Parameters affecting the survival of cultured and grafted embryonic neurons

The extent of behavioral recovery following neural transplantation in part depends on the amount of surviving graft tissue. The main objective of this thesis was to study parameters affecting the survival of embryonic striatal and mesencephalic neurons in experimental models of Huntington's and Parkinson's disease. Firstly, we studied the survival and maturation of embryonic striatal neurons that

The Century of the Sustainable City

Interactivity and Spatiality. Design of Future IT-enhanced Work Places

In this paper I will discuss interactivity and spatiality, including the relationships between technology-in-use, design and everyday practices. The paper reports some initial experiences from a field study at a technology-intensive control room and of using work-oriented approaches for collaborative design. In several studies a group of multidisciplinary researchers has carried out experiments of

Computer-Aided Planning of Adaptation of Homes for Disabled Persons

When adapting the home of a disabled person many people with different backgrounds and knowledge are involved in the planning phase. An essential feature in the planning process is a visualization technique which presents the suggested solution in a form that is easy to understand for everybody and can initiate constructive discussions. In this research project we demonstrate the possibility of us
