Abstract: Jean Mandler proposes an original and richly detailed theory of how concepts relate to sensory and motor capacities. I focus on her claims about conceptual representations and the processes that produce them. On her view, concepts are declarative representations of object kind information. First, I argue that since sensorimotor representations may be declarative, there is no bar to pe...

Ultrafast photoresponse of dc-biased optically-thick YBa2Cu3O7−δ microbridges at T < Tc triggered with 100 fs optical pulses of high fluence was investigated by means of sampling oscilloscope and approach of a S-(1.5– 4 GHz) & C-(4–7 GHz) frequency-band antenna radiation, excited by the photoresponse. A superposition of ultrafast(photokinetic) and slow(bolometric) components of the photorespons...

OBJECTIVE To assess the role of odors in triggering or worsening migraine in men. METHOD Ninety-eight male migraineurs from the general population were assessed individually through questionnaires. Environmental factors relating to their migraine were reported, with special focus on the role of odors. RESULTS Odors were the second most frequent triggering factor for migraine attacks (48%), ...

This thesis study involves designing, implementing and testing of a novel radio resource control algorithm for the closed loop power control in the LTE uplink. Different values of the path loss compensation factor are investigated in the range 0.7-1.0 and an optimal value of 0.8 as allowed by the LTE standard is proposed. Both the ideal and a more realistic case modeled by including delay, erro...
