The modifier effect is the reduction in perceived likelihood of a generic property sentence, when the head noun is modified. We investigated the prediction that the modifier effect would be stronger for mutable than for central properties, without finding evidence for this predicted interaction over the course of five experiments. However Experiment 6, which provided a brief context for the modifi
The transition quadrupole moments Q(t) for the superdeformed band in Ca-40 have been determined through thin-target Doppler-shift attenuation analyses. A best-fit value of Q(t)=1.30+/-0.05 e b is obtained when a single value is assumed for the entire band. Fitting separate quadrupole moments for in-band transitions decaying from the high-spin states and the presumably admixed low-spin states resul
Despite the recognised importance of the concept of acceptance, how and why new technologies are actually accepted by drivers is not well understood. While many studies claim to have measured acceptance, few have defined what it is. The chapter points out the importance of defining acceptance and categorizes the definitions that have been used according to their “essence” and the various dimension
Subud is one of hundreds mystical movements (aliran kebatinan) that increased significantly in post-war Indonesia. Along with other movements like Sumarah and Pangestu, Subud has attracted people from the West and is now spread in about eighty countries. Despite the fact that Subud leaders deny any relation to the Javanese mystical tradition, it is one of the tasks of this study to show that the g
Popular Abstract in Swedish Arbetet med denna avhandling har handlat om hormon-känsligt lipas (HKL) och dess roll i β-cellerna, som producerar insulin och finns i bukspottskörteln. För att senare kunna beskriva vad vi har kommit fram till och vad det kan innebära, kommer jag först att kort beskriva HKL och sjukdomen diabetes. Hormon-känsligt lipas Hormon-känsligt lipas (HKL) är ett enzym, som fiHormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) is a key enzyme in fatty acid mobilization. It is acutely regulated by extracellular signals via reversible phosphorylation. In the recent past, the focus of type 2 diabetes research has moved towards the lipid component. Lipids interfere with glucose homeostasis in a multitude of ways; they can decrease insulin sensitivity of tissues and cause β-cell dysfunction. Co
