Musculoskeletal health is critical for human function, enabling mobility, dexterity and the ability to work and actively participate in all aspects of life. It is essential for maintaining economic, social and functional independence as well as human capital across the life course. Action is needed and the Global Alliance for Musculoskeletal Health (G-MUSC) is working with the entire musculoskelet
Most university biobanks begin like other university research projects, i.e. with an idea conceived by an individual researcher in pursuit of his/her own research interests, publications, funding and career. Some biobanks, however, come to have scientific value that goes beyond the projects that were initially responsible for the collection of the samples and data they contain. Such value may deri
The Learning with Errors (LWE) problem is one of the main mathematical foundations of post-quantum cryptography. One of the main groups of algorithms for solving LWE is the Blum-Kalai-Wasserman (BKW) algorithm. This paper presents new improvements for BKW-style algorithms for solving LWE instances. We target minimum concrete complexity and we introduce a new reduction step where we partially reduc
We give a short introduction to the calculation of the leading chiral logarithms, and present the results of the recent evaluation of the LLog series for the nucleon mass within the heavy baryon theory. The presented results are the first example of LLog calculation in the nucleon ChPT. We also discuss some regularities observed in the leading logarithmical series for nucleon mass.
We consider the reliability function of Markov channels with feedback and variable length channel codes. We extend Burnashev's [3] classic result to this case and present a single letter characterization for the reliability function.
Urban landscapes, structures and design features are associated with travel mode choice and have implications for sustainable living environments. The particular role of the built environment for children’s independent active mobility has received increasing attention in research and practice. However, the complexity of the transactions between person and environment needs to be understood with sp
We establish the Hasse principle for smooth projective quartic hypersurfaces of dimension greater than or equal to 28 defined over Q.
Cambodia is facing the familiar problem of achieving sustained rates of economic growth that could help it alleviate widespread poverty. Against the background of some encouraging developments, and quite a few that are not equally reassuring, we argue that any push for development needs to consider both agriculture and industry. This is so as both labour absorption, primarily in secondary sector a
We evaluate the distribution of waiting times between electrons emitted by a driven mesoscopic capacitor. Based on a wave packet approach we obtain analytic expressions for the electronic waiting time distribution and the joint distribution of subsequent waiting times. These semi-classical results are compared to a full quantum treatment based on Floquet scattering theory and good agreement is fou
The electrical charge limit of crystallizing sodium chloride droplets has been studied. Moderately charged sodium chloride solution droplets were dried to highly charged residual particles. The charge limit was found to be near the Rayleigh charge limit for saturated sodium chloride droplets of the same size as the residual particle. The charge loss was not found to affect the particle size to a d
We summarise the main features of VINCIA's antenna-based treatment of QCD initial- and finalstate showers, which includes iterated tree-level matrix-element corrections and automated evaluations of perturbative shower uncertainties. The latter are computed on the fly and are cast as a set of alternative weights for each generated event. The resulting algorithm has been made publicly available as a
Despite academic advances in PID controller design and development of automatic tuning procedures, there are still many PID controllers that are badly tuned, or not even tuned at all, in process industry. There are several reasons for this, but one major reason is that it is considered too time consuming to use current PID controller tuning methods. This paper presents a new tuning method that is
Reflections on ongoing work on the interactions of welfare, planning and landscape, based on a session at the 2021 ECLAS conference.
This paper deals with the exterior Calderón operator for not necessarily spherical domains. We present a new approach of finding the norm of the exterior Calderón operator for a wide class of surfaces. The basic tool in the treatment is the set of eigenfunctions and eigenvalues to the Laplace–Beltrami operator for the surface. The norm is obtained in view of an eigenvalue problem of a quadratic fo
