As a result of recent research discoveries and technological advancements within neuroscience, a growing interest in the brain and its functions permeates not only film studies, but also the field of humanities as a whole. Yet, the neuroscientific influence on contemporary film studies is not easily defined; on the contrary, film scholars with different starting points identify fundamentally diver
Two different rainfall-runoff models are applied to river basins in northern Sweden and Finland to study the effect of changed climate on peak flows. Hypothetical meteorological data series are constructed by increasing observed values by given amounts and fractions. In a Swedish moderately large basin snowmelt and daily precipitation were considered, and in two small Finnish basins, hourly precip
The mass spectra from the SF6 molecule acquired by energy-resolved electron ion coincidence (EREICO) technique using (1t1g + [5t1u,1t2u]), (3eg + 1t2g), 4t1u, and 5a1g electrons after both valence and S 2p−1 6a1g core excitation reveal a strong selectivity in the dissociation from these states. From the comparison of the obtained spectra, the influence of the core-excited state in the relaxation p
Human x mouse hybridoma cells were grown in dialysis tubing (DT) to obtain large quantities of human monoclonal antibodies (MAb). Hybridoma cells were grown inside the DT, which was placed in a tissue culture flask containing medium. The medium inside the DT was supplemented with different additives which may be selected depending on the intended use of the MAb. About 10-50 times higher concentrat
Scientific performance is often evaluated by bibliometric indicators such as publication counts or citations. But this may neglect other relevant outputs from research units. An optimal evaluation would measure each dimension separately, but this would be costly. Luckily, cluster analyses show that units which specialise in other types of research activities (such as knowledge transfer or educatio
The extension of businesses to incorporate the provision of function as a service in supplement to standalone products is an ongoing movement in manufacturing industry. In short, this means that the development intent should be guided by the need of ‘performance in use’ that the customer wants, e.g. thrust rather than an engine. By this, the established knowledge base challenges the development te
Program parallelization becomes increasingly important when new multi-core architectures provide ways to improve performance. One of the greatest challenges of this development lies in programming parallel applications. Using declarative languages, such as constraint programming, can make the transition to parallelism easier by hiding the parallelization details in a framework. Automatic parallel
There is nothing such as a standard person and a product will always exist in a context. It is of democratic importance to be able to take part in society on an equal level. Non-discriminating design tries to meet the diversity among users when new design solutions are created. Although functionality will remain an es-sential precondition for user satisfaction with products and market success, emo
A hot potato: food and meals in families with small children and teenagers. Introduction, with aims and hypothesis The project ‘Konsumenters problemlösningar på livsmedelsmarknadens nya arenor. Matinspiration under tidspress’ [‘Consumers’ problem-solving/solution to the food market’s new arenas: food inspiration against the clock’] initially addressed the following issue: shopping for food and p
This paper reports a new Modelica-based open source project entitled JModelica.org, targeted towards dynamic optimization. The objective of the project is to bridge the gap between the need for high-level description languages and the details of numerical optimization algorithms. JModelica.org is also intended as an extensible platform where algorithm developers, particularly in the academic commu
The aims of the workpackage: The objective of WP3 is to provide an overview of policy formation and deliberation across a number of regions and across a relatively broad timeframe (late 1980s to the present). As a mapping exercise it is intended to provide an initial comparative framework for further elaboration in more detailed country and regional case studies. WP3 offers a ‗helicopter view‘ of
Event publics are an empirical category that has hitherto remained untouched by the recent interest in the viability of a shared political public sphere at the European level. However, such event publics – understood as organized face-to-face encounters constituting concrete speaker-audience relationships – may turn out to play a relevant role in the construction of such a European public sphere.
Recent critics of organizational learning and its normative offshoot the ‘learning organization’ have posited that conceptualisations of organizations based on knowledge and learning constitute a rhetorical device enabling elites to assert different forms of control through a new ‘normalising discourse’. The paper, whilst welcoming such critique, nevertheless asks whether it is adequate to dismiss
This article explores the proposition that a reason for high agricultural productivity in the early nineteenth century was relatively high energy availability from draught animals. The article is based on the collection of extensive new data indicating different trends in draught power availability and the efficiency of its use in different countries of Europe. This article shows that the proposit
