What is the context?: Platelets contain three major types of granules (alpha granules, dense granules and lysosomal granules) that carry distinct cargo. Dense granules store small molecules such as calcium, serotonin and adenosine 5′-diphosphate (ADP) that are essential for platelet activation and aggregation. Impaired production or release of dense granules can affect blood clotting and cause inc
Universities offer a variety of services to students, staff, and affiliates, traditionally managed through physical campus cards. However, increasing mobility requirements and the need for secure, interoperable digital identity solutions call for a modernized approach to service access. This paper introduces eduTAP, an open-source concept and software framework that builds on top of digital wallet
Water structure is crucially important to protein function and catalysis and can be conserved throughout related proteins despite differences in sequence. The complex hydrogen-bonding networks formed by water molecules and protein residues have been studied extensively, and graph-theory-based methods have frequently been used to describe these networks. Although there exist a number of tools which
Abstract – Introduction: Peripheral intravenous catheterization is commonly required in sick neonates but remains challenging due to small vessels, leading to multiple attempts and complications. This review evaluated the benefits and harms of device-assisted techniques versus standard technique. Methods: We searched MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL, Cochrane Reviews, WHO ICTRP, and ClinicalTrials.gov (Oc
This thesis attempts to implement a library in pure Python for building real-time Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) systems. The library does this by employing nodes containing data transformation methods—filtering, classification, data acquisition, and more. These nodes are linked together to create pipelines of nodes in which data flows. Due to the asynchronous nature of the data flow the library w
The project aims to learn about Chinese young people's choices and attitudes towards cooking and solve their problems in cooking. The solution is presented in the form of a product --- a multifunctional electrothermal cooking appliance. The traditional Chinese saying "Food is god for the people" shows the importance of diet in Chinese life. But today, more and more Chinese young peo
This document is created within the research project Nordic Fire and Rescue Services in the Twenty First Century (FIRE21). In this project, the fire and rescue services are seen as both governed by, and dependent on, formal and informal networks. A fundamental assumption in the research project is that efficient emergency management is dependent on efficient problem-solving in these networks. As a
The installation of a second RF cavity in the UVX electron storage ring at the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS) at the end of 2003 brought about longitudinal instabilities driven by one of the HOMs of the new cavity. Even though the operational difficulties related to these unstable modes were successfully overcome by means of a combination of cavity tuning (using temperature and plun
In recent years increasing attention has been given to systematic comparison of theories ofconsciousness. Laudable practical projects have emerged in this regard, such as adversarialcollaboration and the development of databases lending themselves to comparisons of empiricalsupport for theories. In addition to the practical advances, theoretical advances have been made,such as a list of issues a
Distributed massive multiple-input multiple-output (D-MIMO) has been identified as a promising technology to meet the service requirements of 6 G wireless networks and beyond. The coordination between a massive number of distributed antennas introduces stiff challenges and requires a substantial amount of computing resources that must be put together with careful algorithm-architecture codesign. T
Organizations may be confronted with both expected and unexpected events that challenge their abilities to provide these services uninterrupted. Traditional strategies based on anticipation and planning are primarily useful for expected events, but for unexpected events, organizations must develop capacities to adapt to situations and conditions not foreseen. As systems and societies are becoming
In the transition to a circular economy there is a need to advance the understanding of how consumer acceptance of circular product-service systems (PSS) can be fostered, since the lack thereof inhibits their adoption and diffusion. This study therefore aims to enhance the understanding of circular PSS acceptance by making two main contributions. First, it proposes a framework that provides a stru
For the Inner Tracking System 3 (ITS3) upgrade, the ALICE experiment at CERN requires monolithic active pixel sensors of dimensions up to 97 mm×266 mm, occupying a large fraction of a 300 mm wafer. To manufacture such a wafer-scale device, larger than the single design reticle size, stitching is employed. The MOnolithic Stitched Sensor (MOSS) is a prototype silicon pixel sensor of 14 mm×259 mm siz
Water management is a critical factor for the performance and reliability of polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) operating as energy generation systems. Inadequate operating conditions may lead to non-uniform water distribution, resulting in membrane dehydration or flooding of porous media, both of which adversely affect cell operation. In this work, a two-dimensional reduced-order model is dev
In fixed-bed reactors, the use of large particles in thermally thick regimes is common, which underscores the need for a comprehensive understanding of intraparticle processes. However, integrating detailed particle models into fixed-bed simulations is computationally expensive. This study introduces a tabulation method for biomass conversion’s drying and pyrolysis stages, where significant mass e
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning I dagens samhälle används diverse katalysatorer i många sammanhang för att påskynda kemiska reaktioner. Allt från produktion av ammoniak till rening av avgaser hjälps av olika katalysatorer. De katalysatorer som vi känner idag har tagits fram genom att testa olika materialkombinationer och utvecklingen har börjat stagnera. Enzymerna i våra kroppar är naturliga kA new instrument for near ambient x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy investigations of surfaces has been installed at beamline I511 of the MAX-II electron storage ring at the MAX IV Laboratory. This high pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy instrument is capable of surface chemistry investigations in near ambient pressures using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), a technique that tradition
The interaction of a solid target with an ultra-high intensity laser pulse can result in the laser plasma acceleration of ions. The recent proposal of a new laser plasma ion acceleration scheme, named chirped standing wave acceleration, has created interest in a new class of ultra-thin solid target materials, either freestanding or as a part of novel compound targets. In this thesis, it is assesse
