Associating SOM Representations of Haptic Submodalities

We have experimented with a bio-inspired selforganizingtexture and hardness perception system whichautomatically learns to associate the representations of the twosubmodalities with each other. To this end we have developeda microphone based texture sensor and a hardness sensor that measures the compression of the material at a constant pressure. The system is based on a novel variant of the Self-

Power converters for the magnets of the Linac Warm Units of ESS

ESS, the European Spallation Source, will be a major user facility at which researchers from academia and industry will investigate scientific questions using neutron beams. ESS will deliver its protons to a solid, rotating tungsten target, which will in turn generate neutrons. A linear accelerator (Linac) creates protons at the ion source, accelerates them to an appropriate energy and steers them

Channel shortening algorithms for multiple intersymbol interference channels

We consider channel shortening (CS) algorithms for communication systems where multiple single antenna nodes are transmitting single carrier signals to a single antenna receiver over known intersymbol interference channels. We discuss seven methods to shorten the intersymbol interference (ISI) channels, and the parameters are optimized from a generalized mutual information (GMI) perspective. The m

Recognizing Texture and Hardness by Touch

We have experimented with different neural network based architectures for bio-inspired self-organizing texture and hardness perception systems. To this end we have developed a microphone based texture sensor and a hardnesssensor that measures the compression of the material at a constant pressure.We have implemented and successfully tested both monomodal systems for texture and hardness perceptio

Kunskapsunderlag för socialtjänstens delaktighet i kommunala risk- och sårbarhetsanalyser (Sorsa)

I detta kunskapsunderlag presenteras Sorsamodellen. Modellen sätter kommunala risk- och sårbarhetsanalyser i centrum. Sociala risker uppmärksammas särskilt. Sorsamodellen åskådliggörs i form av en processkarta. I den illustreras processer, aktiviteter och rutiner. Den ger också illustrerande exempel hämtade från kommuner.Sorsamodellen tar sin utgångspunkt i att socialtjänstens bedömningar av riske

Temporal trend of autonomic nerve function and HSP27, MIF and PAI-1 in type 1 diabetes

Aim: Diabetes mellitus type 1 (T1D) has numerous complications including autonomic neuropathy, i.e. dysfunction of the autonomous nervous system. This study focuses on Heat Shock Protein 27 (HSP27), Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF), Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and HbA1c and their possible roles in effects of diabetes on the autonomic nervous system.Methods: Patients with Aim Diabetes mellitus type 1 (T1D) has numerous complications including autonomic neuropathy, i.e. dysfunction of the autonomous nervous system.

Differential effects of gaseous versus injectable anesthetics on changes in regional cerebral blood flow and metabolism induced by l-DOPA in a rat model of Parkinson's disease

Preclinical imaging of brain activity requires the use of anesthesia. In this study, we have compared the effects of two widely used anesthetics, inhaled isoflurane and ketamine/xylazine cocktail, on cerebral blood flow and metabolism in a rat model of Parkinson's disease and l-DOPA-induced dyskinesia. Specific tracers were used to estimate regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF - [(14)C]-iodoantipyri
