The high frequency of contact allergy to gold in patients with dermatitis was established after exhaustive skin testing, determining the right test agent, the best concentration, and repeated test readings. Metallic gold in contact with skin is slowly ionized, permitting absorption and haptenisation. Contact allergy to gold is statistically correlated to the presence of dental gold. But in many ca

Post-silicon validation and debug, or ensuring that software executes correctly on the silicon of a multi-processor system-on-chip (MPSOC) is complicated, as it involves checking global properties that are distributed on the chip. In this paper we define an architecture to non-intrusively observe global properties at run time using distributed monitors. The architecture enables to perform actions

Voltage collapse was one of the main causes for many recent blackouts. The direct link between voltage stability and reactive power balance in the system leads to more attention toward reactive power resources in the power systems. Shunt reactors and capacitors are used to balance reactive power in the power systems. The strategy to control them in both normal and emergency conditions is an import

Popular Abstract in Swedish Behandling med radionuklidterapi baseras på radioaktiva läkemedel, d.v.s. läkemedel som i sig består av ett radioaktivt ämne, eller som kopplats till en radionuklid. Den strålningsenergi som avges vid de radioaktiva sönderfallen absorberas i vävnad och ger en lokalt absorberad stråldos där läkemedlet tas upp. Viktigt är härvid att upptaget är högre i patologisk vävnad äIndividual-based determinations of the absorbed dose in radionuclide therapy largely rely on absolute measurement of the activity distribution and its redistribution over time. Scintillation-camera imaging is the most commonly employed measuring technique, applied in planar or SPECT mode, sometimes in combination with structural images from CT. In this thesis, methods for processing and analysis o

e summarize our successful efforts to support in-tuitive programming of industrial robotic assemblytasks with a knowledge based approach to the rep-resentation of skills. These skills can be specified,re-used, refined and transferred between robotswith the help of a multimodal interface combinedwith kinesthetic teaching. We argue that while itis certainly possible and suitable to hav

The current and future strength of the terrestrial carbon sink has a crucial influence on the expected climate warming on Earth. Usually, Earth Observation (EO) by its very nature focusses on diagnosing the current state of the planet. However, it is possible to use EO products in data assimilation systems to improve not only the diagnosis of the current state, but also the accuracy of future pred

This paper presents the findings of the workshop “New approaches to evacuation modelling”, which took place on the 11th of June 2017 in Lund (Sweden)within the Symposium of the International Association for Fire Safety Science (IAFSS). The workshop gathered international experts in the field of fire evacuation modelling from 19 different countries and was designed to build a dialogue between the f

Complete data center failures may occur due to disastrous events such as earthquakes or fires. To attain robustness against such failures and reduce the probability of data loss, data must be replicated in another data center sufficiently geographically separated from the original data center. Implementing geo-replication is expensive as every data update operation in the original data center must

In this paper we describe our approach to robotic skill representation and a prototypical implementation of a programming-by-demonstration approach that allows users to generate skills and robot program primitives for later re- finement and re-use. We intend to evaluate the applicability of this approach to high-level programming in a user study, which we also explain.

Capability assessments are becoming increasingly common as part of risk management activities worldwide. Despite this, there is no consensus concerning how these assessments are best conducted and presented. Recent studies suggest that two factors may influence the usefulness of capability assessments for decision-making: namely, whether the assessment includes descriptions of the resources availa

1. IntroductionThe third wave of biotechnology – white biotechnology – started with the end of the 20th century with the goal to replace conventional chemical processes based on C2/C3 chemistry by biotechnological processes. In biotechnology fermentation is used as standard conversion process for the production of bulk fermentation products such as antibiotics, enzymes, bioethanol and organic acid

Powder materials containing copper ions supported on ZSM-5 (Cu-Zeolite Socony Mobil-5) and SSZ-13 (Cu-Standard Oil synthesised zeolite-13), and predominantly CuO nanoparticles on amorphous SiO2 were synthesised, characterised, wash-coated onto ceramic monoliths and, for the first time, compared as catalysts for direct conversion of methane to methanol (DCMM) at ambient pressure (1 atm) using O2, N

Background Screening for cervical cancer based on testing for human papillomavirus (HPV) increases the sensitivity of detection of high-grade (grade 2 or 3) cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, but whether this gain represents overdiagnosis or protection against future high-grade cervical epithelial neoplasia or cervical cancer is unknown. Methods In a population-based screening program in Sweden,
