The methodology for production of biologics is going through a paradigm shift from batch-wise operation to continuous production. Lot of efforts are focused on integration, intensification, and continuous operation for decreased foot-print, material, equipment, and increased productivity and product quality. These integrated continuous processes with on-line analytics become complex processes, whi
In this paper I construct a system of semantics for classical and intuitionistic propositional logic based on epistemic norms governing belief expansion. Working in the AGM-framework of belief change, I give a generalisation of Gärdenfors’ notion of belief systems which can be defined without reference to a logical consequence operator by using a version of the Ramsey Test. These belief expansion
Optimising waste management is one of the key areas in sustainable development to protect public health and the environment. However, most countries are yet to achieve sustainable waste management due to increasing waste generation, limited landfill space, resource depletion, cost of recycling, public buy-in, etc. These challenges have resulted in poor waste management and environmental pollution
In X-ray macromolecular crystallography (MX), single-wavelength anomalous dispersion (SAD) and multi-wavelength anomalous dispersion (MAD) techniques are commonly used for obtaining experimental phases. For an MX synchrotron beamline to support SAD and MAD techniques it is a prerequisite to have a reliable, fast and well automated energy scan routine. This work reports on a continuous energy scan
Drought has negative impacts on water resources, food security, soil degradation, desertification and agricultural productivity. The meteorological and hydrological droughts prediction using standardized precipitation/runoff indices (SPI/SRI) is crucial for effective water resource management. In this study, we suggest ANFISWCA, an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) optimized by the wat
Non-lethal infections are common in free-living animals and the associated sickness behaviours can impact crucial life-history trade-offs. However, little is known about the duration and extent of such sickness behaviours in free-living animals, and consequently how they affect life-history decisions. Here, free-living Eurasian blackbirds, Turdus merula, were immune-challenged with lipopolysacchar
The Swedish electric vehicle fleet is rapidly growing, creating a need to include their charging demand in future grid planning. Charging stations are often placed based on the needs of the transport system, and the grid connection is considered at a later stage with long lead times. This study proposes selecting charging locations based on grid capacity. Doing this by probabilistic load flow requ
How are Black female candidates’ race and gender represented in newspaper coverage of electoral campaigns? Are intersectional stereotypes of Black women in general reflected in representations of Black women in elite politics? This study employs an open ended qualitative content analysis of coverage of the 2012 general election to consider the way in which racial and gendered references frame the
Aim: We aimed to describe clinical practices and criteria for discharge of very preterm infants in Nordic neonatal units. Methods: Medical directors of all 89 level-2 and level-3 units in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden were invited by e-mail to complete a web-based multiple-choice survey with the option to make additional free-text comments. Results: We received responses from 83/89
We built machine learning and image analysis tools in order to forecast winter wheat yield based on a rich multi dimensional tensor of agricultural information spanning different scales. This information consists of satellite multi-band images, local soil samples obtained from national databases, local weather as well as field data from 23 farms cultivating winter wheat in southern Sweden. This is
