This paper describes the work with F0 and segment duration when developing a prototype system for analysis of speaker age using data-driven formant synthesis. The system was developed to extract 23 parameters from the test words—spoken by four differently aged female speakers of the same dialect and family — and to generate synthetic copies. Audio-visual feedback enabled the user to compare the na

Andelen av de polisanmälda hatbrotten med antiromska motiv som personuppklarats var 2 procent år 2012 och 3 procent år 2013. Denna rapport syftar till en analys över faktorer som ligger bakom att antiziganistiska hatbrott inte uppklaras i högre utsträckning än vad som sker utan istället i stor omfattning läggs ned. Studien ska mot denna bakgrund också ge förslag på åtgärder hur tillgången till rät

Sweden has experienced an increase in the number of individuals on long-term sick leave between 1997 and 2004. This occured along side changes in the social insurance system and led to an increase in the number of individuals permanently excluded from working life. Rehabilitation and activation measures which should have helped people back to work have instead increased the length of sick leave as

Colour is disregarded in the analysis of the grammar of a building façade. Contemporary architecture, as well as traditional historical architecture, is built on a relation between colours. Colour schemes of vernacular architecture is a part of the local regional heritage.A re-established exterior colour scheme in rural areas would strengthen the local identity. In Sweden the dominating part of ve

A communication system with woven convolutional codes and OFDM is considered. With coherent reception and iterative decoding this combination seems promising over frequency selective channels. The robustness of the considered class of schemes is illustrated by simulation results for specific fixed channel transfer functions and AWGN

Starch and cellulose can be chemically modified to produce derivatives with specific properties. Knowledge of correlations between the modification reaction, substituent distribution and properties is important in order to design modification processes so as to produce derivatives with the desired properties. This thesis describes research on analytical methods for the determination of the distri
