West Greenlandic Inuit Eskimo intonation has been described previously at word, phrase, and sentence levels (Mase 1973, Rischel 1974, Nagano-Madsen 1992, 1993). The present study attempts to extend the previous descriptions of intonation in this language by analysing text reading material, with focus on the phrasing function of intonation. The phrasing function of intonation has received much atte

In recent times, the imminent lack of public IPv4 addresses has attracted the attention of both the research community and the industry.

Trelleborg fortresses - alternative interpretations: A presentation of a number of alternative interpretations of the so-called Trelleborg-fortresses in Denmark.

This thesis consists of five parts, each of which considers methods based on filter banks for different applications in signal and image processing. In Part I, a non-parametric estimation method is proposed using filter banks to estimate signals with varying waveforms and arrival times. This method, which provides a linear, robust estimate of the signal, is based on a series expansion by a set of
