Measurements of the Standard Model Higgs boson decaying into a bb¯ pair and produced in association with a W or Z boson decaying into leptons, using proton–proton collision data collected between 2015 and 2018 by the ATLAS detector, are presented. The measurements use collisions produced by the Large Hadron Collider at a centre-of-mass energy of s=13Te, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of
The effects of dryer fabric cooling were studied. Using a dryer fabric cooled to a temperature below the dew point of the air-vapour mixture resulted in condensation of water vapour in the fabric structure. This condensation process was studied by means of a small-scale dynamic pilot dryer. The novel model on mass and heat transport in dryer fabrics, described in part 1, was validated against expe
This paper presents the co-design of a class-D digitally-controlled oscillator (DCO) and a low-dropout voltage regulator (LDO) generating the supply voltage for the DCO. Despite the high intrinsic supply pushing of the class-D oscillator topology, the LDO noise has only a very marginal impact on the DCO phase noise. The class-D DCO and LDO have been integrated in a 65nm CMOS process without any th
The cost efficiency of the biorefining process can be improved by extracting high-molecular-mass hemicelluloses from lignocellulosic biomass prior to ethanol production. These hemicelluloses can be used in several high-value-added applications and are likely to be important raw materials in the future. In this study, steam pretreatment in an alkaline environment was used to pretreat the lignocellu
The thesis starts with a description of the background to the change of the rules on deduction of VAT on mixed use immovable property through the insertion of Article 168a in the RVD. The reason according to the Amendment is to promote equity and to prevent unjustified cash-flow advantages granted to taxable persons who use acquire immovable property, deduct full input VAT and then pay it back o
Track switches are vital parts in the railway construction. They meet an important feature when planing and stearing the traffic flow through them to increase capacity. To ensure functionality during winter they have since the 50- century systematically installed switch heating with different technical solutions but with the same objective, to keep the moving parts on the switch free from snow and
This thesis is divided into two parts (1&2) with different but related scopes, they are both partly a response to Volvo Truck Australia's (VTA) wish to improve their supply chain. In 1998 this wish resulted in a global benchmark, of VTA's total inbound transports, being submitted to 13 global transporting companies. Being one of the responding companies, Volvo Transport delegated the d
This paper presents an LO phase shifter with frequency tripling for 28-GHz 5G transceivers. The phase shifting and frequency tripling are achieved using an injection-locked oscillator and injection-locked frequency tripler, respectively. A phase detector based on third harmonic mixing is also implemented and is used to detect the applied phase shift, supporting automatic calibration of the phase s
Data standards for quality registries should be evidence-based and follow guideline recommendations. To optimally monitor quality of care, not only patient-level variables, but also centre-level variables need to be included. Here we describe the development of variables to audit the structure and processes in cardiac rehabilitation for patients after myocardial infarction, and the resulting data
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Long term endurance training is known to increase peak oxygen uptake () and induce morphological changes of the heart such as increased left ventricular mass (LVM). However, the relationship between and the total heart volume (THV), considering both the left and right ventricular dimensions in both males and females, is not completely described. Therefore, the aim of this stu
We generalize the recently formulated theory of high-order harmonic generation by low-frequency laser fields to the case of high-order sum and difference frequency mixing in a two-color field of noncommensurate frequencies in the optical-infrared regime. Our theoretical description includes both the single-atom response and propagation. We observe a different behavior of the sum and difference fre
[Context] The continuous inflow of bug reports is a considerable challenge in large development projects. Inspired by contemporary work on mining software repositories, we designed a prototype bug assignment solution based on machine learning in 2011-2016. The prototype evolved into an internal Ericsson product, TRR, in 2017-2018. TRR’s first bug assignment without human intervention happened in A
This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts covered in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book examines how digital technologies interact with consumer society in a broad range of processes that can be termed the digitalization of consumption. It addresses the larger implications of digitalization processes for society and markets, including the social sciences, companies, co
Background: Intra- and interfractional variations in anatomy can cause unplanned substantial alterations of the dose distribution of the target in proton therapy. Motion management methods might be used in order to minimize anatomical variations. In the proton therapy of lung cancer, a potential motion management technique is the use of the voluntary breath-hold approach. The aim of this study was
Efforts to reduce energy consumption in buildings have increased with the pending impact of climate change. Heat losses through airing behaviours remain a largely unknown factor due to the variety of reasons for opening a window, making generalization difficult. Currently, an estimation of 4 kWh/m2 heated area for airing heat loss is assumed in Sweden. Additionally, the resulting airflow from open
The purpose of this study is to examine and investigate what the norm-setting process looks like in regards to regulations that give employers the opportunity to request and demand drug tests from their employees. To fulfill the purpose of the study, a qualitative research method with semi-structured interviews were conducted. The sample consisted of employers and union worker representatives. Fur
In order to maximize the biomass yield in fed-batch cultivations of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a pulse feeding strategy originally developed by Mats Åkesson at the department of automatic con-trol (Åkesson, 1999), was implemented. The controller was intended to keep the specific glucose uptake rate, qs, below the critical specific glucose uptake rate qs crit , to avoid over-flow metabolism. Simulat
This report starts by delivering a statement of its purpose, namely, to explore and learn from the entire building process, through the construction of a small sauna on a raft. It begins with a brief inventory of bathing culture and its history throughout the world before arriving at the Finnish sauna and the bathing culture of the Swedish west coast. The project and its concept is then introduced
