The increasing availability of digital music has created a demand for organizing and retrieving the music. Thus, a new multi-disciplinary research area called music information retrieval, MIR, has emerged. An important part of the content-based field of the research area is to extract musical features, such as tempo or modality, directly from the content, i.e. the audio. This thesis is an evalu...

Chromogranins A and B and secretogranin II are a family of acidic proteins found in neuroendocrine secretory vesicles; these proteins contain multiple potential cleavage sites for proteolytic processing by the mammalian subtilisin-like serine endoproteases PC1 and PC2 (prohormone convertases 1 and 2), and furin. We explored the role of these endoproteases in chromogranin processing in AtT-20 mo...

Using self-generated analogies has been proposed as a method in a constructivist tradition for students to learn about a new subject, by use of what they previously know. We report on a group exercise on using self-generated analogies to make sense of two thermodynamic processes, reversible adiabatic expansion and free adiabatic expansion of an ideal gas. The participants (N = 8) were physics p...

The aim of the study was to demonstrate the relationship between the deep fibular nerve (DFN) and the dorsalis pedis artery (DPA) in the anterior tarsal tunnel(ATT) in order to provide useful anatomical knowledge for safe surgical approaches of the foot and ankle. 40 formalin fixed lower limbs were dissected and examined. The level of bifurcation of the DFN in ATT was noted. Relationship betwee...

A previous study reported the isolation of two mutants (LE1 and LE2) of the plant pathogenic fungus Nectria haematococca (anamorph, Fusarium solani f. sp. cucurbitae) with macroconidia with reduced ability to adhere (Att) to zucchini fruits and polystyrene. The adhesion-reduced-phenotype in LE1 and LE2 macroconidia is temperature sensitive and dependent on the concentration of nutrients. Classi...

Med fler och fler verktyg för översättning tillgängliga kommer antagligen översättare att bli betydligt mer effektiva än idag. Men det är inte enbart själva översättningsprogrammen som är av intresse. Effektiva analyser av källtexten och av ev. tidigare måltexter har också avgörande betydelse, särskilt när det gäller att välja mellan en mängd olika typer av verktyg. Vissa texter lämpar sig väl ...

Rhabdoid tumors of the central nervous system are rare malignancies. Primary central nervous system atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors (ATT/RhTs) mostly occur during early childhood and are almost invariably fatal. These tumors show similar histological and radiological features to primitive neuroectodermal tumormedulloblastoma (PNET-MB) but have different biological behaviors. We report a case ...

The ATT-CMUnited-2000 simulator team nished in third place at Robocup2000. It was one of only three teams to nish ahead of the previous year's champion, CMUnited-99. In controlled experiments, ATT-CMUnited-2000 beats CMUnited-99 by an average score of 2.6{0.2. ATT-CMUnited-2000 is based upon CMUnited-99 [4], which in turn is based on CMUnited-98 [5]. In particular, it uses many of the technique...
