The shift toward battery electric vehicles (EVs) represents the most profound disruption in the automotive industry in over a century, with far-reaching consequences for European automotive regions. For decades, incremental improvements in internal combustion engine (ICE) technologies have served as the dominant decarbonization pathway, and many regions have built strong innovation systems around
Although Global Digital Elevation Models (GDEMs) are widely used, their spatial error distributions over extensive regions remain insufficiently understood. Using ICESat-2 Reference Control Points (RCPs) (~ 30 points/km²), this paper not only evaluates GDEMs with point-based metrics such as Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Mean Error (ME), but also proposes a novel raster-independent Spatial Erro
This article examines forced migrants’ decision-making over time on movement from first country of asylum. Building on 150 in-depth interviews with Syrian refugees (A note on terminology: the term refugee is used colloquially by our participants, other scholars, the legal profession, and international actors to denote most Syrian migrants, yet it often means different things to its users. While ma
This study presents the first measurement of the f1(1285) resonance using the ALICE detector in inelastic proton–proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The resonance is reconstructed at midrapidity (|y|< 0.5) through the hadronic decay channel f1(1285)→KS0K±π∓. Key measurements include the determination of its mass, transverse-momentum integrated yield, and average transverse mome
This study examines disaster risk perception and communication in Albania, focusing on two districts in the cities of Tirana and Fier and the villages of Novosela and Dajç, all affected by severe flooding in recent years. The research highlights how dimensions of national culture - particularly fatalism and attachment to home and hearth - interact with contextual, psychological, and demographic ch
Despite growing emphasis on home-based rehabilitation following stroke, there remains limited understanding of how to effectively tailor services to individual needs. This study employed concept mapping to explore diverse stakeholder perspectives on adapting home-based rehabilitation to better support the recovery process after stroke. Through this mixed-methods participatory approach, we engaged
Modern solid-state klystron modulators generate high-voltage, high-power pulses by discharging energy stored in a capacitor bank. Such modulators require at least one capacitor charging unit supplying the energy released in pulsing. Traditional capacitor charging structures rely on AC/DC front-end units based on passive diode rectifiers in conjunction with high-frequency resonant converters. Howev
To generate the required antiproton beam intensity for the FAIR PANDA experiment, a dedicated proton LINAC (pLINAC) for the FAIR accelerator chain is being constructed. Klystron modulators are power converters within the high-power RF system of the pLINAC. Here, seven modulator systems with a nominal pulse power amplitude of 115 kV / 54 A, an effective pulse width of 360 µs and a pulse repetition
Humanitarian aid has long been characterized as a top-down, centrally driven enterprise. Recently, this has begun to change through the broad concept of localization, which commonly describes the empowerment of national and local actors. This chapter showcases the range of localization views within humanitarian aid, focusing on terminology, various definitions and three main interpretations. It al
Many real-world systems generate multivariate time series data, often exhibiting self-similarity and scale-invariance across different modalities. The estimation of Hurst exponents in such settings is crucial for analyzing long-range dependencies. Yet, traditional eigenanalysis-based methods suffer from scale-dependent distortions, particularly in the presence of scaling amplitude discrepancies. I
BACKGROUND: Fever is associated with brain injury after cardiac arrest. It is unknown whether fever management with a feedback-controlled device impacts patient-centered outcomes in cardiac arrest patients. This trial aims to investigate fever management with or without a temperature control device after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. METHODS: The TEMP-CARE trial is part of the 2 × 2 × 2 factoria
The first measurements of proton emission accompanied by neutron emission in the electromagnetic dissociation (EMD) of Pb208 nuclei in the ALICE experiment at the Large Hadron Collider are presented. The EMD protons and neutrons emitted at very forward rapidities are detected by the proton and neutron zero degree calorimeters of the ALICE experiment. The emission cross sections of zero, one, two,
We consider the problem of reconstructing the sound field in a room using prior information of the boundary geometry, represented as a point cloud. In general, when no boundary information is available, an accurate sound field reconstruction over a large spatial region and at high frequencies requires numerous microphone measurements. On the other hand, if all geometrical and acoustical aspects of
A measurement of off-shell Higgs boson production in the H∗ → ZZ → 4ℓ decay channel is presented. The measurement uses 140 fb−1 of proton–proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider and supersedes the previous result in this decay channel using the same dataset. The data analysis is performed using a neural simulation-based inference method, which
Hydrogen transfer reactions hold pivotal importance in organic synthesis by enabling selective bond formation, achieving redox-neutral transformations, and advancing sustainable methodologies. However, designing efficient catalytic systems for such reactions under mild conditions persists as a fundamental challenge in green chemistry. In this study, we present a controllable synthesis of defective
Background: In patients resuscitated after cardiac arrest, a higher mean arterial pressure (MAP) may increase cerebral perfusion and attenuate hypoxic brain injury. Here we present the protocol of the mean arterial pressure after cardiac arrest and resuscitation (MAP-CARE) trial aiming to investigate the influence of MAP targets on patient outcomes. Methods: MAP-CARE is one component of the Sedati
The reassignment technique is used to increase localization for signal components in the time-frequency representation. The technique gives perfect localization for linear chirp signals and constant frequency signals. Despite the recent interest in using the reassignment technique to determine phase-shifts, no general expression of cross-spectrogram reassignment vectors exists. This submission aim
The instability of perovskite interfaces caused by interfacial defects and heterojunction evolution hinders the realization of long-term stable inverse perovskite solar cells (IPSCs). This work reports a strategy for the study of heterojunction evolution, the effects of buried interface and carrier dynamics on the stability of perovskite films and devices in 2D/3D heterojunctions. The emphasis is
