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

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

Rhetoric is a teaching tradition. The rhetorical exercises in the progymnasmata are the foundation for the teaching culture of rhetoric. The exercises combine theory and practice, but the surviving texts by Hermogenes, Aphthonius and Nicolaus do not tell us how the exercises were used in teaching. In the preface to Theon’s progymnasmata 1.61-64 he gives a short description of his pedagogical meth

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

The development of a predictive control algorithm for glycaemia regulation in diabetic subjects requires patient-specific models of the glucose metabolism which are physiologically relevant, parsimonious, yet able to accurately forecast blood glucose. Given the measured data: total plasma insulin [mIU/L]; plasma glucose [mg/dL]; plasma glucose rate of appearance after intestinal absorption [mg/kg

Introduction of roughness by ribs in flow passages is a popular method of enhancing heat transfer in the cooling passages, e.g., of turbine blades and combustors. It is essential to accurately predict the enhancement of heat transfer generated by the ribs to ensure good design decisions. In most of the studies square ribs have been considered, but in practice such ribs may appear rounded due to im
