Ionin, Ko and Wexler (2004a) have shown that L2 speakers of English whose L1’s lack articles (Russian and Korean) appear to fluctuate in their interpretation of the and a, allowing them to encode either definiteness or specificity. They argue that these are two options of an Article Choice Parameter offered by Universal Grammar, and that the Russian and Korean speakers fluctuate between them when
In this paper, we solve an inverse resonance problem for the half-solid with vanishing stresses on the surface: Lamb's problem. Using a semiclassical approach, we are able to simplify this three-dimensional problem of the elastic wave equation for the half-solid as a Schr\"odinger equation with Robin boundary conditions on the half-line. We obtain asymptotic values on the number and the location o
A search is performed for localized excesses in the low-mass dijet invariant mass distribution, targeting a hypothetical new particle decaying into two jets and produced in association with either a high transverse momentum photon or a jet. The search uses the full Run 2 data sample from LHC proton-proton collisions collected by the ATLAS experiment at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV during 2015
This is an undeniable fact now that wireless systems pervade all aspects of our lives. These systems are evolving at a rapid clip, connecting more people and devices every single day that goes by. This growth is further fueled by the users’ insatiable appetite for more traffic, be it for online gaming, watching high-fidelity video, downloading huge files, live- streaming and many more uses. With t
Pancreatic cancer is often detected at a late stage and usually leads to significant morbidity and deaths1. The 5-year survival rate for those with pancreatic cancer detected at a resectable stage is 25%, compared with a 5-year survival rate of 3% for those with pancreatic cancer that is not resectable2–4. Some 20% of patients have resectable disease at the time of diagnosis, underscoring the nece
A compact dual-element antenna suitable for ultrawideband (UWB) MIMO operation is proposed in this work. The size of the antenna is 25 mm by 40 mm and it covers the lower UWB band of 3.15-5.15 GHz. Apart from the inherent wideband isolation obtained through the different angle and polarization characteristics in the radiation patterns of the individual elements, the gap between the two antenna ele
Initializing a model written in Modelica translates to finding consistent initial values to the underlying DAE. Adding initial equations and conditions creates a system of non-linear equations that can be solved for the initial configuration. This paper reports an implementation of Newton's method to solve the non-linear initialization system. This implementation also uses a regularization method
The present paper reports on two different applications developed at ULUND. Both applications are designed to allow the user to interact with a haptic-auditory virtual environment. Common problems in both applications concern the design of tools for creat
Kundval för äldre och personer med funktionshinder diskuteras i de nor-diska länderna och i vissa fall har det också införts. Kundval i handikapp-omsorgen förekommer då personer med funktionshinder väljer sin per-sonliga assistent. I äldreomsorgen finns det system där den äldre efter ett biståndsbeslut kan få välja vem som ska utföra vissa insatser. Några svenska kommuner var pionjärer i början av
Time-domain fundamental solutions and Green dyadics for temporally dispersive, simple media are introduced. Second forerunner approximations to the electromagnetic fields from an electric point dipole in unbounded dispersive materials are obtained. Numerical results for two frequently used material models are presented. Moreover, surface integral representations of the electromagnetic fields in di
High-impedance surfaces are artificial surfaces synthesized from periodic structures. The high impedance is useful as it does not short circuit electric currents and reflects electric fields without phase shift. Here, a sum rule is presented that relates frequency intervals having high impedance with the thickness of the structure. The sum rule is used to derive physical bounds on the bandwidth fo
