In a series of studies, the functional organization of cerebellar regions contributing to the control of forelimb movements via the rubro- and corticospinal tracts has been characterized in the cat. The system consists of the cerebellar cortical C1, C3 and Y zones and their efferent intracerebellar nucleus, the interpositus anterior. Based on analyses of cutaneous and muscle afferent climbing fibr
Soil compaction caused by passage of logging machinery reduces the soil air capacity. Changed abiotic factors might induce a change in the soil microbial community and favour organisms capable of tolerating anoxic conditions. The goals of this study were to resolve differences between soil microbial communities obtained from wheel-tracks (i.e. compacted) and their adjacent undisturbed sites, and t
Repeated ribs are frequently employed to promote turbulence and to enhance heat transfer in various ducts. In the present study, liquid crystal thermography was applied to the study of heat transfer from a square channel having one surface heated at uniform heat flux and roughened by repeated ribs. The continuous and truncated ribs, having square sections, with height-to-hydraulic diameter ratio o
The Cromer blood group system consists of eight high incidence and three low incidence antigens carried on decay-accelerating factor (DAF). This report describes the identification and characterization of a new Cromer high incidence antigen, named SERF. Sequence analyses of DNA from a Thai female whose serum contained the alloantibody to a high incidence antigen in the Cromer blood group system (a
Requirements engineering for market-driven software development entails special challenges. This paper presents results from an empirical study that investigates these challenges, taking a qualitative approach using interviews with fourteen employees at eight software companies and a focus group meeting with practitioners. The objective of the study is to increase the understanding of the area of
The fundamental question posed in this study is how to approach the construction sector in order to cover its wide scope of activities, its great variety of actors and the external influences on it from the market and institutional environment. Construction includes such diverse economic activities as new production and as repair/maintenance, itinerant production and stationary manufacture, the pr
Mobility constitutes an important aspect in order to create quality of life, where a well working public transportation can decrease the level of stress and create more “flow” in the everyday life (Atkins 2009). However, not all individuals have the mobility prerequisites; for people with disabilities, the preconditions of movement are limited. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the accessi
The long-range, pheromone-mediated, flight behaviour of male moths under natural and mating disruption conditions was monitored by means of harmonic radar. Individual male turnip moths, Agrotis segetum (Denis & Schiffermüller) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), tagged with radar transponders, were released and tracked in plots with or without disruptive doses of sex pheromone. In addition, male attract
This paper presents an iterative detector that, by thresholding the output of the matched filter, gives maximum-likelihood sequence detector (MLSD) decisions on binary, antipodally modulated symbols that have been corrupted by intersymbol interference and additive Gaussian noise. The detector will make decisions on some, but often not all, of the symbols in a transmitted sequence, and those decisi
Electrical power distribution is currently seeing both challenges and opportunities. On one hand, the digitisation of measurement data and modern measurement devices enable deeper analysis and planning of the grid. On the other hand, the expansion of privately owned photovoltaic systems and the customers' desire to produce their own electricity is an inevitable challenge that distribution comp
The many-body problem is one of the most challenging problems in physics due to the complexity emerging from the interactions of many quantum particles. Since the advent of computers with increasing power, computational methods have been very successful in providing insight and precise solutions to this problem. We give an introduction to two canonically used methods, density functional theory and
Humanitarian organizations transitioning from a service provider (SP) to a capacity strengthener (CS) in countries where there is political stability and economic growth presents a set of opportunities and challenges. Despite this there has been limited research studies that have been conducted on the transition of humanitarian organizations in this context. The overall objective of this research
For many years, the management and treatment of people who suffer from comorbidity between substance abuse and mental illness have been a great challenge for both social services and psychiatry. As early as the second half of the 20th century there have been ongoing discussions concerning problematic aspects of the division of responsibilities and collaboration between the central authorities. The
An indirect 125I-labeled protein A assay for detection of cell surface-bound rat immunoglobulins is presented. The assay is quantitative and rapid and detects as little as 1 ng of cell surface-bound Ig. It discriminates between antibodies belonging to different IgG subclasses, IgM and IgA. We describe the production and specificity control of the reagents used and show that the test can be used fo

Finding a non-intrusive way of detecting human presence and counting the number of people in a room poses a challenging problem. This thesis presents a solution to said problem, utilizing ultrasound signals. Analysis of the echo and reverberation of ultrasound signals provides acoustic information about the surrounding environment, which is altered by potential occupants. By employing such a techn
Background Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of antibiotics in children is of fundamental importance for effective patient management. The use of dried blood spot (DBS) offers a number of advantages over conventional blood collection. The aim of this study is to develop and validate a method to measure piperacillin/tazobactam in DBS. Results The analysis was performed by using LC-MS/MS operating i
In his commentary on our article on phenomenological subtypes of highly suggestible individuals (Terhune & Cardeña, in press), Kumar (in press) argues that methodological differences between our studies and previous research on highly suggestible subtypes temper our ability to link the two and that it is unclear whether the existence of phenomenological subtypes has implications for hypnothera
BACKGROUND: Primary cervical screening with both human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA testing and cytological examination of cervical cells with a Pap test (cytology) has been evaluated in randomized clinical trials. Because the vast majority of women with positive cytology are also HPV DNA positive, screening strategies that use HPV DNA testing as the primary screening test may be more effective. METHO
