This paper presents a novel on-line approach of merging multiple different predictors of plasma glucose into a single optimized prediction. Various different predictors are merged by recursive weighting into a single prediction using regularized optimization. The approach is evaluated on 12 data sets of type I diabetes data, using three parallel predictors. The performance of the combined predicti

During recent years the nuclear decay modes of discrete prompt proton and alpha-particle emission from deformed or superdeformed high-spin states have been discovered in nuclei in the vicinity of doubly-magic Ni-56. The particle decays may be viewed as self-regulated two-dimensional quantum tunnelling processes. Due to the decay the remaining nuclear mean-field potential is rearranged dramatically

Empirical findings indicate a need of support for environmental management within the manufacturing industry for improving the environmental performance of their production systems. This paper elaborates on a generic, three step visualization tool, here called Green Performance Map (GPM). The GPM adds to the framework of ISO 14001, providing the user with a systematic procedure to visualize enviro

A brief popular article, in Danish, about how researchers on socialist countries had to rethink their research projects after 1989, including the transition from socialist societies to postsocialist to now, post post socialist societies

Ontologies, formal knowledge representation, and reasoning are technologies that have begun to gain substantial interest in recent years. We present a high-level declarative approach to writing application programs for specific ontologies, based on viewing the ontology as a domain-specific language.Our approach is based on declarative meta-compilation techniques. We have implemented a tool using t

The L3, or sponge, phase is a thermodynamically stable isotropic liquid consisting of a surfactant membrane in aqueous solution. A solvent induced L3 phase is shown in systems of solvent, monoolein and water. Dimethyl sulfoxide, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, ethanol, N-methyl-alfa-pyrrolidone and 2-methyl-2,4-pentanediol are solvents of varying hydrophilicity but are all miscible with bot

One of the main objectives of this series is to explore the relationship between Islam, nationalism and citizenship in its diverse expressions. The series intends to provide a space for approaches that recognize the potential of Islam to permeate and inspire national forms of identification, and systems of government as well as its capacity to inspire oppositional politics, alternative modes of be

Background: Software quality issues are commonly reported when off shoring software development. Value-based software engineering addresses this by ensuring key stakeholders have a common understanding of quality. Aim: This work seeks to understand the levels of alignment between key stakeholders on aspects of software quality for two products developed as part of an offshore in sourcing arrangeme

Describes evolution of 'anticorruptionism' and the anticorruption 'industry' in which 'industry' is seen in contrast to local social movements 'craft'. Previously published in the journal Global Crime

This paper presents an approach to derivate the Time of Arrival (TOA) power density function (PDF) and its application in geometry-based statistical channel models for urban environments. The cluster PDF derived can be used to simulate temporal dispersion of the multipath signal grouped in clusters in a variety of urban propagation conditions to quantify second order statistics, i.e., delay spread

Fuel economy and emissions are the two central parameters in heavy duty engines. High EGR rates combined with turbocharging has been identified as a promising way to increase the maximum load and efficiency of heavy duty spark ignition engines. With stoichiometric conditions a three way catalyst can be used which keeps the regulated emissions at very low levels. The Lambda window which results in
