This article considers state estimation of rigid-body dynamics where the positions q are available to measurement but where the angular velocities ̇or accelerations are not available to measurement. Using a stability-oriented approach to model-based design of state estimation for Euler–Lagrange systems and rigid-body dynamics, state estimation based on position measurement is shown to guarantee se
Repair and replacement strategies using cell replacement or viral gene transfer for neurologic diseases are becoming increasingly efficacious with clinically meaningful benefits in several conditions. An increased understanding of disease processes opens up opportunities for genetic therapies and precision medicine methods aiming at disease modification or repair of lesioned neurologic structures.
A 2015 review of external examining in the UK assessed the effectiveness of the external examining system in safeguarding academic and quality standards in higher education. The development of the Professional Development Course for External Examiners was a key response to the recommendations from this review. This chapter contains an overview of the structure of the course, the key messages commu
Much research aimed at developing measures for normative criteria to guide the assessment of healthcare resource allocation decisions has focused on health maximization, equity concerns and more recently approaches based on health capabilities. However, a widely embraced idea is that health resources should be allocated to meet health needs. Little attention has been given to the principle of need
Alzheimer’s disease can be treated by targeting amyloid-β plaques and diagnosed in vivo by biomarkers, prompting the revision of criteria for the diagnosis and staging of this disease.
The built environment is still, to a large extent, not accessible and usable for all. The awareness of people's different conditions and abilities sometimes seems to be far from the agenda for planning and architecture. Universal Desing (UD) is pointed out as a strategy to achieve a built environment for all people regardless of age and abilities. UD has a radical potential to bring about change a
Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) technology has experienced phenomenal success in the application of wireless charging of smartphones. With the Qi Specification becoming the dominant standard, wireless charging's convenience goes beyond cable-free charging to facilitate interoperability between chargers and devices from different vendors. For wireless charging to operate correctly, the power tr
This paper presents the development of a system dynamic model to simulate and analyze desertification. The human-environment coupled model integrates socio-economic drivers with bio-physical drivers of biomass production, land degradation and desertification. It is based on the UN and GEF definitions of desertification. It illustrates the concept of desertification through differential equation an
We present exact algorithms with exponential running times for variants of n-element set cover problems, based on divide-and-conquer and on inclusion-exclusion characterisations. We show that the Exact Satisfiability problem of size 1 with m clauses can be solved in time 2(m)l(O(1)) and polynomial space. The same bounds hold for counting the number of solutions. As a special case, we can count the
This thesis, written at Scania CV AB in Södertälje, Sweden, during the spring of 2015, treats the subject of Solid State Fuses and the possibility to use these in heavy vehicles. A Solid State Fuse is a device containing only solid state components, implementing a function to protect wiring harness and connectors from damage caused by electrical faults. The device should contain circuit breakers a
Ichthyosaurs are extinct marine reptiles that display a notable external similarity to modern toothed whales. Here we show that this resemblance is more than skin deep. We apply a multidisciplinary experimental approach to characterize the cellular and molecular composition of integumental tissues in an exceptionally preserved specimen of the Early Jurassic ichthyosaur Stenopterygius. Our analyses

The efficiency of combustion engines is crucial for their future development, prompting researchers to explore various factors to enhance performance. Among these factors, exhaust gases hold significant potential. Typically, exhaust gases carry about 30-40% of the engine's energy, which often remains underutilized. Although technologies like turbochargers have made progress in recovering some
Digital integrated circuits are fundamental to modern electronic devices, with increasing design complexity requiring robust verification methods to ensure error free functionality. This thesis examines the critical role of formal verification in digital Integrated Circuits (IC) design, particularly during the architecture modeling phase. Using a state machine module that controls clock frequency
Computed tomography (CT) segmentation models are frequently used within radiotherapy treatment planning, but similar models are not available to the related imaging modality cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) due to the scarcity of labeled data from this domain. Such models could have multiple clinical applications whereby it is of interest to study whether the CT segmentation models can be adap
Metal halide perovskites are an important class of emerging semiconductors. Their charge carrier dynamics is poorly understood due to limited knowledge of defect physics and charge carrier recombination mechanisms. Nevertheless, classical ABC and Shockley-Read-Hall (SRH) models are ubiquitously applied to perovskites without considering their validity. Herein, an advanced technique mapping photolu
Sweden has set ambitious goals concerning future sustainable cities. Solar energy plays a vital role in this transformation, since it directly relates to our health and well-being, on-site renewable energy production, economic activity, and social interaction. Therefore, prioritizing solar access already in the urban design phase is important to create equal possibilities for everyone living and w
