Purpose – The road freight industry is becoming more and more complex. An increasing number of actors participating in the transport process has been highlighted. Simultaneously, transport constellations become more fragmented. With transport as feature of the product-offer, sending companies face new challenges. While transport has as part of the product offer influence on the customer satisfacti
Wireless local area networks (WLAN) are rapidly becoming a core part of network access. Supporting user mobility, more specifically session continuation in changing network access points, is becoming an integral part of wireless network services. This is because of the popularity of emerging real-time streaming applications that can be commonly used when the user is mobile, such as voice-over-IP a
Various physical limitations in electromagnetic theory and antenna theory have received considerable attention recently. However, there are no previous limitations on the scattering of higher order electromagnetic vector spherical waves, despite the widespread use of spherical wave decompositions. In the present paper, bandwidth limitations on the scattering matrix are derived for a wide class of
Background: Low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) is recommended for thromboprophylaxis in adult intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Despite its widespread use, there is insufficient evidence on the optimal dose, and there appears to be practice variation. Determining the LMWH dosing strategy that most effectively balances the risks of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and bleeding may improve outcomes i
Popular Abstract in Swedish Den teoretiska beskrivningen av materians minsta beståndsdelar, den så kallade standardmodellen (SM), överenstämmer med oerhörd noggrannhet med de många och avancerade partikelfysik-experiment som utförts världen över. Trots denna överenstämmelse finns problematiska aspekter hos SM som gör att den inte kommer kunna beskriva fysikaliska fenomen vid högre energier, som änA search for new physics using events with a single photon and missing energy has been made at the DELPHI experiment together with a search for charginos. The results were based on data collected up to and including the final year of 2000. An integrated luminosity of 650 pb^-1 was used in the single photon analysis and 450 pb^-1 in the chargino search. Center-of-mass energies up to 209 GeV were ex
Two prospective, short-term and long-term consecutive randomized studies on non-surgical treated patients with an ACL injury were performed. None of the patients were athletes on a professional level. Outcome measures : isometric muscle strength and isokinetic musclefunction, one-leg hop test, single limb balance, Lysholm knee score and Tegner activity level. In study number one 26 patients with n
The damage caused by the dramatic worldwide increase in ‘natural’ disasters is staggering, with the poor in developing countries being most at risk. Disasters make their already precarious living conditions worse, creating a vicious circle of poverty from which they find it hard to escape. To achieve sustainable poverty reduction, more and more attention has thus been given to the need to reduce d
Two protected derivatives of beta-D-galactopyranosyl-5-hydroxy-L-lysine, in which HO-4 of galactose has been O-methylated or replaced by fluorine, have been prepared. The building blocks were incorporated at position 264 of the peptide fragment CII259-273 from type II collagen by solid-phase synthesis. The ability of these two glycopeptides, and two CII259-273 glycopeptides in which HO-4 of galact
The article discusses influences from the Book of Isaiah upon the concluding hymn of Poimandres (Corpus Hermeticum I) and uses religio-historical information gleaned from this comparison as a basis for defending a reconstruction of this text based on Papyrus Berolinensis 9794. Various epithets and descriptions of the divine occurring in the hymn are argued to be dependent upon the titulature of YH
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the outcome of treatment for deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) in a nationwide patient cohort, before and after the introduction of negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT). METHODS: This was a population-based cohort of all patients treated for DSWI in Iceland out of 2446 open heart operations performed between 2000 and 2010. Length of hospital stay, survival and reoperati

Drawing upon Transition and Technological Innovation Systems' theory, the author analyzed the process by which the Nicaraguan electricity sub-sector transitions towards renewable energy generation, the actors and networks of actors that play central parts in this process, the regulatory infrastructure that frames actors' actions and the factors and mechanisms that drive and block technolog
The building sector is the biggest energy user in the European Union (EU) and therefore, has an important role to play in meeting the energy and climate goals ofEU. In Sweden, more than 80% of the two million detached houses are more than 35 years of age. Energy efficiency renovation of those old houses can reduce primary energy use by 65% to 90%. However, the current low rate of energy renovation
In the current competitive scenario, SMEs need to adopt advanced technology in order to comprehend the dynamics of Industry 4.0 and the sustainable operations for operational excellence. The present study discusses the relationship between Industry 4.0 with sustainable operations and operational excellence. A research model is proposed and assessed through structural equation modelling (SEM). The
This article contributes guidance on how to approach the development of a course curriculum in general and presents a specific example from medical research education. The purpose of this study is to discuss a model for translating needs assessments of targeted learners into a course curriculum. The model employs established methods for data collection, such as different interview approaches and s
We present a recipe for building a portable DIY toolkit, entitled Kitchen-Based Light Tomography (KBLT) for performing tomography using visible light with low-cost and easily accessible components. We also present different use cases to mimic different challenges in tomography, such as imaging time evolving samples. All the software for motor controls, image acquisition, image reconstruction and a
