Previous studies have proposed that people can use visual cues such as the instantaneous direction (i.e., heading) or future path trajectory of travel specified by optic flow or target visual direction in egocentric space to steer or walk toward a goal. In the current study, we examined what visual cues people use to guide their goal-oriented locomotion and whether their reliance on such visual cu
We show that the boundary conditions entering in the definition of the self-adjoint operator Delta(A,B) describing the Laplacian plus afinite number of point interactions are local if and only if the corresponding wave equation phi = Delta(A,B)phi has finite speed of propagation.
Traffic safety work needs different methods and tools in order to choose and evsaluate traffic safety measures. The thesis contributes to this problem by presenting and visualizing a method which describes the traffic safety situation in several dimensions. The method used to describe the traffic safety problem shows the potential of a simultanous presentation and evaluation of these dimensions an
This is for her is a performance about torture and therapy. On stage are two women. A victim and a perpetrator. A patient and a therapist. Torture and therapy always involve two people. Torture is about destroying the trust in other people. It only takes a moment, but it takes a lifetime to get back to everyday life again.
A recently identified polysaccharide utilization locus (PUL) from Bacteroides ovatus ATCC 8483 is transcriptionally up-regulated during growth on galacto- and glucomannans. It encodes two glycoside hydrolase family 26 (GH26) β-mannanases, BoMan26A and BoMan26B, and a GH36 α-galactosidase, BoGal36A. The PUL also includes two glycan-binding proteins, confirmed by β-mannan affinity electrophoresis. W
In modern day society the increase of data generation and transfer has been an issue that researchers are working on. This generated and shared data might have a different purpose but one thing is certain, the reception. This communication can cover continents, countries, cities or even just a few meters. For the purpose of the later, personal area networks (PAN) have been created with a main focu
Sports have been shown to influence and shape humans in many ways. However, how sports background influences decision-making in early stage entrepreneurial ventures has not been examined closely. Hence, this thesis addressed this gap and explored how sports backgrounds influence decision-making in early-stage ventures. More specifically, it delved into how experience as an elite team sports athlet
This research paper uses an explanatory sequential mixed method design to examine the factors influencing students' decision-making regarding their future and the impact of Brexit on these choices. The study aims to understand the interplay between various factors and Brexit's role in shaping students' decisions. Initially, quantitative analysis of the 2017 CPC-ONS-UUK SoGIS survey dat
All animals and some bacteria can synthesize linear polysaccharides with a backbone of repeating disaccharideunits, called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). The GAGs are either attached to a protein core, as in proteoglycans (PGs), or exist as free polymer chains, as in hyaluronan. One of the most common types of GAGs is chondroitin/dermatan sulfate (CS/DS), where the repeating disaccharide backbone cons
External financial flows geared towards Sub-Saharan Africa have provided new financing for investment opportunities, beyond the resources that are scarcely available domestically. Within the greater context of structural transformation in today’s globalized world, this thesis studied the dynamic effects of Official Development Assistance (ODA) and private capital flows on structural change in Sub-
The paper argues for the importance of seeing just how we conceptualise digital phenomena in relation to how the regulatory discourses. The Internet used to be an “information superhighway”, a “cyberspace”, or a “world wide web” often described as an empowering structure, that now has transformed to be understood in terms of “layers”, a generator of big data for a number of “platform” ventures and
Partially Premixed Combustion (PPC) has shown its potential by combining high combustion controllability with emission characteristics that are close to those of an HCCI engine. In order to get PPC the ignition delay needs to be long enough for the fuel and air to mix prior to combustion. This can be achieved by injecting the fuel sufficiently early while running with high EGR.In order to find out
