Liquid-phase alkali-doping of individual carbon nanotube field-effect transistors
2012
Hiilinanoputket ovat todella herkkiä niiden lähiympäristössä tapahtuville muutoksille, joten niiden virrankuljetusominaisuuksia pystytään suhteellisen helposti muokkaamaan. Aromaattiset molekyylit esimerkiksi vuorovaikuttavat hiilinanoputken kanssa pii-pii -vuorovaikutusten välityksellä, jolloin molekyylien ja hiilinanoputken välillä voi tapahtua varausten siirtoa. Varausten siirtyminen taas muuttaa hiilinanoputken Fermi-tasoa ja vaikuttaa putken virrankuljetusominaisuuksiin. Myös atomeja voidaan kiinnittää hiilinanoputken seinämiin esimerkiksi sähköstaattisten vuorovaikutusten avulla, jolloin varausten siirron ja Fermi-tason muutoksen myötä putken virrankuljetusominaisuudet muuttuvat. Näid…
Kestääkö ääni? : laulunopetuksen vaikutus opettajaksi valmistuvien äänen laatuun ja ilmaisuun
2017
The aim of this study was to investigate how regular singing lessons and deliberate practice impact future teachers’ voice quality and their expression in speech and singing. Previous research about teachers’ speaking voice has shown that kindergarten teachers and classroom teachers are at high risk of showing symptoms or developing disorders, which weaken their effectiveness of expression. The study is qualitative and experimental and it includes longitudinal vocal education, which lasted one academic year. This thesis was approached theoretically through existential phenomenology with a holistic conception of man. Data was gathered from eleven subjects and divided into three research grou…
Krūšu rajonā novietoto sensoru pielietojums slimnīcā iegūto izgulējumu novēršanas pasākumos
2020
Darba aktualitāte: Izgulējumi ir viena no visizplatītākajām slimnīcā iegūtām slimībām, kas var novest līdz dzīves pasliktināšanai un pat nāvei. Profilaktiskie pasākumi var samazināt izgulējumu biežumu veidošanos. Darba mērķis: Izvērtēt valkājamo sensoru nozīmi slimnieka pozas vērtēšanā 24 stundu laika periodā pētot pacienta pagriešanās laiku un apjomu. Materiāli un metodes: Prospektīvājā pētijumā tika pētīti RAKUS Stacionāra ”Biķernieki” iegūti dati no 15 valkājamiem Movesense sensoriem, kas tika novietoti uz pacienta krūšu kaula laika posmā no 10.02.20 līdz 12.03.20, pēc kā tika ieviesta ārkārtējā situācija un visi klīniskie pētījumi tika apstādināti. Sensors tika novietots uz krūšu kaula …
Current Status on the Functional Characterization of Chemosensory Receptors of Cydia pomonella (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)
2018
Cydia pomonella (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is a major pest of apple, pear and walnuts. For its control, alternative strategies targeting the olfactory system, like mating disruption, have been combined with insecticide applications. The efficacy of these strategies headed the direction of efforts for the functional characterization of codling moth chemosensory receptors to implement further control methods based on chemical sensing. With the advent of transcriptomic analysis, partial and full-length coding sequences of chemosensory receptors have been identified in antennal transcriptomes of C. pomonella. Extension of partial coding sequences to full-length by polymerase chain reaction (PCR…
Miniature MOEMS hyperspectral imager with versatile analysis tools
2019
The Fabry-Perot interferometers (FPI) are essential components of many hyperspectral imagers (HSI). While the Piezo-FPI (PFPI) are still very relevant in low volume, high performance applications, the tunable MOEMS FPI (MFPI) technology enables volume-scalable manufacturing, thus having potential to be a major game changer with the advantages of low costs and miniaturization. However, before a FPI can be utilized, it must be integrated with matching optical assembly, driving electronics and imaging sensor. Most importantly, the whole HSI system must be calibrated to account for wide variety of unwanted physical and environmental effects, that significantly influence quality of hyperspectral…

Where do food likes and dislikes come from?
2020
Where do food likes and dislikes come from ? In other words, what are the factors that could explain why someone likes or dislikes a given food ? Most of the hedonic reactions to sensory stimulations brought by foods and, as a result reactions to foods carrying these sensory properties are learned through different learning mechanisms. The efficiency of these learning mechanisms mat depend on individual characteristics, in particular on the sensitivity to different sensory properties. Not all learnings are related to experiments with the food itself; many leamings depend on interactions within the family or social environment. Finally, cognitive determinants play also a role and, in particu…
Idrogeli a base di xyloglucano per la produzione di medicazioni avanzate nel trattamento delle ferite
2018
In questo lavoro sono stati preparati film sottili di idrogelo (reticolati fisicamente o chimicamente) a base di xyloglucano (XG) e XG/polivinilalcol (PVA), a cui si è aggiunto glicerolo come plasticizzante. Lo xyloglucano è un polisaccaride di origine vegetale, caratterizzato da una catena principale di (1,4)--Dglucosio con ramificazioni laterali di (1-6)-α-xilosio, parzialmente sostituite con (1-2)–β galattosio. E’ stata indagata la possibilità di modulare la densità di reticolazione dell’idrogelo per ottenere il miglior compromesso tra resistenza meccanica e flessibilità, l’integrità strutturale nel tempo e la capacità di assorbire fluidi biologici o trattenere l’umidità. Inoltre, ne è …
Iegultās iekārtas un programmatūra veselības datu pārraudzībai rehabilitācijas laikā
2015
Bakalaura darbs apskata sekojošu problēmu: pacientu veselības rādītāju pārraudzība rehabilitācijas iziešanas laikā. Autors apskata menisku bojājumu pēcoperāciju rehabilitācijas procesu ar mērķi definēt pārraudzībai nepieciešamus veselības rādītājus. Pirms risinājuma izstrādes tika veikta veselības speciālistu un bijušo pacientu intervēšana. Tas palīdzēja autoram aplūkot un izanalizēt situāciju no abām pusēm – saprast kādas grūtības pastāv fizioterapeitu darbā un atrast ar kādām problēmām saskarās pacienti pēc ceļa locītavas operācijas. Darba ietvaros tika veikta esošo risinājumu analīze ar mērķi aplūkot izmantotas tehnoloģijas un atrast šo izstrāžu priekšrocības un nepilnības. Apskatot un s…
Somatosensory change detection in the aging brain
2011
The study examined the brain’s automatic somatosensory change detection mechanism using event-related potentials (ERPs) to tactile electrical pulses to fingers in an oddball paradigm. Also the effects of aging to these ERPs were investigated comparing the data of young adults (N = 20, 22–27 years) with the data of aged participants (N = 12, 67–95 years). In the experiment, the participants were instructed to ignore finger stimuli and to be fully involved to a radio play during the electroencephalogram (EEG) recording. The electrical stimulation was delivered to participant’s forefinger and little finger in randomized order of standard (P = 0.85) and deviant (P = 0.15) stimuli. The analyzed …
