2. 11. Tactile Sensory Control of Dexterous Manipulation in Humans

   Author : Ingvars Birznieks; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physiology; cutaneous sensibility; tactile afferents; fingertip force; grasp stability; human hand; manipulation; object shape; precision grip; sensorimotor control; coding; Fysiologi; Physiology; Fysiologi; fysiologi; Physiology;

   Abstract : During dexterous manipulation with the fingertips, forces are applied to objects' surfaces. To achieve grasp stability, these forces must be appropriate given the properties of the objects and the skin of the fingertips, and the nature of the task. READ MORE

4. 12. The young, the wealthy, and the restless : Trans-national capitalist elite formation in post-apartheid Johannesburg

   Author : France Bourgouin; Socialantropologi; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Contemporary economic landscapes are particularly active with mergers, acquisitions, bankruptcies, and corporate takeovers, and the set of managerial elite who are in decision making positions are inextricably connected to these events. In this thesis I offer an anthropological perspective of these dynamics by considering the possible connection between processes of trans- national capitalist elite formation and identification, and larger transformations in the global system.

5. 13. System Evaluation and Learning in Evolvable Production Systems : Preliminary considerations and research directions

   Author : Pedro Neves; Mauro Onori; Luis Ribeiro; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Machine Learning; Evolvable Production Systems; SRA - Production; SRA - Produktion;

   Abstract : Dynamicity and unpredictability related to markets is strongly hardening companies’ mission to follow them and satisfy customer needs mainly due to the lack of adequate engineering mechanisms. These effects are felt more intensively in markets where low volumes and high customisation are needed since this requires constant changes in systems that can range from simple setups to total line re-configuration and re-programing.

6. 14. Development of Feedback Microwave Thermotherapy in Symptomatic Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

   Author : Sonny Schelin; Urologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; nephrology; Urologi; nefrologi; Urology; PET; Schelin Catheter; epinephrine; local anaesthetics; microwave thermotherapy; intraprostatic blood flow; PLFT; Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia; intraprostatic temperature; CoreTherm;

   Abstract : Abstract: The purpose of this thesis was to evaluate ProstaLund Feedback Treatment® (PLFT®) and the CoreTherm® device with regard to biophysics, mechanisms of action, treatment indications, additional techniques, efficacy and safety in the treatment of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The application of two biophysical equations in the PLFT software is explained. READ MORE

7. 15. A Novel Method for Adaptive Control of Manufacturing Equipment in Cloud Environments

   Author : Göran Adamson; Philip Moore; Lihui Wang; Robert Harrison; Högskolan i Skövde; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Function Block; Adaptive control; Robot-Control-as-a-Service; Cloud Manufacturing; Production and Automation Engineering; Produktion och automatiseringsteknik;

   Abstract : The ability to adaptively control manufacturing equipment, both in local and distributed environments, is becoming increasingly more important for many manufacturing companies.One important reason for this is that manufacturing companies are facing increasing levels of changes, variations and uncertainty, caused by both internal and external factors, which can negatively impact their performance.
