The purpose of this paper is to show how eye-tracking methodology can be used to study ‘inner space’; both from a theoretical point of view – the existence (or not) of internal image representations – as well as from an applied point of view – the usage of mental imagery in thinking and reasoning. First, we introduce the reader to the mental imagery debate. Second, we summarize studies on mental i

A high-bandwith robot-workpiece interaction requires a stiff robot without resonances in the frequency range of operation. In this article, the compliance dynamics of the Gantry-Tau parallel kinematic robot were identified using subspace-based identification and physical modeling. Measurements were performed both with a camera vision system developed and with a laser tracker. Although promising si

Atmospheric aerosol particles have substantial influence on climate and air quality. However, the anthropogenic influence on the atmospheric aerosol is still poorly known. This limits the understanding of past and future climate changes. Additionally, both epidemiological and toxicological studies indicate adverse health effects of inhaled aerosol particles. In order to study the effect of atmosph

Popular Abstract in Swedish Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Personer som är deprimerade löper större risk att begå självmord än de som har andra psykiska störningar. Studier har visat att cirka 6-15% av alla patienter med affektiv sjukdom begår självmord. Vidare har det visat sig att cirka hälften av alla människor som tar livet av sig har haft en depression. Man har därför sökt efter riskfaktSuicide in Severe Depression. A Longitudinal Case-Control Study. The present thesis is based on a case-control study of suicide victims with a severe depression/ melancholia. All patients admitted to the Department of Psychiatry 1956-1969 who received this diagnosis on a multiaxial schedule (1206 patients) were followed up in two sessions to 1984 and to 1998 concerning suicide and general mortali

This collection of 19 essays is the first one devoted to function-oriented analyses of intermedial interrelationships in literature, art, music, and film. The contributors — among others, Werner Wolf, James Heffernan, Walter Bernhart, Siglind Bruhn, Claus Clüver, Valerie Robillard, and Tamar Yacobi — are leading international scholars in the field of intermediality. The common basis of the essays

The papers offers a critique of a view called sanctionism according to which moral obligations are generated by the fear of sanctions. I argue that this view cannot capture the nature of important moral concepts and practices. I discuss the practice of responsibility-attributions to show this.

Sleep has a major impact on our wellbeing and how we perform.

Receptor tyrosine kinases, such as c-Kit, are proteins whose function it is to transduce signals from the environment into the cell leading to complex behaviors such as proliferation, migration, survival and differentiation. Many of these behaviors are deregulated in cancer, which is characterized by uncontrolled proliferation, insensitivity towards death stimuli, migration of tumor cells away fro

Computer graphics plays an important role in modern engineering of manufacturing systems, both during design using virtual engineering environments and also as part of user interfaces to various machines. Existing and emerging systems today make use of software components, usually providing a graphical view to the user. In manufacturing, 3D graphics is desirable to visualize geometries of equipmen

The text deals with the concept of time travelling into the past and how it is conceived. The author makes an evaluation of different approaches to the past that are either alternative or symbiotic or both in relation to both past and present time. Examples in the article relates to modern rune carvers and re-enactment traditions relating to the Iron age, the Viking Age and the Medieval period.

The paper aims at developing an algebraic representation of normative systems by sets of minimal norms, "connections", within relational structures called condition implication structures. It is shown that, given some general presuppositions, a normative system is completely determined by its set of connections, and that comparisons between normative systems can be made by considering whether conn
