  2. 1. The priority of temporal aspects in L2-Swedish prosody : Studies in perception and production

    Author : Bosse Thorén; Robert McAllister; Hartmut Traunmüller; Gösta Bruce; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Foreign accent; Basic prosody; Swedish; Stress; Quantity; Duration; Priority; Postvocalic consonant; Listener friendly; Phonetics; Fonetik; Phonetics; fonetik;

    Abstract : Foreign accent can be everything from hardly detectable to rendering the second language speech unintelligible. It is assumed that certain aspects of a specific target language contribute more to making the foreign accented speech intelligible and listener friendly, than others. READ MORE

  4. 2. Structures in Germanic Prosody : A diachronic study with special reference to the Nordic languages

    Author : Tomas Riad; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES;

    Abstract : This study provides a reconstruction of the development of the Germanic stress and syllabification system (as reflected in Gothic and Proto-Nordic) up to the completion of the quantity shift in Late Old Swedish. By means of current prosodic theory it is established that a domain of two moras wordinitially is present at all stages of development, in Gothic, Old English and Proto-Nordic as well as in Modem Swedish.

  5. 3. Exploring childhood apraxia of speech : speech and language profiles in 5-year-olds with suspected apraxia of speech or cleft palate

    Author : Ann Malmenholt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Introduction and aims: Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) is a speech sound disorder (SSD) lacking a quantifiable measure discriminating all cases of CAS from other SSDs. This project aimed at exploring CAS using different perspectives when examining speech and language difficulties commonly seen in 5-year-old children with suspected CAS or children with repaired cleft palate (CP±L).

  6. 4. Development of molecular biology tools for the wine and beer yeast Dekkera bruxellensis

    Author : Anna Schifferdecker; Molekylär cellbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; non-conventional yeasts; Dekkera bruxellensis; genetic tools; chromosomes variability; glucose fermentation; genotype-phenotype paradigm; baking yeasts;

    Abstract : The non-conventional wine and beer yeast Dekkera bruxellensis is of great interest for the food industry and academic research. This Crabtree-positive yeast is a good ethanol producer and can compete the baker´s yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, in ethanol and pH tolerance and could be an even better organism for the biofuel production from alternative carbon sources.

  7. 5. Prediction, Design and Determination of Protein Structures

    Author : Sebastian Rämisch; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; protein design; Rosetta; Fold-and-Dock; leucine rich repeat proteins; coiled-coils; molecular replacement; ab initio phasing; temperature stability; fluorescent proteins;

    Abstract : The three-dimensional structure of protein is encoded in its amino acid sequence. Modern structure prediction algorithms make it possible to predict the structure of small proteins using sequence information alone. READ MORE
