  2. 1. Context dependent adaptation of biting behavior in human

    Author : Anders Johansson; Benoni Edin; Karl-Gunnar Westberg; Peter Svensson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; EMG; bite force; human; mastication; muscles; jaw opening reflex; motor control; reflex modulation; periodontal attachment loss; periodontitis; fysiologi; Physiology;

    Abstract : The focus of this thesis was to study an action that humans perform regularly, namely, to hold a morsel between the teeth and split it into smaller pieces. Three different issues related to this biting behavior were addressed:  (1) the effect of redu­c­ed perio­dontal tissues on food holding and splitting behavior; (2) the behavioral conse­quences of performing different bite tasks with different functional requirements, i.

  4. 2. Performance in the Swedish Building Code : An Inquiry into the Consequences for Architectural Design of the Formulation and Assessment of Performance Requirements

    Author : Marja Lundgren; Timothy Anstey; Fredrik Nilsson; Meike Schalk; Anne Beim; KTH; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Architecture; architectural technology; performance-based regulation; performance requirement; energy performance; daylight metrics; tectonics; architectural representation; repertoire; context-dependent knowledge; Arkitektur; funktionskrav; energiprestanda; dagsljusfaktor; tektonik; repertoar; arkitekturteknik; Arkitektur; Architecture;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates performance-based regulation in Sweden and its consequences for architectural design. In the last 50 years, there has been a transition from prescriptive to performance-based regulation, propelled by the drive to further innovation, productivity and competitiveness by expressing the functions expected of the buildings as performances.

    Abstract : A comprehensive understanding of how the body and all its components function is essential when this knowledge is exploited for medical purposes. The achievements in biological and medical research during last decades has provided us with the complete human genome and identified signaling pathways that governs the cellular processes that facilitates the development and maintenance of higher order organisms.

  6. 4. Neuromechanical basis of airflow-dependent antennal positioning in hawkmoths

    Author : Dinesh Natesan; Örjan Ekeberg; Sanjay P. Sane; Volker Dürr; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; insect antennae; antennal positioning; antennal hair plates; Böhm’s bristles; Johnston’s organs; control theory; hierarchical neural circuits; tuneable feedback loop; flexible reflexes; Computer Science; Datalogi;

    Abstract : Fast behaviors, seen in varied life forms, are often considered to be stereotypic and reflexive and the control neural circuits to be hard-wired. However, many such reflexes have been shown to respond in a context-dependent manner. READ MORE

  7. 5. Homo Varius: Investigating Intrinsic and Extrinsic Determinants to Explain Online Privacy Decisions

    Author : Agnieszka Kitkowska; Leonardo Martucci; Erik Wästlund; Jan Gulliksen; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Privacy; Attitudes Behavior; Decision-Making; HCI; GUI; Usability; Visual Design; Personality; Affect; Computer Science; Datavetenskap;

    Abstract : When people interact with others, they control how much personal information they reveal, and, hence, make decisions about their privacy. Similarly, in online settings, they decide how much personal information they expose. READ MORE
