In this position paper we present methodological considerations from a project in which we have collaborated with people with cognitive difficulties and university students. For people with considerable difficulties in communicating, a new means of expressing their dreams was required. Cultural probes were used to inspire, inform and surprise in the design process: situated probing.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Livets minsta beståndsdel, cellen, omges av ett membran som avgränsar den från omvärlden. För att hålla den inre miljön kontrollerad måste cellen kunna styra transporten av olika ämnen över membranet, vilket görs med hjälp av olika proteiner. Dessa proteiner kan antingen vara energikrävande pumpar och transportörer som aktivt förflyttar substanser över membranet, eller Major Intrinsic Proteins (MIPs, also called Aquaporins, AQPs) are channel forming membrane proteins. Although initially functionally characterized and named after their water channeling property in human red blood cells, it has become increasingly evident that MIPs are present in all types of organisms and transport a variety of small, uncharged molecules besides water. MIPs have a highly conserve

Popular Abstract in Swedish En halvledare är en kristall vars egenskaper till stor del bestäms av dess bandgap, som i någon mening kan ses som lägesenergin hos fria elektroner i kristallen. En kvantprick är en liten volym halvledarmaterial som är inbäddad i ett annat material med större bandgap. Det gör att volymen attraherar laddning eftersom elektroner (precis som allt annat) helst minimerar sinThis thesis presents spectroscopic studies of single self-assembled InP quantum dots (QDs). The electronic properties of these QDs have been studied by photoluminescence (PL) and scanning tunnelling luminescence (STL). The QDs were grown in the Stranski-Krastanow mode and were embedded in GaInP. This material is slightly n-type, giving a Fermi-level close to the conduction band edge at low temper

Analysis of the novel "Gli indifferenti" by Italian novelist Alberto Moravia

An article to be presented at the seminar “Breakdown and other Technological Phenomena”– directed by Professor Don Ihde to be held during the fall term of 2010 at the Techno-science Research Group; Department of Philosophy, Stony Brook University Aristotle understood the word “accident” as an attribute of a class or a thing that is not essential. The word comes from Latin accidentum meaning “some

Cooling is an energy consuming operation in the food industry. Rapid cooling reduces the risk of growth of micro-organisms, improves the quality of the food product and increase the production rate.

This paper presents a method based on the phase dierence of arrival and the non-linear least square estimation to lo- calize a radio-frequency (RF) source, e.g a wireless capsule endoscope, inside the human body. The phase dierence of arrival at multiple frequencies of a signal is used to estimate the distance of the source to a receiver. The linear least square estimation is used to estimate the
