We consider waveform iterations for dynamical coupled problems, or more specifically, PDEs that interact through a lower-dimensional interface. We want to allow for the reuse of existing codes for the subproblems, called a partitioned approach. To improve computational efficiency, different and adaptive time steps in the subsolvers are advisable. Using so-called waveform iterations in combination

Thermoresponsive microgels are one of the most investigated types of soft colloids, thanks to their ability to undergo a Volume Phase Transition (VPT) close to ambient temperature. However, this fundamental phenomenon still lacks a detailed microscopic understanding, particularly regarding the presence and the role of charges in the deswelling process. This is particularly important for the widely

BACKGROUND: Monitoring levels and trends in premature mortality is crucial to understanding how societies can address prominent sources of early death. The Global Burden of Disease 2016 Study (GBD 2016) provides a comprehensive assessment of cause-specific mortality for 264 causes in 195 locations from 1980 to 2016. This assessment includes evaluation of the expected epidemiological transition wit

Aquaporins (AQPs) also referred to as Major intrinsic proteins, regulate permeability of biological membranes for water and other uncharged small polar molecules. Plants encode more AQPs than other organisms and just one of the four AQP subfamilies in Arabidopsis thaliana, the water specific plasma membrane intrinsic proteins (PIPs), has 13 isoforms, the same number as the total AQPs encoded by th

How do you attract visitors to your city? How do you manage to be visible in the information flow for potential visitors? Urban Destination Marketing Organisations (DMO) operate in a fast changing environment with ongoing challenges to face. Digitalisation is one of the issues that DMOs have to handle. As a result, we can see that many tourism offices are closed down in Sweden. However, has new

Studies conducted in historical populations and developing countries have evidenced the existence of clustering in infant deaths, which could be related to genetic inheritance, early life exposures, and/or to social and cultural factors such as education, socioeconomic status or parental care. A transmission of death clustering has also been found across generations. This paper is one of five stud

This study examines the causal effects of birth weight on two health-related outcomes: inpatient hospitalizations and sickness absences, distinguishing between different diagnoses. Our analysis exploits differences within siblings and within twin pairs, using full population Swedish register data on cohorts born between 1973 and 1995, observed through childhood and in adulthood. In childhood, ther

In patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) for end-stage renal failure, the optimum electrolyte composition of a dialysis solution is that which best serves the homeostatic needs of the body. Comparing the transperitoneal removal of electrolytes by conventional PD solutions (CPDSs) with that by normal kidneys, it is evident that peritoneal removal is in the lower range of what can be consider

Research has been pointing out that productivity in the building industry is stagnant and in some cases declining. Poor productivity of craftsmen is one of the causes of cost and time overruns on building projects. Productivity of labour is particularly important especially in developing countries where most of the building work is still carried out on manual basis. The objective of this research

The evolution of complex life over the past 600 million years was disrupted by at least five mass extinctions, one of which occurred at the close of the Triassic period. The end-Triassic extinction corresponds to a period of high atmospheric-CO 2 concentrations caused by massive volcanism and biomass burning; most extinction scenarios invoke the resulting environmental perturbations in accounting

The question of rent as a political economic driver of urban change is not new to radical geography. Yet, it seems curious that while Differential Rents are considered pertinent, absolute rent is almost entirely replaced by (class-)monopoly rent. In Marxian political economy there exist at least two distinctive traditions regarding economic crisis theory. First is Monopoly Capitalism School that i

We study opinion dynamics in social networks using a version of the concatenated Friedkin-Johnsen model, where the opinion evolution of the participating agents is allowed to continue over sequences of related issues. These agents have a certain associated stubbornness that anchors them to their initial opinion, which we allow them to update between issues. The central purpose of the present work

JavaDL is a domain-specific language (DSL) for writing static program analyses in a declarative logic programming style, based on Datalog. The key feature of this DSL is the ability to pattern-match on literal source code syntax and reason non-locally through declarative programming. Static program analyses generally suer from producing false positive alarms. This results in developers having to

Organic micropollutants comprise a diverse set of molecules, varying both with regard to the frequency of their use, as well as the potential harm they can inflict upon aquatic ecosystems. Ozonation has been recognized as an efficient method for their abatement, due to its ability to selectively oxidize molecular groups commonly found on organic molecules. Micropollutants are, however, rarely degr
