Energy used in buildings is responsible for more than 40% of energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of the EU and their share in cost-efficient GHG mitigation potentials is estimated to be even higher. In spite of its huge savings potential of up to 80%, achievements are very slow in the building sector and much stronger political action seems to be needed. One important step in thi
Det relativt lugna området bakom barriärö är en fördelaktig plats för hamn trots att navigationen genom själva inloppet kan vara utmanande. Olika åtgärder såsom muddring eller kuststrukturer kan vara nöd-vändiga för att säkerställa det önskade vattendjupet för en säker navigering. Island som är en önation är beroende av tillförlitliga navigeringsvägar som förbinder hamnar med havet. Detta för att The relatively calm area behind barrier island are favored locations for harbors even though the navigation through the inlet itself can be challenging. Different measures like dredging or coastal structures might be necessary to ensure the desired water depth to maintain a safe navigation. Iceland as an island country depends strongly on reliable navigational routes connecting harbors to the ocea
The need for modelling of materials behaviour under various mechanical conditions is driven by the evolution of computer capacity and the ability of scientists to address complex mechanical problems. Reliable models for materials behaviour, including accurate numerical values of parameters, are necessary for a continued beneficial development of the computational side of solid mechanics. High rate
In this article the authors reflect upon and critically examine signs of a contradiction in higher education which they discuss in terms of the tension between 'use value' and 'exchange value'. Use value here represents learning as something valuable ‘in itself’ whereas exchange value represents learning as an achievement of grades and credits to be ‘traded’ on a market. Their aim in this article
Elevated plasma cytokines is a common finding in Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), although not consistent. It is currently not known whether the inflammatory changes are confined to any specific subgroup of depressive patients. We here analyzed three inflammatory markers in suicidal and non-suicidal depressive patients, as well as healthy controls. Plasma interleukin (IL)-2, IL-6 and tumor necrosi
As a by-product of a meeting between my university’s vice-chancellor and the manager of the largest bank in the small southern town of Ystad in 2006, I, almost accidentally, soon after came to commence teaching and researching media production, production studies, media industries studies or film and media industry studies, as the subject finally came to be called at Lund. The teaching part involv
Mesoscopic simulations with two-dimensional (2D) models have been performed to elucidate the dynamics of deformable red blood cells (RBCs) in deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) devices. Several shapes of posts, including circular, diamond, square and triangular structures and RBCs with different rigidities are considered. In comparison to rigid particles, the deformable RBCs exhibit much mor
This chapter presents a flexible platform that supports prototyping up to 20 MHz bandwidth 128-antenna multiple input, multiple output (MIMO). It devotes theory, design, implementation, and prototyping of Massive MIMO for 5G communication systems. The chapter overviews the principles and theory of Massive MIMO. It describes the channel modeling system with a focus on specific phenomena of large sc
A resampling method for quantitative MRS is presented that retains absolute concentrations. Averaging the spectra from a subset improved the concentrationestimates via increased SNR. Using short-TE STEAM spectra from human thalamus, the influence of subset size was systematically studied and verifiedagainst conventional bootstrap re-sampling. Even small subsets provided considerably better signal-
The formation of smart Lab-on-a-Chip (LOC) devices featuring integrated sensing optics is currently hindered by convoluted and expensive manufacturing procedures. In this work, a series of 3D-printed LOC devices were designed and manufactured via stereolithography (SL) in a matter of hours. The spectroscopic performance of a variety of optical fibre combinations were tested, and the optimum path l

During recent decades we have witnessed growing scientific concern, public debate and media attention concerning the possible adverse effects on humans and wildlife that may result from exposure to a wide range of environmental contaminants. These contaminants are called endocrine disrupters, or endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) and are defined as chemicals that interfere with the function of
