Detecting and sorting spikes in extracellular neural recordings are common procedures in assessing the activity of individual neurons. In chronic recordings, passive electrode movements introduce changes in the shape of detected spike waveforms, and may thus lead to problems with identification and tracking of spikes recorded at separate instances in time, which is an important step in long-term m

The moth, Spodoptera littoralis, was demonstrated to be a new model system for studying mechanisms underlying odour conditioning. In the experiments a restrained moth was trained to learn an association between a conditioned stimulus (CS) and an unconditioned stimulus (US). A proboscis extension reflex (PER) elicited by the conditioned odour was observed after learning. In paper I, an odour-sucros

In this paper, we describe a system for the CoNLL-X shared task of multilingual dependency parsing. It uses a baseline Nivre’s parser (Nivre, 2003) that first identifies the parse actions and then labels the dependency arcs. These two steps are implemented as SVM classifiers using LIBSVM. Features take into account the static context as well as relations dynamically built during parsing. We experi

Today many methods are available for gas turbine flow path analysis. Some of them are very simple but yet very useful, since they give an indication of the compressor capacity with almost no calculation effort. The state of the art today is the heat and mass balance models (HMB), which are more sophisticated. This paper presents a general overview of these methods, including the most recent trend,

Från 1840 och ett sekel framåt utvandrade över en miljon människor från Sverige till Amerika. Att så många valde att lämna Sverige för att söka ett bättre liv på andra sidan Atlanten var ett stort trauma för den svenska nationen. Filmmakarna var inte sena att på olika sätt belysa fenomenet som skulle få märkbar betydelse för den svenska nationella identiteten. I Välkommen hem Mr Swanson analyserar

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling utforskar och analyserar segregation och självsortering i utbildning. Den syftar till att diskutera hur detta relateras till genus, individualisering och unga mäns och kvinnors positioneringar i lokala praktiker, genom val av gymnasieutbildning. Den fokuserar hur unga män och kvinnor hanterar och anpssar sig till det förändrade senmoderna samhället. AvThis thesis explores and analyzes segregation and self-sorting in education. It aims at discussing how this relates to gender, individualization and young men and women's positionings in local practices, through choices of upper secondary school education. It focuses on how young men and women cope with and adapt to the changing society in late modernity. The thesis is based on three empirical st

Popular Abstract in Swedish Kemi förknippas ofta med miljöförstöring och gifter och det kan vara lätt att bortse från att dagens samhälle genomsyras och är beroende av produkter tillverkade med kemins hjälp. Läkemedel är exempel på kemiska produkter som alla kommer i kontakt med och i vissa fall inte kan leva utan. Organisk kemi, en viktig undergrupp i det vida begreppet kemi, är en vetenskap somStructure activity relationship studies of synthetic flavone derivatives have been utilized to refine and evaluate a pharmacophore model of the benzodiazepine binding site of the GABAA receptors, originally developed by Zhang et al. (Drug Des. Discovery 1995, 12, 193-248). In addition to the previously proposed pharmacophore elements, two steric repulsive regions have been added to the model and t
