Patterns of future climate and expected extreme conditions are pushing design limits as recognition of climate change and its implication for the built environment increases. There are a number of ways of estimating future climate projections and creating weather files. Obtaining adequate representation of long-term patterns of climate change and extreme conditions is, however, challenging. This w

The nucleation and growth of pores in PU foams have been visualized and quantified for the first time in 4D using in-situ tomographic microscopy. Acquiring sequences of 3D images in 156 ms each, we describe homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation and subsequent bubble growth dynamics for materials with and without nucleating nanoparticles. Exploiting the time resolved tomographic sequences we obt

Measurements of the yield and nuclear modification factor, RAA, for inclusive jet production are performed using 0.49 nb−1 of Pb+Pb data at sNN=5.02TeV and 25 pb−1 of Pb+Pb data at s=5.02TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Jets are reconstructed with the anti-kt algorithm with radius parameter R=0.4 and are measured over the transverse momentum range of 40–1000 GeV in six rapidity intervals co

When the leading Roman magistrates of the Republic, and later on the Roman emperors, made official appearances in connection with important political and military events and functions, some urban locations in the cityscape became symbolically charged, in Rome especially Forum Romanum, Capitolium and the city gates. The ceremonial acting in front of the assembled public was dependent on measures ad

Boken ger inblick i Stiftelsens roll för svensk amerikansk mobilitet inom utbildning och forskning, med start 1919 .

Essän bygger på flera års forskning om kulturarvsskapande bland nordiska emigranter i USA. Författarens skriver i egenskap av Sverige-Amerikastiftelsens alumna och delger sina erfarenheter av högre studier och forskning inom kulturarvsområdet i USA och Sverige.

Low cholesterol levels have been correlated with both suicidal and aggressive behavior in psychiatric patients. Few studies have investigated associations between serum lipid profiles and both aggressive state and trait. Fifty-two psychiatric medication-free inpatients were included in this study after a suicide attempt. Composite scores of “State Aggression” and “Trait Aggression” were calculated

This chapter re-evaluates the relationships among elite women and the triumph in the Republic and early Empire (509 BCE–47 CE), demonstrating that during the Republic female relatives of triumphal generals were associated with and integrated into the triumph via the triumphal chariot, ancestor masks, funerals, and names, and that these associations continued and grew in the early Empire to encompa

Background: High-grade osteosarcoma is a primary malignant bone tumour mainly affecting children and young adults. The European and American Osteosarcoma Study (EURAMOS)-1 is a collaboration of four study groups aiming to improve outcomes of this rare disease by facilitating randomised controlled trials. Methods: Patients eligible for EURAMOS-1 were aged ≤40 years with M0 or M1 skeletal high-grade

UV vision is prevalent, but we know little about its utility in common general tasks, as in resolving habitat structure. Here we visualize vegetated habitats using a multispectral camera with channels mimicking bird photoreceptor sensitivities across the UV-visible spectrum. We find that the contrast between upper and lower leaf surfaces is higher in a UV channel than in any visible channel, and t

The field of radial turbines is wide and radial turbines of today find applications in areas as diverse as small gas turbines; turbochargers for cars, buses, and trucks, railway locomotives, and diesel power generators; cryogenic and process expanders; rocket engine turbopumps; and specialty steam turbines.
