  2. 1. Digital straight line segments and curves

    Author : Shiva Samieinia; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : Digital geometry; digital straight line segments; chord property; Khalimsky-continuous function.;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of two papers:Paper A. Chord properties of digital straight line segments.This paper treats digital straight line segments in two different cases, in the 8-connected plane and in the Khalimsky plane. We investigate them using a new classification, dividing them into a union of horizontal and diagonal segments. READ MORE

  4. 2. Identification and assessment of luxury brand segments in the emerging markets: Case of South Africa

    Author : Beate Stiehler; Esmail Salehi-Sangari; Leyland Pitt; Narongsak (Tek) Thongpapanl; KTH; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Luxury brands; South Africa; Emerging markets; Consumer behaviour; luxury segments; brand co-creation; discourse analysis; Företagsekonomi; Business Studies;

    Abstract : Africa has been identified as an upcoming market in which luxury brands should secure future growth opportunities. A review of related academic literature, however, reveals that limited research has been conducted which focuses specifically on the continent’s luxury consumers. READ MORE

  5. 3. Articulation in time : Some word-initial segments in Swedish

    Author : Malin Svensson Lundmark; Fonetik; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; acceleration; articulation; articulography; coarticulation; EMA; gesture; phonology; prosody; speech motor control; speech production modelling; Swedish; word accent; tone;

    Abstract : Speech is both dynamic and distinctive at the same time. This implies a certain contradiction which has entertained researchers in phonetics and phonology for decades. The present dissertation assumes that articulation behaves as a function of time, and that we can find phonological structures in the dynamical systems. READ MORE

  6. 4. Conformational properties of transmembrane polypeptide segments in the ER membrane

    Author : IngMarie Nilsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : glycosylation; membrane protein; transmembrane helix; proline; charged residues;

    Abstract : We have developed a new experimental approach where the active site of oligosaccharyl transferase is used as a point of reference against which the position of a transmembrane segment in the membrane can be measured. This so-called glycosylation mapping technique allows any transmembrane segment to be positioned relative to a known reference transmembrane helix with known position in the membrane. READ MORE

  7. 5. Static and Dynamic Load Response of the Lumbar Spine in Flexion

    Author : Anna-Lisa Osvalder; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; biomechanical response; flexion-distraction injuries; injury; ; experimental methods; spinal segments;

    Abstract : The aims of this study were to develop experimental methods for static and dynamic loading of spinal segments in vitro that would simulate flexion-distraction injuries (lap seat-belt injuries) and increase knowledge about the biomechanical response and the mechanisms of injury of the lumbar spine under static and dynamic (transient) loads in flexion. The experiments were carried out on the lumbar functional spinal unit (FSU) consisting of two adjacent vertebrae, the intervertebral disc and all intervening ligaments. READ MORE
