An interesting class of non-Gaussian stationary processes is obtained when in the harmonics of a signal with random amplitudes and phases, one allows also for frequencies to vary randomly. In the resulting models, the statistical distribution of frequencies determines the process spectrum while the distribution of amplitudes governs the process distributional properties. Since decoupling the distr

The Cenozoic Himalaya-Tibet orogen is generally regarded as the archetypal continental collision zone and is often used as an analogue for interpreting ancient orogenic events. However, given the wide diversity observed in present-day collisional mountain belts, the extent to which such inferences can be made remains debated. In this Review, we compare the metamorphic and magmatic record of the Hi

The spatial lane-changing (LC) behavior should be analyzed for the vehicles in transportation systems in order to identify the patterns of vehicles’ movements using the similarities detected in their lane-changing trajectories. The trajectory of an LC vehicle is a function of its context. The present paper utilized spatial footprints and external/internal contexts to contextualize a measure applic

Comparing lexical transfer in second- and third language early vocabulary acquisition The present study compared 30 functional English monolinguals and 30 highly proficient (CEFR C1+) Swedish–English bilinguals. They acquired vocabulary in a pseudo-language derived from typologically unrelated Finnish. None of the participants had productive proficiency in Finnish although for societal reasons the

Background. There is increasing research to suggest that fears of, and resistances to, affiliative and positive emotions are linked to self-criticism and a range of psychopathologies. It is unclear how these fears and resistances are linked to each other and how these in turn are linked to psychological processes, such as abilities to be mindful and recognize and describe emotions. Objectives. Thi

OBJECTIVE: Radical prostatectomy reduces mortality among patients with localized prostate cancer, however up to 35% of patients will experience biochemical recurrence, often treated with salvage radiotherapy. The objective of the study was to investigate long-term effects of salvage radiotherapy. METHODS: A prospective, controlled, non-randomized trial at 14 Swedish center's including 4,003 patien

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to report a case study that qualitatively describes and analyses teachers’ discussions when planning and evaluating lessons under supervision, and what is described is the focus on their reasoning, the activities decided upon and how they decided to assess the pupils’ learning outcomes when transforming formal curriculum objectives for English as a foreign la

Objectives: To evaluate the total number of false-positive recalls, including radiographic appearances and false-positive biopsies, in the Malmö Breast Tomosynthesis Screening Trial (MBTST). Methods: The prospective, population-based MBTST, with 14,848 participating women, was designed to compare one-view digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) to two-view digital mammography (DM) in breast cancer scre

The implementation of the Biofuels Directive (2003/30/EC) in the 25 member states is assessed against the background of implementation theory in this paper. The aim is to identify and analyze implementation problems for the purpose of suggesting a way forward for biofuels policy in the European Union. Three main patterns of policy implementation are observed: effective implementation, formal compl

The most common controller in the process industry today is the PID controller due to its simple structure. A regular factory may have thousands of different PID controllers in use where each of them has to be tuned to work satisfactory. Doing this manually can become both a difficult and time consuming task where some knowledge for each process is required. Therefore, it is highly beneficial to h

Vid utformandet av en konstitution ställs alltid frågan om vilket förhållande som bör råda mellan politik och juridik. Det är upp till varje rättssystem att reglera vilket inflytande domstolen ska ha på utformningen av lagstiftningen. När det kommer till lagstiftning kan förhållandet mellan judiciell aktivism från domstolens sida och demokrati beskrivas som en dikotomi där två vitt skilda metoder When drafting a Constitution, the relationship between politics and law must always be determined. It is up to each legal system to regulate what influence the court should have on the formulation of legislation. When it comes to legislation, the relationship between judicial activism and democracy, can be described as a dichotomy in which two widely different methods stand for different ideals. T

Rotavirus and the Neonate: Memories of infections gone by Despite advances made through vaccination, the disease burden of rotavirus in the developing world remains high, largely affecting children below the age of 5 and remaining the leading cause of death from viral gastroenteritis (Fig. 1). Socio-economic factors, as well as poor response to vaccination in the developing world are believed to
