The process of globalization encompasses economic and financial integration. The abolition of capital controls and the dismantling of barriers of different kinds will expose previously sheltered companies to shocks originating in the global economic arena. Policymakers in already globalized countries have learned that market participants should be prepared in due time to meet the new exposure to f

During 1972–1975, the breeding waterfowl populations of the northern parts of Fennoscandia (south to 65° N in Sweden) were surveyed for the first time. In 2009, a new survey was undertaken in the Swedish part of the mountain chain. Censuses were performed from the air in transects of 5×5 km squares and in special areas. The distribution of the different species was largely similar between the two

In this paper we consider the problem of solving geometric reconstruction problems with the L-infinity-norm. Previous work has shown that globally optimal solutions can be computed reliably for a series of such problems. The methods for computing the solutions have relied on the property of quasiconvexity. For quasiconvex problems, checking if there exists a solution below a certain objective valu

Within the Scandinavian languages, there is a notable variation regarding verb agreement. Holmberg & Platzack (1995) suggested that this basic feature is linked to both verb raising and the presence of a handful of syntactic phenomena, such as stylistic fronting, oblique subjects, transitive expletives etc. In agreement-rich languages such as Icelandic and Faroese, the finite verb thus raises

The scalar polarizability constant [alpha]0 for the 10, 11 2S1/2 and 9 2D5/2 states of 133Cs was measured i Stark effect experiment on a collimated atomic beam. The states were reached by a two-step excitation procedure involving a single-mode dye laser.

The adhesin protein E (PE) of the human respiratory pathogen nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) exists in all clinical isolates. In the present study, NTHi adherence to epithelial cells of various origins was further analyzed. The number of intraepithelial PE-deficient NTHi was decreased compared with PE-expressing NTHi. Interestingly, PE-expressing NTHi or Escherichia coli transformants, i

A common technique to deploy linear prediction to non- stationary signals is time segmentation and local analysis. Variations of a process within such a segment cause inac- curacies. In this paper, we model the temporal changes of linear prediction coefficients (LPCs) as a Fourier series. We obtain a compact description of the vocal tract model limited by the predictor order and the maximum Dopple

The multivariate normal probability integral with a product correlation structure can be transformed to a one dimensional integral and easily evaluated when the correlation matrix is non-singular and well conditioned. However, the nearly singular case is much more difficult and previous methods fail to compute it with high numerical precision. This paper demonstrates that the (nearly) singular cas
