Domain decomposition methods are widely used tools for solving partial differential equations in parallel. However, despite their long history, there is a lack of rigorous convergence theory for equations with non-symmetric differential operators. This includes both nonlinear elliptic equations and linear parabolic equations. The aim of this thesis is therefore twofold: First, to construct framewo

Over the last century, many women have contributed to the field of control engineering. Nevertheless, women are generally in the minority. This article highlights the contribution of women since the inception of control engineering to highlight good exemples to coming generations. A repository of portraits of women in control engineering is currently being curated and made available through the un

Ex vivo (outside of the body) working heart models enable the evaluation of isolated hearts. They are envisioned to play an important role in increasing the currently low utilization rate of donor hearts for transplantation. For the heart to work in isolation, an afterload (flow impedance) is needed. To date, afterload devices have been constructed by combining multiple constituent elements such a

Fast simulation of linear time-invariant (LTI) pharmacokinetic (PK) models is crucial to mixed-effect modeling techniques, used extensively in pharmacological research and development. The by far most common LTI PK models are particularly structured compartmental systems with one, two or three compartments. Here we develop and demonstrate very efficient, and down to machine precision exact, simula

BACKGROUND: Lower respiratory infections caused by ssRNA viruses are a major health burden globally. Translational mouse models are a valuable tool for medical research, including research on respiratory viral infections. In in vivo mouse models, synthetic dsRNA can be used as a surrogate for ssRNA virus replication. However, studies investigating how genetic background of mice impacts the murine

The debate about the implications of algorithms on antitrust lawenforcement has so far focused on multi-firm conduct in general andcollusion in particular. The implications of algorithms on abuse ofdominance have been largely neglected. This article seeks to fill this gap inthe existing literature by exploring how the increasingly precise practice ofindividualized targeting by algorithms can facil

We present a computational framework to simultaneously perform image acquisition, reconstruction, and analysis in the context of open-source microscopy automation. The setup features multiple computer units intersecting software with hardware devices and achieves automation using python scripts. In practice, script files are executed in the acquisition computer and can perform any experiment by mo

This presentation discusses ways in which veganism can be conceptualized as political participation. What are the political aspects of the increasingly popular practice, which by some is understood as a personal dietary choice, by others a conscious lifestyle, and by still others a part of a broader emancipatory project of multispecies justice? The presentation argues that the rising vegan movemen

Om frågelistan LUF 236 Cykling

Frågelistor kan ha ha olika utgångspunkter, syften och användningsområden. Listan LUF 263 Tåg och järnvägar initierades i samband med arbetet med att strukturera ett forskningsprojekt. Svaren kom att få stor betydelse för projektets inriktning och utformning. Samtidigt kom de att användas i arbetet med en museiutställning, något som inte var planerat när listan formulerades. När, var och hur en fr

We built machine learning and image analysis tools in order to forecast winter wheat yield based on a rich multi dimensional tensor of agricultural information spanning different scales. This information consists of satellite multi-band images, local soil samples obtained from national databases, local weather as well as field data from 23 farms cultivating winter wheat in southern Sweden. This is
