This article focuses on media engagement within the reality television industry. Itdraws on qualitative research of production practices and audience participationin live reality events to explore the multiple meanings of engagement as a series ofrelationships between creative and executive producers, broadcasters, performers,and audiences. A key question concerns how do producers and audiencescoc
To transfer cell- and bead-assays into droplet-based platforms typically requires the use of complex microfluidic circuits, which calls for methods to switch the direction of the encapsulated particles. We present a microfluidic chip where the combination of acoustic manipulation at two different harmonics and a trident-shaped dropletsplitter enables direction-switching of microbeads and yeast cel
BACKGROUND: The explosion in biological information creates the need for databases that are easy to develop, easy to maintain and can be easily manipulated by annotators who are most likely to be biologists. However, deployment of scalable and extensible databases is not an easy task and generally requires substantial expertise in database development.RESULTS: BioBuilder is a Zope-based software t
In this paper, a compact pattern reconfigurable dual-antenna array is designed at 2.65 GHz for MIMO terminal applications, such as laptops. Each antenna is composed of two layers, i.e., the monopole layer and the PIFA layer. By switching the PIN diodes on each layer, its radiation patterns can be varied between conical and boresight patterns. Two such identical antennas are placed side by side on
We present a Moiré method that can be used to investigate positional instabilities in a scanning hard x-ray microscope with nanometer precision. The development of diffractionlimited storage rings offering highly-brilliant synchrotron radiation and improvements of nanofocusing x-ray optics paves the way towards 3D nanotomography with 10 nm resolution or below. However, this trend demands improved
Optical cooling of semiconductors has recently been demonstrated both for optically pumped CdS nanobelts and for electrically injected GaInAsSb LEDs at very low powers. To enable cooling at larger power and to understand and overcome the main obstacles in optical cooling of conventional semiconductor structures, we study thermophotonic (TPX) heat transport in cavity coupled light emitters. Our str
Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are used to communicate product's environmental performances to relevant stakeholders, whereas Product Category Rules (PCRs) provide guidelines for making EPDs in different product categories. Little is known regarding the cost for developing EPDs and PCRs. We therefore conducted an international survey, and 15 responses from EPD certification operators we
This paper proposes a framework for the analysis of technological innovation processes in transnational contexts. By drawing on existing innovation system concepts and recent elaborations on the globalization of innovation, we develop a multi-scalar conceptualization of innovation systems. Two key mechanisms are introduced and elaborated: the generation of resources in multi-locational subsystems
This paper uses an analytical framework of multi-level and multi-phase perspectives to explore low carbon transition pathways for the UK road transport system. The work draws on the impact made by the national (UK) and regional (EU) low carbon policy instruments on the UK road sector. The results show that the transformation pathway, which is at the take-off phase on a large scale, is the only ful

We present the implementation of a platform for providing mobility and reliability to computational tasks that are executed in the access cloud. The platform is primarily aimed at providing an experimental tool for further studying of sophisticated techniques for task scheduling, placement and migration policies. In its current form, the platform supports streaming services but can be extended wit
The project combines the highly sensitive salt(NaCl) dosemeter for photon radiation with a neutronphotonconverter in the form of thin gadolinium foilsenclosing the salt. Using an identical salt dosemeter butwithout gadolinium cover determines the primaryphoton contribution. With these twin dosemeters placedin a polyethylene sphere, both photon and neutron dosecontributions can be estimated. This p
Celiac disease is associated with the HLA-DR3-DQA1*05:01-DQB1*02:01 and DR4-DQA1*03:01-DQB1*03:02 haplotypes. In addition, there are currently over 40 non-HLA loci associated with celiac disease. This study extends previous analyses on different HLA haplotypes in celiac disease using next generation targeted sequencing. Included were 143 patients with celiac disease and 135 non-celiac disease cont
This brief presents an on-chip memory subsystem for massive multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) baseband processing at the base station. In massive MIMO systems, the required memory bandwidth and capacity are orders of magnitude higher than those used in conventional wireless systems, due to the large number of serving antennas. These are further combined with design targets on low access latenc
Essän recenserar Troels Nøragers bok "Emerson – religion som moralsk livsform" och sätter samtidigt in Nøragers reflektioner kring Emerson i ett större resonemang om synen på religion under romantiken.
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore how organizational design could support teamwork and to identify organizational design principles that promote successful teamwork. Design/methodology/approach: Since traditional team training sessions take resources away from production, the alternative approach pursued here explores the promotion of teamwork by means of organizational design.
