What keystroke-logging can reveal about writing

Writing is a dynamic activity. In order fully to appreciate that fact, we have to analyse writing as it unfolds in teal time. The present paper gives a bird's eye perspective on the budding paradigm of using keystroke logging as a window on the online process of writing. First, methods and tools for designing writing experiments, recording writing activity, and for analysing recordings of writing

Biogas production from crop residues on a farm-scale level in Sweden: scale, choice of substrate and utilisation rate most important parameters for financial feasibility

Anaerobic digestion would enable the energy potential of agricultural crop residues such as ley crops and sugar beet tops to be harnessed in Sweden. In the present study, the financial prospects of single-stage fed-batch high-solids digestion on three different scales, 51, 67, and 201 kW, were calculated on the basis of experimental results and observations. In addition to scale, the effects of me

Convex Dynamic Programming for Hybrid Systems

A classical linear programming approach to optimization of flow or transportation in a discrete graph is extended to hybrid systems. The problem is finite-dimensional if the state space is discrete and finite, but becomes infinite-dimensional for a continuous or hybrid state space. It is shown how strict lower bounds on the optimal loss function can be computed by gridding the continuous state spa

Optically stimulated luminescence from Al2O3 : C irradiated with 10-60 MeV protons

We investigated the potential use of Al2O3:C for medical proton dosimetry. Detector crystals coupled to fiber-optic cables were irradiated in proton beams with energies from 10 to 60 MeV. The key finding is that the initial intensity of the optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) signal is energy independent for small detectors (

Det tysta huset : bättre ljudkomfort i nyproducerade bostäder

I denna bok redovisas ett projekt i Lund (kv. Bollen) vars syfte var att visa att det med tillgänglig teknik och till rimliga kostnader går att bygga bostäder som uppfyller högt ställda krav på ljudkomfort. De uppställda kraven, problembeskrivningar, valda lösningar, kostnadsförändringar samt de utförandetekniska konsekvenserna redovisas detaljerat.

The Patmos Family of New Testament MSS and Its Allies in the Pericope of the Adulteress and Beyond

This article examines the genetic relationships among 34 MSS suspected of being related because of a peculiar shared reading in John 8:8b-9a: "he wrote on the ground the sins of each..." A quantitative analysis detected several independent families, including new family P members and a dozen MSS forming "family Patmos/M;" this family, in turn, includes the original Patmos family discovered by Silv

Structure and magnetism on in situ ultrathin epitaxial films: XMCD and EXAFS on Fe/Ag(100)

We have made in situ investigations of epitaxial ultrathin Fe films on Ag(100). This system is known to exhibit a reorientation of the magnetization, dependent of Fe thickness and temperature. Our aim here is to correlate the local structure with the magnetic properties of this system. The X-ray absorption fine structure has been recorded in situ both in the near edge as well as in the extended X-

Fetal antigen 1 (FA1) in the adult rat adrenal gland, ovary and pituitary gland

Fetal antigen 1 (FA1) is a circulating glycoprotein containing six epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like repeats. FA1's larger membrane-bound precursor is defined by the cDNAs referred to as either human delta-like (dlk) or human adrenal specific cDNA, pG2. In rodents FA1 has also been studied under the names of preadipocyte factor 1 (Pref-1), and zona glomerulosa-specific factor (ZOG). FA1 is abunda

Expression of a selenomethionine derivative and preliminary crystallographic studies of human cystatin C

Human cystatin C, a protein with amyloidogenic properties and a potent inhibitor of papain-like mammalian proteases, has been produced in its full-length form by recombinant techniques and crystallized in two polymorphic forms: cubic and tetragonal. A selenomethionyl derivative of the protein, obtained by Escherichia coli expression and with complete Met→Se-Met substitution confirmed by mass spect

Seed bank in annuals: Competition between banker and non-banker morphs

Seed bank is a plant life history strategy against the unpredictability of the biotic and the abiotic environment. We simulated competition between a seed banking and a non-banking morph of an annual plant. A constant fraction of the banker morph seeds was allocated to the seed bank, where they had a constant mortality and germination rate. All surviving seeds of the non-banker morph germinated in

Seeking evidence that cell kill guided thermotherapy gives results not inferior to those of transurethral prostate resection: Results of a pooled analysis of 3 studies of feedback transurethral microwave thermotherapy

Purpose: We compared ProstaLund Feedback Treatment(R) (PLFT(R)) to transurethral prostate resection (TURP) in terms of efficacy and safety in a pooled analysis of 3 clinical studies with 1-year followup. Materials and Methods: Overall raw data on 183 patients with PLFT(R) and 65 with TURP were pooled. All studies had identical inclusion criteria, and the efficacy and safety of the method were eval

Prenatal and postnatal maternal smoking as risk factors for preschool children's mental health

Aim: To identify maternal prenatal and postnatal smoking as risk factors for psychosocial behaviour problems in Swedish preschool children. Methods: This prospective, longitudinal population study compared mothers' self-reported smoking during pregnancy and when the child was 3 mo old with behaviour problems according to Achenbach's Child Behavior Checklist at 3 y ( 1428 children) and 5.5 y of age

Life satisfaction among older people (65+) with reduced self-care capacity: the relationship to social, health and financial aspects

Aims and objectives. This study aimed at investigating life satisfaction and its relation to living conditions, overall health, self-care capacity, feeling lonely, physical activities and financial resources among people (65+) with reduced self-care capacity. Background. Knowledge about factors related to low life satisfaction among older people with reduced self-care capacity is sparse, although

Combined use of NMR relaxation measurements and hydrodynamic calculations to study protein association. Evidence for tetramers of low molecular weight protein tyrosine phosphatase in solution

We describe a novel method for determining weak association constants of oligomeric protein complexes formed transiently under equilibrium conditions. This type of equilibrium process is recognized as being biologically important, but generally hard to study. Heteronuclear spin relaxation rates measured at multiple protein concentrations are analyzed using relaxation rates predicted from hydrodyna
