The European Spallation Source (ESS) is a research facility under construction aiming to be the world’s most powerful pulsed neutron source. It is powered by a complex particle accelerator designed to provide a 2.86 ms long proton pulse at 2 GeV with a repetition rate of 14 Hz. Commissioning of the first part of the accelerator has begun and the requirements on the control system interfaces varies
The European Spallation Source (ESS) is a research facility under construction aiming to be the world’s most powerful pulsed neutron source. It is powered by a complex particle accelerator designed to provide a 2.86 ms long proton pulse at 2 GeV with a repetition rate of 14 Hz. Protons are accelerated via cavity fields through various accelerating structures that are powered by Radio-Frequency (RF
Electrical storm (ES) presents a difficult management problem that has predominantly been described in adults and there are limited published data relating to children. We set out to characterize ES in children to assist management based on published literature and own institutional experience. We retrospectively analyzed the records of children presenting with ES to our institution between July 2
Recent research has brought to the fore vital discussions about the logics andassumptions used to evaluate the significance and effectiveness of leadershipdevelopment programs and practices (Vongswasdi et al., 2023). In this chapter,we extend these discussions by reviewing research that considers the logics andassumptions—especially the assumptions about gender and leadership—thatfunction to frame
Kawasaki disease is an important differential diagnosis when evaluating prolonged fever in childhood. Although the aetiology of this vasculitic disease process remains obscure, prompt recognition and treatment significantly reduces vascular complications such as coronary artery aneurysms. Patients presenting with atypical or incomplete diagnostic features remain a challenge. Here the authors descr
This study offers novel insights into how team structure and flexibility affect pivoting. It details how founding team coordination practices shape individual and collective sensemaking of feedback and efforts to improve a venture idea. Following seven founding teams, we identified how teams with overlapping responsibilities enjoyed the flexibility of both fragmented and holistic sensemaking. This
The European Spallation Source is currently under construction in Lund, Sweden. Consisting of a linear accelerator delivering an unprecedented 5 MW proton beam to the spallation source, i.e. a rotating Tungsten disk, it will deliver high-flux neutron beams to multiple beamlines at which scientific experiments will be conducted in many scientific disciplines.To simulate the proton beam and for crea
The evolutionary biologist Julian Huxley (1887–1975) attempted to promote a “religion for the future,” which he would come to refer to as Transhumanism. Transhumanism was an attempt to unite a more traditional humanistic view of the human as containing some form of core essence or potential with an evolutionary point of view of humans as a work in progress. Before humans, natural selection had bee
The environmental impact from shipping is driven by the combustion of fossil fuel. It has great potential to be reduced by use of structures in lightweight fibre reinforced polymer composite instead of steel. This has not been possible for ships regulated under SOLAS, since assessment of fire safety of such a fundamental change is complex. The purpose of this thesis has been to provide for the ass
Detailed longitudinal dynamics simulations may be used to predict the energy performance of road vehicles. However, including uncertainty in the operating conditions often implies high computational costs. Model-based formulations, in conjunction with statistical methods, may obviate this limitation by directly accounting for stochasticity, thus eliminating the need for simulating large population
