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).

Popular Abstract in Swedish I min avhandling har jag studerat marina sedimentkärnor från två kustområden i SE Sverige, dels från Gåsfjärden, strax söder om Västervik i Småland, och dels från kusten utanför Karlskrona i Blekinge. Med syftet att studera hur Östersjöns kustmiljö har förändrats sedan mitten av Holocen (~5000 år sedan). Resultaten visar att kustmiljön har påverkats av flera stressfaktoIn this thesis, I used two coastal sediment sequences from SE Sweden to study how Baltic Sea coastal environment has changed since the mid-Holocene. The results show the coastal environment has been influenced by multi-stressors, such as climate change, shoreline regression and anthropogenic activities. Using the sediment sequence from Karlskrona Bay, past coastal environment between 7300 and 350

To study the process of domestic market integration in Lao People’s Democratic Republic (hereafter Lao PDR), this chapter explores the spatial variation in beer prices and its relationship with transport costs and various local market characteristics. More specifically, we study how the price of a 640 ml bottle of Beer Lao varies across the country. In a well- integrated market, we expect the law

In this article, I argue that Finnish passive participle (e.g. avattu 'opened' and suljettu 'closed') can be multiply ambiguous: the "same" morphophonological forms exhibit different patterns of eventivity and agentivity, and are used to form "traditional" non-agreeing passives, agreeing resultative passives and agreeing sentences that describe "pure" states and behave in most contexts like "tradi
