Lexical Form-Class Effects in Foreign Language Learning: A Study of the English Produced by Advanced Swedish Learners

This dissertation examines the effects of the three major lexical form-classes in English (nouns, lexical verbs, and adjectives) on lexical infelicity in the English of adult advanced Swedish learners. By lexical infelicity is meant deviations from the native English norm in meaning only. Morphological form is not taken into account. It has previously been established that there are some clear, di

Battery Chargers for Electric Vehicles - A Project Description

A battery charger for electric vehicles is to be designed. The charger should have advantageous impact on the utility grid, for example filtering capabilities, reactive power compensation, etc. several battery chargers forms a network where communication between the chargers and the vehicles and some distribution level master controller is an important issue. A possible battery charger topology is

The Tie that Binds: Cosmopolitan Obligation and the Primacy of Institutions

I identify what I see as three aspects of contemorary cosmopolitan philosophy: A certain moral consciousness, a commitment to moral universalism, and an institutional implication of the first two. The third of these is often regarded as a fall-out or consequence of the other two. I argue instead that the institutional aspect should be regarded as primary and that a distinctive feature of cosmopoli

Bayesian Estimation of the Global Minimum Variance Portfolio

In this paper we consider the estimation of the weights of optimal portfolios from the Bayesian point of view under the assumption that the conditional distribution of the logarithmic returns is normal. Using the standard priors for the mean vector and the covariance matrix, we derive the posterior distributions for the weights of the global minimum variance portfolio. Moreover, we reparameterize

Protein interactions in signaling networks in Arabidopsis

Protein networks drive numerous crucial processes in cells. One important component in their coordination is protein-protein interactions. Mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling substrates and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteins in Arabidopsis were investigated with respect to their respective interactions. Novel MAPK substrates were screened for and tested for MAPK specific phosphoryla

Elemental Concentrations in Airborne Particles from Welding and Metal Spraying Operations

An accelerator-based arrangement in which facilities using particle-induced X-rays and gamma-rays and scattered particles are included constitutes a very powerful analytical set-up especially when combined with adequate sampling techniques. In this paper, the designs of two major work environment investigations are described. In one of the investigations (in which 3000 multielemental analyses were
