Professor Don Ihde introduced the term ‗visualism‘ in his book Expanding Hermeneutics; Visualism in Science, from 1998. The introduction of the term aimed to the development of a hermeneutics of science focusing in ‗visualization‘ of mental contents as the typical bearer of scientific truth. Ihde proposes the expansion of hermeneutical studies to the field of technoscience making a phenomenologica

Vapor pressures of five methyl-substituted dicarboxylic acids are inferred from measurements of evaporation rates of sub-micron particles using the TDMA technique at ambient temperatures. Vapor pressures values are given. These vapor pressures are compared witha vailable literature data and withv apor pressures of the un-substituted acids. Our results demonstrate that molecular structure is import

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hur börjar en infektion och vad avgör vem som drabbas? Hur ser den sjukdomsframkallande bakterien ut, och hur försvarar vi oss mot dess angrepp? Vi studerar dessa frågor med urinvägsinfektioner som modell. De flesta urinvägsinfektioner orsakas av E. coli bakterier med speciella ytstrukturer som de använder för att angripa slemhinnan i urinvägarna. Genom sin starka förmUrinary tract infections (UTI) are among the most common infections in man. Despite their prevalence, information on the molecular mechanisms defects that explain the increased susceptibility to disease are lacking. This study focused on mucosal inflammation and the molecular mechanisms by which uropathogenic Escherichia coli activate this response. P fimbriae are expressed by most E. coli strain

Popular Abstract in English In biotechnological industries, downstream processing is a bottleneck in the complete production process. There is a wish to reduce the costs and therefore one tries to operate separation technology in continuous mode. Conventional SMB is a continuous countercurrent separation process, which is based on mathematical modeling and simulation studies for separation of binIn biotechnological industries, downstream processing is a bottleneck in the complete production process. There is a wish to reduce the costs and therefore one tries to operate separation technology in continuous mode. Conventional SMB is a continuous countercurrent separation process, which is based on mathematical modeling and simulation studies for separation of binary mixtures of components.

Parallel architectures are essential in order to take advantage of the parallelism inherent in streaming applications. One particular branch of these employ hardware SIMD pipelines. In this paper, we analyse several scheduling techniques, namely ad hoc overlapped execution, modulo scheduling and modulo scheduling with unrolling, all of which aim to efficiently utilize the special architecture desi

Melanin is one of the major pigments of vertebrates and has many suggested functions. Although it is supposed to have an antipathogenic effect, its relationship to infection with ecto- and endoparasites largely remains to be examined. The common buzzard Buteo buteo occurs in three eumelanin morphs which differ in their lifetime reproductive success. We examined the distribution of the blood-suckin

Our group of researchers from a variety of backgrounds has been investigating the possibility of improving vision for patients with central scotoma. So far, these patients have only been offered enlarging devices and training. We hope that new knowledge about the peripheral vision optics of the eye will result in improvements in image quality and that this can be helpful for people with low vision
