A proposal by Ferguson [2003, Argumentation 17, 335-346] for a fully monotonic argument form allowing for the expression of defeasible generalizations is critically examined and rejected as a general solution. It is argued that (i) his proposal reaches less than the default-logician's solution allows, e.g., the monotonously derived conclusion is one-sided and itself not defeasible. (ii) when appli
Detta arbete har haft som målsättning att fördjupa vår kunskap om cellulosa och hur denna polymer reagerar i olika miljöer. Cellulosa är det vanligaste organiska materialet på jorden vilket gör att det är relativt lätttillgängligt, billigt, och miljövänligt. Genom att öka vår förståelse av de egenskaper som cellulosa besitter kan det bli möjligt att utveckla nya användningsområden, men också kvaliThis work is primary about development and application of electrostatic theory within the atomistic domain. The resulting procedures were implemented to eventually describe systems involving the cellulose molecule. A concluding remark about electrostatic interactions is the importance of moment cancellation. By inducing image moments which cancels the totality of the collective system moments, and
Kärnmagnetisk resonans, NMR, är en teknik som har många användningsområden, inte minst används NMR som en bildgivande teknik för diagnostisering av skador och sjuk- domar, vilket görs med så kallade MR-kameror. Med hjälp av diffusions-NMR kan man mäta vattenmolekylers rörelse, d.v.s. vattnets diffusion. Diffusions-NMR gör det möjligt att mäta hur långt vattenmolekylerna rör sig i olika riktningar.NMR is a powerful non-invasive technique utilizing radiofrequency and gradient pulses to manipulate the spinsof atomic nuclei. In particular, diffusion NMR uses strong magnetic field gradients to label the positions of spins allowing for the measurement of translational motion of molecules in liquids. The average displacement of water molecules can give information on the pore microstructure in va
Overriding motor impulses instigated by salient perceptual stimuli represent a fundamental inhibitory skill. Such motor self-regulation facilitates more rational behaviour, as it brings economy into the bodily interaction with the physical and social world. It also underlies certain complex cognitive processes including decision making. Recently, MacLean et al. (MacLean et al. 2014 Proc. Natl Acad
This work concerns efficient and reliable numerical simulations of the dynamic behaviour of a moving-boundary model for tubulin-driven axonal growth. The model is nonlinear and consists of a coupled set of a partial differential equation (PDE) and two ordinary differential equations. The PDE is defined on a computational domain with a moving boundary, which is part of the solution. Numerical simul
Background: Due to a lack of coordination of care flow events and uncertain capacity coordination, long patient waiting times for patients arise, entailing a medical risk and contributing towards capacity being utilized less effectively. Healthcare services are often said to be crucial to coordinate in order to create equally good availability for care-seekers. Could healthcare matching become the
Late modernity in developed nations is characterized by changing social and psychological conditions, including individualization, processes of competition and loneliness. Remaining socially connected is becoming increasingly important. In this situation, travel provides meaning through physical encounters, inclusion in traveller Gemeinschaft based on shared norms, beliefs and interests, and socia
Development Communication and Public Diplomacy are twin products of U.S. political science and Cold War foreign policy. As contemporary diplomatic and development policies continue to converge, new ways of interpreting the relationship between the fields are necessary. This article analyses the 2 fields' emergence out of modernization policy and their reliance on a common conception of process: na
