When solving elliptic boundary value problems using integral equation methods one may need to evaluate potentials represented by a convolution of discretized layer density sources against a kernel. Standard quadrature accelerated with a fast hierarchical method for potential field evaluation gives accurate results far away from the sources. Close to the sources this is not so. Cancellation and nea

A new approach to the problem of estimating parameter in material models is presented. The approach is based on a state space representation of the constitutive equations and one step predictions. The differences between one-step predictions and the corresponding measurements are used to design generic one-step prediction error estimators, and in particular, the maximum likelihood method is presen

GHRS observations of chemically peculiar stars have initiated a new project for calculating atomic properties of heavy elements (Z approximate to 80). The method used is based on large-scale, fully relativistic MCDF, and the data involve accurate gf-values, hyperfine structure parameters, and relative isotope shifts.

Reference attribute grammars (RAGs) is a powerful formalism for developing modular extensible compilers and program analysis tools. This paper presents JavaRAG, an implementation of RAGs as a Java library that is independent of the abstract syntax tree structure. This makes it possible to extend legacy compilers implemented in Java with RAG computations. We have evaluated the approach by integrati

We present an estimator of the general measure of correlation for bicompositional data for a sample from a bicompositional Dirichlet distribution. Two confidence intervals are also presented and we examine their empirical confidence coefficient using a Monte Carlo study. Finally we apply the estimator to a data set analysing the correlation between the 1967 and 1997 composition of the government G

Från bokens baksida: "Det spelar ingen roll om man varit en fattig teologistuderande på 1600-talet, en punschdoftande studentsångare på 1800-talet eller en ambitiös genusvetare på 2000-talet. Sedan 1668 har alla lundastudenter haft ett grundläggande behov gemensamt: någonstans att bo. Denna bok handlar om det lundensiska studentboendets historia. Från de äldsta tider då de flesta bodde hos sin pro

Popular Abstract in Swedish Giftaslystna guvernanter, profitinriktade pensionföreståndarinnor, flickskolelärarinnor som arbetar för rösträtt, småskollärarinnor som blir överfallna i ensliga skolor på landet, folkskollärarinnor som blir med barn och gymnasielärarinnor som älskar sina elever - i Fantastiska fröknar presenteras en rad olika kvinnoöden, alltifrån Emma Rönnqvist i Fredrika Bremers PresThis dissertation deals with women teachers in Swedish fiction by both male and female authors in the period from 1830 to 2003. It presents and discusses life narratives of individual fictional teachers in 127 texts. The study is organised chronologically and thematically and includes the historical and cultural framework. It should be seen as a contribution to the debate about the value of using

We describe a haplotype clustering approach for localising a disease mutation within a fixed genomic region, which supplements tagging SNP (tSNP) information with (external) information on linkage disequilibrium. By applying our method to simulated data based on the coalescent, and on real haplotype data, we demonstrate that there are situations where significant gains can be made by incorporating

Metaforer är inte bara vackra formuleringar som smyckar språket. De är även meningsskapande verktyg som styr vår förståelse av verkligheten runt omkring oss. Att analysera metaforer är därför en viktig del av en retorikanalys. Det hjälper oss att förstå ordens makt över tanken. I det här kapitlet introduceras några olika metaforteorier, några steg i en metaforanalys, ett par svenska metaforstudier

The interactions between uncharged polymers, e.g. ethyl(hydroxylethyl)cellulose (EHEC) and some model polymers, and ionic surfactants in aqueous solution has been studied by using isothermal titration and differential scanning calorimetry. We found that titration calorimetry could give quite detailed information about polymer - surfactant interactions. Values for the critical aggregation concentra

We describe a system for automatic annotation of English text in the FrameNet standard. In addition to the conventional annotation of frame elements and their semantic roles, we annotate additional semantic information such as support verbs and prepositions, aspectual markers, copular verbs, null arguments, and slot fillers. As far as we are aware, this is the first system that finds this informat
