The nocturnal helmet gecko, Tarentola chazaliae, discriminates colors in dim moonlight when humans are color blind. The sensitivity of the helmet gecko eye has been calculated to be 350 times higher than human cone vision at the color vision threshold. The optics and the large cones of the gecko are important reasons why they can use color vision at low light intensities. Using photorefractometry
Data from three experiments using the heavy-ion fusion evaporation-reaction Ar-36+Si-28 have been combined to study high-spin states in the residual nucleus Ni-60, which is populated via the evaporation of four protons from the compound nucleus Ge-64. The GAMMASPHERE array was used for all the experiments in conjunction with a 4 pi charged-particle detector arrays (MICROBALL, LUWUSIA) and neutron
The Camassa-Holm (CH) and Hunter-Saxton (HS) equations have an interpretation as geodesic flow equations on the group of diffeomorphisms, preserving the H-1 and. H-1 right-invariant metrics correspondingly. There is an analogy to the Euler equations in hydrodynamics, which describe geodesic flow for a right-invariant metric on the infinite-dimensional group of diffeomorphisms preserving the volume
Using cardiac computed tomography (CT), images of both the left and right ventricle can be acquired. Potential findings of interest are for example enlarged ventricles or inadequate pumping, which can be used for diagnosis. The analysis requires that the ventricles are outlined, either manually or automatically. Automated segmentation methods for clinical use exist for the left ventricle but not f
Denna studie undersöker om det finns en koppling mellan minskade symtom av utmattningssyndrom och förbättrad affektreglering. Tjugosex patienter med utmattningssyndrom utifrån Socialstyrelsens kriterier deltog i 6 till 14 KBT- (11 patienter) eller PDT/IPT-fokuserade (15 patienter) behandlingstillfällen som fokuserade på symtomlindring och ökad uppmärksamhet på olika kroppsliga sensationer: utmattnThe present study examines if there is a link between symptom reduction of exhaustion and improved affect regulation. Twenty-six patients with exhaustion disorder according to National Board of Health and Welfare (NBHW) criteria participated in 6 to 14 CBT-based (11 patients) or PDT/IPT-based treatment (15 patients) sessions focusing on symptom reduction and attunement to various bodily sensations
In 1880 Serhiy A. Podolynsky (1850–1891) described the human economy as a metabolic flow of energy and was later praised for it by ecologist Vladimir Vernadsky, whereas his work encountered strong criticism by Friedrich Engels. However, the notes taken by Karl Marx were rather neutral in tone. In this article, we use primary sources in Ukrainian and Russian, including Vernadsky’s diaries and corre
Second language acquisition (SLA) research has historically prioritized classroom-based contexts, with the exception of areas such as study abroad, incidental and self-directed learning. In the last decades, however, research interest in second language (L2) learning beyond the classroom has grown substantially, expanding our understanding of where and how L2 learning takes place. This can be larg
Ecosystem services (ES) are an increasingly popular policy framework for connecting biodiversity with human well-being. These efforts typically assume that biodiversity and ES covary, but the relationship between them remains remarkably unclear. Here we analyse >500 recent papers and show that reported relationships differ among ES, methods of measuring biodiversity and ES, and three different app
Development and how to reach economic growth have been discussed and talked about since the Industrial revolution in Europe pushed productivity and wages up but the models have changed over time and space. The most successful ones seems to build on traditional patterns of agriculture and growing domestic markets, but with a growing global market and new players on the world market can it be that t
The latest global financial crisis ignited the debate on whether the role of monetary policy's main objective, price stability, is enough to achieve financial stability. It also sparked an interest of new policy measures that directly targets the financial system, such as macroprudential policies. In this study, we empirically investigate how monetary and macroprudential policies interact to a
This thesis focuses on the integration of management control system (MCS) and sustainability in companies. Some literatures showed a disconnection between the efficiency of sustainability as a success strategy and management control systems. To research this, we aim at answer two questions. What are the challenges that the companies were faced with when they tried to integrate MCS and sustainabili
