The scale-invariant behavior of the rainfall time structure was investigated by applying the box counting method to rainfall time series. Two years of minute observations, 90 years of daily observations and 170 years of monthly observations were analyzed and the results were interpreted and related to physical properties of the rainfall process. This paper discusses the question of whether an hypo

• AimThe aim of this study is to unravel the potential of atmospheric thinking for place brand communication research. As such, it explores how place branding can be understood as a process of communicatively crafting ‘strategic atmospheres’, namely as a process of constituting specific affective and sensory relatings to urban space. • Theoretical framework The theoretical argument is informed by

Objective. Ultrasound can detect individual motor unit (MU) activity during voluntary isometric contractions based on their subtle axial displacements. The detection pipeline, currently performed offline, is based on displacement velocity images and identifying the subtle axial displacements. This identification can preferably be made through a blind source separation (BSS) algorithm with the feas

The first incommensurate ordering of NH4Cu7-xS4 (x = 0.16) has been investigated using X-ray single crystal diffraction at 174 K. The modulated structure is described with monoclinic symmetry with the cell parameters a = 10.272 (angstrom), b = 10.272 (angstrom), c = 7.694 (angstrom) and β=90.0°. It belongs to the four-dimensional space group P:P2/n:-11 {conventional setting P:P2/b:-11 (no. 13.1)}.

We classify the weak traveling wave solutions for a class of one-dimensional non-linear shallow water wave models. The equations are shown to admit smooth, peaked, and cusped solutions, as well as more exotic waves such as stumpons and composite waves. We also explain how some previously studied traveling wave solutions of the models fit into this classification.

An automated high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method has been developed for measurement of 5-S-cysteinyl-DOPA in urine (DOPA = 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine). The urinary sample was injected into an HPLC boronate column. With a mobile phase of 0.1 M phosphate buffer containing 0.2 mM disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate (Na2EDTA) (pH 6.0) mixed with methanol (9:1), 5-S-cysteinyl-DOPA wa

A 14C-dated magnetostratigraphy of absolute declination and inclination between 12500 and 10000 14C yr BP was recently developed for southern Sweden. Recently also the Swedish geochronological time-scale, based on c. 11 500 annually deposited clay-varves, was connected with the present. It should therefore be possible to compare the two chronologies with a reliable magnetostratigraphic record in a

We study a one-dimensional random walk whose expected drift depends both on time and the position of a particle. We establish a non-trivial phase transition for the recurrence vs. transience of the walk, and show some interesting applications to Friedman's urn, as well as showing the connection with Lamperti's walk with asymptotically zero drift.

This paper presents a real-time hand gesture recognition system by accelerating a convolutional neural network (CNN) using FPGA platform. More specifically, ZynqNet is adopted and modified to fulfill the classification task of recognizing the Swedish manual alphabet, which is used by sign language users for spelling purposes, also known as fingerspelling. Data augmentation and transfer learning te

The growth and survival of children was studied after rehabilitation for malnutrition at the Nutrition Rehabilitation Centre (NRC) of St Mary's Hospital on average 1.5 year after discharge. The findings are intended partly to provide descriptive information on later progress in the community of these children and also to identify specific risk factors. Of 50 children eligible for follow-up, 39 (78
