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

The petrochemicals industry (mainly plastics and fertilizer production) is expanding, despite increasing attention to the environmental impact of petrochemicals. In our paper, we explore the role public finance plays in the petrochemicals industry. We do so by mapping the public and private financial flows into large-scale petrochemical projects for the decade 2010-20 and discuss the role of publi

In the quest for the development of faster and more reliable technologies, the ability to control the propagation, confinement, and emission of light has become crucial. The design of guide mode resonators and perfect absorbers has proven to be of fundamental importance. In this project, we consider the shape optimization of a periodic dielectric slab aiming at efficient directional routing of lig

Meshless methods are a promising new field in computational electromagnetics. Instead of relying on an explicit mesh topology, a numerical solution is computed on an unstructured set of collocation nodes. This allows to model fine geometrical details with high accuracy and facilitates the adaptation of node distributions for optimization or refinement purposes. The radial point interpolation metho

Technologies developed since the late eighteenth century differ from earlier forms of technology by being as dependent on world market prices of labour, land and other biophysical resources as on human inventiveness. Yet, whether their outlook is mainstream or heterodox, modern people tend to view technology simply as ingenuity applied to nature, while oblivious of the extent to which it is contin

Comprehensive integration of process steps into a miniaturised version of synthetic biology workflows remains a crucial task in automating the design of biosystems. However, each of these process steps has specific demands with respect to the environmental conditions, including in particular the composition of the surrounding fluid, which makes integration cumbersome. As a case in point, transform

BACKGROUND: The shortage of trained surgeons, anesthesiologists, and obstetricians is a major contributor to the unmet need for surgical care in low- and middle-income countries, and the shortage is aggravated by migration to higher-income countries.METHODS: We performed a cross-sectional observational study, combining individual-level data of 43,621 physicians from the Health Professions Council

This article aims to explore what working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic means for workplace relationships. This study is based on semi-structured interviews with Swedish knowledge workers. Three approaches are identified as regards how employees maintain their workplace relationships when working from home: (1) being selective as regards social interactions, (2) being compliant and resist

Well-designed block copolymers with a controlled co-continuous microphase morphology can be applied as efficient anion exchange membranes (AEMs) for fuel cells and water electrolyzers. In the present work, we have prepared and studied a series of BAB triblock copolymers consisting of a central cationic polyfluorene A block with flanking hydrophobic polystyrene B blocks, where the fluorene units of

We study construction problems where multiple robots rearrange stacks of prefabricated blocks to build stable structures. These problems are challenging due to ramifications of actions, true concurrency, and requirements of supportedness of blocks by a surface or a robot and stability of the overall structure at all times. We propose a general elaboration tolerant method to solve a wide range of c

A method for generating motion-corrected medical images includes obtaining, via a processor, k-space data of a region of interest acquired by a magnetic resonance imaging system utilizing a 3D radial pulse sequence with ZTE acquisition including optional magnetization preparation pulses. The method also includes sampling, via the processor, the k-space data to obtain a plurality of interleaved k-s

Nanoparticles of MIL-101(Cr) have been fabricated using a hydrothermal method for the first time. The particle size can be controlled from 19 (4) nm to 84 (12) nm, by using a monocarboxylic acid as a mediator. These nano MIL-101(Cr) materials exhibit higher selectivities for CO2 over N2 than bulk MIL-101(Cr). This journal is
