The Upper Paraná River Basin (UPRB) has undergone many rapid land use changes in recent decades, due to accelerating population growth. Thus, the prediction of water resources has crucial importance in improving planning and sustainable management. This paper presents a large-scale hydrological modelling of the UPRB, using the Soil andWater Assessment Tool (SWAT) model. The model was calibrated an
Each year, massive numbers of insects fly across the continents at heights of hundreds of meters, carried by the wind, bringing both environmental benefits and serious economic and social costs. To investigate the insects' flight behavior and their response to winds, entomological radar has proved to be a particularly valuable tool; however, its observations of insect orientation are ambiguous wit
Spelutvecklingsbranschen är på stark tillväxt i Sverige och under 2017 ökade antalet anställda i branschen med ca 25 procent, vilket motsvarar ca 1 000 personer. Branschen har stora utmaningar med sin kompetensförsörjning, som en konsekvens av den snabba tillväxten. I Nordamerika där branschen etablerades tidigare än i Sverige har en del studier gjorts på spelutvecklares arbetsvillkor. Flera av de
The concept of stochastic regularity in lattice models corresponds to the physical constraint that the lattice parameters defining particle stochastic motion (specifically, the lattice spacing and the hopping time) attain finite values. This assumption, that is physically well posed, as it corresponds to the existence of bounded mean free path and root mean square velocity, modifies the formulatio
Split Vision Urbanism HK is a design research project located at the intersection of urban governance, architectural design, and media arts. It seeks to critically address the relationship between formal and informal structures in order to uncover the hidden potentials of porous urban space, extracting new territories for design practices to engage the generative aspects of high density. Drawing o
In terms of climate change and precipitation, there is large interest in how large-scale climatic features affect regional rainfall amount and rainfall occurrence. Large-scale climate elements need to be downscaled to the regional level for hydrologic applications. Here, a new Nonhomogeneous Hidden Markov Model (NHMM) called the Bayesian-NHMM is presented for downscaling and predicting of multisit
This paper uses the three spatial design workshops D-Thinking Urban Strategy; Re-Ts >> Space(s) Innovation, and ZHUuGROUND 14 as the intellectual framework to evaluate experimentation as a pedagogical model in current interdisciplinary design education. The three workshops were conducted by the independent teaching and research organization, the Research Institute for Experimental Architecture (RI
Objectives To evaluate the occurrence of low back pain (LBP) and LBP that limits work ability, to identify their potential early risks and to quantify occupational physical activity in Swedish Armed Forces (SwAF) marines during their basic 4 month marine training course. Design Prospective observational cohort study with weekly follow-ups. Participants Fifty-three SwAF marines entering the trainin
Mucins and their glycosylation have been suggested to play an important role in colorectal carcinogenesis. We examined potentially functional genetic variants in the mucin genes or genes involved in their glycosylation with respect to colorectal cancer (CRC) risk and clinical outcome. We genotyped 23 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) covering 123 SNPs through pairwise linkage disequilibrium (
The hMRI toolbox is an open-source toolbox for the calculation of quantitative MRI parameter maps from a series of weighted imaging data, and optionally additional calibration data. The multi-parameter mapping (MPM) protocol, incorporating calibration data to correct for spatial variation in the scanner’s transmit and receive fields, is the most complete protocol that can be handled by the toolbox
Cross-sections of associated production of a Higgs boson decaying into bottomquark pairs and an electroweak gauge boson, W or Z, decaying into leptons are measured as a function of the gauge boson transverse momentum. The measurements are performed in kinematic fiducial volumes defined in the ‘simplified template cross-section’ framework. The results are obtained using 79.8 fb−1 of proton-proton c
Ethics, Science and Society: Challenges for BioPolitics is an international project of academic research, scientific dissemination, and social and political responsibility, sponsored by the Luso-American Development Foundation. Its main objective is to stress the importance of this triptych-style approach – ethics, science, society – to address some of the current and major challenges facing human
