Context. Studies of the internal kinematics of the LMC have provided a detailed view of its structure, largely thanks to the exquisite proper motion data supplied by the Gaia mission. However, line-of-sight (LoS) velocities, the third component of the stellar motion, are only available for a small subset of the current Gaia data, thus limiting studies of the kinematics perpendicular to the LMC dis

Evaluation of recommender systems is an actively discussed topic in the recommender system community. However, some aspects of evaluation have received little to no attention, one of them being whether evaluating recommender system algorithms with single-number metrics is sufficient. When presenting results as a single number, the only possible assumption is a stable performance over time regardle

Recurrent self-fertilization is thought to lead to reduced adaptive potential by decreasing the genetic diversity of populations, thus leading selfing lineages down an evolutionary “blind alley.” Although well supported theoretically, empirical support for reduced adaptability in selfing species is limited. One limitation of classical theoretical models is that they assume pure additivity of the f

Automated decision-making (ADM) has been introduced into the public sector in many countries, including for decisions made regarding the provision of economic support to people in need. This article analyses the value positions (the ‘desired intentions’) for using ADM to determine such decisions in four Swedish municipalities. The value positions related to efficiency of the application process, i

Product design requirements are becoming more and more complex, while the number of available materials is increasing. Polymeric materials are still dominant in many applications, replacing other manufacturing materials. Gears are one of the mechanical parts that are increasingly made of plastic. To effectively replace metal materials, the design process and product material must meet all applicat

Many phosphatases make use of metal ions to aid catalysis of phosphate ester hydrolysis. Here, we investigate the impact of metal ions on the potential energy surface (PES), and hence the preferred reaction mechanism, for a simple model for hydrolysis of phosphate ester monoanions. We show that, while both associative (A(N) + D(N)) and dissociative (D(N) + A(N)) mechanisms are represented on the p

We propose an adaptive change point detection method (A-CPD) for machine guided weak label annotation of audio recording segments. The goal is to maximize the amount of information gained about the temporal activations of the target sounds. For each unlabeled audio recording, we use a prediction model to derive a probability curve used to guide annotation. The prediction model is initially pre-tra

Background: Apnea and intermittent hypoxemia (IH) are common developmental disorders in infants born earlier than 37 weeks' gestation. Caffeine administration has been shown to lower the incidence of these disorders in preterm infants. Cessation of caffeine treatment is based on different post-menstrual ages (PMA) and resolution of symptoms. There is uncertainty about the best timing for caffeine

Safety analysis of high confidence systems requires guaranteed bounds on the probabilities of events of interest. Establishing the correctness of algorithms that aim to compute such bounds is challenging. We address this problem in three steps. First, we use monadic transition systems (MTS) in the category of sets as a framework for modeling discrete time systems. MTS can capture different types o

This paper aims at identifying the current main economic thought influencing the EU Cohesion Policy. Postulates and assumptions on how economic growth spreads spatially in key EU policy framework documents are discussed and compared to different economic theories. Strategic EU documents increasingly foster the urban dimension, and focus resources on cities at the expense of cohesive regional devel

Collective intelligence (CI) in demand-side management (DSM) can enhance the flexibility of urban energy systems. Extreme climates cause intensively high loads on the urban energy systems resulting in power outages. To avoid this, quick responses are needed from buildings to adjust their operation in favor of the grid. Most of the available approaches are computationally expensive. CI-DSM offers a

Cytoplasmic protein-tyrosine kinases (PTKs) are enzymes involved in transducing a vast number of signals in metazoans, The importance of the Tec family of kinases was immediately recognized when, in 1993, mutations in the gene encoding Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) were reported to cause the human disease X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA).((1,2)) Since then, additional kinases belonging to this f

This article discusses known or suspected effects of maternal use of antidepressants during pregnancy on pregnancy outcome. It is unlikely that any marked teratogenic effect occurs with the possible exception of an increased risk for cardiovascular defects after maternal use of clomipramine or paroxetine. An increased risk for preterm birth is seen. Transient neonatal symptoms are common after the

For most animals their foraging environment consists of a patch network. In random environments there are no spatial autocorrelation at all, while in fine-grained systems positive autocorrelations flip to negative ones and back again against distance. With increasing grain size the turnover rate of spatial autocorrelation slows down. Using a cellular automaton with foragers having limited informat

Carnivory in plants is restricted to nutrient-poor and open habitats presumably because of high benefits and/or low costs of carnivory in these conditions. Carnivory is costly because the plants need specific adaptations to capture prey. Drosera rotundifolia produces sticky substances on its leaf surface to catch prey. These substances are primarily carbon-based, and their production can be expect

The interaction between beta-cyclodextrin (CD) and gemini surfactant of the type alkyl-alpha,omega-bis(dodecyldimethyl-ammonium bromide) with different spacer lengths of 2, 8, and 10 carbons has been investigated by means of electric conductivity (EC) and proton self-diffusion NMR at 298 K. The formation of a 2: 1 (CD: gemini) complex in a two-step mechanism is observed with the first association

The number concentration of cloud droplets determines several climatically relevant cloud properties. A major cause for the high uncertainty in the indirect aerosol forcing is the availability of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), which in turn is highly sensitive to atmospheric new particle formation. Here we present the effect of new particle formation on anthropogenic aerosol forcing in present-d

Understanding the possible pH-buffering processes is of maximum importance for risk assessment and remediation feasibility studies of heavy-metal contaminated soils. This paper presents the results about the effect of the buffering capacity of a polluted soil, rich in carbonates, on the pH and on the leaching evolution of its main contaminant (lead) when a weak acid (acetic acid) or a strong one (
