Brain machine interfaces with chronically implanted microelectrode arrays for signal acquisition require algorithms for successful detection and classification of neural spikes. During the design of such algorithms, signals with a priori known characteristics need to be present. A common way to establish such signals is to model the recording environment, simulate the recordings and store ground t
Domestication processes tend to release animals from natural selection and favour traits desired by humans, such as food-production and co-operative behaviour. A side effect of such selective breeding is the alteration of unintended traits. In this paper, we investigate how active selection for egg production in chickens has affected the visual system, in particular the optical sensitivity that re
Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) research was initiated by Poyner et al.,(1) who found that the calcitonin gene encodes the 37-amino acid neuropeptide CGRP in neuronal tissue. Within months, the Lund group produced antibodies toward α-CGRP and developed sensitive methods to study the role of this peptide in the cranial circulation. Intracranial vessels and the trigeminal ganglion harbor this
The 2(1)(+) states of Sn-114,Sn-116 were excited in two consecutive experiments by means of Coulomb excitation in inverse kinematics on a Ni-58 target. A precise determination of the reduced transition probability B(E2; 0(g.s.)(+) -> 2(1)(+)) of Sn-114 relative to the well-known 2(1)(+) excitation strength in Sn-116 was achieved by comparing the relative projectile to target 2(1)(+) -> 0(g.s.)(+)
A search for first generation excited neutrinos is performed using the full e(-) p data sample collected by the HI experiment at HERA at a centre-of-mass energy of 319 GeV, corresponding to a total luminosity of 184 pb(-1). The electroweak decays of excited neutrinos nu* -> nu gamma, v* -> nu Z and nu* -> eW with subsequent hadronic or leptonic decays of the W and Z bosons are considered. No evide
Seed particles of elements or compounds which may or may not form alloys are now used extensively in promoting well-controlled nanowire growth. The technology has evolved following the well-known Vapour-Liquid-Solid (VLS) model which was developed over 40 years ago. This model indicates that a liquid alloy is formed from the seed particle and the growth precursor(s), resulting in crystal growth by
Abstract Background: Despite the large availability of 3T MR scanners and the potential of high field imaging, this technical platform has yet to prove its usefulness in the cardiac MR setting, where 1.5T remains the established standard. Global perfusion of the left ventricle, as well as the coronary flow reserve (CFR), can provide relevant diagnostic information, and MR measurements of these par
This paper analyzes the policy process that resulted in Ireland becoming the first country in the world to divest its public funds from fossil fuels. Against a background of being a climate laggard, the Irish case presents an interesting outcome of introducing a novel measure to address climate change. By drawing on an extended version of the Multiple Streams framework encompassing both the stages
Kött har varit ett av de vanligaste livsmedlen för mänskligheten i årtusenden och en viktig del av minnen kopplade till mat i olika kulturer, i förhållande till vardagliga livsmedelspraktiker. Numera har växtbaserat kött (PBM), som substitut för animaliskt kött (ABM), blivit populärt och vanligt bland konsumenter som bor i Nordeuropa. Detta av olika anledningar, däribland miljöproblem, djurskydd o
Traditionally Bhutanese buildings are built with rammed earth. These buildings have low insulation values and lack thermal comfort resulting in sub-zero temperatures inside the homes in colder regions. Modern insulation materials in Bhutan are uncommon due to the lacking availability, and therefore, a local source of insulation material is needed to improve the living conditions. The worldwide use
The aim of this study is to investigate why individuals form certain attitudes towards immigration from a perspective of sociotropic concerns. The theory suggests that people form political attitudes based on the consequences for their country as a whole. I add the perspective that sociotropic concerns are based on the social group that is of most importance to the individual, national or not. Pre
As China’s economy and presence around the world continue to grow, so does their influence. The Chinese engagement in Africa began 70 years ago and China is now the most significant foreign actor on the continent. This qualitive case-study investigates what China’s Africa strategy is. By using the theories of Soft Power and Economic Statecraft light is shed on different explanations as to why that
Det komplexa regelverk som omgärdar fåmansföretagen har varit omdebatterat sedan dess införande på 1970-talet, och inte heller det kapitalandelskrav som infördes år 2014 har undgått kritik. Syftet med kapitalandelskravet är att endast de delägare som äger mer än fyra procent av kapitalet i ett fåmansföretag ska kunna utnyttja den förmånliga löneunderlagsregeln. Denna regel kan ge upphov till stora
De tre olika mellanmännen i svensk rätt är kommissionärer, agenter och återförsäljare. Gemensamt för samtliga är att de fungerar som en del av distributionskedjan. Till stora delar är mellanmännen beroende av huvudmannens prestationer eftersom mellanmännen inte bedriver någon egen produktionsverksamhet. Till följd av detta är det vanligast att huvudmannen styr de villkor för vilka mellanmännen skaThere are three alternate intermediaries in the Swedish legal system, namely commissioners, commercial agents, and retailers. Commonly, these intermediaries constitute part of the distribution chain. Predominantly, intermediaries are dependent on the principal’s performance since intermediaries do not engage in production activities of their own. Followingly, the principal generally stipulates the
