från dessa ”smärtreceptorer” leds via två fibertyper till ryggmärgen. Beröringssignaler förmedlas via andra typer. I ryggmärgen bearbetas information och skickas vidare till reflexkretsar och hjärnan. Hjärnan i Recent studies indicate that experience dependent mechanisms shape the pain system during the development. In view of that painful stimuli are rare during development it is not clear how this is accomplished. In this thesis it is confirmed, using a battery of sensory deprivations in the rat, that the development of an essential component of the pain system, the nociceptive withdrawal reflexes (NWR
Plant breeding is largely depending on the repeated selection for desirable traits. This process is both time and labour consuming, making the development of commercial plant varieties a slow and costly activity. By the use of molecular markers, analysis of the genetic constitution of plants can be performed at an early stage, providing a possibility to decrease the time and cost required for sele
The stabilization characteristics and local extinction structures of partially premixed methane/air flames were studied using simultaneous OH-PLIF/PIV techniques, and large eddy simulations employing a two-scalar flamelet model. Partial premixing was made in a mixing chamber comprised of two concentric tubes, where the degree of partial premixing of fuel and air was controlled by varying the mixin
