In October 2016, the Special Interest Group on Theory of Characteristic Modes (TCM) initiated a coordinated effort to perform benchmarking work for characteristic mode (CM) analysis. The primary purpose is to help improve the reliability and capability of existing CM solvers and to provide the means for validating future tools. Significant progress has already been made in this joint activity. In

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a vector-borne disease, highly influenced by environmental factors, which is an increasing public health problem in Iran, especially in the north-western part of the country. A geographical information system was used to extract data and map environmental variables for all villages in the districts of Kalaybar and Ahar in the province of East Azerbaijan. An attempt t

Kapitel om gudstjänstdeltagande för en ny svensk lärobok i liturgik för universitetsstuderande.

Artikeln skildrar kortfattat de olika slags gudstjänster och riter som ägde rum i en sockenkyrka på medeltiden. Den är skriven för Bromma kyrkas 850-årsjubileum 2018.

Using authentic textual data from written personal narratives, we investigate how individuals with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Tourette Syndrome (TS) mediate their emotive and sensory experiences through language. Our study reveals that experiential comparisons of different kinds (Trying not to tic is like trying not to blink) feature pr

This article examines the two French-language novels by the Franco-Chinese migrant writer François Cheng, Le Dit de Tianyi (1998) and L'éternité n'est pas de trop (2002), and proposes to conceptualize them as two novelistic models of cultural translation. Cheng's engagement with, and departure from, canonical Western novelistic models such as Proust's A la recherche du temps perdu in Le Dit reveal

The sexological aspects of Proust’s work have largely been neglected in its Chinese reception. The paper focuses on the Chinese (re)translations of Proust’s sexual discourses in À la recherche du temps perdu and expounds the epistemic challenges and the evolving strategies of translating sadomasochism and homosexuality into Chinese. It further explores how these observations refract the changing a

The Franco-Chinese migrant woman writer Shan Sa left Beijing for Paris at the age of almost eighteen in 1990. After her settlement in France, French soon became her additional, increasingly dominant language of literary creation. This article examines Shan’s three self-acclaimed ‘historical’ novels about ancient China – Les Quatre vies du saule (Prix Cazes 1999), La Cithare nue (2010), and Impérat

The Franco-Chinese migrant writer François Cheng (Grand Prix de la francophonie de l’Académie française 2001) is the first French Academician of Asian origin. His French-language novel Le Dit de Tianyi (Prix Femina 1998, rather differently translated into English as The River Below) recounts the protagonist’s life trajectory across the turbulent twentieth century, from wartime China to France and

There is a significant interest in scene reconstructionfrom underwater images given its utility for oceanic researchand for recreational image manipulation. In this paperwe propose a novel algorithm for two view camera motionestimation for underwater imagery. Our method leveragesthe constraints provided by the attenuation propertiesof water and its effects on the appearance of the color todetermin

In this paper we study the problem of automatically generatingpolynomial solvers for minimal problems. The maincontribution is a new method for finding small eliminationtemplates by making use of the syzygies (i.e. the polynomialrelations) that exist between the original equations. Usingthese syzygies we can essentially parameterize the setof possible elimination templates.We evaluate our method o

Neural networks designed for real-time object detectionhave recently improved significantly, but in practice, look-ing at only a single RGB image at the time may not be ideal.For example, when detecting objects in videos, a foregrounddetection algorithm can be used to obtain compact temporaldata, which can be fed into a neural network alongside RGBimages. We propose an approach for doing this, bas

Indoor localisation is a currently a key issue, from robotics to the Internet of Things. With hardware advancements making Ultra-Wideband devices more accurate and low powered (potentially even passive), this unlocks the potential of having such devices in common place around factories and homes, enabling an alternative method of navigation. Therefore, anchor calibration indoors becomes a key prob

The Twentieth Century in European Memory investigates contested and divisive memories of conflicts, world wars, dictatorship, genocide and mass killing. Focusing on the questions of transculturality and reception, the book looks at the ways in which such memories are being shared, debated and received by museum workers, artists, politicians and general audiences. Due to amplified mobility and comm
