The field of high energy physics (HEPs) has seen a marked increase in the use of machine learning (ML) techniques in recent years. The proliferation of applications has revolutionised many aspects of the data processing pipeline at collider experiments including the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In this whitepaper, we discuss the increasingly crucial role that ML plays in real-time analysis (RTA) a

Background: Lignocellulosic waste is a desirable biomass for use in second generation biorefineries. Up to 40% of its sugar content consist of pentoses, which organisms either take up sequentially after glucose depletion, or not at all. A previously described Escherichia coli strain, PPA652ara, capable of simultaneous consumption of glucose, xylose and arabinose was in the present work utilized fo

Background: Many children who have overweight or obesity before puberty can develop obesity in early adulthood, which is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The preschool years (ages 0-5) represents a point of opportunity for children to be active, develop healthy eating habits, and maintain healthy growth. Surveillance of childhood overweight and obesity in this age group can help

Interfacial stability issues at the cathode remain a bottleneck to developing durable and high-power all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs). In fact, the presence of conductive carbon in the cathode, necessary for high capacity and power capability, is believed to aggravate the stability woes. Thus, it is typically excluded from the cathode mix. Herein, employing a model functionalized ca

Purpose: To investigate whether our case company's entry mode decisions can be understood and explained by existing literature on choice of entry modes and national barriers to entry. Methodogy:A case study has been chosen as the main research design; we investigate our case firm thoroughly. At the same time we study the national markets Starbucks has entered with focus on the national barrier

First, this study examines how social worker

Entreprenadavtal är beteckningen för de avtal då en uppdragstagare åtar sig uppdraget att utföra ett visst arbete åt en uppdragsgivare. När en näringsidkare ingår ett sådant avtal med en konsument reglerar 4–8 §§ konsumenttjänstlagen hur uppdraget ska utföras. När två kommersiella aktörer ingår ett sådant avtal saknas dock en direkt tillämplig lagstiftning. Istället finns väletablerade standardavtConstruction contracts is the term of the contracts where a contractor undertakes the task of performing a certain assignment for an employer. When a business proprietor concludes such an agreements with a consumer, Sections 4–8 of the Consumer Service Act, (konsumenttjänstlagen), regulate how the assignment is to be performed. However, when two commercial actors concludes such an agreement, there

In order to enable an effective and efficient adoption of radical innovations in networks, science-based organizations should be aware of the challenges and resistance they may face within their network relationships, resulting from the interconnected structure of high-tech networks as well as the uncertain nature of their radical innovations. By analyzing how nuances of relationship quality influ

Development of valuable products from downstream process residual biomasses and profound reduction of waste are two key components for developing a more sustainable process industry. The importance of bio-renewable feedstocks and bio-based processing techniques are also crucial in the transformation to a more sustainable and green society. Therefore focus is directed on full exploitation of seawee

Here a lung-on-a-chip device was developed and fabricated using 3D-printing of molds. The lung-on-a-chip device was used as a lung injury model by overstretching of murine lung epithelial cells (MLE-12) monolayers, resembling the injury during mechanical ventilation. The cells were exposed to 25% strain, representing pathological conditions seen in ventilator induced lung injury of patients with

Risk communication forms an integral part of disaster preparedness. In light of the increasing likelihood and intensity of forest fires, areas like Canton Bern in Switzerland, not usually known as a forest fire hotspot, have planned to strengthen their risk communication efforts to help increase overall preparedness and mitigation. Using the example of forest fires, this paper will shed light on t

Introduction: This study is focused on the development and comparison of different extraction methods for vitamin D (VD) analysis in liver samples. Background: VD deficiency is related to several diseases, so it is crucial to correctly detect and quantify its concentration in the human body. Despite the existing methodologies for VD analysis, the selectivity and the sensitivity of the methods for

The impact that anthropogenic micropollutants have on the environment is increasingly gaining attention. As a result of this, Sweden, among other countries, is looking towards implementing advanced treatment for micropollutant and pharmaceutical product removal from wastewater prior to discharge into the environment. The leading method to achieve this is ozonation, which unfortunately also creates

Den tekniska utvecklingen tillåter företagen att implementera nya lösningar i sina verksamheter, men den låter även cyberangripare utveckla nya metoder för att angripa företagen. En rad olika metoder bygger på att lura den enskilda anställda i företaget att dela känsliga data med angriparen utan att de själva vet om det. Människan har även beskrivits som den “svaga länken” i cybersäkerhet, efterso

Akustophores är rörelse av partiklar/celler under inverkan av ljud. Partikel- och cell separation är en applikation som kan utföras av akustophores. Detta är en viktig teknik eftersom den kan avslöja viktig information om sjukdomar och celler och därigenom förbättra valet av behandling inom sjukvården. Genom att utnyttja ljud, så kan celler och partiklar i en lösning separeras efter deras specifikAcoustophoresis is the migration of particles/cells under the influence of sound. Particle and cell separation is an application that can be performed by acoustophoresis. This is an important technique since it can reveal important information about diseases and cells and thereby possibly improve the choice of treatment in healthcare. By utilizing sound, cells and particles in a suspension can be

Neuromorphic processors are a promising new type of hardware for optimizing neural network computation using biologically-inspired principles. They can effectively leverage information sparsity such as in images from event-based cameras, and are well-adapted to processing event-based data in an energy-efficient fashion. However, neuromorphic processors struggle to process high resolution event-bas

För att en stat lagligen ska kunna vidta kontraåtgärder enligt artikel 22 ARSIWA eller ha rätt att bruka självförsvar enligt artikel 51 FN-stadgan måste åtgärderna uppfylla kravet på proportionalitet. Vad det innebär att en åtgärd ska vara proportionerlig är dock inte självklart. Med utgångspunkt i rättsdogmatisk metod ämnar uppsatsen därför att undersöka hur proportionalitet förstås och tillämpasFor a state to legally have the right to take countermeasures under Article 22 of ARSIWA or have the right to use self-defence under Article 51 of the UN Charter, the measures must meet the requirement of proportionality. However, it is not obvious what it means for a measure to be proportionate. Based on the legal dogmatic method, this essay aims to investigate how proportionality is understood a
