The mixing process in a gas flow plays a crucial role in chemical reactions, and simultaneous measurements of both velocity and mixture fraction are desired to fathom the process. Here, we report a scheme for simultaneously measuring both velocity and concentration by femtosecond laser-induced chemiluminescence. The femtosecond laser would induce chemical reactions that generate CN radicals in the

Objectives: Acquired brain injury (ABI) has long-lasting effects, and patients and their families require continued care andsupport, often for the rest of their lives. For many individuals living with an ABI disorder, nonpharmacologicalrehabilitation treatment care has become increasingly important care component and relevant for informed healthcaredecision making. Our study aimed to appraise econ

This dissertation consists of four independent papers, which share the use of experimental methods. Using different settings – the field, the lab, an online platform, and telephone interviews – I study economic behavior and its underpinning beliefs and preferences.The first paper investigates how an incentive for a hedonic but risky activity affects the risk assessment of young adults. I conduct a

We study the task of embodied visual active learning, where an agent is set to explore a 3d environment with the goal to acquire visual scene understanding by actively selecting views for which to request annotation. While accurate on some benchmarks, today's deep visual recognition pipelines tend to not generalize well in certain real-world scenarios, or for unusual viewpoints. Robotic perception

We focus on the task of estimating a physically plausi-ble articulated human motion from monocular video. Ex-isting approaches that do not consider physics often pro-duce temporally inconsistent output with motion artifacts, while state-of-the-art physics-based approaches have either been shown to work only in controlled laboratory conditions or consider simplified body-ground contact limited to f

We introduce DiffPhy, a differentiable physics-based model for articulated 3d human motion reconstruction from video. Applications of physics-based reasoning in human motion analysis have so far been limited, both by the complexity of constructing adequate physical models of articulated human motion, and by the formidable challenges of performing stable and efficient inference with physics in the

BACKGROUND: The long-term outcome after local excision of T1 colorectal cancer (CRC) remains unknown. The aim of this study was to examine clinical and histopathological risk factors for recurrence in patients with T1 CRC undergoing endoscopic resection.METHODS: This was a retrospective registry-based population study on prospectively collected data of all patients with nonpedunculated T1 CRC unde

Some pesticides, used in large quantities in current European agricultural practices, are suspected of having harmful effects on human health (cancers, metabolic diseases, neurodegenerative diseases). While occupational exposure is now well documented, data on the exposure of the general population to these molecules, mainly through dietary route are lacking. The aim of this work was to identify d

Hans Henrik Lidgard enligt delegation Abstract: Konkurrensverkets undersökningar på plats innebär en stor belastning på företagen som normalt torde ha all anledning att försöka korta ner konkurrensverkets vistelse på företaget av i stort sett samma skäl som konkurrensverket av effektivitetsskäl önskar genomföra undersökningen i verkets egna lokaler när så är möjligt. Det förefaller därför sannolik
