2. 1. Development of functional asymmetries in young infants : A sensory-motor approach

   Author : Erik Domellöf; Louise Rönnqvist; Jacqueline Fagard; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Laterality; development; handedness; human infant; stepping response; placing response; head turning; arm movement; reaching; kinematic parameters; intralimb coordination; Psychology; Psykologi;

   Abstract : Human functional laterality, typically involving a right-sided preference in most sensory-motor activities, is still a poorly understood issue. This is perhaps particularly true in terms of what underlying mechanisms that may govern lateral biases, as well as the developmental origins and course of events. READ MORE

7. 5. Rail grinding and its impact on the wear of wheels and rails

   Author : Jonas Lundmark; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Machine Elements; Maskinelement;

   Abstract : Rail grinding has been employed since the 1980s in maintaining optimal rail profile as well as in the elimination of surface defects such as corrugations and head-checks. Likewise, the wheel sets also require re- turning to remove surface defects and restore the desired profile. READ MORE
