Transnational England : Home and Abroad, 1780-1860

The rise of the modern English nation coincided with England’s increased encounters with other peoples, both at home and abroad. Their cultures and ideas—artistic, religious, political, and philosophical—contributed, in turn, to the composition of England’s own domestic identity. Transnational England sheds light on this exchange through a close investigation of the literatures of the time, from d

A Retrospective Study on Clinical Assessment of Cognitive Impairment in a Swedish Cohort : Is There Inequality Between Natives and Foreign-Born?

BACKGROUND: People with a migration background are underrepresented in dementia research and disfavored in assessment and treatment, and many foreign-born individuals with dementia remain undiagnosed.OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to examine whether there is inequality in the clinical assessment of dementia between native and foreign-born individuals in Sweden.METHODS: Information was gather

Diffusion MRI with pulsed and free gradient waveforms : effects of restricted diffusion and exchange

Monitoring time-dependence with diffusion MRI yields observables sensitive to compartment sizes (restricted diffusion) and membrane permeability (water exchange). However, restricted diffusion and exchange have opposite effects on the diffusion-weighted signal, which can lead to errors in parameter estimates. In this work, we propose a signal representation that incorporates the effects of both re

Adaptive Inhibition for Optimal Energy Consumption by Animals, Robots and Neurocomputers

In contrast to artificial systems, animals must forage for food. In biology, the availability of energy is typically both precarious and highly variable. Most importantly, the very structure of organisms is dependent on the continuous metabolism of nutrients into ATP, and its use in maintaining homeostasis. This means that energy is at the centre of all biological processes, including cognition. S
