Our group of researchers from a variety of backgrounds has been investigating the possibility of improving vision for patients with central scotoma. So far, these patients have only been offered enlarging devices and training. We hope that new knowledge about the peripheral vision optics of the eye will result in improvements in image quality and that this can be helpful for people with low vision

This work describes a novel fully integrated inductive tongue computer interface for disabled people. The interface consists of an oral unit placed in the mouth, including inductive sensors, related electronics, a system for wireless transmission and a rechargeable battery. The system is activated using an activation unit placed on the tongue, and incorporates 18 inductive sensors, arranged in bot

In a large case-control study of Swedish incident type I diabetes patients and controls, 0–34 years of age, we tested the hypothesis that the GIMAP5 gene, a key genetic factor for lymphopenia in spontaneous BioBreeding rat diabetes, is associated with type I diabetes; with islet autoantibodies in incident type I diabetes patients or with age at clinical onset in incident type I diabetes patients.

Good quality time-domain IP data can be obtained using multi-electrode resistivity-IP equipment and standard electrode cable layouts at sites with favourable electrode contact. High contact resistances often result in low signal levels and capacitive coupling problems making the IP signals drown in noise. We tested an approach for measuring with separated cable spreads for current transmission and

Pragmadialektiikan maailmanvalloitus alkoi kaksikymmentäviisi vuotta sitten. Tänään se on yhtä tunnettu kuin jo viisikymmentä vuotta täyttäneet Toulminin ja Perelmanin uraauurtavat argumentaation teoriat. Arviot pragmadialektiikasta kuitenkin vaihtelevat huomattavan paljon. J. Anthony Blair on esimerkiksi luonnehtinut sitä maailman tärkeimmäksi argumentaation teoriaksi tänä päivänä. John Woodsin m

Broar över vattendrag utgör viktiga element i många transportsystem. Om broar kollapsar orsakas betydande problem med både direkta och indirekta kostnader för samhällsekonomin. Lokal erosion av botten kring broar är många gånger en huvudorsak till brokollaps, ofta i samband med extrema flödessituationer. Risken för sådan lokal erosion kan bli större i samband med en framtida klimatförändring, vilkBridges are important components in many transportation networks often spanning rivers and other water bodies. The failure of a bridge will cause significant direct and indirect economic losses to society. Scouring of the river bed around bridges is a principal mode of bridge failure typically associated with large floods. The risk of such scour may become higher with the emerging climate change t
