Distribute white and black hats in a dark room to a group of three rational players with each player having a fifty-fifty chance of receiving a hat of one colour or the other. Clearly, the chance that, as a result of this distribution, (A) "Not all hats are of the same colour" is 3/4. The light is switched on and all players can see the hats of the other persons, but not the colour of their own ha

Mergers of autonomous executive authorities in central government have become increasingly common, in particular in the Nordic countries. As compared to private sector mergers, the role of the principal (the central Government and its ministries) is more obscure in these mergers, this chapter argues. When problems arise in a merger, the ministry can take a step back and shift to a stakeholder posi

We make in this chapter a first probe into the lexical domain of eating and drinking as it is construed in the Aslian languages, a branch of the Austroasiatic language family spoken by a majority of the Orang Asli of the Malay Peninsula. Fundamental to human experience and representation, the domain of ingestion has received increased linguistic attention in recent years. Setting out from our own

“The eyes lead the body.” A good visual environment is important for performance and wellbeing. Unsatisfactory visual conditions often induce a strained posture, more or less unconsciously, in an effort to improve vision. The requirements for the visual environment in an operating theatre are high. Surgeons or assistants who are having visual problems can induce treatment hazards. The purpose of t

This short encyclopedia article looks at the nomenclature and organizing logics of the field of mass media research. Four 'schools' of research are highlighted: the mainstream social science legacy, the various critical traditions, the culturalist perspective, and policy horizons.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Multikonjugerad Adaptiv Optik för Astronomiska Teleskop 1. Atmosfärisk turbulens Allt sedan man på 1600-talet började bruka optiska instrument inom astronomin, för att understödja det mänskliga ögat då man beskådade stjärnhimlen, har astronomer strävat efter att bygga allt större och bättre teleskop för att kunna se längre ut i rymden och skönja allt ljussvagare objekt.This work analyses several aspects of multi-conjugate adaptive optics (MCAO) for astronomy. The research ranges from fundamental and technical studies for present-day MCAO projects, to feasibility studies of high-order MCAO instruments for the extremely large telescopes (ELTs) of the future. The first part is an introductory exposition on atmospheric turbulence, adaptive optics (AO) and MCAO, esta
