The research network "Basic Concepts for Convection Parameterization in Weather Forecast and Climate Models" was organized with European funding (COST Action E50905) for the period of 2010-2014. Its extensive brainstorming suggests how the subgrid-scale parameterization problem in atmospheric modeling, especially for convection, can be examined and developed from the point of view of a robust theo
Identification and isolation of cardiomyocytes from the heart, embryonic stem cells, or induced pluripotent stem cells is a challenging task and will require specific isolation techniques. Less than 30% of the cells within the murine heart are cardiomyocytes and, what is more, there are multiple sub-populations of cardiomyocytes like atrial, ventricular and conduction system cardiomyocytes. In Pap
This Feature Article provides an overview of the progress made over the last few years in the design of diblock copolymer micelles based on crystallization-driven self-assembly (CDSA) towards the development of novel and fascinating morphologies with crystalline-cores. Here, we describe the different approaches employed in order to engineer a large variety of semicrystalline micellar architectures
We consider the implications of a model for long-duration gamma-ray bursts in which the progenitor is spun up in a close binary by tidal interactions with a massive black-hole companion. We investigate a sample of such binaries produced by a binary population synthesis, and show that the model predicts several common features in the accretion on to the newly formed black hole. In all cases, the ac
This paper presents a low voltage continuous-time delta-sigma modulator (DSM) intended for the receiver of an ultra-low-power radio. The DSM features a 2nd-order loop filter implemented with a single operational amplifier to reduce the power consumption. Furthermore, a 4-bit quantizer is used to achieve high resolution while keeping the sampling frequency low. The quantizer is realized using the s
Early perceptual grouping was studied using 256-channels event-related potentials in a choice response task. The task involved the detection of a triangle configuration of Gabor patches among patches of different spatial frequencies. The influence of two task-irrelevant factors was compared. One was the spatial proximity relation between the target patches and the other their relative orientation,
In this essay the subjects of city development and governance are studied in a context of democracy. The empirical cases for this study are two city development projects in the city of Helsingborg, Sweden. The two projects are studied with a focus on governance and democracy. The analysis shows that increased competition between cities have led to a situation where many cities use governance relat
The Shapeyard project was an attempt to commercialize a piece of university research by two academics at Lund University. Their algorithm that they developed together allowed for the customization of furniture using morphological patterns found in nature as a design concept. The idea was brought to a group of students completing their Masters of Science in Entrepreneurship degree in order to gain
Problem The procurement of a complete factory, including the design, manufacturing and installation, is a common way for automotive producers when acquiring new production equipment for new models. Due to the long lead times of a procurement process, the process has to commence well before the finalisation of the design of the car to be built. This makes the formulation of requirements very comple
Locally Stationary Processes (LSPs) in Silverman’s sense, defined by the modulation in time of a stationary covariance function, are valuable in stochastic modelling of time-varying signals. However, for practical applications, methods to conduct reliable parameter inference from measured data are required. In this paper, we address the lack of suitable methods for estimating the parameters of the
A sports-related concussion (SRC) is most commonly sustained in contact sports, and is defined as a mild traumatic brain injury. An exercise-induced elevation of core body temperature is associated with increased brain temperature that may accelerate secondary injury processes following SRC, and exacerbate the brain injury. In a recent pilot study, acute head-neck cooling of 29 concussed ice hocke
Over the last decades or so, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have become one of the most promising tools for modelling hydrological processes such as rainfall-runoff processes. In most studies, ANNs have been demonstrated to show superior result compared to the traditional modelling approaches. They are able to map underlying relationships between input and output data without detailed knowledge
Popular Abstract in Swedish Antagandet att människor är förmögna att kontrollera och avsiktligt glömma oönskade minnen har varit kontroversiellt allt sedan Freud (1915/2000) först antog den typen av psykologisk process. Men aktuell experimentell forskning ger ökat belägg för att avsiktligt undertryckande av oönskade minnen faktiskt kan leda till senare glömska (cf. Levy & Anderson, 2002). ResuForgetting can be highly functional when unwanted or irrelevant memory representations interfere with cognitive or motivational goals. Current theory assumes that forgetting can be brought about by the intentional or unintentional inhibition of interfering memory representations. In four studies, the present thesis investigated this claim by employing behavioral testing, and neuroimaging methods b
This is a paper about gymnastics and a primordial form of geological knowledge. It pursues an interpretation of gymnastics, broadly defined, as a philosophy that interrogates what the Earth is. The goal is to reconstruct the epistemic implications of gymnastic practice in order to understand the evolution of animal motility as a prototypical form of geological knowledge. Since gravity is a global
Background: PSMA PETs can track treatment response in patients with prostate cancer. Recent integration of the RECIP framework with PROMISE v2 allows quantitative assessment of PSMA PETs. While useful for assessing differentially responding lesions, manual measurement and tracking is cumbersome and PSA reliance can be misleading. We evaluated an automated AI-enabled platform, aPROMISE, for longitu
Biomimicry at the hardware level is expected to overcome at least some of the challenges, including high power consumption, large footprint, two-dimensionality, and limited functionality, which arise as the field of artificial intelligence matures. One of the main attributes that allow biological systems to thrive is the successful interpretation of and response to environmental signals. Taking in
In a recent article we presented a model for hadronic rescattering, and some results were shown for pp collisions at LHC energies. In order to extend the studies to pA and AA collisions, the Angantyr model for heavy-ion collisions is taken as the starting point. Both these models are implemented within the general-purpose Monte Carlo event generator Pythia, which makes the matching reasonably stra
