The functional organization of the hindlimb withdrawal reflex system was studied in the rat. For the reflex pathway to each muscle, a "mirror-image" relationship was found between the spatial distribution of sensitivity within its cutaneous receptive field and the pattern of cutaneous unloading ensuing on muscle contraction. Thus, the withdrawal movement pattern ensuing on contraction in a muscle

A presentation of archival sources for the history of the crafts in Malmö.

The dissociative adsorption of ethylene (C2H4) on Ni(1 1 1) was studied by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The STM studies reveal that ethylene decomposes exclusively at the step edges at room temperature. However, the step edge sites are poisoned by the reaction products and thus only a small brim of decomposed ethylene is formed. At 500 K dec

Popular Abstract in Swedish Stjärnor samt andra astronomiska objekt är belägna på väldigt stora avstånd från oss, vilket innebär att de vid första anblick verkar svåra att undersöka. Den enda pålitliga informationskällan om deras funktion och utveckling är det ljus som de utsänder, d.v.s. deras spektrum. Hur kan man då erhålla någon användbar information om dessa avlägsna objekt genom att endast uThis thesis is a description of how knowledge of atomic physics can be used in a stellar spectrum analysis. Stellar investigations are spectroscopically performed based on wavelengths, intensities and spectral line structure. Properties such as isotopic shifts, hyperfine structure, Zeeman effect, line blending and spectral line broadening are investigated in stellar spectra to improve results of a

Discussion concerning Swedish film spectators and cinema culture

The thesis takes its starting-point in the last years' growing interests in the small town as an architectural concept. Pre-industrial small towns are used as visual and structural models for very attractive new settlements in Sweden. However, architects and other actors within the cultural sphere question the adequacy of using old models for new buildings. The thesis' overarching question is: Wha

The most common situation connection with freshwater production from sea water (desalination) is producing a brine waste stream, usually discharged back into sea water. The purpose of this study is to explore the behavior of a dense jet and bottom plume, composed of brine water of heavier effluent into a quiescent homogeneous ambient, discharged into a receiving body of lighter fresh water (tank).

It has been observed and reported that in pulse combustors of Helmholtz type the heat transfer is two to five times higher than expected. From experiments, where the temperature profile in the tail pipe of a pulse combustor has been measured, we have no indication why the heat transfer should be enhanced. In the tail pipe of a pulse combustor the radial component of the temperature gradient vanish

In this paper a conceptual model of the environment of computerized information systems is developed. The purpose of the model is to describe computerized information systems in relation to contextual factors of the organization. It is proposed that the characteristics of a computerized information system can be classified first in terms of data base, reports or processing, and second in terms of

The thesis of this article is that the notion of an ethical food consumer is untenable unless it is coupled with a conception of food citizenship. The main arguments delivered against the notion of ethical food consumption are that consumption does not take the operations of moral psychology into account, nor afford means to tackle structural problems inherent in the relation between consumer and
