Den här volymen består av en serie bidrag på temat filosofins nytta. Frågan om filosofins nytta har varit utgångspunkten för de enskilda texterna, men har inte satt gränser för innehållet i dem. Bidragen skär in i varandra på många olika sätt. Att gruppera dem har inte varit lätt. Därför uppmanas läsaren att pröva andra kombinationer än den vi fastnat för. I detta förord vill vi ge en kort beskriv

The state-of-art of reliability studies in the area of fire-exposed structures or structural members is illustrated, taking examples from published papers concerning load-bearing building structures of steel, reinforced concrete, and wood. In parallel, trends are described in the present development of rational structural fire design methods, principally adapted to modern loading and safety philos

Energy conservation is a large part of the NLO corrections to BFKL. A formalism is presented which includes effects of energy-momentum conservation in the dipole formalism in transverse coordinate space. Energy conservation gives a very strong suppression at small x, which implies that the effect of multi-pomeron exchange and saturation are pushed to very small x-values or very high energies. Pert

The Epistle to the Hebrews has been an exceptionally significant text in Christian-Jewish relations. In particular, certain passages have been interpreted in ways that assume that Christianity supersedes Judaism. In this article it is argued that reading the epistle without presupposing supersessionism, Heb. will be acknowledged as one of those subject matters which, in the words of Nostra Aetate,

In this thesis, lipid biosynthesis is discussed focussing on the genes and enzymes involved in the final step of storage lipid synthesis, on the enzyme phospholipase A2, and on cell membrane lipid homeostasis. The investigation of lipid metabolism revealed that in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, there are four genes that are essential for the final step of storage lipid biosynthesis; ARE1, ARE2, DGA1, a

The interest in diffusion imaging with nuclear magnetic resonance techniques has increased during the last few years. The main reason is the possibility of early diagnosis of acute ischaemic stroke, at a time when conventional MR techniques and computerised tomography fail. The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate methods for the measurement of water self-diffusion in vivo using magne

Two-tone frequency modulation spectroscopy (TTFMS) is applied to the determination of water activity using an 820-nm GaAlAs diode laser. By measuring the relative light absorption of water vapor over a solution and over a pure water reference, the water activity in the solution is determined. Fast, nonintrusive, and selective measurements are demonstrated. The detection limit for measuring a relat

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen berör det så kallade "struktur och rörelse"-problemet som är centralt inom datorseendefältet. Målet är att givet tvådimensionella bilder av ett föremål, kunna återskapa dess tredimensionella form och koordinater i rummet, dvs strukturen, samtidigt med kamerans position relativt objektet i varje bild, dvs rörelsen. Inom robotiken kallas tekniken för "simultaThis thesis presents contributions to structure-and-motion estimation, a central topic in the field of geometric computer vision. In particular, the problem of view planning is considered, and continuous and discrete optimization-based algorithms are given for how to plan the path of a sensor to its destination, while balancing the competing goals of path length and reconstruction accuracy.
