Retinal image motion could be due to movement of the observer through space or an object relative to the scene. Optic flow, form, and change of position cues all provide information that could be used to separate out retinal motion due to object movement from retinal motion due to observer movement. In Experiment 1 we used a minimal display to examine the contribution of optic flow and form cues.

There is a high quest for novel therapeutic strategies to enhance recovery after stroke. MicroRNA-124 (miR-124) has been described as neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory molecule. Moreover, miR-124 is a well described enhancer of adult neurogenesis that could offer potentially beneficial effects. Herein, we used miR-124-loaded nanoparticles (miR-124 NPs) to evaluate their therapeutic potential i

The year 2018 saw the rise of a new global youth movement, Fridays for Future. The organization underlines the importance of personal accountability for greenhouse gas emissions, specifically in the context of air travel. This position is in stark contrast to views associating aeromobility with status. Celebrities in particular maintain personal brands based on frequent flying. This paper assesses

Model tests have shown that by building a shallow dam at the outlet the discharge from the upper reservoir can be distributed over such a large width that the kinetic energy is dissipated before the flow reaches levels deeper than 10 m. Since the summer thermocline is situated at 15 m and the epilimnion is homothermal the discharge does not affect the thermal stratification of the lake during the

The European Green Deal states that greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions should be reduced by at least 50% by 2030, and that there should be no net GHG emissions by 2050. The energy sector is a key in this transformation, and energy communities can as accelerators of transitionsKey findings:•Future scenarios outline a decentralized energy system in which smaller generation units have become more economi

Radiation protection professionals are engaged in risk communication with various stakeholders to contribute to risk awareness, trust building, informed risk decisions, and advice for action. The newly launched IRPA guideline on risk communication has the objective to enthuse communication on radiation protection and provide experiences and techniques regarding this task. However, radiation protec

Ov Cristian Norocels artikel diskuterar den svenska högerradikala populismenutifrån ett feministiskt perspektiv. Han kartlägger Sverigedemokraternas omtolkningar av den nationella metaforen om ”det svenska folkhemmet” och analyserar konstruktionen av maskuliniteter inom svensk högerradikal populism. Norocel för fram en specifik tolkning av den begreppsliga metaforteorin, en tolkning som innefattar

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to enhance the heat transfer and thermal performance in the trailing edge region of the vane with vortex generators (VGs). Design/methodology/approach: This numerical study presents the enhancement of thermal performance in the trailing part of a gas turbine blade. In the trailing part, generally, pin fins are used either in staggered or in-line arrangements t
