Ta några ingenjörsstudenter, släng in ett par kognitionsvetarstudenter och ge dem ett problem att lösa. Ut kommer interaktiva dataspel för skolan och robotar som kan imitera människors rörelser. – Vi kombinerar doing och thinking, säger Agneta Gulz, professor i kognitionsvetenskap.

In recent years, wave splitting in conjunction with invariant imbedding and Green’s function techniques has been applied with great success to a number of interesting inverse and direct scattering problems. The aim of the present paper is to derive a wave splitting for the Timoshenko equation, a fourth order PDE of importance in beam theory. An analysis of the hyperbolicity of the Timoshenko equat

Traditional linear time-invariant (LTI) control design assumes that measurements are taken at regular time intervals and have independent additive noise. A common practical case that violates this assumption is the use of encoders that give quantized position measurements; when the quantization is appreciable the measurement noise is far from LTI. This paper develops a simple event-based controlle

The genes for semenogelin I and II, the major protein constituents of the human seminal fluid, have been characterized by three overlapping clones in bacteriophage lambda, encompassing 31.5 kilobases (kb) of genomic DNA. The two genes are located 11.5 kb apart in the region q12-q13.1 on chromosome 20. Both genes are relatively compact, spanning only 2.7 and 3.1 kb, respectively. The transcription

A search for narrow baryonic resonances decaying into Ξ-π- or Ξ-π+ and their antiparticles is carried out with the H1 detector using deep inelastic scattering events at HERA in the range of negative photon four-momentum transfer squared 2 < Q2 < 100 GeV2. No signal is observed for a new baryonic state in the mass range 1600–2300 MeV in either the doubly charged or the neutral decay channels. The k

Recent work has highlighted the benefits of exploiting robust Capon beamformer (RCB) techniques in passive sonar. Unfortunately, the computational requirements for computing the standard RCB weights are cubic in the number of adaptive degrees of freedom, which may be computationally prohibitive in practical situations. Here, we examine recent computationally efficient techniques for computing the

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vatten är inte bara en oumbärlig resurs varav allt liv är beroende. Det är också en grundläggande ekonomisk resurs för samhällsutvecklingen. Av allt vatten på jorden är bara 0,34% tillgängligt för människan. Övriga vattenresurser föreligger som saltvatten, is eller djupt liggande grundvatten. Vattenkrisen på jorden är stor och över 780 miljoner människor saknar rimlig tFresh water scarcity, pollution and an uneven distribution have caused an increasingly serious global water crisis. One of the most widely adopted response strategies is the exploitation and use of non-conventional water sources. Water reuse and desalination were in focus in the study which was aimed to develop the strategies to promote the sustainable and safe use of reclaimed water and desalinat

We investigate the effect of symbol spreading on the performance of ultrawideband systems based on multiband OFDM. Ultrawideband channels offer the possibility of very high frequency diversity, as the used bandwidth is much larger than the coherence bandwidth of the channel. In multiband-OFDM, frequency diversity stems from (i) forward error correction coding, which distributes the symbols associa

In this thesis X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy,and density functional theory have been used to study the fundamental interactions between model oxidesurfaces and either organic, mixed organic/inorganic, or purely inorganic adsorbate layers. As model oxidesurfaces have served the rutile TiO2(110) surface and an in-situ grown iron oxide
