Masonry reuse has gained increasing attention within sustainable construction due to the substantial use and the large environmental impact associated with construction and demolition waste. The bond between brick and mortar plays a critical role in both the structural performance of masonry and the potential for future brick reclamation. Strong brick–mortar bonds improve structural capacity but m
The Period genes (Per) play essential roles in modulating the molecular circadian clock timing in a broad range of species, which regulates the physiological and cellular rhythms through the transcription-translation feedback loop. While the Period gene paralogs are widely observed among vertebrates, the evolutionary history and the functional diversification of Per genes across vertebrates are no
Acute intracranial pressure spikes from bleeding or CSF obstructions are life-threatening, yet current intensive care relies on manual, periodic adjustments of external ventricular drains (EVDs). This time-consuming process risks severe under- or over-drainage due to varying drainage rates, highlighting the need for an automatic, volume-centered solution. This project demonstrates an automated sys
As the first domestic species, dogs likely dispersed with different cultural groups during the Late Pleistocene and Holocene. To test this hypothesis, we analyzed 73 ancient dog genomes, including 17 newly sequenced individuals sampled from East Asia to the West Eurasian Steppe spanning nearly 10,000 years. Our results indicate correlations between the ancestry of dogs and specific ancient human p
Wind generation’s growing share of Nordic electricity supply has made imbalance settlement an increasingly costly exposure for producers. Under the Nordic single-price mechanism, all residual imbalance is settled at a single imbalance price, regardless of direction, determined by the mFRR activation market. Before that price is known, the producer fixes a day-ahead position, adjusts on the continu
A classical and central problem in the theory of water waves is to classify parameter regimes for which non-trivial solitary waves exist. In the two-dimensional, irrotational, pure gravity case, the Froude number Fr (a non-dimensional wave speed) plays the central role. So far, the best analytical result Fr < √2 was obtained by Starr (1947 J. Mar. Res., vol. 6, pp. 175–193), while the numerical ev
We present a general technique for efficient computation of second order information for optimization functionals involving many variables of different nature, frequently appearing in modern applications. This technique relies on the bilinear Hessian, and while the main tools for this task have been published elsewhere, we here focus on the problem of how to organize the computations in the multi-
At Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), where the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) GP-SANS beamline is located, an experiment searching for the neutron Transition Magnetic Moment (nTMM) was conducted. This experiment is dependent on the magnetic field homogeneity and requires a magnetic field scanning precision of at least 4 μT. A previous experiment performed at the same facility used powerful m
This study investigates the association between individual-level characteristics and the risk ofhaving an unmet need for contraception in the United States between 2002 and 2017 for womenwho were sexually active, not pregnant or postpartum, fecund, and wanted no more children.Using data from the National Survey of Family Growth, logistic regression models are used toestimate the association betwee
Continuous non-invasive monitoring of respiratory rate in laboratory mice can support research across drug efficacy, sleep, and stress and pain assessment. Established respiratory rate estimation methods exist but many conflict with the 3Rs principle through invasiveness, motion restriction, or animal stress. A cross-method comparison between two non-invasive systems on the same freely-moving anim
Bakgrund: Arbetsrelaterad stress inom somatisk akutsjukvård påverkar sjuksköterskors förmåga att upprätthålla patientsäkerheten i en miljö präglad av hög arbetsbelastning, tids- och resursbrist samt oförutsägbarhet. Syfte: Att belysa hur sjuksköterskor upprätthåller patientsäkerheten vid arbetsrelaterad stress inom somatisk akutsjukvård. Metod: Sex semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med legi
This study investigates coupled reduced-order modeling to develop efficient methods for analyzing the vibro-acoustic response of geometrically nonlinear thin structures interacting with acoustic fluids, such as gas or liquid. Projection-based model reduction is adopted for the structural and fluid domain. To consider geometric nonlinearity, the reduced nonlinear restoring forces of the elastic str
The expansion of the European Union's (EU) regulatory sphere creates conflicts of sovereignty between the EU and its member states, and third countries that lack a possibility to participate in the making of those laws and policies. The conflict is epitomised in the concept of the Union's decision-making autonomy. Albeit stringently applied, the concept is ambiguous and undefined. This article end
An essential capability in modern electronic warfare is the ability to rapidly adapt to novel electromagnetic environments. This thesis proposes a statistical signal processing pipeline that reconstructs underlying repeating patterns from deinterleaved Signal Descriptor Word (SDW) sequences in a zero-shot context, where a signal is encountered for the first time. An important application of such a
The purpose of this study was to – through a case study with programme theory in consideration – investigate how a municipal project for unemployed young people by the name of Kaoskompaniet, financed by the European Social Fund, was working with empowerment. I also wanted to analyze how the project’s managers seemed to interpret the word “empowerment” based on how the project was implemented and r
Syftet med denna uppsats är att studera hur Malmö stad representerar problemet med bostadsbrist för unga vuxna i sina bostadsförsörjningsprogram samt hur problemrepresentationen har förändrats över tid. Hur problemet representeras påverkar vilka åtgärder som implementeras för att komma tillrätta med bostadsbristen i kommunen, vilket gör detta till ett intressant ämne att studera. Uppsatsens teoret
Varje år avlider i genomsnitt 100 personer i Sverige till följd av dödligt våld, däribland mord. På senare år har det höjts röster om att de som döms för mord många gånger döms till alltför lindriga straff, med hänsyn till att mord anses vara den mest klandervärda handling en människa kan begå. Följaktligen har lagstiftaren lagt fram ett förslag om att skärpa straffet för mord. I förarbetena framhAbout 100 people die each year in Sweden due to deadly violence such as murder. During recent years some people have claimed that the punishment for murder is not strict enough, considering the fact that taking a life is the most heinous crime that one can commit. Consequently, the Swedish legislator has suggested that the penalty for murder shall become stricter by making life imprisonment the st
We live an increasingly larger part of our lives online. The Internet has fundamentally changed how we find information, buy products, connect with friends and find entertainment such as video streaming and digital distribution of books. The Internet has changed the competitive landscape for many markets. Local sellers suddenly face competition from sellers around the globe, introducing more choic
This essay discusses the use of ecosystem services in the vity renewal project Norra Djurgårdsstaden in central Stockholm. The chosen method has been a document analysis where neoliberal planning tendencies was identified from five factors. This was then critically analyzed with the theoretical framework of Harveys theory about urban entrepreneurialism, and political ecology. Holgersens Green fix,
