Abstract in French Cette contribution décrit l’aide potentielle que le concept de table interactive apporte à certaines tâches du concepteur en mécanique. Le travail de recherche présenté n’en est qu’à sa genèse. La problématique est la suivante : une fois la faisabilité d’une idée de produit (le concept) est prouvée, le concepteur développe l’architecture et les composants du produit (embodiment This paper describes the potential help that the interactive desktop concept can bring to the execution of embodiment design tasks. The presented project is still in its infancy. The research framework is the following: once a product concept has been approved, the mechanical design engineer develops the product architecture and product part (also called embodiment design). Sketches at that level

The present study is about the phonetic properties of the West Swedish dialect spoken specifically in the city of Gothenburg, i.e. göteborgska. On the basis of a perception test using synthetic speech the present investigation concerns the distribution of segmental duration within stressed and post-stressed syllables in the task of identifying the West Swedish dialect. In this study I will use the

The purpose of this paper is to discuss how theories of social and intellectual development of scientific fields can be used to analyze LIS, and especially its relationship to other research areas and the library and information field of practice. Scientific fields can be seen as reputational work organizations, where degrees of task uncertainty and mutual dependency control the coordination and d
