This paper treats the problem of control signal saturation caused by feedforward control from measurable load disturbances. An efficient feedforward compensator will often give significant peaks in the control signal at fast changes in the load disturbance. These peaks may cause the control signal to reach a saturation limit. In the paper, it is shown that the anti-windup function may cause unnece
Languages vary considerably in how they group objects into categories. For example, the word taza in Spanish can refer to either cup or mug in English, whereas glass can refer to either copa or vaso – two different types of glasses –, in Spanish. It is still debated whether such language distinctions cause differences in early perceptual processing between speakers of different languages. Here, fo
Aims: An observational nationwide all-comers prospective register study to analyse outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in unprotected left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease. Methods and results: All patients undergoing coronary angiography in Sweden are registered in the Swedish Web-system for Enhancement and Development of Evidence-b
Det övergripande syftet med denna studie, som ingick i forskningsprojektet Skånska hem: mottagande, etablering eller exkludering – hemlöshetspolitik och strategier för flyktingars bosättning, var att undersöka och beskriva Svalövs kommuns strategier för mottagande och bosättning av flyktingar och hemlösa kommuninvånare under åren 2018 till och med 2022. Forskningsprojektet ska ses mot bakgrund av
COVID-19 was first identified in Wuhan City in December 2019 and spread throughout Hubei Province and other parts of China. After causing significant morbidity and mortality in China, by February 2020, it had spread to numerous other countries, infecting millions of people and causing a large number of deaths across the world. The COVID-19 pandemic put a burden on almost all areas of the world inc
The paper introduces a new device for analyzing, teaching, and training jaw movements: the MARRYS helmet. We outline the motivation for the development of the helmet, describe its key advantages and features relative to those of the Electromagnetic Articulograph (EMA) and illustrate by means of selected study portraits the possible uses of the MARRYS helmet in the various fields of the empirical a
The vision of birds has been extensively studied, and alot is known about what they are able to see contrast sensitivity and acuity, in different light intensities, is known Still, visual perception depends on a combination of many stimulus parameters, which can make it difficult to predict the visibility of ecologically relevant stimuli.In this doctoral thesis I have investigate visual thresholds
IMPORTANCE An accurate prognosis is especially pertinent in mild cognitive impairment (MCI), when individuals experience considerable uncertainty about future progression. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the prognostic value of tau positron emission tomography (PET) to predict clinical progression from MCI to dementia. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This was a multicenter cohort study with external valid
In this article, we propose a post-processing scheme for the novel volumetric microscopy technique SILMAS. We demonstrate this scheme on data from an alpha-synuclein transgenic mouse brain. By combining structured illumination and axial sweeping, a SILMAS measurement provides a prerequisite for quantitative data extraction through improved contrast and optical sectioning. However, due to the techn
The term ‘artificial intelligence’ has arguably come to function in political discourse as, what Laclau called, an ‘empty signifier’. This article traces the shifting political discourse on AI within three key institutions of global governance–OHCHR, WHO, and UNESCO–and, in so doing, highlights the role of ‘crisis’ moments in justifying a series of pivotal re-articulations. Most important has been
Brazil has faced severe droughts in recent decades, significantly affecting agriculture, water supply, and hydropower generation, among other sectors. The Paraná River Basin, a major hub for hydropower, has been particularly affected, posing challenges for water management. To address this, we conducted a study to provide tailored climate information for the Brazilian hydroelectric sector. Given t
A computer-assisted language learning software for mobile devices (MAC) is presented, that was aimed to helping speakers acquire speech contrasts not native to their own language. The software is based on the high variability phonetic training (HVPT) technique. An overview of the software is given, followed by results from an efficacy study. Two groups using slightly different variations of the MA
Established in 2015, the Multi-Stakeholder Engagement (MuSE) Consortium is an international network of over 120 individuals interested in stakeholder engagement in research and guidelines. The MuSE group is developing guidance for stakeholder engagement in the development of health and healthcare guideline development. The development of this guidance has included multiple meetings with stakeholde
Normalizing flows (NFs) have been shown to be advantageous in modeling complex distributions and improving sampling efficiency for unbiased sampling. In this work, we propose a new class of continuous NFs, ascent continuous normalizing flows (ACNFs), that makes a base distribution converge faster to a target distribution. As solving such a flow is non-trivial and barely possible, we propose a prac
This paper forms part of a broader study on the design and optimisation of a high speed switched reluctance motor (SRM) for hybrid-electrical automotive traction applications. The main focus of this particular paper is to explain the design optimisation methodology followed. Furthermore, the main aim of the motor design is to push the power density of the SRM as high as possible. This leads to num
The research presented here explores the nuances of data collection and sharing via digital platforms in everyday CrossFit coaching practice. There is a growing body of work on data and digital platforms in CrossFit, though currently there is a lack of research on the role of coaches in these processes. Empirically grounding the digital fitness practices of CrossFit coaching is essential for our u
The ATLAS trigger system is a crucial component of the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. It is responsible for selecting events in line with the ATLAS physics programme. This paper presents an overview of the changes to the trigger and data acquisition system during the second long shutdown of the LHC, and shows the performance of the trigger system and its components in the proton-proton collisions du
