hange detection is an important application in remote sensing earth observation which leads to identification of significant environmental events, forest and agricultural landmonitoring. In this paper, we introduce a standalone softwarefor two well-known change detection methods, omnibus test and iteratively re-weighted multivariate alteration detection (IR-MAD). Omnibus test deals with synthetic
Critical raw materials (CRM) are extensively used in tools for metal cutting, such as in cemented carbide tools (cobalt and tungsten), because they provide desired characteristics of high fracture toughness and wear resistance. Both academia and industry are examining CRM-free material alternatives, such as tools based on polycrystalline diamond (PCD) or ceramic materials. These materials are gene
Depletion of onshore and shallow water reserves, in combination with new subsea technology, has made the petroleum industry advance into deeper water. However, new technology also brings new risks. Since most widely accepted standards and regulations are not directly aimed for subsea systems, new methods have to be developed. By developing a LOPA-model, which can be used specifically for subsea co
A search for a heavy CP-odd Higgs boson, A, decaying into a Z boson and a heavy CP-even Higgs boson, H, is presented. It uses the full LHC Run 2 dataset of pp collisions at s = 13 TeV collected with the ATLAS detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1. The search for A → ZH is performed in the ℓ+ℓ−tt¯ and νν¯bb¯ final states and surpasses the reach of previous searches in diff
Background: The growing availability of electronic health records (EHRs) presents an opportunity to enhance patient care by uncovering hidden health risks and improving informed decisions through advanced deep learning methods. However, modeling EHR sequential data, that is, patient trajectories, is challenging due to the evolving relationships between diagnoses and treatments over time. Significa
The integration and synthesis of the data in different areas of science is drastically slowed and hindered by a lack of standards and networking programmes. Long-term studies of individually marked animals are not an exception. These studies are especially important as instrumental for understanding evolutionary and ecological processes in the wild. Furthermore, their number and global distributio

Background. Contact allergy prevalence rates change over time as a result of variations in allergen exposure. Data from patch test clinics are often used as markers for allergy trends. Objectives. The aim of the present retrospective study was to describe trends in rates of sensitization to allergens in the Swedish baseline series. Patients/materials/methods. Prevalence rates are described by comp
Reliable and cost-effective operation of structural systems over their service life depends on the implementation of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) and maintenance activities, which influence operational costs, the expected costs of failure and downtime. Decision Value Analysis (DVA) provides a framework to quantify the value of such activities by evaluating their effect on total expected life
Several lines of evidence indicate a causal role of the cytokine interleukin (IL)-6 in the development of type 2 diabetes in humans. Two common polymorphisms in the promoter of the IL-6 encoding gene IL6, -174G > C (rs1800795) and -573G > C (rs1800796), have been investigated for association with type 2 diabetes in numerous studies but with results that have been largely equivocal. To clarify the
Background: Hallux rigidus (HR) affects the first metatarsophalangeal joint and is the most common osteoarthritic condition in the foot. The most used surgical treatment for severe cases of HR is an arthrodesis. The aim of this study is to describe patient characteristics, surgical treatment and the patient-reported outcomes for patients treated with arthrodesis for HR using data from Swefoot, the
BACKGROUND: Painters are among the occupational groups that most commonly experience occupational contact dermatitis, but few investigations exist concerning this occupation.OBJECTIVES: To characterize painters with contact dermatitis and identify the most common allergens associated with the occupation. Materials and methods. All patch test results of 219 painters and 1095 matched controls regist
In a low temperature district heating (LTDH) system the importance of well performing network and customer installations are essential due to reduced operation margins. The use of low-value waste heat in the production sets limitations on the supply temperature. New piping materials sets limitations on the supply temperature and the pressure level. All in all, this means an increased focus on ensu
Objective To compare several methods of missing data imputation for function (Health Assessment Questionnaire) and for disease activity (Disease Activity Score-28 and Clinical Disease Activity Index) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. Methods One thousand RA patients from observational cohort studies with complete data for function and disease activity at baseline, 6, 12 and 24 months were sel
We present a data-driven interpolation method, based on extended structure tensors. The method uses directional information, extracted from the crossline derivative of the pressure field, to interpolate both pressure field and its normal (depth) derivative. Here we focus on the interpolation of the normal derivative.
The urge for more sustainable and environmental-friendly transportation has never been as high as it is today. The demand will probably continue to increase as the knowledge about climate change continues to widen and as the expectations, of mitigation and adaptation measures, intensifies. One sector that is in great need of taking more mitigation and adaptation measures is the transport sector. T
