A key element for successful blood transfusion is compatibility of the patient and donor red blood cell (RBC) antigens. Precise antigen matching reduces the risk for immunization and other adverse transfusion outcomes. RBC antigens are encoded by specific genes, which allows developing computational methods for determining antigens from genomic data. We describe here a classification method for de
Charged particle reconstruction in the presence of many simultaneous proton–proton (pp) collisions in the LHC is a challenging task for the ATLAS experiment’s reconstruction software due to the combinatorial complexity. This paper describes the major changes made to adapt the software to reconstruct high-activity collisions with an average of 50 or more simultaneous pp interactions per bunch cross
Neuromorphic computing promises to transform the current paradigm of traditional computing toward non-von Neumann dynamic energy-efficient problem solving. To realize this, a neuromorphic platform must possess intrinsic complexity reflected in the built-in diversity of its physical operation mechanisms. We propose and demonstrate the concept of a memlumor, an all-photonic device combining memory a
The bone marrow (BM) niche is a complex cellular, molecular, and physical microenvironment capable of homing and supporting hematopoiesis. It is characterized by its ability both maintain and to drive hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) self-renewal and differentiation which ultimately generate all blood cell types. However, how the niche elements interact in a human context remains la
This paper investigates a methodology for the precise statistical deconvolution of hardness properties within various metallic matrix multiphase materials. The central focus is on accurately characterizing mechanical behaviour in the context of complex materials. To meet these objectives, we implemented an approach involving nanoindentation analyses of the selected materials. This technique allowe
A continuously growing and mutating market with increasing demands on environmental sustainability, illuminated by unraveling environmental threats, highlights the need for greater resource efficiency in modern manufacturing industries. Machining has become pivotal in the pursuit of sustainability given its superior efficiency in manufacturing of metallic products. In theory, the efficiency of a m
In order to fully understand the underlying processes of catalysis, it is vital to combine measurements of the catalyst surface, where the reaction occurs, with measurements of the gas concentration close to the catalyst. We have developed a convenient setup, which uses a single laser system to visualise the gas surrounding a working catalyst in situ at realistic operating conditions. Planar Lase
This study presents a modular approach for the synthesis of multifunctional affinity sorbents, facilitating molecular separation via magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers. A magnetic propranolol-imprinted polymer (MIP) nanocomposite with superparamagnetic characteristics was synthesized through precipitation polymerization process coupled with coprecipitation methods. Initially, the propranolol-
Optimization and electrical control of photovoltaic (PV) and proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer systems are critical for efficient, scalable hydrogen production. Static coupling methods employ fixed electrical interconnections between PV arrays and the PEM stack, which cannot adapt to fluctuating irradiance or temperature. To overcome this, we propose an adaptive reconfiguration optimizat
Deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) and related microfluidic sorting devices are typically evaluated based on the size distributions of particles collected at each outlet, even though the more relevant measure of performance is the probability that a particle of a given size ends up in a specific outlet. Here, we use Bayes’ rule to infer these size-dependent routing probabilities from experim
The classification of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) based on ECG changes has evolved over time. Before the revascularization era, AMI was classified based on Q-waves that indicate loss of myocardium. After thrombolysis trials in the 1990s demonstrated a survival benefit, ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) classificatio
Syfet är att belysa hur det intellektuella kapitalet påverkas av företags olika metoder när de knyter till sig kunskap geonom tillskott av talanger, bättre allokering av talangerna eller låter leverantör tillhandahålla talangerna. Metoden består av 2 fysiska och 6 telefonintervjuer med personer som har god insikt i respektive organisations personalpolitik. Företagen befinner sig inte i samma brans
Syftet med examensarbetet är att analysera om BFN stötte på problem vid upparbetningen, samt om vår expert och redovisningsekonomerna tror samma problem kommer att uppstå vid tillämpningen. Ändamålet är även att beskriva varför dessa kommer att bli problematiska och om andra problem kommer att uppstå. I teorin beskrivs gällande regelverk och kommande K2-regelverket för belysta problemområden samt
Product integrity depends on the way the package is handled and transported; therefore packaging has a big impact on logistics, costs and efficiency along the entire distribution chain. Damaged or leaking packages are the result of an inconvenient distribution, and lead to product waste and a negative image of the brands involved. Even though Tetra Pak gives guidelines and recommendations concerni
