Visual Perception—a matter of “filling in” the gaps

This presentation discusses how perception of pictures, of foremost faces, might be processed in the brain. Research in cognitive psychology suggests that pictures of faces are processed in to some extent specific areas of the brain (fusiform gyrus), than those showing other objects. Pictures of faces seem to be perceived in a holistic way, that is, dealt with in parallel (several features are pro

Development and application of advanced electron microscopy techniques for materials in biological systems

Theoretically, electron microscopy and scanning probe microscopy offer information on a scale beyond the optical microscope. However, the quality of the micrograph and the obtained information is limited by the sample preparation. Each sample has its own characteristics that need special precautions, meaning that sample preparation is a continuously developing science. In this thesis several micro

Locating Value in Moral Progress

The endeavour to locate value in moral progress faces various substantive as well as more formal challenges. This paper focuses on challenges of the latter kind. After some preliminaries, Section 3 introduces two general kinds of “evaluative moral progress-claims”, and outlines a possible novel analysis of a (quasi) descriptive notion of moral progress. While Section 4 discusses certain logical fe

The evolution and organization of multigene families exemplified by the hordein genes in barley

Hordein, the seed storage protein in barley, is encoded by a multigene family. All wild and cultivated species of the Hordeum genus were investigated electrophoretically and imunologically for their hordein composition. The reactions of specific monoclonal antibodies showed that particular polypeptide regions have been conserved throughout the genus. Some of the regions could also be recognize in
