Regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) asymmetries were studied in 189 subjects (96 males and 93 females) at rest with the 133Xenon inhalation method using a fixed detector system. rCBF asymmetries in the resting condition were very small, nevertheless a significant (p less than 0.001) effect for their topographical distribution was present, reflecting higher rCBF in the right fronto-temporal and lef

Supply chains are no longer to be regarded as linear constructs with definite starting and ending points, but as systems, or wholes that are to be customer driven rather than product driven. But however easy it sounds in theory industries are struggling to re-invent or re-comprehend existing business models. This paper aims to describe and identify organizational challenges to re-defining the supp

We have recently reported (M. Petricek, L. Rutberg, I. Schroder, and L. Hederstedt, J. Bacteriol. 172:2250-2258, 1990) the cloning and sequence of a Bacillus subtilis chromosomal DNA fragment containing hemA proposed to encode the NAD(P)H-dependent glutamyl-tRNA reductase of the C5 pathway for 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) synthesis, hemX encoding a hydrophobic protein of unknown function, and hemC

This paper addresses the problem of adaptively controlling a plant with unknown parameters using communication-limited feedback. Assuming known dynamics, expressions have recently been obtained for the minimum average feedback data rate required for asymptotic stabilisability. The main purpose of this work is to demonstrate that this minimum rate does not increase if the plant parameters are unkno

This chapter introduces the notion of civic culture as a frame for understanding political engagement and civic agency. In particular, the role of the media is underscored in shaping civic cultures; these include such dimensions as knowledge, values, practices and identities.

Distributed Generation (DG) installations have been increasing during the last years. Wind power and photovoltaics are two of the most common renewable energy sources for DG typically connected to the distribution network (DN) originally planned and built to supply loads. DG units connected to the DN impact the voltage where customers are connected. Network voltage is an important quality criterio

Ett initiativ till ett tvångsingripande enligt LVU medför att barnet hamnar i en omfattande process med avgörande betydelse för dess framtid, men där barnet självt har begränsad förmåga att hävda sina intressen. För en lagstiftning vars syfte är att tillvarata barnets intressen är de personer som utreder, presenterar och argumenterar för barnet centrala aktörer. Vilka medel använder dessa aktörer

I rapporten utvärderas ett rehabiliteringsprojekt med syfte att återfå arbetslösa långtidssjukskrivna till arbete.

The blogging culture has become an important and integrated part of the book trade and has influenced the publishing, marketing and distribution of literature in North America and in many European countries. However, it is unclear how this potential agency among bloggers operates, and thus far most research has concerned politics, media systems and larger social structures. The present article is

In this paper, we describe a passage retrieval component for a questioning answering system and we evaluate its performance on Swedish documents. We used a corpus of questions and answers transcribed from the Swedish board game Kvitt eller dubbelt and, as source for the passages, we used the articles of the Swedish version of Wikipedia. We show that Wikipedia is a suitable knowledge source to answ
