When it comes to measuring attention, or quantifying it in any way, it is not easy to pin down what exactly we measure. Advances in technology have enabled the construction of complex models of certain aspects of attention and identified many of the structures and factors involved in the changing nature of attention. In this chapter, we will go with a working definition of attention as the concent

The meaning of the word cavitation is not known or understandable for many people. The definition which is commonly known about such phenomena is that the formation of cavities or bubbles is encouraged by a pressure change in the surroundings. However, cavitation is much more complex. A large amount of research work and studies on the dynamics of the cavitation phenomenon via numerical investigati

Twin and family studies have established that there is a strong genetic basis for autism spectrum disorders. To facilitate the identification of susceptibility genes and to study pathways from gene-brain to cognition a more refined endophenotype-based approach may be useful. The purpose of the present study was to examine the neurocognitive endophenotype of autism, in families with multiple incide

Popular Abstract in Swedish Potatis har varit, och är fortfarande ett viktigt baslivsmedel i svensk kosthållning. Det finns många sorter med olika egenskaper vilket bidrar till dess variationsrikedom. Potatisen är en rik källa till stärkelse, kostfibrer samt vitaminer och mineraler, t ex C-vitamin och järn. En invändning mot potatis ur nutritionell synvinkel är att stärkelsen lätt bryts ned av enzDespite decreased consumption potatoes still constitute an important staple in the Swedish diet. An objection to potatoes and potato products from a nutritional point of view is the ease by which the starch is digested and absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. This results in unfavourably high glycaemic and insulinaemic responses (glycaemic index, GI and insulinaemic index, II, respectively). Su

Shock waves are discontinous solutions to quasi-linear partial differential equations, and can be studied through a singular perturbation known as the vanishing viscosity technique. The vanishing viscosity method is a means of smoothing the shock, and we study the case of electromagnetic waves in bianisotropic materials. We derive the conditions arising from this smoothing procedure for a traveling

A great deal of attention is currently being paid in urban sociology to the relationship between place and identity. The background to the growing interest in the identity development of individuals can be found in the radical changes the city is presently undergoing. These changes have often been described in terms of the dissolving city, a concept that not only refers to the continuing physical/

The use of hygrothermal calculation tools for dimensional purposes in the design phase is common. However, used tools are usually not blindly verified in real, on-site conditions. This paper present a method for verification of hygrothermal calculation tools for real-life, situations. In the method calculations become carried out before the measurement results are known, i.e. by blind calculations
