Context. Despite the ever-increasing number of known exoplanets, no uncontested detections have been made of their satellites, known as exomoons. Aims. The quest to find exomoons is at the forefront of exoplanetary sciences. Certain space-born instruments are thought to be suitable for this purpose. We show the progress made with the CHaracterising ExOPlanets Satellite (CHEOPS) in this field using
Co-pathology is a common feature of neurodegenerative diseases that complicates diagnosis, treatment and clinical management. However, sensitive, specific and scalable biomarkers for in vivo pathological diagnosis are not available for most neurodegenerative neuropathologies. Here, we present ProtAIDe-Dx, a deep joint-learning model trained on 17,170 patients and controls that uses plasma proteomi
Building materials account for a high percentage of the non-land cost of self-help housing. Few studies, however, have examined the use of building materials by self-help builders and the practicalities of producing and distributing the materials in an alternative manner. This paper discusses the nature of construction by self-help in the intermediate-sized Colombian city of Pereira, focusing in p
The current framing of AI-driven technologies situates them as solutions to a looming care crisis. However, this overlooks informal caregivers' key role to current State budgetary deficits impacting healthcare services happening in Europe. As States increasingly rely on informal caregivers to provide care before the necessary involvement of healthcare services, there is already well-established re
Refugees drown, are beaten, and are pushed back at the borders of the states of the Global North. Moral outrage is understandable in the face of such treatment. But does it constitute a good political theory? Can morality supply us with good normative arguments for a political world? In this article, I argue that they cannot. Drawing on political realism, I show why moral arguments for admitting r
In fixed-bed reactors, the use of large particles in thermally thick regimes is common, which underscores the need for a comprehensive understanding of intraparticle processes. However, integrating detailed particle models into fixed-bed simulations is computationally expensive. This study introduces a tabulation method for biomass conversion’s drying and pyrolysis stages, where significant mass e
Lignins are a polymeric, renewable resource with remarkable structural diversity. Research is being conducted into the valorisation of lignins into value-added products. The absence of experimental libraries, in particular for process-modified oligomers, hampers analytical feedback to these valorisation efforts. Stochastic methods for generating libraries in-silico have been proposed, but were not
Considering the ever increasing financial damages of floods and the need to manage the surface water, the use of new and more sufficient methods seems to be necessary. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate capability of the Gamma, Beta, Chi-square, and Weibull probability distribution functions (PDFs) for flood hydrograph derivation. The present study was conducted in the Bar watershed,
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Beskrivning och kartläggning av vegetationen samt tolkning av jord, klimat och annan information är mycket viktigt för förståelse och planering för användande av naturresurser. Fenologi dvs växters årliga variationer, är nära korrelerad med dynamiken i atmosfären. Information om vegetationens fenologi på regional och global nivå är därför en viktigt komponent föVegetation phenology (seasonal rhythm) is closely related to seasonal dynamics in the lower atmosphere and is therefore an important element in global climatic models and vegetation monitoring. Remote sensing is the primary means by which we can observe the dynamic characters of the earth's biosphere. Description and mapping of the natural vegetation, and its interpretation in terms of soil, c
By using data from Ecovision on the DJ AIG commodity index made up of commodity futures and the OMX index consisting of Swedish equities I have estimated the correlation between Swedish equities and US commodity futures. The correlation has been examined in a multivariate GARCH setting by using the BEKK model. The purpose has been to examine if commodity futures from a US exchange market can impro
The global industrial sector is a highly polluting and greenhouse gas-emitting sector. As industries increasingly explore Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance operational efficiency and drive innovation, questions emerge regarding its alignment with sustainability objectives. While AI is often positioned as a key enabler of digital transformation, its sustainable integration into industrial ope
Emergency department (ED) wait times can be long, and not all patients can safely wait for treatment. Therefore, an effective emergency triage system is required to prioritize patients according to the urgency of their condition upon arrival at the ED. Assessing a patient’s level of urgency without access to complete physiological measurements is a complex task that is currently performed by nurse
The tea sector is one of Kenya's most important industries, with a big impact on the country's economy and socio-economic development. At the same time, tea manufacturing is highly energy-intensive and strongly affected by electricity tariffs and high production costs. Due to the favorable weather conditions and growing renewable energy ambitions in Kenya, Solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems p
Milk protein compositions play a pivotal role in physicochemical and technological properties of milk, particularly in rennet coagulation in cheese production. Conventional analytical methods such as sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and liquid chromatography–high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) provide detailed protein characterization but require long an
När ett nedslag gräver upp och modifierar Mars yta, genom att medföra material från djupare delar till ytan, öppnar det fönster ner till äldre geologi. Att försöka förstå ytegenskaper på Mars och hur källmaterialet beter sig vid ett nedslag kräver en metod från flera perspektiv. Tidigare forskning har främst fokuserat på ejecta och ejektamorfologi som en indikator på ytegenskaper. Däremot kan ävenWhen an impact excavates and modifies the Martian surface, by bringing deeper lying material to the surface, it opens a window into past geology. Trying to understand surface properties on Mars and how target material behaves during impact requires a multi-view approach. Previous research has focused mainly on ejecta emplacement and morphologies as a proxy for surface properties. However, interior
Summary: Existing approaches to modelling antibody concentration data are mostly based on finite mixture models that rely on the assumption that individuals can be divided into 2 distinct groups: seronegative and seropositive. Here, we challenge this dichotomous modelling assumption and propose a latent variable modelling framework in which the immune status of each individual is represented along
