This paper details the design of the lexical and syntactic layers of a new annotated corpus of Swedish contemporary texts. In order to make the corpus adaptable into a variety of representations, the annotation is of a hybrid type with head-marked constituents and function-labeled edges, and with a rich annotation of non-local dependencies. The source material has been taken from public sources...

We introduce a component model with an architectural description language that helps to manage the growing complexity and diversity of software in consumer electronics products. The model supports flexible instantiation and late binding of components at an absolute minimum of product costs (code size and speed). The model is being used in the production of the next generation of mid to high-end...

The Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) is an arboreal marsupial found throughout southeastern Australia. A high risk of extinction in some areas requires adherence to legislation mandating protection high-quality habitat. primarily eats leaves the Eucalyptus genus and wildlife managers are, most cases, currently dependent on habitat maps depicting food resource availability derived from low-resolut...

BACKGROUND Conservation strategies derived from research carried out in one part of the range of a widely distributed species and then uniformly applied over multiple regions risk being ineffective due to regional variations in species-habitat relationships. This is particularly true at the edge of the range where information on animal movements and resource selection is often limited. Here, we...

BACKGROUND The influence of asthma candidate genes on the development from wheeze to asthma in young children still needs to be defined. OBJECTIVE To link genetic variants in asthma candidate genes to progression of wheeze to persistent wheeze into childhood asthma. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a prospective study, children with recurrent wheeze from the ADEM (Asthma DEtection and Monitoring) s...
