Decision-making is central to Software Product Management (SPM) and includes deciding on requirements priorities and the content of coming releases. Several algorithms for prioritization and release planning have been proposed, where humans with or without machine support enact a series of steps to produce a decision outcome. Instead of applying some specific algorithm to find an acceptable soluti

Background: Studies of patient-rated outcome in septoplasty and turbinoplasty most frequently involve several surgeons with varying surgical skills, techniques and experience. The aim of the present study was to evaluate outcome based on one experienced surgeon. Methods: Three hundred and sixty-six consecutive patients referred for nasal obstruction were included. All the patients were examined wi

Introduction: One of the vital skills which has an impact on emotional health and well-being is the regulation of emotions. In recent years, the neural basis of this process has been considered widely. One of the powerful tools for eliciting and regulating emotion is music. The Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC) is part of the emotional neural circuitry involved in Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Th

Although invasive species are recognized as a major threat to freshwaters, little is known about how future climate warming will affect the success of invaders. Ecosystems are also often simultaneously impacted by multiple, potentially interacting, invading species and the management of species invasions can be incredibly difficult. Sensitive methods such as environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding,

Southwest China has been the largest terrestrial carbon sink in China over the past 30 years, but has recently experienced a succession of droughts caused by high precipitation variability, potentially threatening vegetation productivity in the region. Yet, the impact of precipitation anomalies on the vegetation primary productivity is poorly known. We used an asymmetry index (AI) to explore possi

Droplets generated by talking and coughing play a major role in the spreading of COVID-19. There is thus a need for accurate measurements of the physical properties of exhaled droplets, including their number, speed and direction.Several challenges are associated with imaging coughed droplets such as high droplet speed near the mouth where both short exposure time to freeze droplet motion and kHz

The annealing behaviour of swift heavy-ion tracks in apatite from different origins is studied as a function of their crystallographic orientation and the mineral composition. The tracks were generated by irradiating the apatite samples with 2.3 GeV Bi ions, which have a comparable rate of energy loss to fission tracks in this mineral. The track radius was investigated using synchrotron-based smal

In this paper, we present an adaptive spectral projection based finite element method to numerically approximate the solution of the wave equation with memory. The adaptivity is not restricted to the mesh (hp-adaptivity), but it is also applied to the size of the computed spectrum (k-adaptivity). The meshes are refined using a residual based error estimator, while the size of the computed spectrum

A low leakage rate sealant of 10 wt% ZrO2-added CaO–K2O–Na2O–BaO silicate glass for SOFC has been studied. The structure of the sealant is stable at high temperatures with leakage rates less than 10−4 sccm∙cm−1, and no crystal except for ZrO2 is found in XRD analysis after heating at 800 °C for 100 h. ZrO2 is distributed in the glass matrix and plays a supporting role in avoiding over-softening at

Despite a long history and the vast number of applications demonstrated, very few market products incorporate acoustophoresis. Because a human operator must run and control a device during an experiment, most devices are limited to proof of concepts. On top of a possible detuning due to temperature changes, the human operator introduces a bias which reduces the reproducibility, performance and rel

Purpose Hypertension is a leading causeof premature death worldwide and a major public health problem. This study investigated the long-term effects (>1 year) of digital hypertension monitoring by home blood pressure (HBP) measurements in combination with individualized remote treatment via a Swedish Digital Therapeutics platform in a large patient population. Methods The primary endpoint, HBP, an

Background: The software engineering community has expressed growing concern regarding the need for more connections between research and practice. Despite the large amount of knowledge researchers generate, its impact on real-world practice is uncertain. Meanwhile, practitioners in industry often struggle to access and utilize relevant research outcomes that could inform and enhance their work.

The International Court of Justice has consistently required a stricter standard of proof for ‘charges of exceptional gravity’. The Bosnia Genocide and Croatia Genocide cases saw the Court require the high standard of ‘fully conclusive’ evidence across all elements of the allegations of genocide. Despite the difficulties associated with obtaining the necessary evidence of the intent of the perpetr
