The diversity of mind wandering : The role of individual differences and cognitive factors

Popular Abstract in SwedishMänniskor spenderar en stor del av sin vakna tid åt att tänka på saker som är orelaterade till den uppgift de håller på med eller den omgivning de befinner sig i (dagdrömmar). Under tiden man jobbar, läser en tidning, eller väntar på bussen kan manexempelvis börja tänka på något trevligt man ska göra nästa helg eller en tidigare deprimerande händelse som upprör en. DagdrMany individuals spend a substantial portion of their waking time thinking about topics unrelated to current activities and surroundings (mind wandering). This dissertation sought to contribute to our knowledge of why some people mind wander more than others. Mind wandering in cognitive tasks is more common in individuals with poor executive cognitive control (working memory updating, inhibiting t

Screening of a proton in an electron gas

Calculations are reported of the nonlinear screening of a proton in an electron gas of densities corresponding to rs=1-6. Results for charge densities and total energies are presented from self-consistent Kohn-Sham ground-state calculations. The results differ markedly from the case of linear screening, particularly at low densities. The occurrence of a bound state around the proton for rs>1.9 ind

Towards Integration of Product and Packaging Development

Increased efficiency and effectiveness in the product development process can be expected to result from extending the product development process to inciude the concurrent development of product and packaging. In this paper, the findings from three surveys performed in the Swedish mechanical, pharmaceutical and food industries by Bramklev, Bjärnemo and Jönson (2001 and 2003) are complemented wit

Cell signaling: a systems approach

All higher functions of the cell are dependent on cell signaling. It is the way of the cell to obtain information about the world surrounding it. By getting information on e.g. temperature, glucose concentrations, or the density of neighboring cells, the cell can make decisions on how to optimally act given the supplied information. Even though cells are very different, some of the basic mechanism
