This experimental study adapts a usage-based perspective on L2 acquisition (Bybee 2008; Ellis 2008) and focuses on the production of French subject-verb (SV) agreement in number (singular vs. plural). Previous studies show that the acquisition of this agreement is a long and gradual process in L2 French (Bartning & Schlyter 2004; Prévost 2009; Michot 2015). This study examines the influence of
Effects of droplet characteristics of mist/air cooling on heat transfer for three pin-fin structures are investigated. The round-tip pin-fin structure is newly proposed with partial detachment from one endwall with a round-shaped tip structure. A flat-tip pin-fin with partial detachment and a traditional pin-fin with full attachment serve as references. Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations an
Ethics, Science and Society: Challenges for BioPolitics is an international project of academic research, scientific dissemination, and social and political responsibility, sponsored by the Luso-American Development Foundation. Its main objective is to stress the importance of this triptych-style approach – ethics, science, society – to address some of the current and major challenges facing huma
There is a scarcity of information on mineral and phytate content in plant-based foods in Bolivia. This study aimed to analyze iron, zinc, calcium, and phytate content and estimate the mineral bioavailability of foods consumed in Chapare, Bolivia. Minerals and phytate were analyzed, and bioavailability was estimated in 17 food samples. Leafy vegetables and green legumes had the highest mineral con
It has become theoretical orthodoxy to point to and problematise a rise in surveillance. This article contributes to this debate. Following a still marginal yet budding number of studies that focus on the practical, quotidian level of surveillance systems, the article ethnographically examines the daily surveillance work of a number of Danish detectives. What is demonstrated is that whilst the Dan
Crystal phase defined heterostructures, or polytype heterostructures, are atomically sharp with no intermixing, which makes them ideal contenders for a wide number of applications. Although polytype quantum dots have shown promising results as single photon sources, a high degree of control on the dimensions and number of polytype quantum dots is necessary before any application can be developed.I
Landscapes play an important role in many areas of biology, in which biological lives are deeply entangled. Here we discuss a form of landscape in evolutionary biology which takes into account (1) initial growth rates, (2) mutation rates, (3) resource consumption by organisms, and (4) cyclic changes in the resources with time. The long-term equilibrium number of surviving organisms as a function o
Cardinality and rank functions are ideal ways of regularizing under-determined linear systems, but optimization of the resulting formulations is made difficult since both these penalties are non-convex and discontinuous. The most common remedy is to instead use the ℓ1- and nuclear norms. While these are convex and can therefore be reliably optimized, they suffer from a shrinking bias that degrades
This article addresses the claim made by the American journalistsFrederick Werbell and Thurston Clarke (in 1982) and the Swedishauthor and researcher Bengt Jangfeldt (in 2012) to the effect thatthe Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg, when preparing to leaveBudapest for Debrecen in January 1945, hid jewelry and 15–20 kgof gold in his car. As is evident from the examination conductedhere, the testimo
As more people move to cities and urban areas are growing, demand for urban transport increases. This leads not only to pressure on sustainability and climate goals, but also on the attractiveness and liveability of urban areas. Thus, it is necessary to decrease the use of private cars and create a modal shift towards more sustainable modes of transport, such as walking, cycling and public transpo
The aim of this thesis was to explore the perceptions of, prerequisites for and benefits of user involvement among older people, persons with functional impairments and other user groups important to the research area. By using an adapted conceptual tool to categorize the various user involvement studies comprising the thesis, the aim wasalso to reflect on the importance of study design for the ou
Stroke-induced neurogenesis originates from a neural stem cell (NSC) niche in subventricular zone (SVZ). In mice, NSCs are concentrated in a so-called "neurogenic spot" in the lateral angle area of SVZ. We aimed to identify the "neurogenic spot" in the rat SVZ and to characterize the cellular changes in the ependymal cell compartment in this area at different time points after middle cerebral arte
Short-duration extreme rainfall can cause severe impacts in built environments and flood mitigation measures require high-resolution rainfall data to be effective. It is a particular challenge to observe convective storms, which are expected to intensify with climate change. However, rainfall monitoring networks operated by national meteorological and hydrological services generally have limited a
Presented within the Urban Architecture Conference: In the Search of Urban Quality, Urban Form and Urban Life at Lund University (2018), this contribution forms part of a broader exploration into the relationship between architecture, urban design, and contemporary urban conditions.The presentation introduces a pedagogical and design-oriented framework for engaging with urban architecture, structu
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Det diskuteras idag mycket kring geografisk informationskvalitet och hur viktigt det är att känna till kvalitén på data. Eftersom det är vanligt att företag och myndigheter byter data med varandra är det extra viktigt att kvalitén är känd för att kunna avgöra användbarheten av den. Trots detta saknas det information om hur kvalitetskontroller har genomförts samtSisyla is a joint project between the counties of Skåne, Blekinge, Jönköping, Kronoberg and Kalmar in Sweden. A geographic database has been built with the aim to study the service situation of the area. The main purpose of this thesis is to find a method to investigate the quality of the Sisyla database and to apply it. The method is adjusted to the standard ISO 19114. The agreement between the d
