In the past two decades, the eddy covariance technique has been used for an increasing number of methane flux studies at an ecosystem scale. Previously, most of these studies used a closed path setup with a tunable diode laser spectrometer (TDL). Although this method worked well, the TDL has to be calibrated regularly and cooled with liquid nitrogen or a cryogenic system, which limits its use in r

Navigate PD was an educational program established to supplement existing guidelines and provide recommendations on the management of Parkinson's disease (PD) refractory to oral/transdermal therapies. It involved 103 experts from 13 countries overseen by an International Steering Committee (ISC) of 13 movement disorder specialists. The ISC identified 71 clinical questions important for device-aide

Background: The aim of this study is to estimate ovarian volume, number and volume of antral follicles, and ovarian power Doppler vascular indices as assessed by three-dimensional (3D) transvaginal grayscale and power Doppler ultrasound in women using combined oral contraceptives (COC). Study Design: Two hundred thirteen gynecologically asymptomatic women 20-39 years old using COC were examined wi

Climate reconstructions from data sensitive to past climates provide estimates of what these climates were like. Comparing these reconstructions with simulations from climate models allows to validate the models used for future climate prediction. It has been shown that for fossil pollen data, gaining estimates by inverting a vegetation model allows inclusion of past changes in carbon dioxide valu

Popular Abstract in English In the past decade, mobile wireless communication have had a tremendous impact on the way people perceive and use mobile devices, most popularly the mobile phone. Apart from making phone calls, they are capable of being cameras to take pictures and videos, able to browse the Internet, do video calling and much more just like an yesteryear computer. The wireless medium iThe demand for spectrum resources in cellular systems worldwide has seen a tremendous escalation in the recent past. The mobile phones of today are capable of being cameras taking pictures and videos, able to browse the Internet, do video calling and much more than an yesteryear computer. Due to the variety and the amount of information that is being transmitted the demand for spectrum resources i

We assessed the effects of deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN-DBS) or internal pallidum (GPi-DBS) on health-related quality of life (HrQoL) in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease participating in a previously reported multicenter trial. Sickness Impact Profile (SIP) questionnaires were available for analysis in a Subgroup of n = 20/20 patients with GPi-DBS and n = 45/49

Purpose: To estimate inter-observer agreement with regard to describing adnexal masses using the International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) terminology and the risk of malignancy calculated using IOTA logistic regression models LR1 and LR2, and to elucidate what explained the largest inter-observer differences in calculated risk of malignancy. Experimental Design: 117 women with adnexal masses we

Background: Clinical studies have evaluated a correlation between preoperative walking capacity or function and outcome after hip and knee joint replacement surgery with contradictory results. Our aim was to investigate the effect of preoperative metabolic and/or aerobic exercise on surgical outcome, as well as to evaluate the effect of cumulated exercise by using a cutoff value at 3.5 hours throu

Studies seeking to validate real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) with regard to cardiac function and dimensions have almost exclusively used apical views. However, it has never been examined whether apical views are preferable to parasternal or subcostal views. In the present study, we compared the feasibility of 3DE volumetric measurements of the four heart chambers in three differe

Abstract To build airtight buildings is something that is becoming increasingly important for operators in the construction industry. As stricter demands on airtightness and lower energy consumption are required This airtight project addresses two aspects of the construction for the success of air sealing. Partly which methods to use to get a building airtight but also what utilities have been dev

Abstract The self-driving car (SDC) is about to exit fantasy and enter reality. SDCs are expected to be available for purchase in just a few years, and the new technologies that enable autonomous driving hold much promise, regarding safety, environmental impact, increased mobility and higher comfortability. However, there are worrying prospects, too. Some experts worry that the autonomous car

Background Supply chains in low margin, high innovation speed industries with strong customers generate a highly competitive environment. The conditions for such environment are continuously changing and put high demands on its actors. FlatFrog is a case company, which was founded in 2007 and develops a unique touch technology targeting a wide range of screens sizes and applications. External capi

Pore water pressure is defined relative to atmospheric pressure and it is cero kPa at the water table. Under the water table the pore water pressure rises linearly at a hydrostatic pressure distribution and above the water table it sinks. How the pore water pressure profile above the groundwater table develops in practice depends on the soil water content. The relationship between water content an

Title: Development of a Forecasting Model for Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Components. A Design Science Study at Tetra Pak. Authors: Faruk Kodzaga & Giacomo Daniele Supervisor: Jan Olhager, Department of Industrial Management and Logistics Background: The importance of accurate demand forecast is set due to the drivers of short lead-times, just-in-time-deliveries and cost effective

Reservdelars tillgänglighet är en central fråga i EU:s arbete för en cirkulär ekonomi och hållbar konsumtion. Genom den s.k. designreformen, bestående av förordning (EU) 2024/2822 och direktiv (EU) 2024/2823, införs ett harmoniserat reparationsundantag för formberoende reservdelar. Undantaget syftar till att harmonisera mönsterskyddet för reservdelar inom EU, och att liberalisera eftermarknaden föThe availability of spare parts is a central issue in the EU’s efforts to promote a circular economy and sustainable consumption. Through the so-called Design Reform, consisting of Regulation (EU) 2024/2822 and Directive (EU) 2024/282, a harmonised repair clause for component parts whose appearance determines the design is introduced. The purpose of the clause is to harmonise design protection for

Till följd av de rådande klimatutmaningarna har intresset för miljö- och klimatfrågor ökat i samhället. Konsumenter, näringsidkare och internationella organisationer strävar alla efter att bidra till den gröna omställningen. Särskilt konsumenterna efterfrågar miljömässigt hållbara produkter, vilket har lett till att många näringsidkare använder miljöpåståenden i sin marknadsföring. Dessa påståendeAs a result of the ongoing climate challenges, interest in environmental and climate issues has increased across society. Consumers, businesses, and international organizations are all striving to contribute to the green transition. In particular, consumers are demanding sustainable products, prompting many businesses to use environmental claims in their marketing. However, such claims are often v

For the Geneva motor show 2006 I created a special Trim and Colour for Pininfarina’s three production cars. Trim and Colour means the complete design of materials and colours used in the car exterior and interior. In my diploma work I explored the possibility to unite the image of three different cars by the use of material and colours. I analysed the exhibition environment in which they were to

In the early years of EC merger control, the Commission generally concluded that conglomerate mergers would not cause competitive harm. In recent years, however, the Commission has increasingly developed theories of competitive harm which are applicable to mergers which lack appreciable horizontal and vertical effects. The leveraging theory is typically applied in conglomerate mergers, where the m

OBJECTIVE: Patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer are traditionally followed by repeat cystoscopy and urine cytology. A fluorescence in situ hybridisation technique called UroVysion((R)) (UV) is now available for clinical diagnosis of urothelial cancer cells. The aim of the present study was to compare UV analysis with routine follow-up methods. METHODS: We studied an unselected cohort o
