This paper pinpoints some of the problems faced when a computer text production model (COMMENTATOR) is to produce spontaneous speech, in particular the problem of chunking the utterances in order to get natural prosodic units. The paper proposes a buffer model which allows the accumulation and delay of phonetic material until a chunk of the desired size has been built up. Several phonetic studies
This guide presents a joint effort of projects funded under the European Research Area for Climate Services (ERA4CS) (http://www.jpi-climate.eu/ERA4CS), a co- funded action initiated by JPI Climate with co-funding by the European Union (Grant 690462), 15 national public Research Funding Organisations (RFOs), and 30 Research Performing Organisations (RPOs) from 18 European countries.

Arctic cyclones, as a prevalent feature in the coupled dynamics of the Arctic climate system, have large impacts on the atmospheric transport of heat and moisture and deformation and drifting of sea ice. Previous studies based on historical and future simulations with climate models suggest that Arctic cyclogenesis is affected by the Arctic amplification of global warming, for instance, a growing

Detta är slutrapporten för forskningsprojektet DATA/TRUST: Tillitsbaserad personuppgiftshantering i den digitala ekonomin som letts av Stefan Larsson, lektor och docent vid institutionen för teknik och samhälle, LTH, Lunds universitet.Projektets syfte har varit att bättre förstå vilka utmaningar och vilka möjligheter handeln står inför när det gäller insamling och användning av individers data uti
Till skillnad från den nazistiska eugeniken alstras den genteknologiska av marknadskrafterna. Mot efterfrågan på eliminering av t ex sjukdomsgener svarar transnationella företags privatisering av det mänskliga genetiska arvet via patentering av livsformer. Det är hög tid att analysera de omvälvande sociala och politiska följderna av denna bio-ekonomiska utveckling.
This study considers detection of polyproline type II secondary structures from protein sequences. This difficult problem was handled with multilayer perceptron neural networks, which were found to be useful for such bioinformatics studies. Polyproline II secondary structures have not previously been tried to be predicted from sequences.
Disturbances in glucose metabolism are of importance for violent behaviour in men, but studies in women are lacking. We used the 5h-oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in this study of 17 female psychiatric patients, selected for violent behaviour directed against themselves (deliberate self-harm) and 17 healthy controls matched for age and BMI. Following OGTT, patients had higher glucose levels at
A Cochrane metaanalysis and a study performed on children have recently confirmed that therapeutic hypothermia does not improve outcome after severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). TBI is not comparable to a short episode of global ischemia, where therapeutic hypothermia has been shown to improve outcome. The difference may be explained by the fact that hypothermia-induced stress after a traumatic b
Bröstcancer är den vanligaste cancerformen hos kvinnor i Sverige. Tio procent av den kvinnliga befolkningen får bröstcancer under sin livstid. En minoritet avlider. Operation är den vanligaste behandlingen som oftast kombineras med strålbehandling. Det är mindre känt att vissa sidoeffekter av behandlingen kan ge bestående fysisk påverkan. Sådana bieffekter är armlymfödem samt nedsatt axelrörlighet
