A literature review on fatigue among older people

Objective. The aim of the study was to survey existing research about fatigue among older people with chronic non-malignant pain. Method. A structured literature review was carried out using the Medline database. The terms ‘fatigue’ and ‘tiredness’ were used synonymously. These subject headings were combined with pain. A literature search was made in 2004 and included articles back to 1995. Resu

Energy Efficiency in Cement Industry

Abstract in UndeterminedEconomic development that includes investments in infrastructure and buildings requires energy intensive basic materials such as steel and cement. The production capacity of these industries is also growing most rapidly in developing countries [WEC, 1995 #41]. Energy intensive industries typically account for a relatively small share of the value-added in industry but a rel

Intonation Pattern and Duration Differences in Imitated Speech

The present paper is a study of one impersonator and one of his voice imitations. The aim of the study was to investigate how he changes his own voice and speech behavior in order to get close to the target speaker’s. A comparison is made between three recordings of the same text material: the target speaker, the voice imitation and the impersonator’s own voice and dialect. The results presented i

Surface Wave Testing of Pavements

A novel approach for surface wave testing of pavements is presented. It is a non-destructive testing (NDT) technique that can be used to obtain the thickness and stiffness properties of the different layers in a pavement. With this method structural properties of the pavement can be mapped as a function of time and space, providing a valuable tool in pavement design and management. The technical d

Klimatet tar inte paus

Inbromsningen är varken oväntad eller oförklarlig Under den senaste femtonårsperioden (1998-2012) har hastigheten på temperaturökningen i atmosfären bromsats in. Detta har lett till vissa spekulationer i media och samhällsdebatten om att klimatförändringarna avstannat, eller att effekten av växthusgasernas inverkan är mindre än tidigare bedömts. Klimatvetenskapen däremot säger att inbromsningen av

Olfaction in Desert Locusts- Anatomy, Function and Plasticity of the Central Olfactory System

Popular Abstract in Swedish Svensk populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning av avhandlingen Olfaction in Desert Locusts – Anatomy, Function and Plasticity of the Central Olfactory System av Rickard Ignell, Ekologiska institutionen, Lunds Universitet 2001. Doftsinnet hos ökengräshoppor Att studera ökengräshoppans, Schistocerca gregaria, doftsinne är att försöka komma underfund med några av de mekanismeThe anatomy, function and plasticity of the primary olfactory centre, the antennal lobe (AL), of the desert locust Schistocerca gregaria was investigated using a number of neuroanatomical and neurophysiological methods. Anatomical characterisation of the AL in a number of orthopteran species made it possible to deduce a model concerning the evolution of microglomeruli. These neuropil structures, c
