Compact automated warehouse solutions are a challenge for conventional fire protection systems, such as sprinklers. As an option to sprinkler systems some warehouses employ an Oxygen Reduction System (ORS). When designing an ORS, the most important parameter is the limiting oxygen concentration (LOC). The level of protection attained is directly proportional to the oxygen level applied, which is a
In this work, we consider the problem of localizing multiple signal sources based on time-difference of arrival (TDOA) measurements. In the blind setting, in which the source signals are not known, the localization task is challenging due to the data association problem. That is, it is not known which of the TDOA measurements correspond to the same source. Herein, we propose to perform joint local
Externally bonded reinforcement (EBR) was used to increase load bearing capacity of light weight aggregate concrete (LWA) masonry walls subjected to eccentric axial compression. Ladder type masonry reinforcement, high strength steel wire strips and glass fiber mesh were used for strengthening of eleven, 2.4 m high, 0.5 m long and 0.1 m thick walls. The reinforcement was applied on the dry wall sur
The ability to generate and control movement is essential for human interactions and overall well-being. Neuromuscular impairment caused by neurological injuries and diseases, such as stroke or limb amputation, severely limits the ability of affected individuals to interact with the surrounding environment, necessitating advanced strategies for rehabilitation and restoration of motor function. Vol
Although political governance guides education and research, there are options for researchers, educators and curators to act in the spirit of academic freedom. The deontological ethical guidelines stabilize the archaeological establishment no matter what kind of work. The utilitarian dimensions within archaeological research and higher education open up for critical thinking.Twisting and turning,
The practical application of aqueous rechargeable batteries faces several challenges due to the limited stability window of electrolytes and parasitic side reactions, such as corrosion, passivation, gas evolution, and co-intercalations. The solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formed at the electrode/electrolyte interface plays a critical role in determining interfacial properties and battery perfor
A decentralized strategy for object transportation is presented, assuming that the object is grasped by a team of N cooperative manipulators. The proposed strategy consists of two steps. First, each robot estimates the wrenches applied to the object by all the others robots, even without all-to-all communication. Second, an admittance control scheme is used to limit internal wrenches, preventing e
This special issue introduction explores dialogic organizing centred on affirming public engagement for hope and solidarity. We propose ways of retheorizing and revitalizing dialogic perspectives and practices. In so doing we take our cue a Bakhtinian understanding of dialogue; however, we suggest that it is necessary to move beyond this foundational understanding. Instead, it needs to be read in
The HIBEAM-NNBAR program is a proposed two-stage experiment at the European Spallation Source focusing on searches for baryon number violation processes as well as ultralight dark matter. This paper presents recent advancements in computing and simulation, including machine learning for event selection, fast parametric simulations for detector studies, and detailed modeling of the time projection
We report 23 lichenicolous fungi new to Sweden, among these, one is new to Europe, 21 are new to Fennoscandia, and two are newly reported for Norway. This article focuses only on mitosporic fungi. The newly reported species are Acremonium pertusariae, Cladophialophora dimorphospora, Cladosporium licheniphilum, Corynespora laevistipitata, Didymocyrtis cladoniicola, D. grumantiana, Ellisembia lichen
The rate of change in adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE), in which a population of microorganisms is continuously cultivated under a specific selective pressure, is controlled by the cellular mutagenesis rate and the randomness of where in the genetic material mutations are introduced. The constant selection pressure makes it a crucial, yet slow, method in developing microorganisms with novel phe
Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) has predominantly been implemented in major urban areas worldwide, but interest is growing in its application within small and medium-sized cities. In these contexts, enhanced bus-based public transport is often essential for promoting more sustainable transport systems. However, limited research has explored how BRT can be adapted to smaller cities, particularly in Europe,
Studying photoluminescence (PL) is essential for understanding and engineering light-emitting nanomaterials. Heterogeneous samples, such as thin films and microstructures, require characterization of the spatial distribution of PL intensity, spectra, lifetimes, and photon correlations at the microscale under variable temperatures. Here we describe a cryo-optical setup for micro-PL imaging, sp
Pretrained language models are integral part of AI applications, but their high computational cost for training limits accessibility. Initiatives such as Bloom and StarCoder aim to democratize access to pretrained models for collaborative community development. Despite these efforts, such models encounter challenges such as limited multilingual capabilities, risks of catastrophic forgetting during
De senaste teknologiska framstegen har lett till skapandet av högspecialiserade system inom olika industrier, vilket möjliggör uppgifter som tidigare varit otänkbara. I takt med att den globala efterfrågan på hållbara och effektiva energilösningar ökar, har behovet av innovation inom teknik aldrig varit större. Dessa framsteg representerar transformativa förändringar som omformar hela sektorer. FrRecent technological advancements have led to the creation of highly specialized systems across various industries, enabling tasks that were once beyond imagination. As the global demand for sustainable and efficient energy solutions grows, the urgency for innovation in technology has never been greater. These advancements are not simply incremental but represent transformative changes that are re
Sound event localization and detection (SELD) systems using audio recordings from a microphone array rely on spatial cues for determining the location of sound events. As a consequence, the localization performance of such systems is to a large extent determined by the quality of the audio features that are used as inputs to the system. We propose a new feature, based on neural generalized cross-c
The work exists in three different chamber music versions: soprano/piano (Opus 102a), soprano/cello/piano (Opus 102b), or soprano/string quartet (Opus 102c). Lyrics by Edith Södergran.
