The future opportunities for high-density QCD studies with ion and proton beams at the LHC are presented. Four major scientific goals are identified: the characterisation of the macroscopic long wavelength Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) properties with unprecedented precision, the investigation of the microscopic parton dynamics underlying QGP properties, the development of a unified picture of particle
Skildring av de profranska stämningarna inom Lunds universitet vid tiden för fransk-tyska kriget samt hur dessa sedan successivt förbyttes mot en ökad orientering mot Tyskland.
Membrane-bound water channels known as aquaporins (AQPs) facilitate water transport across biological membranes along osmotic gradients. Since all living cells depend on their ability to maintain water homeostasis, this must be tightly regulated. In eukaryotes, this is achieved by gating, which involves a conformational change of the protein, thereby physically blocking water transport, or by traf
This study explores the possibility that the delayed hypoperfusion observed after an ischemic insult might be due to vasoconstriction induced by the release of noradrenaline from nerves originating in the locus ceruleus. Bilateral 6-hydroxydopamine lesions of the ascending bundles from the locus ceruleus were carried out in the caudal mesencephalon of rats. Local CBF was measured with an autoradio
Normal sexual differentiation requires complex molecular events to take place in a precise order, and even though much knowledge has been gained in recent decades, further research is still needed to understand the pathogenesis of different disorders of sexual differentiation. For the clinician who is confronted with a child with sexual ambiguity, it is most important not to guess the sex but to i
This study analyses seven sufficiency-oriented SMEs in the French fashion sector, categorizing their strategies into efficiency, shift and sufficiency. It reveals the tension in balancing sustainability with financial viability, highlighting the systemic challenges posed by consumer preference for fast fashion.
Internet of Things (IoT) are one of the key enablers of personalized health. However, IoT devices often have stringent constraints in terms of resources, e.g., energy budget, and, therefore, limited possibilities to exploit the state-of-the-art Deep Neural Networks (DNNs). Energy-aware Neural Architecture Search (NAS) is proposed to tackle this challenge, by exploring lightweight DNN (DNN) archite
Ground source heat pump systems, operating in conjunction with vertical ground heat exchangers, will play a key role in decarbonising heating and cooling of buildings. Design of traditional borehole heat exchangers relies on tools which implement routine analytical relationships between heat transferred and the temperature change in the ground and circulating thermal fluid. However, for novel pile
Kármán vortex streets are repeating patterns of swirling vortices, appearing when a fluid passes an obstacle at Re>50. We present an array of interacting vortices, a Kármán vortex city, that arises when a DNA solution flows through an array of micro posts at Re <0.5. Above thresholds in concentration and flow rate, the vortices formed behind posts interact, leading to concentration fluctuation wav
The evolution of surfaces exposed to an aggressive environment and mechanical load is studied. The evolution is the initial part of a stress corrosion process that leads to pitting, crack initiation and growing cracks. In conventional fracture analyses the growth rate of the crack may be computed using a modified Paris' law. However, a known or a postulated crack is required. A serious drawback is
When acquiring simple three-dimensional (3d) trajectory data it is common to accumulate large coordinate data sets. In order to examine integrity and consistency of object tracking, it is often necessary to rapidly visualise these data. Ordinarily, to achieve this the user must either execute 3d plotting functions in a numerical computing environment or manually inspect data in two dimensions, plo
Technological innovation increasingly depends on multiscalar actor networks and institutions. However, the developers of many conceptual frameworks explaining innovation success have paid only limited attention to this new reality, due to their focus on regions and countries as agents that shape innovation governance and as containers that provide institutional conditions for innovation success. I
Analysing deadlock-freedom, boundedness and realtime constraints are crucial steps in the design of embedded streaming applications. Dataflow models of computation are often used to analyse such properties at design-time. To that end, scenario-based dataflow techniques isolate the individual operating scenarios of a dynamic application and analyse the executions of the possible scenario sequences.
Lifetime risk of developing breast cancer for Danish women is approx. 9%. Diagnostics are done by mammography, biopsy, and examination. Breast-conserving surgery followed by radiotherapy is standard for treatment of early-stage breast cancer. Studies report unsatisfying outcomes in up to one third of the patients. This review summarises the current surgical techniques. Oncoplastic breast surgery m
We show that recent robust adaptive beamformers, based on reconstructing either the noise-plus-interference or the data covariance matrices, are sensitive to the noise-plus- interference structure and degrade in the typical case when interferer steering vector mismatch exists, often performing much worse than common diagonally loaded sample covariance matrix based approaches, even when signal-of-i
