The reassignment technique is used to increase the localization for signals that have closely located time-frequency components. For Gaussian components the reassignment based on an optimal (matched) window spectrogram will result in a single point where all mass is located. For non-optimal windows, the reassignment procedure can be optimally rescaled to fulfill the single point mass location. Non

The humoral immune response to a T cell dependent protein antigen will over time generate antibodies with an increased affinity to the antigen. This is due to a process known as affinity maturation and proceeds in a, for this purpose, well designed micro-milieu within secondary lymphoid organs known as germinal centres. The increase in affinity of an antibody in, e.g. mouse and man is due mainly t

AIMS: The sural nerve is the commonest peripheral nerve biopsied to help in the diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy of unknown cause. However, associated complications limit its use. The aim was, as an alternative, to asses biopsy of the terminal branch of the posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) in the forearm. METHODS: PIN pathology was morphometrically quantified in 10 male patients with Type 2 di

Artikeln diskuterar en väsentligen nordamerikansk tanketradition som explicit eller implicit framställer den centrala antika filosofiska frågan – ”hur bör jag leva?” – som sin frågehorisont, och som gör det såväl teoretiskt, empiriskt som normativt. Det handlar om sociologer och andra samhällsvetare, men också om litteraturvetare och kulturkritiker, essäister och skönlitterära författare. ArtikelnThe article describes and analyses an essentially American intellectual tradition which explicitly or implicitly poses the central question of Hellenistic and Roman philosophy – ”how should I live?” – as its main theme and concern, and which discusses the matter theoretically, empirically, and normatively. The tradition includes sociologists and other social scientists, but also cultural theorists

We present the results of 3D high-resolution calculations of the last inspiral stages and the final coalescence of neutron star binary systems. The equations of hydrodynamics are solved using the smoothed particle hydrodynamics method with up to 106 particles. Using Newtonian gravity, but adding the forces emerging from the emission of gravitational waves, we focus on the impact of microphysics on

High-grade gliomas are one of the most aggressive human tumors with <1% of patients surviving 5 years after surgery. Immunotherapy could offer a possibility to eradicate remnant tumor cells after conventional therapy. Experimental immunotherapy can induce partial cure of established intracerebral tumors in several rodent models. One reason for the limited therapeutic effects could be immunosuppres

Landfilling is the most commonly used method for solid waste disposal in Jordan. It is an important source of pollution, which can be displayed through analysis of data for climatic conditions, hydrology and geology of the country. The migration of gas and leachate from the landfill body into the surrounding environment present a serious environmental concern, which include groundwater pollution,

Sammanfattning Dold i samhällets uppbyggnad finns en undermedveten strukturell lönediskriminering. Internationell och nationell rätt är endast tillämplig på den individuella lönediskrimineringen, vilket innebär att den strukturella diskrimineringen per automatik tolereras. Kandidatuppsatsen utreder och ifrågasätter rättsläget vad gäller individuell lönediskriminering samt uppmärksammar den struktuAbstract Hidden in the construction of society lies subconscious structural wage discrimination. International and national law is only applicable on the individual wage discrimination, which means that the structural discrimination is automatically tolerated. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to investigate and question the current legislation regarding individual wage discrimination and highlig

The media’s portrayal of the witness during court proceedings is putting the witness at risk for threats. This has led to the witness not wanting to testify, especially as the case concerns organized crime. It is an age old debate where intimidated witnesses are a concern for the legal system, and people’s human rights in general. The debate is complex as the use of anonymous witnesses goes agains

The present thesis, adopting the ecology of language as its conceptual orientation as well as employing linguistic landscape as its methodological tool to collect and analyze data, firstly aims at investigating (1) how the four official languages of Singapore namely Malay, (Mandarin) Chinese, Tamil, and English have been deployed on signs by three different social actors, i.e., the Singaporean gov

This study focuses on the part of the policy process called implementation. Theorists like Lipsky (1980) and Rice (2012) assign the street-level bureaucrats a major role in this process. The street-level bureaucrats of object in this study are personnel on group homes for unaccompanied minors. Since the children do not have anyone else to look after them, it is the welfare states responsibility to

That sovereignty is losing its importance within international politics is a commonly occurring claim. When adopted by realists it is used as describing the end of an era where predictions of state behaviour were easily made. When concluded by liberalists, it is seen as marking the transit to a new era where the view on an international system as defined by cooperation due to common interests. Thi
