Gas-liquid displacement in porous media widely exists in many terrestrial/extraterrestrial subsurface resource extraction and utilization applications. The typical fingering displacement during gas invading has been well identified through extensive research efforts. Yet, the evolution of fingering structures after invading breakthrough is rarely reported. Herein, through a joint approach of exper
ObjectivesThe Behavioural Pain Scale has previously been translated into Swedish and psychometrically tested. One of the domains- ‘compliance with ventilation’- did not show equally as good psychometric proprieties as the other domains, which led to the question whether a development of that domain would be beneficial. This study aimed to develop the domain of ‘breathing pattern’ in the Swedish ve
In this paper, we argue that modern pre-integration methods for inertial measurement units (IMUs) are accurate enough to ignore the drift for short time intervals. This allows us to consider a simplified camera model, which in turn admits further intrinsic calibration. We develop the first-ever solver to jointly solve the relative pose problem with unknown and equal focal length and radial distort
Denna avhandling riktar sig mot tre viktiga problem inom kognitiv sjukdom:1) Vi saknar idag kliniska verktyg för att med säkerhet kunna ge en korrekt demensdiagnos. Det enda sättet man med 100 % säkerhet kan avgöra vilken specifik kognitiv sjukdom en person lidit av är genom obduktion och efterföljande undersökning av hjärnan. Endast en liten andel av forskningen inom detta fält rör individer som The first aim of this thesis was to evaluate the prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CaVD), hypertension (HT), and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in the neurodegenerative disorders Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Lewy body disease (LBD). These conditions are considered modifiable risk factors for vascular dementia (VaD), and recent research has proposed its association with AD. The field is consid
This paper considers the problem of jointly designing the transmit waveforms and weights for a frequency diverse array (FDA) in a spectrally congested environment in which unintentional spectral interferences exist. Exploiting the properties of the interference signal induced by the processing of the multi-channel mixing and low-pass filtering FDA receiver, the interference covariance matrix struc
Correlations between mean transverse momentum [pT] and anisotropic flow coefficients v2 or v3 are measured as a function of centrality in Pb–Pb and Xe–Xe collisions at sNN=5.02 TeV and 5.44 TeV, respectively, with ALICE. In addition, the recently proposed higher-order correlation between [pT], v2, and v3 is measured for the first time, which shows an anticorrelation for the presented centrality ra
OBJECTIVES: The primary aim of this study was to describe the ultrasound features of various endometrial and other intracavitary pathologies in women without abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) using the International Endometrial Tumor Analysis (IETA) terminology. The secondary aim was to compare our findings with published data on women with AUB. METHODS: This was a prospective observational study of
Radar data at C-band has shown great potential for the monitoring of soil and canopy hydric conditions of wheat crops. In this study, the C-band Sentinel-1 time series including the backscattering coefficients σ0 at VV and VH polarization, the polarization ratio (PR) and the interferometric coherence ρ are first analyzed with the support of experimental data gathered on three plots of irrigated wi
The pentasaccharide glycoside corresponding to galactosylgloboside (SSEA-3), β-d-Gal p-(1 → 3)-β-d-Gal pNAc-(1 → 3)-α-d-Gal p-(1 → 4)-β-d-Gal p-(1 → 4)-β-d-Glc p-1-OCH2CH2Si-(CH3)3 (4), was synthesized via glycosylation (87%) of 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl 2,3,6-tri-O-benzyl-4-O-[2,3,6-tri-O-benzyl-4-O-(2,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-α-d-galactopyranosyl)-β-d- galactopyranosyl]-β-d-glucopyranoside (2) with the gl
With functions as diverse as communication, protection and thermoregulation, coloration is one of the most important traits in lizards. The ability to change colour as a function of varying social and environmental conditions is thus an important innovation. While colour change is present in animals ranging from squids, to fish and reptiles, not much is known about the mechanisms behind it. Tradit
Governments around the world have been shortening the leash on human rights non-governmental organization (NGO) watchdogs. Some see NGOs working in the field of human rights, and more recently, those working to fight impunity for serious violations, as Trojan Horses for foreign intervention in their internal affairs. Many worry that NGOs dictate United Nations (UN) human rights and international c
Pelvic floor reconstructive surgery (PFRS) has suffered from high recurrence rates ever since its birth. Implants were thus quickly employed, initially autologous grafts and allografts. Technological development led to the manufacturing of synthetic implants that were believed to provide the support needed during urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery. However, due to a surge
In recent works on the Enlightenment and the origin of modern Western thought, there is often a dichotomy between Moderate versus Radical Enlightenment. This essay evaluates the early experiences of freedom of print in Sweden and Denmark against the backdrop of such assertions. Sweden and Denmark were widely diverging polities but they obtained officially recognized freedom of the press at almost
Proton MR relaxation times T1 and T2 were determined in vitro in 136 small specimens of astrocytomas grades I-IV, of oligodendrogliomas, metastases of adenocarcinomas, meningiomas and acoustic neuromas. In addition, 7 samples of peritumoural white matter were analysed. The analysed specimens were studied microscopically in their entirety regarding tumour type and occurrence of necrosis and non-tum
All eight optical isomers of 3,7‐dimethyl‐2‐pentadecanyl acetate (diprionyl acetate), of high optical purity (>97.4%), were tested for a behavioural activity on male pine sawflies, Neodiprion sertifer (Geoffr.) (Hymenoptera: Diprionidae), in northern Europe. Males were strongly attracted to (2S, 3S, 7S)‐diprionyl acetate. Addition of more than 0.1% of the (2S, 3R, 7R)‐isomer reduced the catch and
