The tripod effect : Evolutionary perspectives on cooperation, cognition and communication

This article concerns the co-evolution of hominin cooperation, communication and cognition. Certain hominin ecologies seem to have relied on cognitive foresight. The capacity of planning for future needs, combined with more developed cooperative skills, opened up the cognitive niche of cooperation towards future goals. Such cooperation requires complex intersubjectivity (theory of mind). We analyz

Biokinetics and radiation dosimetry of 14C-labelled triolein, urea, glycocholic acid and xylose in man. Studies related to nuclear medicine “breath tests” using accelerator mass spectrometry

Popular Abstract in Swedish Upptag och omsättning samt dosimetri för 14C märkt fett, urea, gallsyra och xylos, i människa. Kol-14 (14C) används som radioaktivt spårämne vid patientundersökningar inom sjukvården och utnyttjas i stor utsträckning vid medicinsk forskning och vid utprovning av nya läkemedel på frivilliga försökspersoner. Eftersom 14C har mycket lång fysikalisk halveringstid (5730 år)14C-labelled substances have been used in biomedical research and clinical medicine for over 50 years. Physicians and scientists however, often hesitate to use these substances in patients and volunteers because the radiation dosimetry is unclear. In this work detailed long-term biokinetic and dosimetric estimation have been carried out for four clinically used 14C-breath tests: 14C-triolein (exam

The Messiah: In early Judaism and Christianity

The Messiah neatly surveys currents of messianic thought in the formative centuries of Judaism and Christianity, providing precision in thinking about "messianic" images and tradition. Leading scholars offer succinct and illuminating essays on the traditions that decisively shaped Jewish and Christian belief in a messiah. Includes two maps, a timeline of persons, events, and literature, and a glos

Adaptive Signal Management

This paper presents an adaptive signal management Modelica library, “SignalFlow”, interconnected with a C++ class library. The objective is to simplify the signal exchange in large simulation models based on modular designs, which should correspond to the signal flow for real applications by representing common networks as models with general interfaces. The library enables automatic configuration

Apery Limits of Differential Equations of Order 4 and 5

The concept of Apery limit for second and third order differential equations is extended to fourth and fifth order equations, mainly of Calabi-Yau type. For those equations obtained from Hadamard products of second and third order equations we can prove that the limits are determined in terms of the factors by a certain formula. Otherwise the limits are found by using PSLQ in Maple and are only co

A 100-fJ/cycle Sub-VT Decimation Filter Chain in 65 nm CMOS

Measurements of a sub-threshold (sub-VT) decimation filter, composed of four half band digital (HBD) filters in 65 nm CMOS are presented. Different unfolded architectures are analyzed and implemented to combat speed degradation. The architectures are analyzed for throughput and energy efficiency over several threshold options. Reliability in the sub-VT domain is analyzed by Monte-Carlo simulations

Free will and the human act in seventeenth century Eastern Orthodox theology

This article analyses the doctrine of free will (autexousion) in the confessions of St. Peter Mogila and Dositheos II Notaras of Jerusalem. Free will is a central concept in Eastern Christian anthropology and these two monuments of theology represent how the understanding of the concept of free will developed in Eastern Orthodox theology in the context of the confrontation with Western theologies

The hotel check-in as a rite of incorporation: Enchantments of inclusion and exclusion

Introduction The hotel check-in is usually treated as a facilitating service as it is often assumed only to facilitate the use of the core service i.e. the lodging. In addition the check-in is a highly standardized process, which is repeatedly performed every day. Being only one part of the front office’s duties executed at the reception desk, it is usually given scant attention from management. L

Techniques for Distributed Access and Visualisation in Computational Mechanics

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling berör metoder för hur beräkningsmekaniken kan förbättras med avseende på förbättrad och effektiv användning av verktyg och resurser. Den berör också ideér för hur verktyg i beräkningsmekanik skall kunna tillämpas i områden där dessa ej tidigare använts. Tre huvudområden har studerats: Effektiv och transparent tillgång till finita element applikationer, This work concern ideas and methods on how the context of computational mechanics can be improved for more efficient utilisation and extended into areas previously not familiar with or capable of using such tools. Three main areas were studied: Providing efficient and transparent access to finite element applications, development of methods for the visualisation of complex phenomena and improving

Methods to estimate stakeholder views of sustainability for construction projects

The new challenge for a construction project management is to meet the demands of sustainable construction, defined by ecological, economical, social and cultural variables. During a facilities lifecycle various activities involves a significant number of stakeholders. It could be those stakeholders who directly are involved, e.g. architects, facility managers or users, and those who more or less
