A program to simulate the production of heavy quarks through the boson-gluon fusion process in e±p collisions is presented. The full electroweak structure of the electron-gluon interaction is taken into account as well as the masses of the produced heavy quarks. Higher order QCD radiation is treated using initial and final state parton showers, and hadronization is performed using the Lund string
The Monte Carlo generator MAJOR 1.5 simulates the production and decay of heavy Majorana neutrinos via lepton mixing or exchange of 'light' right-handed W-bosons in deep inelastic scattering, i.e. e±p → NX → e±W∓X or veZX. Physics and programming aspects are described in this manual.
A method for the fractionation of aerosol particles with respect to size and ability to grow with an increased relative humidity has been developed. The system consists of cascade impactors, diffusion driers, a humidifier and a temperature stabiliser. Diffusion driers were designed and the vapour penetration was modelled below 20%. A humidifier which can be operated with an output relative humidit
This paper is the first part of a program to deal with the relative importance of the different effects in a colour dipole field when the field energy is transformed into hadrons according to a statistical scheme with the sole constraints coming from energy and momentum conservation and the requirements of scaling. In this paper we treat the meson distributions from quark fragmentation with partic
During the last decades, methods for intuitive task level robot programming have become a fundamental point of interest for industrial applications. A robot programming framework is needed to facilitate task-level programming of mobile manipulators, e.g. by providing the robot with a set of movement primitives and skills. Robot skills have already been used and tested successfully within the FP7 p
The ambition to integrate disaster risk information from multiple stakeholders exists at different scales in any country and serve to control the risk of losses within companies, organizations and countries as a whole. Against the backdrop of extensive deliberations with risk management professionals in Sweden, this paper is based on an interdisciplinary scoping study of literature aimed to enhanc
Inflammasomes are cytosolic multiprotein complexes that sense microbial infection and trigger cytokine production and cell death. However, the molecular components of inflammasomes and what they sense remain poorly defined. Here we demonstrate that 35 amino acids of the carboxyl terminus of flagellin triggered inflammasome activation in the absence of bacterial contaminants or secretion systems. T
OBJECTIVE: Decision-making concerning the extent of the repair of acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) includes functional and anatomical assessment of the aortic valve. We hypothesized that bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) does not impact outcome after surgery for ATAAD. We therefore evaluated the outcome after ATAAD surgery in relation to the presence of BAV, acute aortic regurgitation (AR), and su
Ever since the end of the 1970s triple-pane windows have been ”standard” in new construction of dwellings and non-residential premises in Sweden. The background was the first oil crisis in 1973, which led to a dramatic sharpening of the thermal requirements regarding the thermal envelope of Swedish buildings. These were introduced in the new building code SBN 75 which was brought into practice in
Controlling an induction machine has been a difficult task since its invention, especially at low speed operation and during highly dynamic regimes, where the required torque/speed changes constantly. This paper aims to present the validation and implementation of a deadbeat direct torque and flux control scheme (DB-DTFC) for induction machines on a multilevel platform consisting on an FPGA, a rea
We investigate a model for buffer management of multi-class traffic into a finite shared buffer. A hierarchy of increasingly stronger linear programming relaxations for this model is proposed. The number of hierarchies equals the number of job classes. Each relaxation in the hierarchy is constructed by projecting the original achievable performance region into a polytope with fewer variables and f
When making nanoelectrodes for applications in liquid cells it is plausible that the less noble metal layer may be negatively affected, i.e. it will be etched away leading to very unstable conditions during operation. Here we describe a dry method to produce such a molecular layer consisting of mercaptopropyltriethoxysilane (MPTS) making it possible to controllable and reproducibly form a covalent
Abstract in UndeterminedIn today's technology generations, e.g. 90 and 65 nm, the static power consumption becomes a major contributor to the total power consumption. This paper focuses on the arithmetic level and shows a methodology for a substantial reduction of the static power consumption. Simulations are done in a typical 130 nm technology. Based on the simulation results, the static power in
Sweden is part of a small European minority in the perceived societal gain of PPP. After a pilot PPP project in late 1990’s no additional project has been started in Sweden. Although there is interest from both public infrastructure clients and construction companies the national government has very clearly stated that infrastructure projects should be procured in a traditional way where all fundi
This paper compares the language Grafcet with the language Grafchart. Both are graphical languages aimed for sequential control applications. Grafcet is aimed for specification of controller structures, i.e., for local level control applications. Grafchart is based on Grafcet, Petri nets and ideas from objectoriented programming and it can be used for any sequential control application, both appli
This paper describes a new hardware architecture for binary image erosion and dilation. The design is to be used in a self contained real-time surveillance system. Thus, low complexity and low power consumption are main constraints. To achieve this goal the aim has been to reduce memory requirements and the number of memory accesses per pixel. By storing only the number of consecutive ones that ap
