Geospatial information is indispensable for various real-world applications and is thus a prominent part of today’s data science landscape. Geospatial data is primarily maintained and disseminated through spatial data infrastructures (SDIs). However, current SDIs are facing challenges in terms of data integration and semantic heterogeneity because of their partially siloed data organization. In th

Avhandlingsarbetet studerar hur turbulent flödesstruktur sammverkar med förbränning av högoktaniga bränslen i partiellt förblandade förhållanden genom numeriska tredimensionella flödessimuleringar. Förbränningsmoder och antändningsprocesser studeras för två olika typfall där ett flertal metoder testas med ändamålet att korrekt återge hur icke upplöst rörelsemängd växelverkar med de kemiska processThis work treats the modelling of PPC engine combustion through 3D computational fluid dynamics. In order to develop a cost-effective CFD model for the design and performance analysis of PPC engines it is important to first understand the multiple modes of combustion in PPC engines, e.g., the onset of the first ignition kernels, the propagation of the ignition/flame fronts, and the effect of charg

Partially premixed combustion (PPC) is one of several advanced combustion concepts for the conventional diesel engine. PPC uses a separation between end of fuel injection and start of combustion, also called ignition dwell, to increase the mixing of fuel and oxidizer. This has been shown to be beneficial for simultaneously reducing harmful emissions and fuel consumption. The ignition dwell can be

Purpose: Comorbidity in stroke is common, but comprehensive reports are sparse. We describe prevalence of comorbidity and the prognostic impact on mortality and functional outcome in a large national ischemic stroke cohort. Methods: We used outcome data from a long-term follow-up survey conducted in 2016 by the Swedish Stroke Register (Riksstroke). Those included in the study were 11 775 pre-strok

Objective - T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain (Tim) proteins are expressed by numerous immune cells, recognize phosphatidylserine on apoptotic cells, and function as costimulators or coinhibitors. Tim-1 is expressed by activated T cells but is also found on dendritic cells and B cells. Tim-4, present on macrophages and dendritic cells, plays a critical role in apoptotic cell clearance, regula

Syftet var att undersöka arbetsplatsrelationer som resurser för hälsa och välbefinnande från ett salutogent perspektiv. Antalet äldre människor ökar i befolkningen och äldreomsorgen har redan en ansträngd arbetsbörda, varför det är angeläget att ägna mer uppmärksamhet åt de salutogena aspekterna för arbetstagarna inom äldreomsorgen. Studierna utfördes inom en kommunal vård- och omsorgsorganisation

Stars formed in clusters can encounter other stars at close distances. In typical open clusters in the Solar neighbourhood containing hundreds or thousands of member stars, 10-20 per cent of Solar-mass member stars are expected to encounter another star at distances closer than 100 au. These close encounters strongly perturb the planetary systems, directly causing ejection of planets or their capt

Changes in the immune system induced by tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) have been shown to positively correlate with therapy responses in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). However, only a few longitudinal studies exist and no randomized comparisons between two TKIs have been reported. Therefore, we prospectively analyzed the immune system of newly diagnosed CML patients treated with imatinib (n = 2

Strategies to determine the removal efficiency of micropollutants in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are widely discussed. Especially the evaluation of the potential benefit of further advanced treatment steps such as an additional tertiary treatment based on ozonation or activated carbon have come into focus. Such evaluation strategies are often based on the removal behavior of known micropol

BackgroundMany countries and regions undergo structural changes that intent to improve the effectiveness and quality of care. Until 2007, the municipalities, counties, hospitals and pharmacies shared the smoking cessation activities almost equally in Denmark. Among others, the Danish Healthcare Reform 2007 intended to add responsibility for smoking cessation intervention at county level to the mun

Some authors argue that we have a moral obligation to leave Mars the way it is, even if it does not harbour any life. This claim is usually based on an assumption that Mars has intrinsic value. The problem with this concept is that different authors use it differently. In this chapter, I investigate different ways in which an uninhabited Mars is said to have intrinsic value. First, I investigate w

OBJECTIVES: Hazardous drinking could negatively affect health and lead to alcohol use disorders, but it is unclear how hazardous drinking affects treatment outcomes of depression and anxiety and stress-related mental health problems. The aim of this study was to examine whether hazardous drinking, measured by Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test-Consumption (AUDIT-C), influences the outcomes

Madelung A, Bzorek M, Bondo H, Zetterberg E, Bjerrum O W, Hasselbalch H C, Scheding S & Ralfkiaer E (2012) Histopathology A novel immunohistochemical sequential multi-labelling and erasing technique enables epitope characterization of bone marrow pericytes in primary myelofibrosis Aim: In Philadelphia (Ph)-negative chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms, increased microvascular density, bizarre

Although the direction of loads applied to the proximal human femur is unpredictable during sideways fall, most in vitro and numerical simulations refer to a single loading condition (15° internal rotation; 10° adduction), which has been anecdotally suggested in the 1950s. The aim of the present study was to improve in vitro simulations of sideways falls on the proximal femur. An in vitro setup w
