One of the most widely used strategies for visual object detection is based on exhaustive spatial hypothesis search. While methods like sliding windows have been successful and effective for many years, they are still brute-force, independent of the image content and the visual category being searched. In this paper we present principled sequential models that accumulate evidence collected at a sm
The so-called '3He-crisis' has motivated the neutron detector community to undertake an intense R&D programme in order to develop technologies alternative to standard 3He tubes and suitable for neutron detection systems in future spallation sources such as the European spallation source (ESS). Boron-based GEM (gas electron multiplier) detectors are a promising '3He-free' technology for thermal
To search for an S = -1 di-baryonic state which decays toΛp, the 3He(K-,Λp)nmissing reaction was studied at 1.0 GeV/c. Unobserved neutrons were kinematically identified from the missing mass MX of the 3He (K-,Λp) X reaction in order to have a large acceptance for the Λpn final state. The observed Λpn events, distributed widely over the kinematically allowed region of the Dalitz plot, establish tha
Brämhults Juice AB is a Swedish company producing fresh juice for the Scandinavian market. Fresh juice is rich in taste but has limited durability and must be treated with special care throughout the whole supply chain. Not only will the quality of the product be affected if mistreated, but there are also contamination risks meaning that people actually could get sick, although the risk is very sm
Popular Abstract in Swedish Informationsteknologin utvecklas i allt snabbare takt. Däremot tycks utvecklingen ske långsammare när det gäller de modeller, metaforer och metoder som används för att beskriva och förstå hur information sprids och hanteras i organisationer, i kommuner och i samhället i stort. Använder vi egentligen IT på ett effektivt sätt i det dagliga arbetet? I den här avhandlingen New information technology is developing faster than the models, metaphors and methods in use for conceptualizing the sharing and managing of information in organizations, in communities and in society in general. The way we utilize information technology today does not seem to succeed in supporting the everyday work practices through which organizations accomplish their work. In this Ph.D. disser
Baryon-to-meson Transition Distribution Amplitudes (TDAs) encoding valuable new information on hadron structure appear as building blocks in the collinear factorized description for several types of hard exclusive reactions. In this paper, we address the possibility of accessing nucleon-to-pion (pi N) TDAs from (p) over barp -> e(+)e(-)pi(0) reaction with the future PANDA detector at the FAIR faci
Based on spectra from F and G dwarf stars, we present elementalabundance trends in the Galactic thin and thick disks in the metallicityregime -0.8< [Fe/H < +0.4. Our findings can besummarized as follows. 1) Both the thin and the thick disks show smoothand distinct abundance trends that, at sub-solar metallicities, areclearly separated. 2) For the alpha -elements the thick disk showssignatures of c
Abstract In the given report, scientific results gathered at the Alfred- Wegener- Institut für Polar- und Meeresforschung (AWI) within an ScD contract are summarized. The AWI is the German large scale research facility for polar- and marine research. In January 1992 +he new research de- partment at Potsdam has been established with the section Physics und Chemistry of the Atmosphere. 1t coordinate
Popular Abstract in Swedish Produkternas miljöpåverkan har varit en av de stora nya frågorna sedan 10-15 år tillbaka. Att det uppstår betydande miljöproblem under en varas hela livscykel förstod man snart, men frågan var vad man kunde göra åt det. Jag kom att arbeta med återvinningsfrågor under senare hälften av 1980-talet. Det var också vid den tiden som förebyggande miljöskyddsstrategier börjadeThe focus of the environmental policy-making has shifted noticeably during the last decade. From having played a fairly insignificant role in the 1980s and earlier, product-related environmental problems have attracted an ever-increasing interest from policy-makers, especially in industrialised countries in North-Western Europe. Considerable attention has been devoted to the concept of extended pr
EXAFS and vibrational spectra of acetone solutions of zinc and lead(II) ethylxanthate have been recorded in order to correlate structural data with absorption bands in the mid-infrared region. Two ethylxanthate ions are monodentately coordinated to both zinc and lead(II) in acetone solution. Two acetone molecules are weakly coordinated to zinc to complete a tetrahedral configuration round zinc, wh
We report on spectrally resolved photocurrent measurements on single self-assembled nanowire heterostructures. The wires, typically 3 mu m long with an average diameter of 85 nm, consist of InAs with a 1 mu m central part of InAsP. Two different sets of wires were prepared with phosphorus contents of 15 +/- 3% and 35 +/- 3%, respectively, as determined by energy-dispersive spectroscopy measurement
There are two major candidates for Core Ontologies for the construction and facilities management sector, the ISO 12006-2 Framework for classification of information, and the Industry Foundation Classes, IFC. ISO 12006-2 has been developed to harmonize different national and regional classification systems. It is applied world wide in the development of classification systems for everyday use in t
The aim of this study was to explore older patients' experiences of participation in the prescription process of mobility devices. The study was conducted in two Swedish municipalities and was a qualitative study, based on the focus group interview methodology of Merton et al (1990). In order to recruit a sample fulfilling both homogeneity and heterogeneity criteria, occupational therapists and p
About one-third of all women treated for breast cancer develop arm lymphedema. In addition to the worry of the cancer itself, the swollen and heavy arm is both a physical and a psychosocial handicap for the patients. Previous surgical and conservative treatments have not always given satisfactory and permanent results, conceivably because lymphedema causes hypertrophy of the subcutaneous adipose t
This paper combines epidemiological data on musculoskeletal morbidity in 40 female and 15 male occupational groups (questionnaire data 3720 females, 1241 males, physical examination data 1762 females, 915 males) in order to calculate risk for neck and upper limb disorders in repetitive/constrained vs. varied/mobile work and further to compare prevalence among office, industrial and non-office/non-
Mechanical modeling and dynamic mechanical analysis were associated to investigate the viscoelastic properties of an alkyd acrylic hybrid system in connection with its morphology, which was characterized by transmission electron microscopy. Theoretical predictions based on the interlayer model used in direct mode were successfully combined with the experimental viscoelastic data to lead to relevan
The current national Arctic strategies of Sweden, Norway, and Finland consider tourism as a key industry and point out its significance for sustainable development in the region. Concurrently, China’s Arctic Policy talks about China being the source of tourists to the Arctic. Additionally, the tourism industry’s own strategies recognise that the Asian market shows strong growth in the number of tr
The bamboo species Guadua angustifolia is a natural functionally graded material with a high potential to help solving the housing deficit in Latin American countries. Bamboo plantations also play an important role to help reducing the devastation of tropical forests. Many studies have demonstrated the excellent mechanical properties of bamboo along the length of the culm. However, other propertie
Seawater intrusion (SWI) is one of the most important phenomena which occurs in shorelines and islands and affects groundwater storage in the region. This study aims to investigate how far seawater has intruded in a coastal area and what is its extent variation. The results can lead to different management plans. To achieve these goals, a geoelectrical method is applied in the coastal aquifer of C
