Today, engineered nanomaterials are frequently used. Nanosized titanium dioxide (TiO2) has been extensively used for many years and graphene is one type of emerging nanomaterial. Occupational airborne exposures to engineered nanomaterials are important to ensure safe workplaces and to extend the information needed for complete risk assessments. The main aim of this study was to characterize workpl
Background: The most profound effect of vasopressin on the kidney is to increase water reabsorption through V2-receptor (V2R) stimulation, but there are also data suggesting effects on calcium transport. To address this issue, we have established an isolated perfused kidney model with accurate pressure control, to directly study the effects of V2R stimulation on kidney function, isolated from syst
Odd-frequency (odd−ω) electron pair correlations naturally appear at the interface between BCS superconductors and other materials. The detection of odd−ω pairs, which are necessarily nonlocal in time, is still an open problem. The main reason is that they do not contribute to static measurements described by time-local correlation functions. Therefore, dynamical measurements, which depend on nonl
Q-design is a powerful method for designing approximately optimal LTI controllers and assessing the achievable control performance. Unfortunately, numerical issues are often encountered in Q-design which limits its applicability. This paper warns about two numerical pitfalls in Q-design when using H 2 costs and Laguerre-type basis functions.
Elastic and scalable compute resources are a fundamental part of cloud computing. Efficient management of cloud resources is crucial in order to provide high quality services and applications. In this work we present a novel method for scaling cloud resources and provide stability guarantees. We do this by leveraging ideas and concepts from classic control theory, namely mid-range control and combElastic and scalable compute resources are a fundamental part of cloud computing.

Studies of degrowth in tourism have shed light on the phenomenon of lifestyle entrepreneurship, often highlighting these businesses as examples of alternative, non-growth oriented production. This chapter focuses on two examples of lifestyle oriented animal-based tourism in Sweden: horse-related tourism and hunting tourism. It is argued that these enterprises are engaged in decommodification pract
We present two preregistered replications of the paper by Wang and Griskevicius (2014), which reported that women flaunt luxury products to signal their partners' devotion, thereby guarding their relationships from rivals. In Study 1, which was a conceptual replication with real luxury brands, we did not observe an effect of luxury products on partner devotion but found that women assumed that mal
