Carefully selecting the source data is crucial to achieve high performance of transfer learning methods for brain–computer interfaces (BCIs). Especially so in settings where a large amount of source data is available, and finding the optimal source is not computationally feasible. This paper presents a novel method for source selection, the so-called Transfer Performance Predictor (TPP) method. Th
Rapid and deep energy system decarbonisation is essential to a safe future. Thermal energy storage may hold the key to significant carbon reduction of the heating, cooling and electricity sectors, but the UK remains largely locked in to a fossil-fuel based heating regime. Global urbanisation trends mean cities are crucial to the net-zero transition. This thesis provides a sociotechnical analysis o
Purpose: This paper seeks to explore the manner in whichsecondary vocational education in agriculture can facilitateunlearning among young farmers. In this context, ‘unlearning’means deliberately letting go of mindsets, practices, and routinesthat are no longer fit for purpose.Design/Methodology/Approach: We use a course on sustainablefamily-farm succession as a case study in order to illustrate h
Climate warming profoundly alters cryospheric hydrological cycles, exacerbating the challenge of simulating the poorly understood processes, particularly in complex, glacier- and permafrost-dominated headwater basins. This difficulty centers on accurately representing the compound runoff regimes generated by the complex, overlapping interactions between rainfall and multiple cryospheric melt proce
Osteoarthritis (OA) is an age-related disease of the joint in which the tissues degenerate and the function of the joint is disrupted. Key load-bearing tissues that break down as part of knee osteoarthritis include the articular cartilage and the meniscus. These tissues are complex cartilaginous tissues, consisting of around 70% water confined in a network of collagens and proteoglycans. During OA
Over the past decade, scientific studies have used the growing availability of large tracking datasets to enhance our understanding of human mobility behavior. However, so far data processing pipelines for the varying data collection methods are not standardized and consequently limit the reproducibility, comparability, and transferability of methods and results in quantitative human mobility anal
Accurate activity location prediction is a crucial component of many mobility applications and is particularly required to develop personalized, sustainable transportation systems. Despite the widespread adoption of deep learning models, next location prediction models lack a comprehensive discussion and integration of mobility-related spatio-temporal contexts. Here, we utilize a multi-head self-a
Heavy-duty transport is one of the major contributors to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, with internal combustion engines (ICEs) expected to remain an important propulsion technology in long-haul applications during the transition to sustainable transport. The use of renewable gaseous fuels such as biogas and hydrogen offers a promising pathway to significantly reduce the climate impact of
Although 6G is not only about higher data rates, its envisioned peak data rate of 1 terabits per second requires larger frequency bandwidth than what 5G millimeter wave bands offer. Therefore, new frequency bands have been allocated in the sub-THz range for 6G applications. This paper reviews the concept of distributed deployment to provide coverage in sub-THz bands, focusing on the design and imp
Background: Treatment of brain injuries and neurodegenerative disorders is a critical challenge due to poor regenerative capabilities of the central nervous system. The current therapeutic strategies are primarily focussed on treating the symptoms than addressing the core issue of loss of neurons. Despite advances in stem cell therapies and surgical alternatives, they are not always successful due
Fixed-target platforms provide convenient support for microcrystals during serial X-ray crystallography studies using synchrotron radiation. Here, we describe a simple user-friendly 3D-printed support where the crystals are sandwiched between two layers of thin X-ray-transparent membrane resulting in very low scattering background. The platform is compatible with magnetic mounting onto the standar

In this thesis, a high-repetition-rate attosecond light source based on high-order harmonic generation in gases was used to perform time-resolved electron spectroscopy in atoms and solids. The source was driven by few-cycle near-infrared laser pulses with a controllable carrier-to-envelope phase, enabling the generation of sequences of two to four attosecond pulses in the extreme ultraviolet range
“Right to repair” (R2R) has become an important policy objective in European Union (EU) policy and law. The main objective of R2R is to remove barriers that inhibit consumers from repairing the products they own. The EU has made use of different regulatory frameworks to enforce R2R, most notably product regulation to induce design changes and ensure that spare parts and software updates are availa
Uppsatsen är en litteraturstudie av befintligt material och befintlig statistik som har gjorts under de senaste 10 åren och som avser den sociala snedrekryteringen. Ändamålet med denna typ av undersökning är att se om, och i så fall vilken effekt den sociala snedrekryteringen har haft när det gäller antalet invandrare till högskoleutbildning. Med invandrare menas utrikesfödda som är folkbokförda i
Syftet med denna studie är att kartlägga och analysera engagemangets roll i förhållandet till sociala problem och belysa detta utifrån exemplet trafficking. Uppsatsen besvarar frågor om engagemangets betydelse då det handlar om att etablera sociala problem samt hur trafficking kan definieras som ett socialt problem. Vi har använt oss av en rad teorier som vi har tillämpat på sociala problem, enga
As public libraries in Sweden receive the bulk of their budget from local government funding, which has stayed static or, at best, seen small increases, libraries have been faced with inadequate resources with which to satisfy increasing expectations from users. As few libraries are over-funded in the first place, ways may have to be found to combat this situation. The aim of this Masters thesis i
