The modelling of large systems is greatly simplified if their hierarchical decomposition and interconnection structure can be described graphically. The paper describes a system allowing input of block diagrams and continuous zooming to view internal details. Model equations are automatically transformed to assignment statements when possible, allowing efficient explicit integration routines to be

Dagens tryckta och digitala texter är inte bara språkliga utan komplexa och multimodala. Det innebär att de förutom den språkliga texten innehåller även bilder och grafiska medel av olika slag. I denna komplexa textvärld är det extra viktigt att tillgängliggöra bilder så att användare med synnedsättning inte missar viktig information och har samma möjlighet att tillgodogöra sig innehållet som seen

I denna rapport redovisas populationstrender för 198 svenska fågelarter för åren 1975–2016. Fåglarna har räknats vinter, vår och sommar enligt strikt standardiserade metoder. Sommar- respektive vinterpunktrutter har räknats sedan 1975, i huvudsak i södra Sverige. Standardrutterna räknas också på sommaren (sedan 1996) men täcker hela Sverige. Nattaktiva fåglar har räknats sedan 2010. Utöver detta rWe present the results of the Swedish Bird Survey, run by the Department of Biology, Lund University, as a part of the National Monitoring Programme of the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency. The results for 2016 include data from: 565 winter point counts in 2015/2016 (41st winter), of which 281 were carried out during the Christmas/New Year count, 249 summer point count routes (42nd year) an

The results for 2017 include data from: 575 winter point counts in 2016/2017 (42nd winter), of which 284 were carried out during the Christmas/New Year count, 223 summer point count routes (43rd year) an

Diffusion of a particle through an energy and diffusivity landscape is a very general phenomenon in numerous systems of soft and condensed matter. On the one hand, theoretical frameworks such as Langevin and Fokker-Planck equations present valuable accounts to understand these motions in great detail, and numerous studies have exploited these approaches. On the other hand, analytical solutions for

Modern antenna design for communication systems revolves around two extremes: devices, where only a small region is dedicated to antenna design, and base stations, where design space is not shared with other components. Both imply different restrictions on what performance is realizable. In this paper properties of both ends of the spectrum in terms of MIMO performance is investigated. For small a

This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows: The objective of this review is to assess benefits and harms of postnatal administration of corticosteroids for the management of transient tachypnea of the newborn.

In order to assess the potential of electrical resistivity for imaging gas migration at landfills, two relatively well-known sites - one bioreactor landfill and a conventional landfill - have been monitored successively. A three-dimensional resistivity image could be constructed every two hour on both sites. Meteorological parameters were monitored at the same time, with one measurement taken ever

The problem of planning a trajectory for robots starting in an initial state and reaching a final state in a desired interval of time is tackled. We propose an approach based on model predictive control to solve the problem of point-to-point trajectory generation for a given final time. We discuss various choices of models, objective functions, and constraints for generating trajectories to transf

Background: Numerous different types of variations can occur in DNA and have diverse effects and consequences. The Variation Ontology (VariO) was developed for systematic descriptions of variations and their effects at DNA, RNA and protein levels. Results: VariO use and terms for DNA variations are described in depth. VariO provides systematic names for variation types and detailed descriptions fo

Samverkan har blivit en nyckelterm för att förstå akademins förväntade roll i samhället. Genom samverkansprojekt ska nya värden, lösningar och framgångar skördas. Men hur går detta till i praktiken?
Samverkan handlar om relationer, och relationer förändras över tid. Just föränderligheten och brokigheten när det gäller samverkan är viktig att förstå. Vilka är utmaningarna och möjligheterna? Samverk

Purpose: The aim of the study is to investigate associations between socioeconomic and occupational factors and lymphoproliferative (LP) diseases. Methods: We performed a follow-up study on the economically active Swedish population, based on the Swedish Family-Cancer Database. Standardized incidence ratios and 95% confidence intervals were calculated in different social classes and occupations. R

Vacant commercial facilities are an increasing concern in many developed countries. Despitethe low occupancy rates in existing facilities, new commercial facilities that betteraccommodate the needs of modern end-users are constantly developed. In addition to financialconcerns, under-utilized spaces are a great environmental burden, as buildings account forapproximately one third of the global ener

The built environment accounts for 40% of the totalenergy consumption and CO2 emissions in Europe.Furthermore, the majority of environmental impacts ofproperties are generated during the operation phase of thebuilding. Increasing energy efficiency through energymanagement could offer an effective solution to managing theCO2 emissions of a building through its life cycle. Buildingautomation systems
