Ultra-reliable, low-latency communication (URLLC) is being developed to support critical control applications over wireless networks. Exploiting spatial diversity through relays is a promising technique for achieving the stringent requirements of URLLC, but coordinating relays reliably and with low overhead is a challenge. Adaptive relay selection techniques have been proposed as a way to simplify
Introduction: The osmotic conductance to glucose (OCG) is a crucial determinant of ultrafiltration (UF) in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients and can be used to monitor membrane integrity in patients on long-term PD. It has been proposed that OCG can be assessed based on drained volumes in 2 consecutive 1-hour glucose dwells, usually 1.5% and 4.25% glucose, in a so-called double mini-peritoneal equ
We propose the Positive Resampler to solve the problem associated with event samples from state-of-the-art predictions for scattering processes at hadron colliders typically involving a sizeable number of events contributing with negative weight. The proposed method guarantees positive weights for all physical distributions, and a correct description of all observables. A desirable side product of
Zoegas kaffe skapade kaffesorten Maria Zoega, som lanserades i slutet av september 2018. Detta kaffe var en direkt följd av företagets samverkan med projektet "Normkritiska perspektiv på lokal historia" där det under projektets försorg togs fram ny information som visade på Maria Zoegas betydelse för kaffeföretaget. Denna information ledde till att företagets historia skrevs om, att det lanserades
Whole-exome and whole-genome sequencing (WES, WGS) can generate an unprecedented amount of complex information, making the informed consent (IC) process challenging. The aim of our study was to assess the readability of English IC forms for clinical whole-exome and whole-genome sequencing using the SMOG and Flesch-Kincaid formulas. We analysed 36 forms, most of which were from US providers. The me
The use of virtual reality in human behavior in fire research has the advantage of being able to produce results comparable to more traditional laboratory or field experiments. This method relies not only on the technology employed but also on the participants' perception of realism when exposed to a virtual emergency scenario. A virtual scenario can be perceived as realistic based on the way it l
In this brief text we look at one instance of how gender norms continue to inform institutional treatment of parents regarding care for children: specifically, at how the exercise of fathers' responsibilities for their children can be discouraged or altogether blocked.
Arbetet med civil krisberedskap är centralt för hur samhället förmår förebygga och hantera kriser av olika slag. Den civila beredskapen inkluderar grundläggande förmågor som att ge sjukvård, upprätthålla livsmedelsdistribution och se till att infrastruktur som elnät och internetkommunikation fungerar, även i en allvarlig kris eller till och med ett krig. Under coronapandemin har diskussionerna gåt
A new approach for one‐stage facile membrane modification during non‐solvent induced phase separation (NIPS)‐process is proposed. The novelty of this study is that cheap and commercially available anionic high molecular polyacrylamide‐based flocculant (AHMPF) is applied for the first time as an additive to coagulation bath (CB). The series of polyethersulfone membranes were prepared using 0.05–0.3
The existing models for the conversion and design of polymer gears are only valid for involute gears. This research was focused on S-gears, a specific type of gear profile which has more favorable contact conditions and greater root thickness when compared to involute gears. S-gears design is currently based on tests, experience, and the use of numerical simulations. Due to the lack of a simple ca
We study the problem of obtaining lower bounds for polynomial calculus (PC) and polynomial calculus resolution (PCR) on proof degree, and hence by [Impagliazzo et al. '99] also on proof size. [Alekhnovich and Razborov'03] established that if the clause-variable incidence graph of a CNF formula F is a good enough expander, then proving that F is unsatisfiable requires high PC/PCR degree. We further
Archaeological collections are crucial in heritage studies and are used every day for training archaeologists and cultural heritage specialists. The recent developments in 3D acquisition and visualization technology has contributed to the rapid emergence of a large number of 3D collections, whose production is often justified as the democratization of data and knowledge production. Despite the fac
The past several decades have illustrated an enormous interest in noble metal nanoparticles for their superior catalytic activity, however, their industrial use is very restricted due to inefficient recovery leading to potential contamination of products and the environment. Immobilised nanoparticles illustrate promising results for scaling up processes, and can be successfully applied for various
One of the major features of prostate cancer (PCa) is its heterogeneity, which often leads to uncertainty in cancer diagnostics and unnecessary biopsies as well as overtreatment of the disease. Novel non-invasive tests using multiple biomarkers that can identify clinically high-risk cancer patients for immediate treatment and monitor patients with low-risk cancer for active surveillance are urgent
Given the tremendous phenomenological success of the Standard Model (SM) framework, it becomes increasingly important to understand to what extent its specific structure dynamically emerges from unification principles. In this study, we present a novel anomaly-free supersymmetric (SUSY) Grand Unification model based upon gauge trinification [SU(3)]3 symmetry and a local SU (2) F× U (1) F family sy
We study shrinking target problems and the set of eventually always hitting points. These are the points whose first n iterates will never have empty intersection with the nth target for sufficiently large n. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions on the shrinking rate of the targets for to be of full or zero measure especially for some interval maps including the doubling map, some quadrat
The Large Intelligent Surface (LIS) concept has emerged recently as a new paradigm for wireless communication, remote sensing and positioning. It consists of a continuous radiating surface placed relatively close to the users, which is able to communicate with users by independent transmission and reception (as a Base Station). Despite of its potential, there are a lot of challenges from an implem
