A search for dark matter (DM) particles produced in association with a hadronically decaying vector boson is performed using pp collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of s=13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb−1, recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. This analysis improves on previous searches for processes with hadronic decays of W and Z bosons in a

We report measurements of the production of prompt D0, D+, D*+ and Ds + mesons in Pb–Pb collisions at the centre-of-mass energy per nucleon-nucleon pair sNN=5.02 TeV, in the centrality classes 0–10%, 30–50% and 60–80%. The D-meson production yields are measured at mid-rapidity (|y| < 0.5) as a function of transverse momentum (pT). The pT intervals covered in central collisions are: 1 < pT< 50 GeV/

In both the Geographic Information (Geo) and Building Information Modelling (BIM) domains, it is widely acknowledged that the integration of data from both domains is beneficial and a crucial step in facing the multi-disciplinary challenges of our built environment. The result of this integration - which can broadly be termed GeoBIM -could answer questions such as identifying an appropriate Heatin

In networked control systems it is desirable to have efficient wireless communication (saving energy and bandwidth) while still ensuring good control performance. By abandoning periodic sampling, communication can be made more efficient by sampling and updating the control signal only "when required" based on the system’s behaviour. This is the concept of event-based control. In this work we consi

Children displaying early disruptive behaviour problems (DBP) in school are at risk for severe long-term problems. This study evaluated and compared a systemic school-based intervention, Marte Meo and Coordination meetings (MAC) with service as usual (SAU) in a randomised controlled trial. The teachers’ and parents’ ratings were collected before and after intervention. Target group were children a

The need for digital building information is increasing, both in the form of 3D city models (as geodata) and of more detailed building information models (BIM). BIM models are mainly used in the architecture, engineering and construction industry, but have recently become interesting also for municipalities. The overall aim of this paper is to study one way of dividing a building, namely the divis

An important question for video game research is how to characterize the video game experience. One common view emphasizes that players are cognitively able to operate with the game world as the experiential point of reference leading to states of "immersion, "spatial presence", or "engagement". A different view is that the player is also embodied and situated in the actual world, entailing that t

A thermodynamically consistent model for porous cellulose networks is proposed. A general theory is developed based on mixture theory using chemical potentials as flow potentials. The material is decomposed into three phases, solid, liquid and gas, where the solid and gas phases are further separated into dry fiber and fiber water, water vapor and dry air, respectively. Between the phases interfac

Purpose: Diabetic retinopathy is the most common eye complication in patients with diabetes. The purpose of this study is to identify genetic factors contributing to severe diabetic retinopathy. Methods: A genome-wide association approach was applied. In the Genetics of Diabetes Audit and Research in Tayside Scotland (GoDARTS) datasets, cases of severe diabetic retinopathy were defined as type 2 d

Across the Arctic, the net ecosystem carbon (C) balance of tundra ecosystems is highly uncertain due to substantial temporal variability of C fluxes and to landscape heterogeneity. We modeled both carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) fluxes for the dominant land cover types in a ~100-km2 sub-Arctic tundra region in northeast European Russia for the period of 2006–2015 using process-based biogeoc

Nurses around the world have described family-centred care (FCC) in various ways. With limited evidence regarding its implementation and with dissent among professionals regarding outcomes that are amorphously defined across age groups, systems and global settings, a group of children’s nursing experts from around the world collaborated to seek clarification of the terms, deconstruct the elements

Mutated proteins arising from somatic mutations in tumors are promising targets for cancer immunotherapy. They represent true tumor-specific antigens (TSAs) as they are exclusively expressed in tumors, reduce the risk of autoimmunity and are more likely to overcome tolerance compared to wild-type (wt) sequences. Hence, we designed a panel of long peptides (LPs, 28–35 aa) comprising driver gene mut

PurposeTo develop a method for retrospective artifact elimination of MRS data. This retrospective method was based on an approach that combines jackknife analyses with the correlation of spectral windows, and therefore termed “JKC.”MethodsTwelve healthy volunteers performed 3 separate measurement protocols using a 3T MR system. One protocol consisted of 2 cerebellar MEGA‐PRESS measurements: 1 refe

Avbildning med hjälp av magnetresonans (MR) är en teknik som används i klinisk diagnostik för att upptäcka och karakterisera en rad sjukdomstillstånd. Metoden baseras på en kombination av statiskt magnetfält, magnetfältsgradienter och pulsade radiofrekventa elektromagnetiska fält i en magnetkamera för avbildning av form och struktur (morfologi) samt vissa funktioner hos olika organ i kroppen.DiffuMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful medical imaging technique, used to detect and characterise a range of diseases and conditions. It is based on the use of a strong static magnetic field in combination with magnetic field gradients and pulsed radiofrequency electromagnetic fields to visualise various organs and structures in the body according to their morphology or function.Diffusion

Isosorbide is a stiff bicyclic diol derived from glycose-based polysaccharides, and is thus an attractive building block for novel rigid bioplastics. In the present work a highly regioselective biocatalytic approach for the synthesis of isosorbide 5-methacrylate was developed. The Lipozyme RM IM (Rhizomucor miehei lipase) catalyzed process is straightforward, easily scalable and chromatography-fre

Public procurement for innovation (PPI) is a powerful, underutilized demand-side innovation policy instrument. How this instrument can contribute to meeting societal challenges, which require goaloriented transformation of socio-technical systems, remains unclear and is explored in this article. This article draws on the transitions and PPI literature to propose transformative processes to which P

The estimation of dynamic panel data models with interactive effects and moving average errors is considered. This is accomplished by making an extension to the factor analytical (FA) estimator which was originally designed for dynamic panels with fixed effects only and serially uncorrelated errors. The results show that the additional allowances have no effect on the asymptotic properties of the
