This paper is devoted to a discussion of Catford's and Fischer-Jørgensen's defence of the classical vowel articulation model (1, 2, 3). Objections to the model are not directed at Bell's personality, but at the theoretical structure of his model: critical functions of the model are contradicted by empirical data and by acoustical theory. Nor are the ojections only relevant for amendments introduce

The purpose of this thesis is to identify patents invented by researchers at Lund University, to describe the university inventors,and to understand the main factors that influence their patenting activities. The analysis focuses on inventors in relation to their environment. A number of factors influence scientists’ decisions to patent. Internal factors related to individuals such as solving the

The main topic of this thesis is the investigation of atomic andmolecular adsorbates on single crystal surfaces of silicon and aluminiumusing the techniques of scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) andspectroscopy (STS). The emphasis has been to use atomic-resolutionspectroscopy and imaging to determine the relationship between thesurfaces' geometric and electronic structures. The STM results have

A number of protected aromatic bis- and tris(amino acids) have been synthesised by catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation of the corresponding didehydroamino acid derivatives. The didehydroamino acid derivatives were prepared either by a Heck coupling of a 2-amidoacrylate with an aryl dihalide, or by Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination of aromatic aldehydes with phosphonylglycine reagents. Excellent s

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bröstcancer är den vanligast förekommande cancerformen hos kvinnor. Under sin livstid kommer tio procent av den kvinnliga befolkningen att få bröstcancer men endast en minoritet kommer att avlida av den. Operation är den vanligaste behandlingen och kombineras oftast med strålbehandling. Armlymfödem samt nedsatt axelrörlighet och muskelstyrka är välkända sidoeffekter tilTen percent of the female population in Sweden will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime, but only a minority will die from the disease. Arm lymph oedema is a well-known complication following breast cancer treatment and the incidence varies between about 10% when axillary node dissection is performed and about 40% when axillary radiotherapy is added. The general aim of this thes

This report presents a quantified model as a guide for the Incident Commander to determine the most suitable fire-fighting tactics in advance for given conditions at specific objects. The model is applied to two chemical warehouses. The model proves that it is possible to introduce risk management procedures and fire safety engineering models into fire-fighting tactics. If the model and its differ

This textbook aims to provide a comprehensible introduction to Engineering Hydrology for environmental engineering students. The book comprises of 8 chapters which provide a holistic view of hydrology, seen as the water transport in nature with human influence, and deal with the main hydrological systems and processes. Each chapter ends with a few engineering examples together with a discussion of

Ämnet för artikeln är frågan hur vi kan skaffa oss kunskap om de regler eller normer som ligger bakom ett visst handlingsmönster. Frågan aktualiserades under våren 1998, då Håkan Hydén presenterade en normteoretisk modell för rättssociologerna vid Lunds universitet. Modellen är avsedd som ett analysredskap av normens strukturella, motivationella och kognitionella element. Analysen kan ta sin utgån

This book chapter discusses queer theory in relation to cultural studies as a reserch field and argues for a more including research.

In the last years, many vehicle manufacturers have introduced advancedriver support in some of their automobiles. One of those new featuresis Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), which extends the conventionalcruise control system to control of relative speed and distance toother vehicles. In order to design an ACC controller it is suitable tohave a model on drivers' behavior. Our approach to find dynam

This paper compares the fuzzy controllers trained with three different data-based methodologies for the control of the active knee joint of a powered transfemoral prosthesis. For each methodology a different inference system structure and number of generated rules was produced. The control is optimized using adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy optimization techniques and it is aimed to work at different speeds w
