An algorithm for estimation of event related signals dis-turbed by coloured noise, e.g. Evoked Potentials disturbed byEEG, has been investigated. The method is based on GeneralSingular Value Decomposition, GSVD, and estimates a singleEvoked Potential without averaging. There are no assumptionsabout the model for the EEG. The EP is described as a sum ofdamped sinusoids. The algorithm is tested with

A study is done concerning event related potentials in coloured noise, such as evoked potential signals (EP) in EEG. Two estimators, both based on the least square version of the Prony method, combined with singular value decomposition, have been investigated. The EP is described by a sum of damped sinusoids in both estimators. In the first estimator the noise is described by an ARMA—process and in

PurposeThe activities of academic researchers are increasingly regulated by neo-liberal ideals, including expectations that researchers are visible online and actively promote their output. The purpose of this paper is to explore how researchers take on this responsibility. It uses the concepts of genre, authorship and self-writing in order to understand how the story of an academic life is constr

Many analyses and debates developed in the last decades around trade unions’ revitalisation, pointing to different national traditions in the varieties of capitalism. Gender equality adds a new perspective to these debates, showing that women can be a crucial test for, and an instrument of, trade union revitalisation. In the current situation in Italy, what are the main challenges facing working w

The paper’s title evokes a conversation; in fact it has been constructed like a joint revisitation of Bianca Beccalli’s forty years work on labour, gender, and politics, reconsidering old challenges and facing emergent ones. The paper deals with two levels of analysis: a historical and sociological interpretation of social movements, work, and politics on the one side, while dealing on the other s

There is a clear need for debate about targeted policies to address individual behaviour and car mileage. In this study, the point of departure is that we need more knowledge regarding travel behaviour focusing on the needed reduction in car mileages. The study illustrates a series of travel behaviour analyses that can be applied in any other country striving for more detailed knowledge of the cha

In the census of 2011 in India, more than 2500 new settlements have been classified as urban. Placed under the category of ‘census towns’, not much is known about the urbanization processes unfolding at these sites. This article presents learnings from a qualitative case study of a town in West Bengal, to argue that not only do census towns represent a subaltern urbanization but also that they are

The aim of this study was to determine the photon energy dependence of absorbed dose measurements, in a comparison of optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) in NaCl with thermoluminescence (TL) in LiF:Mg,Cu,P. The comparisons were made at exposure to ionizing radiation in the photon energy range 20 keV to 1.3 MeV. Specially designed dosemeter kits containing both NaCl and LiF were used under i) l

Background: Gender, possibly due to the influence of gonadal hormones, is presumed to play a role in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS), but no studies have evaluated whether male infertility is associated with MS. Objective: To study the association between male factor infertility and prevalent as well as incident MS. Method: Our cohort was established by linkage of the Danish National i

This paper describes two systems of whistleblowing: 1) the U.S. Government whistleblower program for unethical behaviour in corporations, where the whistleblower can receive up to 30% of the reward based on the size of the violation (the highest payment to date is 30 million dollars!) and 2) the citizen informing programs in Denmark and Sweden where citizens can upload 'evidence' (fotos, videos) t
