Twelve children with mild/moderate hearing impairment (HI) and 12 children with specific language impairment (SLI), 5 - 9 years old, were assessed in order to compare novel word learning and to study cognitive and linguistic predictors for word learning. There was no significant difference on novel word learning between the groups. The strongest predictor for novel word learning was a lexical meas

A family of active distances for convolutional codes is introduced. Lower bounds are derived for the ensemble of periodically time-varying convolutional codes.

It is common to embed instruments when developing integrated circuits (ICs). These instruments are accessed at post-silicon validation, debugging, wafer sort, package test, burn-in, printed circuit board bring-up, printed circuit board assembly manufacturing test, power-on self-test, and operator-driven in-field test. At any of these scenarios, it is of interest to access some but not all of the i

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling behandlar ämnet känselåterkoppling i handproteser. Att mista sin hand är en traumatisk upplevelse och den som har mist sin hand förlorar både känsel och motorik. En rudimentär greppfunktion kan återskapas genom att använda en handprotes. Nya och avancerade proteser som kontrolleras med hjälp av muskelsignaler finns numera på marknaden och dessa myoelektAmputation of the hand implies the loss of the ability to grasp and the ability to "feel". The grasping function can be primitively restored using an active prosthesis. Multi­articulating electrically powered hands have recently made their way to the market and these hands provide enhanced grasping and gripping capabilities. However, these hands provide no direct and conscious sensory feedback to

Legacy streamer data and newer 3D ocean-bottom-cable data are cross-matched and analysed for time-lapse analysis of geomechanical changes due to production in the Valhall Field. The issues relating to time-lapse analysis using two such distinctly different data sets are addressed to provide an optimal cross-matching workflow that includes 3D warping. Additionally an assessment of the differences b

The aim of the thesis is to develop a model, based on well known physical and empirical formulas, to simulate the heat load on a rink of artificially frozen ice. A comparison of the results from this model and the results from other methods to determine heat load of the rink is made. The model calculates the heat load from convection, long wave radiation from the air temperature and from the sky t
