Modelica has in its language support for describing discontinuities; so-called events. Modern integrating environments; like Assimulo; provide elaborated event detection and event handling methods. In addition; the overall performance of a simulation of models with discontinuities (hybrid models) depends strongly on methods for restarting integration after event detection. The presented paper revi

Hospital-based home care (HBHC) is widely applied in Pediatric Oncology. We reviewed the potential effect of HBHC on children's physical health and risk of adverse events, parental and child satisfaction, quality of life of children and their parents, and costs. A search of PubMed, CINAHL, and EMBASE led to identification of five studies that met the inclusion criteria. All sample sizes were small

COVID-19 is associated with myocardial injury caused by ischemia, inflammation, or myocarditis. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is the noninvasive reference standard for cardiac function, structure, and tissue composition. CMR is a potentially valuable diagnostic tool in patients with COVID-19 presenting with myocardial injury and evidence of cardiac dysfunction. Although COVID-19-related

We demonstrate that the wettability of cosmetic grade, silica-coated titanium dioxide nanoparticles may be tuned by simply soaking them in a cyclic silicone oil. This allows for tuning the type of emulsion that they stabilize, from oil-in-water to water-in-oil. By analyzing the sedimentation of water-in-oil emulsions, the effect of the soaking time (wettability) on drop size and drop-drop interact

Context: Familial clustering of a disease is an indicator of a possible heritable cause. In the era of genome scans, the consideration of data on heritability should be important in the assessment of the likely success of the scans. Object: The objective of the study was to carry out a family study on nonthyroid endocrine diseases to search familial clustering of these diseases beyond the known sy

AIM: Injections administered by patients are one of the mainstays of diabetes management. Proper injection technique is vital to avoiding intramuscular injections, ensuring appropriate delivery to the subcutaneous tissues and avoiding common complications such as lipohypertrophy. Yet few formal guidelines have been published summarizing all that is known about best practice. We propose new injecti

We propose four different estimators that take into account the autocorrelation structure when reconciling forecasts in a temporal hierarchy. Combining forecasts from multiple temporal aggregation levels exploits information differences and mitigates model uncertainty, while reconciliation ensures a unified prediction that supports aligned decisions at different horizons. In previous studies, weig

This thesis presents methods for improving machining with industrial robots using control, with focus on increasing positioning accuracy and controlling feed rate. The strong process forces arising during high-speed machining operations, combined with the limited stiffness of industrial robots, have hampered the usage of industrial robots in high-end machining tasks. However, since such manipulato
