Actions and events are central to a semantics of natural language. In this article, we present a cognitively based model of these notions. After giving a general presentation of the theory of conceptual spaces, we explain how the analysis of perceptual concepts can be extended to actions and events. First, we argue that action space can be analyzed in the same way as, for example, colour space or

The generation of diversity for directed protein evolution experiments shows an important bottleneck in the in vitro random mutagenesis protocols. Most Of them are biased towards specific changes that eventually confer a predicted and conservative mutational spectrum, limiting the exploration of the vast protein space. The current work describes a simple methodology to in vivo recombine mutant lib

Aim: This thesis serves two purposes. First, it informs specialists in global public health to consider a broader spectrum of pediatric disease. Second, it informs specialists in pediatric hospital care of how the feasibility of their clinical practice depends on a functioning health care system. Methods: The papers contextualize pediatric disease entities that so far have received relatively sp

The amount of electrical loads and the complexity of the electric system in a vehicle is increasing at the same time as the allowed development time is decreasing. Possibilities to predict the electromagnetic behaviour is therefore of great importance. This paper addresses the problems of low frequency electromagnetic crosstalk between cables in a harness. Analytical expressions for estimation of

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ett nytt och experimentellt sätt att bota eller lindra sjukdomssymptom är att, istället för att tillföra en medicin, rätta till felet på en genetisk nivå. Detta kan åstadkommas genom att överföra nya, fungerande gener, sk transgener, till celler som då börjar producera protein, som i sin tur kan ge upphov till en terapeutisk effekt. I hjärnan skulle denna typ av behandlThe use of genetically modifi ed neural stem and progenitor cells could possibly be a future strategy for repairing a brain suffering from neurodegeneration. However, so far it has proven diffi cult to maintain sufficient levels of a transferred gene in suitable cell types, after transplantation. In the present thesis I studied the silencing of transgenes induced upon differentiation of neural pro

This article describes results of the work on knowledge representation techniques chosen for use in the European project SIARAS (Skill-Based Inspection and Assembly for Reconfigurable Automation Systems). Its goal was to create intelligent support system for reconfiguration and adaptation of robot-based manufacturing cells. Declarative knowledge is represented first of all in an ontology expressed

The current work of developing a control simulation benchmark goes back to the work carried out within the COST Action 682 (“Integrated Wastewater Management”) and the IAWQ Task Group on Respirometry-Based control of the Activated Sludge Process in the late 90s. The work was continued in COST Action 624 until 2003 (Copp 2002). In 2005, the IWA Task Group on Benchmarking of Control Strategies for W
