Finger tapping to isochronous pacing stimuli is a well established experimental paradigm first described in the late 19th century. Two variables of common interest in rhythmic tapping tasks are timing variability and constant error. However, a difficulty when estimating these variables is that at interstimulus intervals longer than 2 seconds participants regularly overshoot the target interval and
Maritime transportation is a significant contributor to SOx, NOx and particle matter emissions, and to a lesser extent, of CO2. Recently new regulations are being enforced in special geographical areas to limit the amount of emissions from the ships. This fact, together with the high fuel prices, is driving the marine industry towards the improvement of the energy efficiency of ships. Although mor
Popular Abstract in Swedish Forskarna inom Chicagoskolan var de första i ett akademiskt ramverk som systematiskt och etnografiskt satte gruppen och människan i centrum i en modern urban kontext. Det hade förekommit andra som skrivit om industrialism, modernism, urbanitet och de fattiga i slummen, men inte på ett lika systematiskt och genomträngande sätt som Chicagoskolan. Skolans strävan att föranThe main purpose of my thesis is to investigate how the Chicago School in urban sociology, that was active between 1915 and 1935, developed and why it produced so many classical monographs during a period of about ten to fifteen years. To outline the historical reasons for the School to develop I have chosen to view the historical context as a field with different actors. Another related and overa
Popular Abstract in Swedish Den kontinent Skandinavien idag tillhör kallas Eurasia, men den kontinent vi ser idag har inte alltid funnits. Kontinenterna var inte bara sammanfogade på andra sätt, de har också rört sig över jordens yta (de långsamma med samma hastighet som naglar växer!), i platt-tektoniska processer. Innan uppkomsten av Eurasia har Skandinavien i omgångar tillhört andra konstellatiIn an attempt to reconstruct the pre-Caledonian cratonic margin of Fennoscandia, U-Pb geochronological and geochemical investigations have been performed on allochthonous orthogneisses in the northern Swedish Caledonides. The crystalline basement of the nappes have also been examined to further constrain the continuation of various chronologically defined orogenic belts. To constrain the global pa
Popular Abstract in Swedish Luftburna partiklar från transportsektorn och energiproduktion kan ge upphov till negativa hälsoeffekter hos människor och påverka det globala klimatet. Partiklarnas kemiska och fysikaliska egenskaper förändras när de åldras i atmosfären och ny partikelmassa kan bildas från ämnen som tidigare var i gasfas. Det övergripande syftet med den här avhandlingen är att öka kunsEmissions from anthropogenic combustion sources, such as light duty vehicles and small scale biomass combustion, contribute significantly to ambient aerosol particle concentrations both on local and global scales. These emissions have controlling impacts on public health and global climate. The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate how atmospheric transformation and combustion conditions a
Abstract in Uncoded languages El presente trabajo describe el proceso participativo vinculado al desarrollo y la implementación del prototipo de un modelo que tiene como principal objetivo servir de soporte durante el procesos de Evaluación Integrada de la Sostenibilidad (EIS) de diferentes opciones políticas de gestión de los recursos hídricos a diferentes niveles de acción. El modelo – llamado e
Jordens medeltemperatur bör inte höjas mer än högst 2 grader till år 2050. Det är ett mål som Sverige har ställt sig bakom. Om vi ska lyckas med detta måste vi drastiskt minska våra utsläpp av koldioxid och andra växthusgaser. Forskningsprogrammet LETS arbetar med frågor som: Vilken politisk styrning och institutionell förändring krävs? Vilka hinder finns och vilka är möjligheterna på vägen mot de
Several immunodeficiency-related genes are known and a numb er of disease causing mutations have been identified. Immunodeficiency related mutation information have been collected into IDbases. We are currently maintaining 15 registries, which are available at http://www.uta.fi/imt/bioinfo/. The databases are available for the following disorders: adenosine deaminase, CD3 epsilon, CD3 gamma, JAK3,
Vi lärare på Litteraturvetenskapliga institutionen vid Lunds universitet har länge saknat ett arbetsmaterial när vi undervisat i hur man utför epikanalyser. Det har visat sig att Claes-Göran Holmbergs och Anders Ohlssons Epikanalys. En introduktion har fungerat utmärkt som lärobok och på ett enkelt sätt utrett de många teorier och metoder som kan utnyttjas i en analys. Men våra erfarenheter av epi
A modern gas turbine compressor, with its highly aerodynamically loaded blades, is sensitive to changes in profile shape and to surface roughness. Fouling is inevitable, despite highly efficient filtration systems. The remedy to this problem is washing. There are two different approaches, online or off-line washing. The off-line wash is the most effective one, whilst on-line washing only prolongs
Information literacy is both a common and an important learning activity with higher education. That said, it is under-theorized as a process and as a path to a product. In order to meet the need for theory, the four panelists will offer four distinct possibilities for theoretical frameworks. While the four frameworks are able to stand alone, there is also the likelihood that they might be melded
This chapter presents the Development Policy Evaluation Model (DEVPEM), a new simulation model which captures four critical aspects of rural economies in developing countries: 1) the role of the household as both a producer and a consumer of food crops; 2) high transaction costs of participating in markets; 3) market linkages among heterogeneous rural producers and consumers; 4) the imperfect conv
