Hippocampal subfield segmentation on in vivo MRI is of great interest for cognition, aging, and disease research. Extant subfield segmentation protocols have been based on neuroanatomical references, but these references often give limited information on anatomical variability. Moreover, there is generally a mismatch between the orientation of the histological sections and the often anisotropic co
Multiple facile synthetic strategies for all inorganic perovskite CsPbBr3 nanocrystals (NCs) have been established and developed, profiting from their excellent performance and great potential applied in the field of photonic and optoelectronic. Here, CsPbBr3 NCs were synthesized by both hot injection method (method 1) and conversion method (method 2), and the discrepancy of their photophysical pr
Ignition and extinction characteristics of a material determine whether a fire will be initiated and grow. In fire safety engineering, where modellers deal with a multitude of materials, simplified thresholds are commonly used to determine when ignition and extinction occur.Such a threshold is the critical mass flux, which describes when sufficient fuel vapour is produced to support sustained flam
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder, affecting approximately 1% of the population. The high rate of drug-resistance in epilepsy in general (30%), and temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) in particular, pose a serious clinical problem. Thus, novel treatments for drug-resistant epilepsy is highly warranted. Gene therapy has been suggested to be a promising approach to target drug-resistant focal epilepsy si
Background: Demography, politics, economy, and governance appear to be the major structural factors for health and well-being. These factors have a significant role to play in achieving universal health coverage (UHC). The majority of previous studies did not highlight those factors. The aim of this study is to explore the basic structural factors (political stability, demography, gross national i
In this paper, we describe the conversion of three different heart transplantation data sets to a Resource Description Framework (RDF) representation and how it can be utilized to train deep learning models. These models were used to predict the outcome of patients both pre- and post-transplant and to calculate their survival time. The International Society for Heart & Lung Transplantation (IS
Combating climate change and transitioning to fossil-free energy are two central and interdependent challenges facing humanity today. Governing the nexus of these challenges is complex, and includes multiple intergovernmental and transnational institutions. This book analyses the governance interactions between such institutions, and explores their consequences for legitimacy and effectiveness. Us
The stacked multi-level (SML) klystron modulator topology has been suggested as an alternative to conventional pulse transformer based topologies in an attempt to improve output pulse performance and reduce system size for long pulse applications. In this topology, a power converter chain including a high frequency transformer generates the output pulse in a pulse modulation/demodulation scheme, e
Urbanization and Density in Zanzibar - Recommendations for Sustainable Urban Development from Swahili houses to low-rise multi-storey houses. The rapid urbanization process in Africa is a major challenge for politicians, urban planners and society in general. The archipelago of Zanzibar in Tanzania is in the middle of this process. Traditionally, low and middle income families live in Swahili hous
Personal computers (PC) have become an indispensable product in modern life. Along with the growing volume of computers, the environmental burden and impact at the end-of-life phase known as e-waste become significant. Considering the material-intensive nature of the production of computers, and the environmental burdens caused by landfills, incinerations and improper recycling activities, persona
Is världen över smälter till följd av temperaturökningen som sker på jorden. Glaciärer retirerar och isen tunnas ut vid polarområdena. Vid Arktis har isen studerats under hundratals år men det var inte förrän på 1970-talet som havsisens utbredning kunde kartläggas ordentligt med hjälp av fjärranalys. Passiv mikrovågsradiometri är den vanligaste metoden för att mäta havsisens utbredning. Trenderna All over the world ice is melting as a result of the increased temperature. The sea ice at the poles is getting thinner and glaciers are retreating. The Arctic has been studied during hundreds of years but it was not until the 1970’s the sea ice extent could be surveyed properly with remote sensing. The most common method to investigate the sea ice extent is with passive microwave satellite sensor
Key words: Corporate environmentalism, ecologic-economic decision-making, CSR worldviews Purpose: To explore environmental decision-aming processes at managers at Skanska, also with regard to enviornmental decison-making conceptualizations in theory. Method: The research of the thesis is based on a qualitative approach through the use of semi-structured and open interviews. Furthermore an interpre
The aims of the present study were to implement and evaluate a three-session Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) stress management intervention in a non-clinical group of university students (N = 25) and to investigate the importance of practice in an ACT-intervention. A design with pre-test and double post-test was chosen. A comparison was made between a nine-hour ACT-intervention containing
The size and shape of the cockerel comb, ran be regarded as secondary sexual characters or sexual ornaments. Sexual characters are assumed to be costly to express and the expression of a secondary sexual character is suggested to be favourably correlated with the bearer's condition or fitness. The aim of this study was to clarify the effects of selection for male sexual characters, the correlated
The spectroscopic properties of spirilloxanthin in an nhexane solution and bound to the core light-harvesting LH1) complex of Rhodospirillum rubrum were studied by near infrared ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy. Global analysis of the kinetic traces measured after excitation of spirilloxanthin to the S2 (1Bu +) state enabled us to estimate the species-associated difference spectra that
