Scholars of European fable history over and over again have returned to the question of a possible death of the Aesopic genre. Arguments have been brought forward in accordance with mainly two opposing views. On the one hand, it has been claimed that the fable genre towards the end of the eighteenth century reached a stage of crisis and, more or less, perished. On the other hand, it has been asser

To further promote cardiovascular research there is a growing need for arterial characterization on small animals. Arterial wall movement measurements form the basis for most stiffness related parameters. As far as we know, previous reports on lumen diameter change measurements in small animals have required ECG triggering and cross-correlation techniques on the RF-signal using extremely high fram

A fully integrated 0.6 V 2.6 mA VCO aimed for the GPS L1 band is realized in a 90 nm CMOS process. The VCO operates at 6.3 GHz and a divide-by-four circuit buffer provide the wanted 1575.42 MHz signal. The VCO has a measured phase noise of-103 dBc/Hz at 100kHz offset and a chip area of 1.15mm ², including bondpads.

This paper describes an attempt to provide more intelligence to industrial robotics and automation systems. We develop an architecture to integrate disparate knowledge representations used in different places in robotics and automation. This knowledge integration framework, a possibly distributed entity, abstracts the components used in design or production as data sources, and provides a uniform

Time is a fundamental aspect of human cognition and action. All languages have developed rich means to express various facets of time, such as bare time spans, their position on the time line, or their duration. The articles in this volume give an overview of what we know about the neural and cognitive representations of time that speakers can draw on in language. Starting with an overview of the

Popular Abstract in Swedish När födan efter en måltid kommer ned i tunntarmen, utsöndras ett protein som heter cholecystokinin, förkortat CCK, ifrån tarmslemhinnan till blodet. Ett ämne som frisätts på detta sätt till blodcirkulationen för att påverka celler i andra organ i kroppen kallas för hormon. CCK påverkar gallblåsan till att dra ihop sig och tömma sitt innehåll samtidigt som bukspottkörtelCholecystokinin (CCK) is known to exert secretory and trophic effects on the pancreas. Its release from the intestinal mucosa is regulated by pancresic proteases in the small intestine. However, knowledge about the type of responding exocrine cells and the time course of events during stimulation with CCK is lacking. Further, the role of CCK in the regulation of growth in other digestive organs is

Analysis of the poem "Rifbjerg!" by Danish writer Klaus Rifbjerg

We present a method for developing dynamically reduced chemical mechanisms based on the quasi steady state assumption and a domain splitting procedure. This procedure carries out the reduction within each domain separately according to a steady state selection parameter valid for the corresponding domain. The domains are defined according to a clustering algorithm. The method is applied to calcula

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund Avsikten med denna studie har varit att värdera om det idag föreligger tecken som tyder på att utvecklingen av diagnostiska hjälpmedel och behandlingsmetoder vid cancer i bukspottkörteln har åtföljts av en förbättrad prognos, samt att värdera vilken roll rökning och magsårsoperation kan ha för uppkomsten av sjukdomen. Pancreascancer, cancer i bukspottkörteln, The objective of this thesis has been to assess whether there are indications suggesting that new methods for diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic carcinoma (PCa) has been followed by an improved prognosis, and to assess the possible role of smoking and gastric resection in the causation of the disease. Of the 1,200 new cases PCa diagnosed in Sweden yearly, the majority are older than 70 years,
