The liquid argon calorimeter is a key component of the ATLAS detector installed at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The primary purpose of this calorimeter is the measurement of electron and photon kinematic properties. It also provides a crucial input for measuring jets and missing transverse momentum. An advanced data monitoring procedure was designed to quickly identify issues that would affect
Popular Abstract in Swedish Artros är en av de vanligaste kroniska sjukdomarna och en av de främsta orsakerna till funktionshinder för människor världen över. Artros angriper ofta knä- och höftlederna och bryter ner det brosk som finns där. För den som drabbats av artros tar förloppet ofta många år, med successivt ökande smärtor och rörelsesvårigheter. Ofta upptäcks dessutom inte sjukdomen förrän Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common chronic disease and one of the major global causes for functional disabilities. The disease is characterized by loss and degradation of cartilage, commonly affecting the knees and hips. Delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI of cartilage (dGEMRIC) is a previously presented method for identification of early OA using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). By quantifying the T1 p
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) represent a recent stage in open education. In more and more institutions they are moving from an early entrepreneurial stage into the reality. The rapidly rising participation levels, high visibility and a growing community worldwide prompt a number of important questions. The MOOC Quality Project, an initiative of the European Foundation for Quality in E-Learn
Context: This paper analyses a sub-contractor specification in the mobile handset domain. Objective: The objective is to understand how quality requirements are specified and which types of requirements exist in a requirements specification from industry. Method: The case study is performed in the mobile handset domain, where a requirements specification was analyzed by categorizing and characteri
Past studies have repeatedly demonstrated the technical feasibility to produce polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) using bacterial biomass of mixed microbial cultures (MMCs). Commercial quality grades of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate), PHBV, can be produced with control of average monomer composition. However, demonstration of PHBV production and recovery with quality control of molecular wei
Instruments related to work are commonly illuminated from an ill-health perspective. The need for a concise and useable instrument in workplace health promotion governed the aim of this paper which is to present the development process and quality assessment of the Work Experience Measurement Scale (WEMS). A survey, using a questionnaire based on established theories regarding work and health, and
Introduction: Clinical Quality Registries (CQRs) were initiated in order to compare clinical outcomes between hospitals or regions within a country. To get an overview of these CQRs worldwide the aim of this study was to identify these CQRs for gynecological oncology and to summarize their characteristics, processes and QI's and to establish whether it is feasible to make an international comparis
Periodic dredging of harbors and other waterways is carried out to ensure suffi-cient depth for navigation. The Stabilization/Solidification method (S/S) is theglobal approach for improving the geotechnical characteristics and stabilizingpollutions in the low-compressive-strength dredged sediment (DS) for land rec-lamation. For this, different binders, such as cement, fly ash, and slag, are mixedw
Abstract in UndeterminedThe hitherto most successful theory explaining why similar industrialized market economies have developed such varying systems for social protection is the Power Resource Theory (PRT), according to which the generosity of the welfare state is a function of working class mobilization. In this paper, we argue that there is an under-theorized link in the micro-foundations for
BACKGROUND: Current health measurement instruments tend to measure aspects of ill-health rather than health in general. There is a need for a salutogenic perspective when describing health and developing a health measurement instrument. The aim of this article is to present the development process and quality assessment of a salutogenic health indicator scale. METHODS: A description of health, ema
How early can software quality be evaluated and how can it be done? As for quality requirements, several solutions have been proposed in the literature. In spite of the criticism, the ISO/IEC9126 standard has been widely adopted for software quality measurement throughout entire software development life-cycle. Other approaches usually focus on evaluating only some of the quality characteristics a
