Identity references in product design: An approach for inter-relating visual product experience and brand value representation.

This paper examines references of visual product identity in product design. The perception of identity is the result of a composite experience of the presentational and representational dimensions of the product. As consumers to a large degree create their value perceptions of products and brands based on the design of the product, it is important for companies to understand how perceptions of id

Evaluation of non-linear combinations of rescaled reassigned spectrograms

The reassignment technique is used to increase the localization for signals that have closely located time-frequency components. For Gaussian components the reassignment based on an optimal (matched) window spectrogram will result in a single point where all mass is located. For non-optimal windows, the reassignment procedure can be optimally rescaled to fulfill the single point mass location. Non

Alarm reduction in industrial process control

The proper handling of alarms is crucial to automated process control. In practice, many alarms are only distractive and do not represent a fault situation. Here, a toolbox is proposed that aims to reduce the occurrence of the so called nuisance alarms. It is a general computerized tool that takes advantage of the control system's built-in functions, and is a first step to an enhanced overall alar

Studies in Educational Attainment and Returns to Education

This licentiate thesis consists of two separate studies on educational attainment and returns to education. The first paper, “Ethnic Segregation and Educational Attainment in Sweden”, studies whether youths brought up in ethnically segregated neighbourhoods differ in educational attainment from youths brought up in more affluent neighbourhoods, after controlling for family characteristics. The eth

Effects of sediment storage conditions on pigment analyses

Sediment pigments as an indicator of water column and benthic processes have become widely used during the last decades. However, the effect of different storage and handling conditions on the accuracy of sediment pigment analyses has not been adequately evaluated. This can potentially make comparisons between studies difficult and, at worst, call into question the validity of some studies. Even t

Recognizing phrase and utterance as prosodic units in non-tonal dialects of Kammu

This paper presents a study of prosodic phras-ing in a non-tonal dialect of Kammu, a Mon-Khmer language spoken in Northern Laos. Prosodic phrasing is seen as correlated with syntactic and informational structures, and the description is made referring to these two lev-els. The material investigated comprises sen-tences of different lengths and syntactic struc-tures, uttered by seven male speakers.

A multivariate genetic analysis of specific phobia, separation anxiety and social phobia in early childhood

Background: Comorbidity amongst anxiety disorders is very common in children as in adults and leads to considerable distress and impairment, yet is poorly understood. Multivariate genetic analyses can shed light on the origins of this comorbidity by revealing whether genetic or environmental risks for one disorder also influence another. We examined the genetic and environmental influences on the

Intellectual Property, Taxation and State Aid law

This contribution on Intellectual Property, Taxation and State Aid Law investigates whether some tax incentives for Research and Development—and Innovation (R&D or R&D&I) adopted by EU Member States are in line with the legal framework of State Aid rules in the context of the EU policy objectives and of article 179 TFEU. The main issue is to know whether output tax incentives such as P

High resolution water and energy balance modeling by land information system (LIS) in Hexi region

In arid and semi-arid areas, hydrosphere and biosphere suffer maximal disturbance and impacts of mankind during the development and utilizing processes. These impacts interact with each other and exert hostile effect on the environment. The transformation of the ecological environment depends mainly on the exploitation of water resource, economic development and the relative balance of environment
