1. Development of functional asymmetries in young infants : A sensory-motor approach
Sammanfattning : Human functional laterality, typically involving a right-sided preference in most sensory-motor activities, is still a poorly understood issue. This is perhaps particularly true in terms of what underlying mechanisms that may govern lateral biases, as well as the developmental origins and course of events. LÄS MER

3. A Model of Driver Perception and Action in Intersections
Sammanfattning : The objective of the research presented in this thesis is to describe driver behavior while approaching, entering and exiting an intersection. To fulfill this objective, two semi-naturalistic studies were conducted where ten driver participants drove a test vehicle through a three-way intersection repeatedly, driving straight, turning left, and turning right in a total of six possible passes.

4. Stepping, placing and headturning biases in newborn infants : A neurodevelopmental perspective
Sammanfattning : In the present thesis the stepping, placing and head turning responses in healthy humanfullterm newborns are investigated. The main focus is put on a study of these newbornresponses in relation to functional asymmetries, while at the same time exploring anddiscussing different factors that possibly can affect the outcome of such studies.

5. Rail grinding and its impact on the wear of wheels and rails
Sammanfattning : Rail grinding has been employed since the 1980s in maintaining optimal rail profile as well as in the elimination of surface defects such as corrugations and head-checks. Likewise, the wheel sets also require re- turning to remove surface defects and restore the desired profile. LÄS MER
