Background: Hypertension remains a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. We hypothesize that appropriate mechanotransduction and contractile function in vascular smooth muscle cells are crucial to maintain vascular wall integrity. The Hippo pathway effectors YAP (yes-associated protein 1) and TAZ (WW domain containing transcription re
This is the second component of a two-part paper dealing with a unification of characteristic mode decomposition. This second part addresses modal tracking, interpolation, the role of ohmic losses, and presents several numerical examples for surface-based method-of-moment formulations. A new tracking algorithm based on algebraic properties of the transition matrix is developed, achieving excellent
We study the stability of oscillation in two different multi-mode harmonic oscillators by means of Barkhausen’s criterion, involving a minimum of mathematical machinery in favor of a more intuitive, circuit-based approach. The results of the theoretical analysis match very closely those obtained through transient simulations, confirming occasionally surprising outcomes of the latter.
Can simple systems be regulated by simple controllers? Engineering experience indicates that this is often the case. Certainly, the overwhelming majority of industrially deployed controllers are proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers, many of which are tuned without detailed models. This is often in disappointing contrast with the controllers produced using model-based approaches. This
Hybrid computational schemes combining the advantages of a method of moments formulation of a field integral equation and T-matrix method are developed in this article. The hybrid methods are particularly efficient when describing the interaction of electrically small complex objects and electrically large objects of canonical shapes such as spherical multilayered bodies where the T-matrix method
Children born to occupying soldiers during or after conflicts are in many ways an extraordinarily vulnerable population. These so-called children born of war (CBOW) commonly inherit the stigma of transgression and foreignness from their respective parents and face discrimination in post-conflict societies. Their specific vulnerabilities, though, emerge from multiple overlapping factors: the needs
Cellular-connected unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has attracted a surge of research interest in both academia and industry. To support aerial user equipment (UEs) in the existing cellular networks, one promising approach is to assign a portion of the system bandwidth exclusively to the UAV-UEs. This is especially favorable for use cases where a large number of UAV-UEs are exploited, e.g., for packa
Background: Birds that forage while covering distance during migration should adjust traveling behaviors as the availability of foraging habitat changes. Particularly, the behavior of those species that depend on bodies of water to find food yet manage to migrate over changing landscapes may be limited by the substantial variation in feeding opportunities along the route. Methods: Using GPS tracki
Objective To investigate the admission rate to neonatal care and neonatal morbidity after maternal use of antipsychotics during pregnancy. Design A population-based register study. Setting Information on all singleton births between July 2006 and December 2017 in Sweden including data on prescription drugs, deliveries and infants' health was obtained from the Swedish Medical Birth Register, the Pr
Our aim was to understand mechanisms for clustering and cross-linking of gliadins, a wheat seed storage protein type, monomeric in native state, but incorporated in network while processed. The mechanisms were studied utilizing spectroscopy and high-performance liquid chromatography on a gliadin-rich fraction, in vitro produced α-gliadins, and synthetic gliadin peptides, and by coarse-grained mode
In this letter, we give an upper bound on the deviation from H-infinity optimality of a class of controllers as a function of the deviation from symmetry in the state matrix. We further suggest a scalar measure of symmetry which is shown to be directly relevant for estimating nearness to optimality. In connection to this, we give a simple analytical solution to a class of Lyapunov equations for tw
Reconstruction of movement control properties of the brain could result in many potential advantages for application in robotics. However, a hampering factor so far has been the lack of knowledge of the structure and function of brain circuitry in vivo during movement control. Much more detailed information has recently become available for the area of the cerebellum that controls arm-hand movemen
This paper presents simulations of the radar cross section for a marine corner reflector affected by icing as it is illuminated by 3 GHz marine radar. This is compared to the radar cross section for an unaffected reflector, and the consequences for radar range are investigated. To perform the simulations, a finite element-boundary integral hybrid method is used. The simulation code is based on sev

Under början av förra seklet skedde en formlig reception av tysk processrätt genom Ernst Kallenbergs verk Svensk Civilprocessrätt i två band. Således kom läran om processföremålet genom 1942 års processreform att läggas till grund för utformningen av den svenska rättegångsbalken (RB). Läran om processföremålet innebär att saken är den omtvistade rättigheten i det bakom-liggande rättsförhållande soAt the turn of the last century, a formal reception of German procedural law took place through Ernst Kallenberg’s work ’Svensk Civilprocessrätt’ in two volumes. Thereby, the German doctrine on the essence of the claim formed the basis for the Swedish Code of Procedure, rättegångsbalken (RB), through the procedural reform of 1942. The doctrine on the essence of the claim holds that the matter cont
