In 2011 the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) released new data for the streamflow in the Columbia River. This extends the previous database record (1928-1999) to include the last nine years (1999-2008). Thomson Reuters Point Carbon are using this database to apply their proprietary hydrological HBV-type energy model in the Columbia River and therefore need a complete understanding of the
As passenger cars emissions standards are tightened manufacturers are forced to cut the cars fuel consumption. This can be done in various ways and one of these is to improve a cars aerodynamic attributes, and above all the car's drag coefficient. A part of the car's total drag is from the air passing through the car's engine compartment and cooling system. The air to slow down, rerout
Bhutan is the world’s most mountainous country which comes with some logistical difficulties. Due to slow transportation times and lackluster food preservation are the post-harvest losses high which especially affects the rural parts of Bhutan negatively. Solar Food: Reducing post-harvest losses through improved solar drying, is a project set out to design a low-cost solar powered food dryer to im
Global heating is a topic that is debated in every part of the world. The weather has become more extreme. While scientists debate over the reason for those extremes it is no doubt that emission of greenhouse gases are constantly increasing globally. China has in the past years substantially increased their investment in energy to cope with the demands of their booming economy. Much of the increas
In this study we tried to explore available usability criterions. We wanted to see if they can be used for mobile phone. In order to investigate the usability of mobile phones we looked closer at both literature in the HCI field and also conducted interviews with the usability expert, user tests and surveys with mobile phones end users. During our research we noticed that designers need to take co
Ny, energieffektiv metod för uppgradering av biogas Arbetet som beskrivs i denna artikel handlar om en ny, lovande metod för koldioxidavskiljning från rå biogas för att tillverka ren biogas som kan användas som bland annat fordonsbränsle. Den rena biogasen är ett miljövänligt alternativ som kan ersätta de nuvarande fossila bränslen som har en negativ påverkan på vår miljö. Den nya metoden testadeThe degree project described in this report also acts as a deliverable for a research project. The research project focuses on a new technique for the upgrading of biogas. This new technology uses a sterically hindered amine to absorb carbon dioxide from the biogas to raise its energy value. The amine used for this method is 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol or AMP. When absorb-ing carbon dioxide with t
Sent i oktober 2012 så orsakade orkanen Sandy stor skada på de Karibiska öarna men senare även i USA, New Jersey, då som ett extratropiskt system. Vädersystemet var annorlunda på många vis jämfört med en "normal" orkan med avseende på dess bana, avsaknaden av ett öga och dess enorma storlek. Dessa egenskaper berodde alla på den rådande cirkulationen i den övre troposfären. Det var växelvIn late October 2012 hurricane Sandy caused a lot of damage to the islands in the Caribbean Sea and later on (as an extratropical cyclone) to the United States; New Jersey. The system was different in many ways relative to “normal” hurricanes, e.g. its track, its lack of eye at times it was classified as a hurricane and its great size which all partly was due to the prevailing circulations in the
The Maha Oya (river) originates in the Kandy district of Sri Lanka and travels about 130 km passing four districts to reach the sea at Kochchikade in Sri Lanka. It holds the 3rd largest average annual runoff among the 103 of distinct river basins in Sri Lanka. Its contribution as a fresh water source is of great significance. During year 2004 the river provided five percent of the total production
Medical imaging plays a vital role in modern diagnostics, enabling accurate disease detection and treatment planning. In recent years, deep learning-especially using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) has revolutionized medical image segmentation. One prominent CNN architecture is U-net, developed specifically for biomedical image segmentation. Its structure with symmetric encoder-decoder layers
The invaders vs. the protectors: who wins the battle? Pseudomonas aeruginosa or in short PsA is a type of microorganism, also known as “bacteria” or “germ” or “bug”. It is very tiny and invisible to our naked eyes. This germ is found everywhere in places like soil, and water. PsA can get into the human body through wounds and other injuries and make people sick. To prevent humans from getting inf
Critical-sized bone defects remain a significant unmet clinical need, with > 500,000 reconstructive procedures performed annually in the United States and Europe and associated costs exceeding US$3 billion. Autologous bone grafting—the current gold standard—suffers from limited harvest volume and donor-site morbidity, whereas allografts show variable integration and carry immunological and infecti
The modern use of neoadjuvant and conversion systemic therapy in patients with colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM) has improved resection rates and changed the borders between “resectable” and “unresectable” disease. Also, the use of preoperative systemic therapy has resulted in an increased frequency of disappearing liver metastasis (DLM). The optimal management of DLM is still controversia
The Re-Os (rhenium-osmium) chronometer applied to molybdenite (MoS2) is now demonstrated to be remarkably robust, surviving intense deformation and high-grade thermal metamorphism. Successful dating of molybdenite is dependent on proper preparation of the mineral separate and analysis of a critical quantity of molybdenite, unique to each sample, such that recognized spatial decoupling of 187Re par
Anterior cord herniation is due to a ventral displacement of the spinal cord through a defect in the dura and/or arachnoid.1 Though the condition is rare, some case reports are available.1-3 The neurological symptoms can slowly deteriorate over several years.3 A Brown-Séquard-like syndrome is the most common presenting neurological finding.2,4 Asymptomatic cases may be discovered incidentally.4 Ho
With the rapid development of blood biomarkers (BBMs) related to amyloid-β (Aβ) pathology in Alzheimer's disease (AD), the question arises whether these can replace the accepted reference standard, positron emission tomography (PET), for assessing Aβ burden. BBMs can differentiate Aβ status reliably in cognitively impaired patients, but two-threshold strategies to further improve their performance
OBJECTIVE: To examine temporal changes in late diagnosis of HIV (LD) among migrant and non-migrant people with HIV in Sweden 2003-2023 and to assess demographic and socioeconomic risk factors for LD in these two populations.METHODS: People with HIV diagnosed with HIV-1 in Sweden 2003-2023 were included (n = 6278). LD was defined as a first CD4+ T-cell count <350 cells/μL or an AIDS-defining event
Background: Chronic pain in children can significantly impact daily functioning. While interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation is the recommended treatment, it is resource-intensive and limited in availability. Therefore, children with more complex symptoms, classified as High Impact Chronic Pain (HICP), need to be prioritized for interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation. However, HICP in children has

Microsoft Word - EngSwedSlut4.doc A Swedish perspective on PEDAGOGICAL COMPETENCE Pedagogical competence is a key concept both in the Higher Education Act and pedagogy for higher education. In spite of this there is today still no distinct and well-documented nationally shared view of what is meant by pedagogical proficiency. How the concept pedagogical competence is to be interpreted has often re
