This paper presents a method to grasp objects that cannot be picked directly from a table, using a soft, underactuated hand. These grasps are achieved by dragging the object to the edge of a table, and grasping it from the protruding part, performing so-called slide-to-edge grasps. This type of approach, which uses the environment to facilitate the grasp, is named Environmental Constraint Exploita
Two-Higgs-doublet models (2HDMs) with a flavored U(1)′ gauge symmetry are a popular extension to the Standard Model (SM), yet they currently lack a complete survey. In this paper, we present a full classification of anomaly-free 2HDMs within the SM fermion content, resulting in a total of 11 distinct models. Four of these are relatively well studied, while the rest either partially, or entirely, l
We combine droplet epitaxy with low-energy electron microscopy imaging techniques to map the surface phase diagram of GaAs(001). The phase patterns produced in droplet epitaxy are interpreted using a simple model which links the spatial coordinates of phase boundaries to the free energy. It is thereby possible to gain important information on surface phase stability, based on the observed sequenti
Personalized medicine requires the integration and processing of vast amounts of data. Here, we propose a solution to this challenge that is based on constructing Digital Twins. These are high-resolution models of individual patients that are computationally treated with thousands of drugs to find the drug that is optimal for the patient.
Photosynthetic antenna systems enable organisms harvesting light and transfer the energy to the photosynthetic reaction centre, where the conversion to chemical energy takes place. One of the most complex antenna systems, the chlorosome, found in the photosynthetic green sulfur bacterium Chlorobaculum (Cba.) tepidum contains a baseplate, which is a scaffolding super-structure, formed by the protei
The deep financial crisis of today has created an interest in the financial catastrophes of yesterday. LarsJonung, Research Adviser at DG ECFIN, asks: is the present crisis a rerun of those of the past?
Background: The dGEMRIC (delayed Gadolinium-Enhanced MRI of Cartilage) technique has been used in numerous studies for quantitative in vivo evaluation of the relative glycosaminoglycan (GAG) content in cartilage. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of pre-contrast T1 and cartilage thickness when assessing knee joint cartilage quality with dGEMRIC. Methods: Cartilage thickness
Syftet med denna studie är att belysa sambandet mellan den ekono- miska tillväxten och det finansiella systemet. Här behandlas följande centrala fråga: Påverkas tillväxttakten av den finansiella sektorn eller är det tillväxten som driver utvecklingen av det finansiella systemet? Studien, som vilar på en granskning av internationella forsknings- resultat från främst 1990-talet, omfattar en statisti
Histamine is known to be present in ovarian tissue and may play a role in the ovulation process. The effect of histamine on the follicular smooth musculature was investigated using strips from the protruding part of mature bovine follicles, mounted in vitro for registration of isometric motor activity. Histamine contracted the preparation in a concentration-dependent manner. The response was inhib
Svenska politiker ”mörkar” när det gäller frågan om vad vi faktiskt betalar i skatt. Det handlar om ett demokratiskt informationsunderskott som inte är värdigt ett samhälle som gör anspråk på öppenhet i det offentliga samtalet. Nu måste beslut fattas om att alla lönebesked redovisar såväl totallön, löneskatt och löneavgifter, som bruttolön, inkomstskatt och nettolön. Fiffiga finansministrar har hi
There is limited research on indoor air quality in the Middle East. In this study, concentrations and size distributions of indoor particles were measured in eight Jordanian dwellings during the winter and summer. Supplemental measurements of selected gaseous pollutants were also conducted. Indoor cooking, heating via the combustion of natural gas and kerosene, and tobacco/shisha smoking were asso
