Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the primary method for noninvasive investigations of the human brain in health, disease, and development but yields data that are difficult to interpret whenever the millimeter-scale voxels contain multiple microscopic tissue environments with different chemical and structural properties. We propose a novel MRI framework to quantify the microscopic heterogeneity

The advent of high-throughput single-cell transcriptomic analysis of microglia has revealed different phenotypes that are inherently associated with disease conditions. A common feature of some of these activated phenotypes is the upregulation of galectin-3. Representative examples of these phenotypes include disease-associated microglia (DAM) and white-associated microglia (WAM), whose role(s) in

Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) plants have gained growing interest and application due to their low energy demand, small footprint, and low operational costs. However, the fulfilment of strict discharge limits for nitrogen and phosphorus, vast seasonal temperature variations, and large peaks in influent flows may pose challenges to the implementation of AGS. Moreover, the knowledge about microbial

Recent research in motion event typology has moved beyond the binary Talmian division of "verb-framed" and "satellite-framed" languages and has established the existence of at least four distinct typological clusters, instantiated by, for example, Swedish (Germanic), French (Romance), Thai (Tai-Kadai) and Telugu (Dravidian). In this paper, we focus on characteristic features of Telugu, as a repres

The humanitarian sector has formulated a collective strategic intent to localize. This involves delegating responsibilities and transferring capacities and resources to national and local actors. However, progress is slower than expected. Strategy execution is hard, and translating a general strategic intent to the actual way humanitarian organizations operate is not obvious. To suggest remedies f

Color polymorphisms are widely studied to identify the mechanisms responsible for the origin and maintenance of phenotypic variability in nature. Two of the mechanisms of balancing selection currently thought to explain the long-term persistence of polymorphisms are the evolution of alternative phenotypic optima through correlational selection on suites of traits including color and heterosis. Bot

Neural induction by cell-cell signaling was discovered a century ago by the organizer transplantations of Spemann and Mangold in amphibians. Spemann later found that early dorsal blastopore lips induced heads and late organizers trunk-tail structures. Identifying region-specific organizer signals has been a driving force in the progress of animal biology. Head induction in the absence of trunk is

Sustainable supply chain design can be performed using optimisation strategies for minimising environmental impacts while maximising profit. It is not clear how such strategies influence the resilience of a supply chain – its ability to handle disturbances without compromising its function. This research used the ecosystem network analysis (ENA) to evaluate the resilience during the design of a su

The current family of 802.11 protocols are based on the Carrier Sense Multiple Access (CSMA) mechanism which is a simple and robust means of sharing a channel. However, two current trends in wireless networks point towards a situation where CSMA fails to perform better than pure random access solutions such as ALOHA. The first trend is the ever increasing raw data rate in each generation of 802.11

The persistent Energy Performance Gap (EPG) in buildings poses a major obstacle to achieving predicted energy savings and sustainability targets. This study provides a comprehensive review of EPG root causes and mitigation strategies across the building life cycle, encompassing the design, construction, and operation phases. Technical and soft mitigation measures were synthesized, including smart

This essay explores the refugee’s access to human rights in regard to the case of Hirsi Jamaa and others v. Italy. The status of refugee, official or not, entails certain rights and state obligation, but the correlation between refugee rights and human rights is problematic. The analysis of the case parties’ arguments for and against violation of relevant articles of the European Convention for th

Literature reviews from different countries show that the difference between the calculated and measured energy use of the building, often known as “energy performance gap”, can be as high as 100-200%. Knowing the size of the building energy performance gap, if it exists, along with its underlying causes will enable professionals to make more informed assumptions and produce better predictions. As

Disney har sedan 30-talet legat i täten för tekniska och artistiska landvinningar och har med sina filmer byggt en kanon som gjort bolaget synonymt med animerad film. Denna uppsats syfte är att undersöka de estetiska beståndsdelar Disneys filmer är uppbyggda av, där fokus ligger vid färgsättningen av de tecknade filmerna. Med hjälp av semiotisk stilanalys behandlas färganvändningarnas utseenden oc

The aim of this study was to establish whether or not a development of the complexity of the noun phrase, i.e. an increase in noun phrase elaboration could be observed in written L2 Swedish over time. To provide an insight to said development, three on L2 English previously tested and strongly correlating phrasal complexity measures, MLNP, MNPDep and WNPCx (Bulté 2013), were employed. A fourth mea

Impaired rennet coagulation properties in milk could lead to prolonged processing times and production losses. Heritability for milk coagulation has previously been estimated to be 0.28 to 0.45, indicating that genetic selection can be used to manipulate this trait. The CN proteins are expressed by the genes CSN1S1, CSN2, CSN1S2, and CSN3 and are located on bovine chromosome 6. To better understan

Building occupant behaviour is known to be an important factor that drives building energy use and the associated carbon emissions. A substantial body of work has investigated occupant behaviour and the underlying drivers. Yet it is generally known that some buildings allow only minimal behavioural intervention, such as on/off control of lights. Other buildings allow a much higher degree of interv
