The electricity market exhibits significant uncertainty arising from rapid fluctuations in prices, variations in load demand, and the intermittent nature of renewable energy resources. Effectively managing residential energy under these dynamic conditions is a challenging task. Demand Response (DR) offers a practical solution by enabling the flexible scheduling of energy consumption in response to
High voltage long pulse klystron modulators typically use pulse transformers, where the length of the pulse dictates the size of the transformer. Recent advancements in power electronics applied to modulator technology, in order to facilitate multi-millisecond long pulse generation, instead suggests use of high frequency transformers in a high frequency pulse modulation/demodulation scheme, elimin
Popular Abstract in Swedish Blodbildningen är en av kroppens livligaste processer. Varje dag bildas det upp mot en triljon (12 nollor!) mogna blodceller. De röda blodkropparna står för transporten av syre, de vita blodkropparna försvarar mot infektioner och trombocyterna deltar i blodlevringen. Bildningen av blodceller sker i benmärgen och kan liknas vid ett träd, där roten utgörs av de så kalladeGranulocyte-macrophage- (GM-) and granulocyte- (G-) colony stimulating factor (CSF) are important cytokines in the regulation of hematopoiesis and for the function of mature blood cells. They are also involved in the cytokine network regulating the inflammatory and immune response. The aim of this study was to investigate the regulation of GM- and G-CSF production at the cellular level. The studie
We evaluated clinical significance of serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)-IgM immune complexes, in comparison with free AFP, on the diagnosis of primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Serum levels of AFP-IgM immune complexes and free AFP were determined by the ELISA method and electrochemiluminescence, respectively, in 103 healthy controls, 74 patients suffering from primary HCC, 27 patients suffering
This paper contains a joint ESHG/ASHG position document with recommendations regarding responsible innovation in prenatal screening with non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT). By virtue of its greater accuracy and safety with respect to prenatal screening for common autosomal aneuploidies, NIPT has the potential of helping the practice better achieve its aim of facilitating autonomous reproductive
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether serum cystatin C is more accurate than serum creatinine in the detection of diabetic nephropathy, also after adjustment for age.METHODS: Forty-one patients with type 1 and 82 patients with type 2 diabetes were evaluated with serum creatinine, serum cystatin C, and (51)Cr-EDTA clearance (reference method). Cystatin C was measured by a particle-enhanced turbidimetric
The term bibliotherapy is well known in several scientific fields as well as among practitioners in the US and in the UK, but in Sweden there seems to be a more modest use of the term as well as presence of practical bibliotherapeutic activity. On the other hand, some of the effects of reading that are commonly associated with bibliotherapy in the scientific literature seems to be similar to the e
For a long time, Quentin Skinner has been one of the world’s most prominent figures in the discipline of intellectual history. As one of the leading proponents of what has come to be known as “the Cambridge school” he has always been a strong advocate for the implementation of a singular historical method, based on a mix of, what I would call, a “Collingswoodian contextualism” and an “Austian spee
The project was performed for FAS Converting Machinery AB (FAS) in Ystad with supervision from Industriell Elektroteknik och Automation at LTH. FAS is a company that makes machines for producing plastic bags on a roll. The problem given was to develop a sensor for detecting the perforations in the bags to ensure that the correct amount of bags was rolled up and that the tearing was in the right pl
COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy poses a threat to the success of vaccination programmes currently being implemented. Concerns regarding vaccine effectiveness and vaccine-related adverse events are potential barriers to vaccination; however, it remains unclear whether tailored messaging and vaccination programmes can influence uptake. Understanding the preferences of key groups, including students, coul
Transient electromagnetic (TEM) is an efficient non-invasive method to map electrical conductivity distribution in the subsurface. This paper presents an inversion scheme for 3-D TEM time-lapse (TL) data using a generalized minimum support (MS) norm and its application to monitoring conductivity changes over time. In particular, two challenges for TL TEM applications are addressed: (i) the survey
As pressure on land-use increase due to climate change and a transition to fossil-free energy sources, there is a growing interest in the potential to combine agricultural activities with ground-mounted solar energy parks. While claiming agricultural land for energy production sparks a lot of debate, a potential compromise may lie in utilizing depleted agricultural land for solar farms, purposely
Stora språkmodeller (LLM) har uppvisat anmärkningsvärda förmågor inom en rad olika uppgifter inom naturlig språkbehandling (NLP). Deras prestanda är dock mycket känslig för den inledande prompt som används för att fråga dem. Manuell promptkonstruktion, även om den är effektiv, är ofta tidskrävande och kräver betydande expertis. Denna avhandling undersöker promptoptimering, med fokus på en automatiLarge Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities across various Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks. However, their performance is highly sensitive to the input prompt used to query them. Manual prompt engineering, while effective, is often time-consuming and requires significant expertise. This thesis investigates Prompt Optimization, focusing on a closed-loop, automated
Material science has become an important research area in order to fulfill today’s requirements on lighter, cheaper and more sustainable materials. The European spallation source is a research center based on the world’s most powerful neutron source, which will enable new possibilities to evaluate material properties down to an atomic level. The linear accelerator (Linac), accelerates with help of
The last part of the product design process is called embodiment design, it aims to give a “physical body” to the product so as to make it ready to use. It is on that particular part of the design activity that I was working, I was included in the research for the embodiment design team of the machine design division in LTH. The main research work was upon the process of this phase, to try to unde
The main focus of this thesis has been to examine and compare how the size and number of internal power transformers affects the technical performance (robustness, power quality and efficiency) of a utility-scale PV plant. The technical performance was examined in a simulation environment (MATLAB Simulink), where a PV plant with a fixed number of PV arrays and converters, corresponding to a rated
Hybrid solutions that combine multiple renewable energy sources, such as solar power and hydro power, are gaining popularity as a means of meeting the growing energy demands while minimising environmental impacts, but also as an opportunity of connecting solar power plants to the grid in areas where this might not be possible unless large investments are made. This master thesis aims to evaluate t
Oats (Avena sativa) are part of the cereal whole grain family, and their production is on the rise for the past few years due to extensive research done on the health benefits it can provide to humans. ScanOats project in Sweden is one of the research groups across the world that has done extensive work on oats. The lines CT-BG-53, CT-BG-21, and CT-BG-37 are mutant lines harvested by Crop Tailor A
