There is an increasing need for reliable methods to assess load-carrying capacity and remaining service life of existing infrastructure. Several previous research projects have resulted in a verified, simple 1D model for assessment of anchorage in corroded reinforced concrete structures. Previous verification has involved both experiments and detailed 3D NLFE analyses. To further develop the 1D mo

Recently the lifetime of the excited 3d94s22D3/2 in Ni- was measured to be 15.1±0.4 s [Phys. Rev. A 93, 012512 (2016)2469-992610.1103/PhysRevA.93.012512]. This deviates from results from nonrelativistic, within the LS-approximation, calculations for this forbidden magnetic-dipole transition of 18.88 s [J. Phys. B 50, 025001 (2017)JPAPEH0953-407510.1088/1361-6455/50/2/025001]. We here present elabo

In recent years, we have witnessed an intensive scholarly discussion about the limitations of traditional inward looking regional innovation strategies. New policy approaches put more emphasis on promoting the external connectedness of regions. However, the institutional preconditions for collaboration across borders have received little attention so far. The aim of this paper is to investigate bo

Circulating parathyroid hormone (PTH) immunoheterogeneity is altered in primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT). It is not known, however, whether the relative secretion of various PTH fragments differs between the adenomatous and the non-adenomatous glands in pHPT. We therefore examined the immunoheterogeneity of PTH in patients operated upon because of parathyroid adenoma pre- and 4 days postoperativ

We present a few-cycle high-repetition rate optical parametric amplifier for multiphoton PEEM experiments on semiconductor nanowires. This parametric amplifier is also used for the generation of high-order harmonics at 200kHz for future atto-PEEM experiments.

The Mesoproterozoic Eon [1,600-1,000 million years ago (Ma)] is emerging as a key interval in Earth history, with a unique geochemical history that might have influenced the course of biological evolution on Earth. Indeed, although this time interval is rather poorly understood, recent chromium isotope results suggest that atmospheric oxygen levels were <0.1% of present levels, sufficiently low to

Misplacement of electrodes during the recording of an electrocardiogram (ECG) can cause an incorrect interpretation, misdiagnosis, and subsequent lack of proper treatment. The purpose of this study was twofold: (1) to develop artificial neural networks that yield peak sensitivity for the recognition of right/left arm lead reversal at a very high specificity; and (2) to compare the performances of

Coreference resolution is the identification of phrases that refer to the same entity in a text. Current techniques to solve coreferences use machine-learning algorithms, which require large annotated data sets. Such annotated Resources are no tavailable for most languages today. In this paper, we describe a method for solving coreferences for Swedish and German using distant supervision that does

Microseismic monitoring of hydrofrac is an actively developing technology utilizing various acquizition arrays. In this paper we consider processing of microseismic data recorded by specific surface network geometry-patch arrays (far separated local receiver groups). The project aim is to produce an optimal partial stacking of the data within patches for improving a signal to noise ratio for micro

We consider the potential for positioning with a system where antenna arrays are deployed as a large intelligent surface (LIS). We derive Fisher-informations and Cram\'{e}r-Rao lower bounds (CRLB) in closed-form for terminals along the central perpendicular line (CPL) of the LIS for all three Cartesian dimensions. For terminals at positions other than the CPL, closed-form expressions for the Fishe

Respiratory mechanics, using flow interruption, was previously studied during the complete breath in healthy ventilated man, numerical techniques relieving constraints regarding flow pattern. The classical linear model of non-Newtonian behaviour was found to be valid. The present study was extended to subjects with critical lung disease. Subjects with acute lung injury (ALI; n = 2), acute respirat

This paper provides an initial investigation on the application of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for fingerprint-based positioning using measured massive MIMO channels. When represented in appropriate domains, measured massive MIMO channels have a sparse structure which can be efficiently learned by CNNs for positioning purposes. We evaluate the positioning accuracy of state-of-the-art CNNs

Objectives: In Sweden, lung transplantation has been performed in patients with end-stage lung disease since 1990. We assessed survival after lung transplantation for cystic fibrosis (CF) with focus on early mortality and outcome for patients infected with certain multiresistant bacteria, considered a relative contraindication for lung transplantation. METHODS: Review of CF and transplant database

Popular Abstract in Swedish Biotekniska läkemedel blir allt vanligare och behandlar några av våra viktigaste sjukdomar. Några exempel är insulin för diabetes, tillväxthormon, vacciner, och antikroppar som används i behandling av bland annat cancer, rheumatism och mag- tarmsjukdomar. Dessa läkemedel är proteiner eller peptider som tillverkas i jäst eller djurceller och sedan måste utvinnas ur celleTo design efficient and safe biopharmaceutical production processes, understanding the process and how it is affected by changes in the process conditions is essential. Experimental data form the basis of this understanding which can be enhanced by modeling and simulations of the physical and chemical processes known to control the process. This thesis describes modeling of preparative chromatogra
