   Keywords : Alzheimer’s disease; longitudinal study; mixed methods design; semantic memory; awareness; metacognition; central coherence; emotions; Alzheimers sjukdom; longitudinell studie; mixed methods design; semantiskt minne; medvetande; metakognition; central koherens; emotioner; Do Psychology;

   Abstract : The aim of the present thesis was twofold, first to map the semantic memory decline in Alzheimer patients over time, second to take the patient’s perspective and create a multifaceted picture of the individual with Alzheimer’s disease through the study of memory, awareness, central coherence and emotions. Further issues concerned how Alzheimer individuals handled their cognitive erosion in everyday life and if they were well calibrated with their spouse in disease related matters. READ MORE

4. 2. Partially Coherent Laser Radiation - Modeling and Application to Optical Microlithography

   Author : Christer Rydberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; microlithography; coherence; temporal speckle; partial coherence; optical propagation; number of degrees of freedom; dynamic speckle;

   Abstract : This work deals with a type of light that has properties somewhere between blackbody radiation and conventional laser light; such light is referred to as partially coherent. One example is the radiation from the pulsed excimer laser, which is used in the manufacturing of most of the worlds integrated circuits. READ MORE

5. 3. Exploiting Coherence in Voxelized Geometry

   Author : Viktor Kämpe; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; time-varying; directed acyclic graph; geometry; voxel; octree;

   Abstract : In computer graphics, the geometry of virtual worlds can be represented in numerousways, from collections of simple triangles or voxels to higher-order primitives likecurved surfaces. There is a trade-off, both in terms of memory consumption and processingtime, between the cost of an individual primitive and the number of primitivesrequired to faithfully represent the world.

   Abstract : Introduction and aims: Autism, Asperger syndrome and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD) are clinically defined neuropsychiatric syndromes that affect 6 to 10 per cent of all children. These common developmental disorders can be understood at different levels. READ MORE

7. 5. Picture Viewing and Picture Description: Two Windows on the Mind

   Author : Jana Holsanova; Kognitionsvetenskap; []

   Abstract : In this thesis, I connect two disciplines, linguistics and vision research, and combine two methods, spoken language protocols and eye movement protocols, in order to cast light on the underlying cognitive processes. In a series of studies, I investigate the processual aspects of picture viewing and picture description. READ MORE
