2. 6. Variations in Functional Lateralization

   Author : Peter E Wendt; Institutionen för psykologi; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; posterior association cortex; prefrontal; DLPFC; regional cerebral blood flow; normal subjects; lateralization; asymmetry; performance; creativity; Neurology; neuropsychology; neurophysiology; cognitive; ethanol; activation; visual stimulation; functional; verbal; divergent; spatial; Neurologi; neurofysiologi; neuropsykologi;

   Abstract : The general aim of this thesis was to study asymmetric activation of the neocortex in normal subjects, using the rCBF technique and different cognitive tasks. The aim was also to study individual and group variations of asymmetric activation, as well as factors pertaining to these variations. The thesis is based on four investigations. READ MORE

4. 7. Functional Polytypic Programming

   Author : Patrik Jansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; algebraic datatypes; functional programming; programming languages; polytypic programming; generic programming;

   Abstract : Many algorithms have to be implemented over and over again for different datatypes, either because datatypes change during the development of programs, or because the same algorithm is used for several datatypes. Examples of such algorithms are equality tests, pretty printers, and pattern matchers, and polytypic programming is a paradigm for expressing such algorithms. READ MORE

5. 8. Nonlocal Correlations in Density Functional Theory

   Author : Henrik Rydberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bonding; GGA; adhesion; graphene; DFT; exchange; adsorption; LDA; first principles; polarization; vdW; determinants; correlation; graphite; surface states; van der Waals; density-functional theory; physisorption; nonlocal; functional;

   Abstract : In Density Functional Theory, the widely used local and semilocal approximations to the exchange-correlation energy, the local density approximation (LDA) and the generalized gradient approximations (GGAs), lack a physical description of truly nonlocal correlation effects, which are absolutely essential for a proper description of soft matter. A scheme is proposed that provides a basis for systematic improvements beyond LDA and GGA, including correlations at intermediate and long range, giving rise to bonds of pure van der Waals type as well as more intricate, intermediate-range correlation bonds.

6. 9. Functional product development : an explorative view

   Author : Åsa Ericson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Funktionella produkter; Functional Product Development; Computer Aided Design; Datorstödd maskinkonstruktion;

   Abstract : Embodied in the concept of functional products is a shift in view for manufacturing companies as providers of physical artefacts to service providers. Furthermore, differentiation by offering added value, increased commitment towards customers, life-cycle commitment for the physical artefact and close collaboration between manufacturing companies are characteristics of the concept of functional products.

7. 10. Atomistic modelling of functional solid oxides for industrial applications : Density Functional Theory, hybrid functional and GW-based studies

   Author : Cecilia Århammar; Rajeev Ahuja; Steven Louie; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; density functional theory; oxides; GW; Condensed matter physics; Kondenserade materiens fysik; Magnetism; Magnetism; Defects and diffusion; Defekter och diffusion;

   Abstract : In this Thesis a set of functional solid oxides for industrial applications have been addressed by first principles and thermodynamical modelling. More specificially, measurable quantities such as Gibbs free energy, geometry and electronic structure have been calculated and compared when possible with experimental data. READ MORE
