The present account explains (i) which elements of the act of nonverbal reference are intersubjective, (ii) which major effects intersubjectivity has on the development of intentional communication and at what stages, and (iii) how intersubjectivity contributes to trigger the general capacity for nonverbal reference in the second year. First, intersubjectivity is analysed in terms of a mutual or i
The precise orbit determination problem is to accurately determine the position and velocity vectors of an orbiting satellite. In this paper we review the general contents of the orbit determination process, with particular emphasis on Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. The different orbit determination approaches and the different force models contained within are briefly discussed. The two main e
Corporate mergers and acquisitions (M&As) have during the last decade established themselves as prominent tools for corporate strategy. Consequently, more and more organizations direct their attention towards the potential benefits of a corporate merger and acquisition (M&A) and the problems of leveraging the potentials. This thesis addresses information systems (IS) integration in the con
Denna artikel utgör den andra delen av två uppsatser som behandlar det patenträttsliga kravet att en patentsökt teknologi måste vara praktiskt användbar. Fokus ligger på gen- och proteinrelaterade uppfinningar. En tredje uppsats kommer att undersöka kravet på en tillräcklig beskrivning av dessa teknologier. Medan den första delen analyserade den US-amerikanska tolkningen av det särskilda ”utility”
In this paper, we analyze the relationship between technological competencies (TC) and firm performance. Theoretically, the importance of TC is well established and widely accepted. Therefore, it is surprising that a number of empirical studies have been unable to confirm a substantial positive relationship between TC and firm performance. We identify two major reasons for this: [i] affected by th
Popular Abstract in Swedish Många av cellernas reglerings-, kommunikations- och interaktionssystem styrs av kolhydrater. Dessa kolhydrater sitter ofta bundna på proteiner och bildar då så kallade makromolekyler. En sådan grupp av makromolekyler kallas för glykosaminoglykaner. I de flesta medlemmar av denna grupp sitter långa kolhydratkedjor fast på proteinet via sockret xylos, även känt som björksGlycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are members of a family of polysaccharide structures consisting mostly of repeating disaccharide units. Most GAGs are attached to specific serine residues in proteins to form proteoglycans (PGs). GAGs and PGs show a large and diverse number of biological functions ranging from cell cycle regulation and control of formation of blood vessels to modification of tissue transp
Popular Abstract in English The potential of coconut proteins as food ingredients was studied with the aim of evaluating how plant proteins, in particular those from coconut, could find industrial applications and compete with proteins of animal origin based on meat, fish, milk or eggs. Three research directions were chosen for investigation, to evaluate how coconut proteins would perform in each At present, coconut proteins are discarded as a waste product by the coconut oil industry. If the range of applications of coconut proteins is to be expanded, their potential functionalities should be investigated. Emulsions and gels are of the greatest interest in food industry. Today the dry processing of copra at elevated temperatures is used to optimize the oil recovery. The functionalities o
This chapter provides a physical background to the following ones. It describes the particle and wave properties of light and the diffraction, polarization, refraction, reflection, and absorption of light and statistics of photon emission and absorption. Planck’s law of heat radiation is described in various mathematical and graphical ways. One section is devoted to a simplified description of the
The Tier-1 facility operated by the Nordic DataGrid Facility (NDGF) differs significantly from other Tier-1s in several aspects: firstly, it is not located at one or a few premises, but instead is distributed throughout the Nordic countries; secondly, it is not under the governance of a single organization but instead is a meta-center built of resources under the control of a number of different n
A society’s ability to anticipate disaster is a fundamental part of its resilience. The purpose of this paper is to investigate potential gaps between theory, policy and practice concerning functions for risk assessment in the governmental systems of southern African development countries, particularly Botswana and Tanzania. It applies comparative case studies with data collected in focus groups a
