High resolution real time heat release analysis will become increasingly important in the future development of engine control systems. The increased demands on efficiency and emissions will put high demands on future engine control. Future engine concepts, for example the HCCI engine concept might crave cylinder pressure based Closed-Loop Combustion Control (CLCC). The analysis of cylinder pressu
The aim of this paper is to chart the relevant studies and research questions concerning the relationship between ICTs and Mobility in Everyday Life – a concept defined and delineated in a previous paper An Agenda for ‘Mobility in Everyday Life’ for ICT Researchers (Haddon, 2000a).
Biological nutrient removal processes for municipal wastewaters have received quite some attention during the past decades, especially due to the introduction of stricter legislation with respect to allowable effluent pollutant discharge limits. The necessity for performance improvement of existing activated sludge wastewater treatment plants (ASWWTPs) has created a need for detailed process model
The precursors, [ 35S]sulfate and [2- 3H]mannose, were used to study the biosynthesis of keratan sulfate and other oligosaccharides on proteoglycans isolated from Day 8 cultures of chick limb bud chondrocytes. After alkaline borohydride treatment, three fractions with sialic acid were separated by molecular sieve chromatography. The first contained keratan sulfate which was purified by digestion w
As automatic sensing and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) get cheaper, building monitoring data is easier to obtain. The abundance of data leads to new opportunities in the context of energy efficiency in buildings. This paper describes ongoing developments and first results of data-driven grey-box modelling for buildings. A Python toolbox is developed based on a Modelica library wit
Subband adaptive filters have been proposed to avoid the drawbacks of slow convergence and high computational complexity associated with time domain adaptive filters. Subband processing introduces transmission delays caused by the filter bank and signal degradations due to aliasing effects. One efficient way to reduce the aliasing effects is to allow a higher sample rate than critically needed in
Purpose– The purpose of this study is to analyse the views stock market actors have on corporate communication of corporate social responsibility (CSR) information grounded on legitimacy and stakeholder theory. Recent findings suggest that management teams experience an increased interest and demand for CSR information from the actors on the stock market and that this underlie a focus shift. This
Anorectal malformations (ARM) are rare congenital anomalies with an overall prevalence of 3.32 per 10,000 pregnancies. ARM describe a spectrum of anomalies of the anus and rectum ranging from a minimally displaced anal canal to a complete fusion of the anorectum, vagina and urethra with hypoplastic sphincter and pelvic floor muscle. Aberrant septation of the hindgut with anomalous cloacal membrane
The Rodinia supercontinent broke apart during the Neoproterozoic. Rodinia break-up is associated with widespread intraplate magmatism on many cratons, including the c. 720–719 Ma Franklin large igneous province (LIP) of Laurentia. Coeval magmatism has also been identified recently in Siberia and South China. This extensive magmatism terminates ∼1 myr before the onset of the Sturtian Snowball Earth
AIMS: Cellular communication network factor 2 (CCN2) is a matricellular protein implicated in fibrotic diseases, with ongoing clinical trials evaluating anti-CCN2-based therapies. By uncovering CCN2 as abundantly expressed in non-diseased artery tissue, this study aimed to investigate the hypothesis that CCN2 plays a pivotal role in maintaining smooth muscle cell (SMC) phenotype and protection aga
Background: Guidelines recommend neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and radical cystectomy (RC) for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). Current recommendations do not consider genomic profiles, although the Basal/Squamous (Ba/Sq) subtype is less likely to respond to NAC compared to Urothelial-like (Uro) and Genomically Unstable (GU) subtypes. The aim of this study is to perform cost-effectiveness a
Background: The existence of a “minority tax,” defined as the burden of extra responsibilities placed on minorities relative to non-minorities of the same position, has been documented across various fields, including and beyond medicine. This study sought to quantify the types and extent of the minority tax faced by minority orthopaedic surgeons, as well as evaluate the degree to which this work
Hybrid zones present a unique framework to study the genetic basis of reproductive isolation and speciation. The European fire-bellied toad (Bombina bombina) and yellow-bellied toad (B. variegata) hybridize in a zone across several thousand kilometres in Central Europe. The Bombina system has been examined for more than a century and its scientific legacy comprises the development of the ultilocus
Tasquinimod is an anti-tumor drug that is currently in clinical development for the treatment of solid cancers. After oral administration, tasquinimod and a number of its metabolites are excreted in the urine. The quantitative determination of tasquinimod in urine is challenging because of the required sensitivity (down to 0.1nM or 40pg/mL), the highly variable nature of this biological matrix and
I samband med att vår ekonomi blir allt mer globaliserad har företag fått en ökad rörlighet vilket i sin tur medfört att staterna försöker locka till sig dessa företag genom att utlova olika förmånliga skatteerbjudanden. Resultatet har blivit att stater skattemässigt konkurrerar med andra stater om företag genom att framstå som det mest attraktiva valet ur skattesynpunkt. Konkurrensen går allmänt
