1. 16. Learning Object Properties From Manipulation for Manipulation

   Författare :Püren Güler; Danica Kragic; Jeremy L. Wyatt; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; robotics; manipulation; object properties; simulation; machine learning; object tracking; active exploration; sensory integration; Computer Science; Datalogi;

   Sammanfattning : The world contains objects with various properties - rigid, granular, liquid, elastic or plastic. As humans, while interacting with the objects, we plan our manipulation by considering their properties. For instance, while holding a rigid object such as a brick, we adapt our grasp based on its centre of mass not to drop it. LÄS MER

3. 17. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of touch, cold and warmth in health, neuropathic pain and fibromyalgia

   Författare :Eva-Liz Harju; Gary B Rollman; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Ongoing pain; tactile and thermal dys function; perceived intensity; Master Scaling; perceived quality; Känsel; Smärta; fysiologisk psykologi; Fibromyalgi; psykologi; Psychology;

   Sammanfattning : The general aim of the present thesis is to examine tactile and thermal perceptual (dys)function by quantitative and qualitative tests of patients with neuropathic pain or fibromyalgia, and to compare results with those of healthy persons. A specific aim is to provide individual data for diagnostic purposes, specific to touch, cold, and warmth (profiles). LÄS MER

4. 18. Functional mapping of somatosensory cortices in the human brain

   Författare :Anna S K Bodegård; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Sornatosensory areas; PET; cytoarchitectonic mapping; postcentral gyrus; shape perception; active touch; passive touch;

   Sammanfattning : Tactile perception is a remarkable ability that enables us to recognise objects and handle tools. Cortical processing during tactile and shape perception in humans is not fully understood. LÄS MER

5. 19. Pedicled and free TRAM flaps in breast reconstructions : a comparative study

   Författare :Åsa Edsander-Nord; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :breast reconstruction; TRAM; pedicled flap; free flap; microdialysis; monitoring; flap circulation; flap metabolism; glucose; lactate; glycerol; abdominal muscles; trunk muscle strength; KIN-COM; quantitative sensory testing; tactile perception threshold; thermal perception threshold; breast volume; thermoplastic; quality of life; SF-36; esthetic evaluation; applanation tonometry;

   Sammanfattning : The transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (TRAM) flap is frequently used when autologous tissue is desired for breast reconstruction, and it can be transferred pedicled or free. The pedicled TRAM flap is elevated as a lower transverse abdominal flap with the rectus abdominis muscle attached in the epigastric area, by which means the deep superior epigastric vessels nourish the flap.

7. 20. Affect as a Component of Perceived Sound and Vibration Quality in Aircraft

   Författare :Daniel Västfjäll; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; comfort; sound quality; evaluations; affective reactions; preference; interior aircraft sounds; propeller aircraft;

   Sammanfattning : The concept of product sound quality is becoming an integral component of product development and design. The research presented in this thesis test the notion that affective reactions (i.e. positive-negative feelings) are a major determinant of perceived sound quality. LÄS MER
