  1. 1. Escaping 'death by GPS' : foundations for adaptive navigation assistance

    Författare :Fateme Teimouri; Kai-Florian Richter; Henrik Björklund; Sabine Timpf; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; wayfinding; navigation systems; navigation complexity; prominent locations; route generalization; spatial cognition; mental models; route learning; direction giving; Human-centered study.;

    Sammanfattning : Navigating through physical environments has evolved over time from using stars and maps to support the wayfinding, to employing Global Positioning Systems and navigation services. Turn-by-turn guidance of navigation services is an effective way to support wayfinding, but it may not align with the way humans naturally navigate. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Modelling of Diffuse Brain Injury: Combining Methods to Study Possible Links between Transient Intracranial Pressure and Injury

    Författare :Ulrika Krave; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; animal model; astrocytosis; diffuse axonal injury; neurofilaments; diffuse brain injury; rotational acceleration; closed head trauma; rabbit; finite element analysis; intracranial pressure; injury mechanisms;

    Sammanfattning : The objectives of this research are the study of sagittal rotational acceleration induced diffuse brain injury mechanisms. Such injuries are common in vehicle accidents in particular; the consequences range from mild to severe symptoms and may lead to persistent neurological dysfunction. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Income Generation in the African and Coloured Population: Three essays on the origins of household incomes in South Africa

    Författare :Sten Dieden; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Africa; South Africa; household incomes; income sources; inequality; labour; unemployment; core; periphery; multinomial logit; endogeneity;

    Sammanfattning : The dissertation comprises three empirical analyses focusing on the origins of South African households? income sources. The income sources are categorized to reflect the households? varying extent of economic core sector integration. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Wireless Sensor Networks in Smart Cities : The Monitoring of Water Distribution Networks Case

    Författare :Du Rong; Carlo Fischione; Ming Xiao; Iordanis Koutsopoulos; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Integer Programming; Nonconvex Optimization; Network Lifetime; Dynamic; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Sammanfattning : The development of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is making it possible to monitor our cities. Due to the small size of the sensor nodes, and their capabilities of transmitting data remotely, they can be deployed at locations that are not easy or impossible to access, such as the pipelines of water distribution networks (WDNs), which plays an important role in protecting environment and securing public health.

  7. 5. PDGFB and P53 in brain tumorigenesis

    Författare :Sanna-Maria Hede; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Glioblastoma is the most common, and malignant form of brain tumor. It is characterized by a rapid growth and diffuse spread to surrounding brain tissue. The cell of origin is still not known, but experimental data suggest an origin from a glial precursor or neural stem cell. LÄS MER
