Multiconfigurational pair-density functional theory (MC-PDFT) offers a promising solution to the challenges faced by traditional density functional theory (DFT) in addressing molecular systems containing transition metals, open-shells, or strong correlations in general. By utilizing both the density and on-top pair-density, MC-PDFT can make use of a more flexible multiconfigurational wave function
Wetlands are integral components of our natural environment since they provide many critical ecosystem services to humanity, such as water purification, climate change mitigation, flood control, and biodiversity. Although wetlands can convey resilience to some degree of changes, they might be vulnerable to climate change. Altered hydrology and rising temperatures can turn the wetland services into
The use of low-cost immersive virtual reality systems is rapidly expanding. Several studies started to analyse the accuracy of virtual reality tracking systems, but they did not consider in depth the effects of external interferences in the working area. In line with that, this study aimed at exploring the static-positional accuracy and the robustness to occlusions inside the capture volume of the
Processing of geophysical data is a time consuming task involving many different steps. One approach for accelerating and automating processing of geophysical data is to look towards machine learning (ML). ML encompasses a wide range of tools, which can be used to automate complicated and/or tedious tasks. We present strategies for automating the processing of time-domain induced polarization (IP)
We have proposed that it is sufficient to provide a simple substratum on which regenerating axone may traverse a gap in a peripheral nerve. To test this hypothesis we set up a new experimental model in which sutures where used to bridge a 10 mm long defect in a peripheral nerve. A defect was created bilaterally in 25 rat sciatic nerves. The cut ends of the nerve were joined by three laps of a cont
The design of buildings using multilayer constructions poses a challenge for fire safety and needs to be understood. Narrow air gaps and cavities are common in many constructions, e.g. ventilated façade systems. In these construction systems flames can enter the cavities and fire can spread on the interior surfaces of the cavities. An experimental program was performed to investigate the influence
This study assesses the short and medium-term impact of extreme temperatures on population health and health-related costs in Germany. For 1999 to 2008, we link the universe of 170 million hospital admissions and all 8 million deaths with weather and pollution data at the day-county level. Extreme heat significantly and immediately increases hospitalizations and deaths. This finding holds irrespec
To provide insights into the fate of transposable elements (TEs) across timescales in a post-polyploidization context, we comparatively investigate five sibling Dactylorhiza allotetraploids (Orchidaceae) formed independently and sequentially between 500 and 100K generations ago by unidirectional hybridization between diploids D. fuchsii and D. incarnata. Our results first reveal that the paternal
Urbanisation is one of the biggest environmental challenges of our time, yet we still lack an integrative understanding of how cities affect behaviour, physiology and parasite susceptibility of free-living organisms. In this study, we focus on carotenoids, strictly dietary micronutrients that can either be used as yellow-red pigments, for integument colouration (signalling function), or as antioxi
Within a Bayesian decision theoretic framework we investigate some asymptotic optimality properties of a large class of multiple testing rules. A parametric setup is considered, in which observations come from a normal scale mixture model and the total loss is assumed to be the sum of losses for individual tests. Our model can be used for testing point null hypotheses, as well as to distinguish la
The manufacturing of miniaturized components is indispensable in modern industries, where the uncut chip thickness (UCT) inevitably falls into a comparable magnitude with the tool edge radius. Under such circumstances, the ploughing phenomenon between workpiece and tool becomes predominant, followed by the notable formation of dead metal zone (DMZ) and piled-up chip. Although extensive models have
Measurements of single neurone activity in the peripheral pheromone receptors of male Agrotis segetum (Denis and Schiffermuller) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) were performed in a wind tunnel using a portable electrophysiological recording unit. Filter paper and rubber septa loaded with synthetic sex pheromone, as well as individual conspecific female glands, were used as pheromone sources. Recordings,
Crystallographic fragment screening (CFS) provides excellent starting points for projects concerned with drug discovery or biochemical tool compound development. One of the fundamental prerequisites for effective CFS is the availability of a versatile fragment library. Here, we report on the assembly of the 1,103-compound F2X-Universal Library and its 96-compound sub-selection, the F2X-Entry Scree
Background: Pediatric allergic contact dermatitis is increasing. The patch-test allergens included in pediatric baseline series vary globally. The worldwide prevalence of pediatric reactions to allergens needs clarification. Objectives: Identify the prevalence, associated factors, and culprit allergens for contact allergy among patch-tested Thai children, and compare with those for adults. Methods
Ett av sexualbrottslagstiftningens huvudsyften är att skydda barn och ungdomar mot sexuella övergrepp. Mot bakgrund av barns särskilda skyddsbehov har därför bestämmelser till skydd för barn under 15 år och mellan 15 och 18 år införts i brottsbalkens sjätte kapitel. Vad särskilt gäller i fråga om åldersrekvisiten föreskrivs genom bestämmelsen i 6 kap. 13 § BrB att till ansvar ska dömas även den so
Syftet med studien var att undersöka effekten av imagery rescripting och in vivo exponering hos klienter med social ångest. Studien avsåg undersöka effekter på ångest, undvikande och negativa antaganden, samt om en session var tillräcklig för att skapa förändring. Studien ville också jämföra de två metoderna för att se om någon var mer effektiv. I aktuell studie randomiserades 23 studenter med ångThe purpose of the study was to examine the effects of imagery rescripting and in vivo exposure in clients with social anxiety. The study wanted to examine effects on anxiety, avoidance and negative beliefs, and whether one session was sufficient to create change. The study also aimed to compare the two methods to see if one was superior compared to the other. In the present study 23 students with
Under 2015 steg andelen konsumenter som handlat på mobilen från 16 % till hela 42 %. Ökningen kan bero på att hemsidor blir mer mobilanpassade. Trots det finns det fortfarande en del användare som uppfattar det som mindre säkert att handla på mobilen i jämfört med på en dator. Förtroenden för e-handel skapas i flera led, där gränssnittet bara en del som påverkar kundens tillit. Detta projekt gjordIn 2015 the amount of consumer that had shopped online using a mobile phone increased from 16% in year 2014 to 42%. The increase may be due to responsive web sites being more common. Despite better design for mobile phones there are still some customers that consider it less secure to shop with a phone compared to a computer. Trust for e-commerce is created in several stages, where the user interf
Uppsatsens övergripande syfte är att utifrån 2014 år sexualbrottskommitténs förslag utreda eventuella konsekvenser av en samtyckesreglering i våldtäktslagstiftningen, ur ett bevisrättsligt perspektiv. En våldtäkt kan se ut på flera sätt, den gemensamma nämnaren är att handlingen anses utgöra en gränslös kränkning av den sexuella integriteten och självbestämmanderätten. Dagens lagstiftning har fåThe main purpose of this essay is to examine, from the Sexual Offences Commissions proposal, the possible consequences of a regulation based on consent and how it will affect assessment of evidence. A rape can occur in a variety of ways, what they have in common is to be considered a boundless violation of a person’s sexual integrity and self-determination. Today’s legislation has received strong
Under hösten 2016 utlystes en sluten arkitekttävling om ett nytt kulturhus Bergsjön. Bergsjön är en stadsdel i utkanten av nord-östra Göteborg. Många upplever området som isolerat från resten staden både fysiskt och socialt. Bebyggelsen, som i stort sett är helt intakt från 60-och 70-talet, speglar de dåvarande idealen och bjuder på såväl möjligheter som utmaningar. Samtidigt ligger stadsdelen i mDuring the fall in 2016 the city of Gothenburg announced a competition for a new house of culture located in Bergsjön. Bergsjön is a district in the north east part of the city. A lot of people view the area as isolated from the rest of the city, both physically and socially. The near intact development from the 60s and 70s, reflect the ideals of the time which means both great possibilities and c
Idag kopplas allt fler enheter upp på Internet, vilket effektiviserar såväl enhetshantering som kommunikation mellan enheter. I hemmiljöer kan användare styra enheter genom att förse dem med beskrivande namn, som till exempel "högtalare vardagsrum". Så länge antalet enheter är begränsat är en sådan lösning ofta tillräcklig. I ett fall med ett stort antal enheter måste användaren dock hål
