A review is made of the basic tools used in mathematics to define acalculus for pseudodifferential operators on Riemannian manifolds endowed with aconnection: existence theorem for the function that generalizes the phase; analogueof Taylor’s theorem; torsion and curvature terms in the symbolic calculus; the twokinds of derivative acting on smooth sections of the cotangent bundle of the Riemannianm
Background: Being a family caregiver for a person with Parkinson s disease (PD) can negatively impact health and wellbeing, but it appears less clear to what extent caregivers health/social service needs are met. Objective: We explored the extent to which PD family caregivers experience sufficient access to health/social services, as compared to age-matched controls; and the associations between t
The release of alkali metals (Na and K) during biomass pyrolysis was numerically and experimentally investigated using Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy technique that could extend the measurements of alkali metal concentration to the sooty pyrolysis stage. Two distinct peaks of metal concentrations were observed at the pyrolysis stage and at the gasification stage. Since during the pyrolysis s
This paper focuses on the on-going doctoral research of the writer. Specifically, the topic of this article is on the methodology, the theoretical approach and the first steps of the research. The general aim is the contribution of 3D documentation and the 3D digital approach to the stylistic and typological study of archaeological collections. The study is applied to the collection of the Ayia Ir
Alternative methods for accurate in vitro assessment of skin and respiratory sensitizers are urgently needed. Sensitization is a complex biological process that cannot be evaluated accurately using single events or biomarkers, since the information content is too restricted in these measurements. On the contrary, if the tremendous information content harbored in DNA/mRNA could be mined, most compl
The human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) life cycle can be divided into an early stage in which the HPV16 genomic DNA is replicated, and a late stage in which the HPV16 structural proteins are synthesized and virions are produced. A strong coupling between the viral life cycle and the differentiation state of the infected cell is highly characteristic of all HPVs. The switch from the HPV16 early g
The last few decades have seen the appearance of a number of mosques that do not constitute buildings; they are mosques without bricks. This article therefore defines a new concept, the pop-up mosque, as an analytical term for the temporary conversion of an other-purposed space into a mosque, which is used for Islamic rituals such as Friday prayer and marriages. The pop-up mosque can produce relig
The minimum weighted edge dominating set problem (MWEDS) generalizes both the weighted vertex cover problem and the problem of covering the edges of graph by a minimum cost set of both vertices and edges. In this paper, we propose a meta heuristic approach based on genetic algorithm and local search to solve the MWEDS problem. Therefore, the proposed method is considered as a memetic search algori
Many ships today rely on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), for their navigation, where GPS (Global Positioning System) is the most well-known. Unfortunately, the GNSS systems make the ships dependent on external systems, which can be malfunctioning, be jammed or be spoofed. There is today some proposed techniques where, e.g., bottom depth measurements are compared with known maps using B
The need to decrease emissions from the transport sector is getting urgent and public transport can play an important role in the transition to low emission fuels. To a large extent, public transport in Europe is provided by regional authorities who controls the traffic to a varying degree, from complete public monopoly to competitive tendering. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to analyse how t
A method is presented aiming at enabling more holistic flood risk management efforts by accounting for cascading effects that arise in critical infrastructure and vital societal functions in flooding events. The method is under development but shows promise in guiding national, regional and local risk management efforts in Sweden towards flooding events.
This paper examines the determinants of hip fracture costs and further evaluates potential savings in costs when the occurrence of hip fracture is prevented. The costs of hip fracture are comprised of direct costs from health care and the social welfare system. Data were collected for 1,080 postmenopausal women admitted from private residence for primary hip fracture surgery during the year of 199
Klimatförändringarna kommer att påverka ekosystem och samhällen över hela världen. Det är ett problem som kräver drastiska och omedelbara förändringar av vårt sätt att leva och av våra samhällsstrukturer, och därmed politiskt engagemang av aldrig tidigare skådat slag. Under de senaste 30 åren, sedan bildandet av Förenta Nationernas ramkonvention om klimatförändringar (Klimatkonventionen; UNFCCC) åThe rise of climate change as an issue of global concern has rested on scientific representation and understanding of the causes and impacts of, and responses to climatic change. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), in particular, has been central to how climate change has become known as a global political problem. This thesis aims to critically examine the production, negotiatio
