Motivational Internalism

Motivational internalism - the idea that there is an intrinsic or necessary connection between moral judgment and moral motivation - is a central thesis in a number of metaethical debates. In conjunction with a Humean picture of motivation, it provides a challenge for cognitivist theories that take moral judgments to concern objective aspects of reality. Versions of internalism have potential impl

Knowledge-light Letter-to-Sound Conversion for Swedish with FST and TBL

This paper describes some exploratory attempts to apply a combination of finite state transducers (FST) and transformation-based learning (TBL, Brill 1992) to the problem of letter-to-sound (LTS) conversion for Swedish. Following Bouma (2000) for Dutch, we employ FST for segmentation of the textual input into groups of letters and a first transcription stage; we feed the output of this step into a

Tonal gestures in Mongolian interrogatives.

The article summarizes a study of tonal courses in Mongolian yes-no and question word interrogatives. The investigation concerns local characteristics of utterances, namely focal and boundary signaling gestures. A phonological analysis of the gestures is proposed based on the acoustic data.

Diagnostic PCR for the Detection of Yersinia enterocolitica and Salmonella in the Food-Chain: Reliability of PCR Performance

This thesis deals with the methodological advances of diagnostic PCR including reliability of PCR and pre-PCR processing of food and feed samples. Diagnostic PCR has been greatly improved by the introduction of the second generation of PCR, so-called real-time PCR. Automated closed-tube quantitative real-time PCR favours the analysis of food-borne pathogenic bacteria. However, in common with conve

Engineering of thermometric biosensors and characterisation of redox enzymes for improved performance of biosensors/biofuel cells

The present work is mainly focused on the development of enzyme-based bioanalytical devices, which can further be applied as analytical tools for industrial, medical and environmental applications. The first part of the work deals with the practical applications of thermometric biosensors for determination of various sugars (fructose and lactose) in a real samples. Thermometric biosensors possess

MCV and shear strength of compacted fine-grained tills

Compaction and shear strength tests have been performed on different compacted fine-grained tills. The results show that the water sensitivity of the soil is not only dependent on particle size but also on the soil's chemical composition. Comparisons between modified Proctor and the moisture condition value (MCV) show similarities between the optimum moisture content despite the differences in com
