Gaia is an ESA space astrometry mission due for launch in 2011-12. We describe part of the work carried out in the Gaia Data Processing and Analysis Consortium, namely the Astrometric Global Iterative Solution (AGIS) currently being implemented at the European Space Astronomy Center (ESAC) in Spain and largely based on algorithms developed at Lund Observatory. Some provisional results based on sim
Abstract in UndeterminedObservations of chemically peculiar (CP) stars have been conducted for decades and have revealed a variety of spectrum anomalies, most prominent among them are line enhancements of heavy elements. The earlier observations were limited to the optical region and the use of less sensitive detectors, yet are responsible for much of our current characterization of the CP star ph

The chapter argues that language, which rests on the sharing of linguistic norms, honest information, and moral norms, evolved through a co-evolutionary process with a pivotal role for intersubjectivity. Mainstream evolutionary models, based only on individual-level and gene-level selection, are argued to be incapable to account for such sharing of care, values and information, thus implying the n
House dusts, collected for detection of microorganisms in buildings, sometimes have to be stored before measurement. It is possible that continued growth of microorganisms in the stored samples will increase the levels of CFU, chemical marker, biomass etc. The aim of this investigation was to assess the influence of relative humidity on microbial growth in dust samples. We have exposed dust sample
The title refers to a subjectivistic theory on which this book is based. The theory presupposes that the psychological essence of a person is represented, not by reified traits, but by continuous series of adaptive pulses or perceptgeneses out of which reality is shaped. Eventually these pulses may acquire a typical p rofile or structure by way of which the person´s quintessence can ba captured. T
I am concerned with Mary Wollstonecraft’s political morality. In it she makes no moral room, I claim, for emotional responses or emotional reasons for action, and it is important that she doesn’t. I will start by pointing at reasons for why it is important. I will then go on to analyse the content of and relations between her main political concepts: the triad of liberty, equality and virtue, with
The diagnosis of perinatal insults currently relies on adequate documentation of general medical and obstetric factors and on radiologic and laboratory assessments. The measurement of brain damage markers may offer an alternative and direct indicator of cell damage in the nervous system when clinical and radiologic assessments are still silent and has the additional advantage of providing a quanti
A comparative study is performed of a deformed mean field theory, represented by the cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky (CNS) model and the spherical shell model. Energy spectra, occupation numbers, B(E2) values, and spectroscopic quadrupole moments in the light pf-shell nuclei are calculated in the two models and compared. The result is also compared to available experimental data which are generally wel
