4. 2. Emergence of words : Multisensory precursors of sound-meaning associations in infancy

   Author : Eeva Klintfors; Francisco Lacerda; Daniel Swingley; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; language acquisition; word acquisition; auditory-visual; multisensory; sound-meaning association; distributional learning; perceptual salience; infancy; språkinlärning; ordinlärning; audio-visuell; multisensorisk; förbindelser mellan ljud och betydelse; distributionell inlärning; perceptuell prominens; spädbarn; Phonetics; Fonetik; Phonetics; fonetik;

   Abstract : This thesis presents four experimental studies, carried out at the Phonetic laboratory, Stockholm University, on infants’ ability to establish auditory-visual sound-meaning associations as a precursor of early word acquisition. Study I reports on the effect of linguistic variance on infants’ ability (3- to 20-months) to establish sound-meaning associations. READ MORE

6. 4. Real-Time Algorithms and Intersection Test Methods for Computer Graphics

   Author : Tomas Möller; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; texture; ray tracing; radiosity; color; three-dimensional graphics and realism; virtual reality; algorithms; shadowing; shading;

   Abstract : In real-time computer graphics applications, at least three major forces are in conflict, namely, rendering speed, the level of realism, and interactivity. Therefore this thesis focuses on real-time algorithms that enhance the realism while maintaining high rendering speed, and on fast intersection test methods in order to speed up, for example, collision detection, picking processes and ray tracing.
