The various types of phase-change materials (PCMs), which absorb or release stored latent heat when they change phases causing cooling and warming effects, are described and the working principles are outlined. The various ways of incorporating PCMs into textiles for protective clothing are explored, and critical factors identified that determine the effectiveness of PCM cooling and warming effect
BackgroundFetal cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) improves the diagnosis of congenital heart defects, but is sensitive to fetal motion due to long image acquisition time. This may be overcome with faster image acquisition with low resolution, followed by image enhancement to provide clinically useful images.PurposeTo combine phase-encoding undersampling with super-resolution neural networks
Human rely profoundly on tactile feedback from fingertips to interact with the environment, whereas most hand prostheses used in clinics provide no tactile feedback. In this study we demonstrate the feasibility to use a tactile display glove that can be worn by a unilateral hand amputee on the remaining healthy hand to display tactile feedback from a hand prosthesis. The main benefit is that users
The present invention relates to novel enantiomerically pure intermediary compounds containing specifically substituted tetrahydrofuran structures as well as a method for preparing such intermediary compounds of formula (I), in which the carbon atom in the 2-position has (R)- or (S)-configuration; the substituents in the 2- and 3-positions are trans-related; the substituents in the 3- and 4-positi
Recent technological and conceptual advances have resulted in a plethora of exciting novel engineered adeno associated viral (AAV) vector variants. They all have unique characteristics and abilities. This review summarizes the development and their potential in treating Parkinson's disease (PD). Clinical trials in PD have shown over the last decade that AAV is a safe and suitable vector for gene t
By employing a critical perspective toward a broad range of organizational subjects, Mats Alvesson has managed to challenge much of the conventional understanding of modern organizations and, subsequently, produce a series of alternative insights that has substantially developed organizational research and potentially enabled both organizational and societal change. While this has included the est
The glucose concentration in diluted whole blood has been measured, using a miniaturized thermal biosensor based on the enzyme thermistor principle. The biosensor is a small flow-injection system. A sample volume of 20μ1 is injected into a flow of 50μl/min. The heat produced when the sample passes the enzyme column is measured with a thermistor connected to a Wheatstone bridge. The enzyme column c
Migratory birds often move significantly within their nonbreeding range before returning to breed. It remains unresolved under which circumstances individuals relocate, whether movement patterns are consistent between populations and to what degree the individuals benefit from the intra-tropical movement (ITM). We tracked adult great reed warblers Acrocephalus arundinaceus from a central and a sou
In an ampoule for a medicament the space accommodating the medicament is defined by an ampoule wall (1) a pierceable seal (5) closing one end of the ampoule and a piston (7) closing the other end of the ampoule. A metal containing fixation element (8) is secured to one of the parts defining the medicament accommodating space. A mixing element (9, 10) also containing a metal and having a density la

BastuBaћar is a public sauna experience carved into the limestone coast of Sliema, Malta - a reimagining of the long-lost Chalet, once a beloved landmark of leisure and gathering. This project introduces an unfamiliar, experimental ritual to the Maltese Islands - a guided sauna and bathing experience open to all. A synthesis of the Swedish word for sauna and the Maltese word for sea, the project
We explored various methods for inducing quantum dots (QDs) in pure zinc blende (ZB) InAs nanowires. This material exhibits high conductivity due to the presence of an intrinsic accumulation layer of charge carriers, resulting from surface band bending and donor impurities. To create regions that can be depleted by gate potentials (barriers) in the axial direction of the nanowire, we employed both
This thesis investigates the performance of two model predictive control (MPC) variants for autonomous racing, using a 1:10-scale vehicle as a testbed for reference path-tracking experiments. The platform is equipped with a single inertial navigation system (INS) sensor, providing highly accurate odometry measurements. The controllers under study are the standard gradient-based MPC and a sampling-
The aim of this thesis is to explore how methods from survival and event history analysis, namely relative risk regression, can be used to estimate prior probabilities in criminal cases, based on the distance between the potential perpetrator’s residence and the crime scene as well as further characteristics of the potential perpetrator. The locations of potential perpetrators residences can be mo
Denna uppsats undersöker den svenska lagändring som från och med juli 2023 innebär att alla som döms för narkotikaförsäljning av normalgraden ska få minst sex månaders fängelse. Reformen är en del av regeringens satsning på att motverka gängkriminalitet och öppen droghandel, och syftar enligt pro-position 2022/23:53 till att avskräcka såväl yrkeskriminella som unga rekryter från att delta i narkotThis thesis analyses the 2023 Swedish legislative reform that introduces a mandatory minimum prison sentence of six months for drug dealing, as stipu-lated in the Penal Law on Narcotics Offences (narkotikastrafflagen). The re-form forms part of a broader strategy against gang-related crime and open drug markets, with explicit governmental expectations of greater deterrence, disruption of criminal
This thesis explores advancements in Automatic Speaker Verification (ASV) by examining the impact of multiple speaker enrollments and introducing Adaptive Neural Probabilistic Linear Discriminant Analysis (Adaptive NPLDA). Modern ASV combines front-end feature extraction, using state-of-the-art methods based on Deep Neural Networks (DNNs), such as the ReDimNet architectures, with back-end modeling
Calculating the color factor of matrix elements for gluon processes is difficult since the gauge group of QCD, SU(3), is non-Abelian. The most commonly used methods for treating color structure all scale as the square of a factorial with the number of gluons, making calculations with more than a few gluons too time-consuming to carry out on demand. This thesis will provide an alternative approach
