The two-factor structure of cognitive flexibility : tempo of switching and overcoming of prepotent responses
2023
Prezentowane badanie miało na celu odkrycie struktury procesów latentnych leżących u podstaw wykonania kilku zadań, które hipotetycznie mierzą spontaniczną i adaptacyjną giętkość poznawczą, dostarczając dowodów na ich trafność zbieżną. Grupa zdrowych ochotników (N = 121) ukończyła dwa zestawy zadań do oceny spontanicznej i adaptacyjnej giętkości poznawczej. Spontaniczna giętkość poznawcza obejmowała test myślenia dywergencyjnego (do oceny płynności i giętkości myślenia) oraz werbalny test płynności. Miary giętkości adaptacyjnej obejmowały test przełączania się między zadaniami jako miarę kosztów przełączania oraz test przerzucania uwagi jako miarę wyuczonej nieistotności i perseweracji. Nat…
Upper secondary school students’ use of and attitudes to English tags within Finnish speech and writing
2010
Kansainvälistymisen myötä englannin vahvistuva asema lingua francana näkyy myös Suomessa ja suomen kielessä: englanninkieliset nimet, iskulauseet, lainasanat ja muut anglismit ovat monelle jo niin jokapäiväinen asia, että moni ei edes huomaa käyttävänsä niitä. Osa suomalaisista on kuitenkin sitä mieltä, että tällainen kielten sekoittuminen ja vaihtelu köyhdyttävät suomea ja jopa uhkaavat sitä. Eräs kielikontaktin laji on koodinvaihto eli kahden tai useamman kielen käyttäminen keskustelussa. Se on edelleen jaoteltavissa sanojen tai lyhyiden huudahdusten lisäämiseen muutoin erikieliseen puheeseen tai tekstiin ( tag-switching ). Työssä tutkittiin tällaisten englanninkielisten tagien lisäämise…
The genotypes and virulence attributes of C. albicans isolates from oral leukoplakia
2021
Background There is a debate as to whether some types of oral leucoplakias (OL) are caused by Candida species, and whether they contribute to the malignant transformation, associated with a minority of such lesions. As no detailed population analysis of yeast isolates from OL is available, we evaluated the virulence attributes, and genotypes of 35 C. albicans from OL, and compared their genotypes with 18 oral isolates from healthy individuals. Material and Methods The virulence traits evaluated were esterase, phospholipase, proteinase, haemolysin and coagulase production, and phenotypic switching activity, and yeast adherence and biofilm formation. DNA from OL and control yeasts were evalua…
Proton‐Gated Ring‐Closure of a Negative Photochromic Azulene‐Based Diarylethene
2020
Abstract Proton‐responsive photochromic molecules are attractive for their ability to react on non‐invasive rapid optical stimuli and the importance of protonation/deprotonation processes in various fields. Conventionally, their acidic/basic sites are on hetero‐atoms, which are orthogonal to the photo‐active π‐center. Here, we incorporate azulene, an acid‐sensitive pure hydrocarbon, into the skeleton of a diarylethene‐type photoswitch. The latter exhibits a novel proton‐gated negative photochromic ring‐closure and its optical response upon protonation in both open and closed forms is much more pronounced than those of diarylethene photoswitches with hetero‐atom based acidic/basic moieties. …
Transmission and host and mate location in the fish louse Argulus coregoni and its link with bacterial disease in fish
2007
FM Matthias Bandilla osoittaa väitöstutkimuksessaan, että kirjolohen kalatäitartunnalla on selkeä yhteys Flavobacterium columnare -infektioon, joka on yksi ongelmallisimmista bakteeritaudeista suomalaisessa kalanviljelyssä tällä hetkellä. Vaikka heikko kalatäitartunta ei aiheuta kalan kuolemaa, yhdessä bakteerialtistuksen kanssa se voi olla tappava. Vastaavien vuorovaikutusten ymmärtäminen olisi tärkeää vesiviljelyn kannalta, koska erilaisten mikrobien aiheuttamien tautien ja loisten yhteisesiintyminen kalanviljelylaitoksella on ennemminkin sääntö kuin poikkeus.Kalatäi (Argulus coregoni) on pääasiassa lohikaloilla esiintyvä äyriäispintaloinen, jonka levinneisyys ulottuu koko pohjoiselle vyö…
Network Capacity Estimators Predicting QoE in HTTP Adaptive Streaming
2022
The aim of adaptive HTTP streaming technology is preserving the best possible video streaming quality for viewers in heterogeneous network conditions. This can be achieved by making multiple quality versions of the video available. Switching between versions during playback should be imperceptible and fluent. The decision about quality-level switching is typically based on network capacity estimation and buffer occupancy, which predict the risk of stalling. Since quality-level switching and stalling are directly evident to the user, they are often classified as influence factors of quality of experience (QoE). In this paper, we observe different network capacity estimators and buffer behavi…
Preliminary test on a cascode switch for high-frequency applications
2020
Nowadays, an increasing electrification level is being addressed towards different sectors, such as transportation and industrial electronics. To bear that, high speed electrical machines represent a mature technology in different application fields, e.g. avionics, automotive, compressors and spindles. In order to guarantee high speed while keeping high power quality without adopting bulky filtering circuits, DC-AC converters shall be controlled by means of high Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) frequencies. In addition to the emerging switching device technologies, such as those based on Silicon-Carbide (SiC) and Gallium-Nitride (GaN), alternative circuital topologies are crucial in order to co…
Marginal bone loss in relation to platform switching implant insertion depth: an update
2011
A review is made, analyzing marginal bone loss in relation to the depth of implant insertion with platform switching, according to the position of the neck (supracrestal, crestal or subcrestal), and evaluating survival of the implants. A PubMed search was made of the studies in animals and humans published between 2005 and 2011, specifying platform insertion depth (supracrestal, crestal or subcrestal) and registering marginal bone loss from the time of prosthetic restoration to the end of follow-up (minimum 6 months). A total of 30 studies were included. The bone loss associated with implants placed at supracrestal level was slightly smaller than in the case of implants placed at subcrestal…
A new ATLAS muon CSC readout system with system on chip technology on ATCA platform
2015
The ATLAS muon Cathode Strip Chamber (CSC) backend readout system has been upgraded during the LHC 2013-2015 shutdown to be able to handle the higher Level-1 trigger rate of 100 kHz and the higher occupancy at Run 2 luminosity. The readout design is based on the Reconfigurable Cluster Element (RCE) concept for high bandwidth generic DAQ implemented on the Advanced Telecommunication Computing Architecture (ATCA) platform. The RCE design is based on the new System on Chip XILINX ZYNQ series with a processor-centric architecture with ARM processor embedded in FPGA fabric and high speed I/O resources together with auxiliary memories to form a versatile DAQ building block that can host applicati…
