VIRTUAL PRESSURE SENSOR BASED ON ION CURRENT MEASUREMENTS USING ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS

In-cylinder pressure measurements serve as the gold standard for combustion diagnostics in Internal Combustion Engines. However, the associated costs render it unfeasible to equip engines with in-cylinder pressure sensors. For spark-ignited engines, using the more affordable in-cylinder ion current measurements as an alternative to the traditional pressure sensors has shown promising results for c

The Five Senses in Classical Science and Ethics

Sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch: that the senses should be enumerated in this way is not self-evident. The number and order of the senses are fixed by custom and tradition, not by nature. The regular order being subject to occasional change proves its arbitrariness. Therefore, we can describe the enumeration of the five senses as an artificial series of natural elements.

MNS and Duffy Blood Group Systems

The MNS blood group system antigens (M, N, S, s, U, and other high- and low-frequency antigens) are carried on glycophorins A and B, or hybrid proteins thereof. Antibodies to these antigens can be clinically significant, especially anti-S, anti-s, and anti-U. The Duffy blood group system antigens (Fya, Fyb, Fy3) are carried on the atypical chemokine receptor 1 (ACKR1). Antibodies to the Duffy anti

Baler - Machine Learning Based Compression of Scientific Data

A common and growing issue in scientific research and industry is that of storing and sharing ever-increasing datasets. In this paper we document the development and applications of Baler - a Machine Learning based tool for tailored compression of data across multiple disciplines.

Bunkers Revisited : Co-producing Memory, Meaning and Materiality in Danish Cold War Museums

The Cold War shaped the Danish landscape and cityscape profoundly. Numerous bunkers, military and civilian remain today as testimonies of a time where fear of a nuclear Third World War was imminent. This chapter delves into “the bunker” as materiality and myth, drawing inspiration from bunker studies from a broad range of fields including history, geography and architecture. Subsequently, this cha

Mortality among individuals with substance use disorder—does violent criminal behavior have an impact?

Introduction: Understanding violent criminality and its impact on health and eventually the risk of premature mortality is important for efficient future interventions. This study aimed to explore the effect violent criminality had on premature mortality (i.e., death before the age of 65) among individuals with substance use disorders (SUDs). Methods: The cohort was created by identifying all Swed

Recommendations for stable isotope analysis of charred archaeological crop remians

Stable isotope analysis of plant remains recovered from archaeological sites is becoming more routine. There remains a lack of consensus, however, on how to appropriately select archaeological plant remains for isotopic analysis, how to account for differences in preservation and the effect of potential contamination, and how to interpret the measured isotope values in terms of the conditions in wStable isotope analysis of plant remains recovered from archaeological sites is becoming more routine.

The LISA project : opportunities and challenges of recycling automotive heat exchangers

A modern vehicle typically has up to ten different heat exchangers, ensuring prolonged technology life, improved performance, and passenger comfort. Heat exchangers for automotive applications are made of multilayer-clad brazed aluminium. They are mature products, having been used in passenger and commercial internal combustion engine vehicles for decades, and their use will continue in electrifie

Gepants

Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) was suggested to play an important role in primary headaches as far back as 1985 and has been confirmed as playing a significant role in migraine pathophysiology. CGRP receptor antagonists are becoming more and more important for treatment of acute migraine attacks and for prophylaxis of episodic and chronic migraine. The development of drugs that bind CGRP o

Can the internet based intervention 'strategies for empowering activities in everyday life' support people with cognitive difficulties to self-manage digital work and everyday life?

Background: Digital work can be cognitively challenging especially for people with cognitive difficulties. New occupational therapy interventions are needed to empower these persons to self-manage challenges in digital work and everyday life. To address this need, the internet-based intervention 'Strategies for Empowering Activities in Everyday Life' (SEE 2.0) was tested.Aim: To explore and descri

Evaluation of a portable OSL/IRSL reader for radiation dose assessment of NaCl pellets – In situ individualised screening during R/N emergencies

Household salt, Sodium Chloride (NaCl), has been suggested as an appropriate material for retrospective and prospective optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) radiation dosimetry. The current paper investigates the potential application of NaCl pellets during a radiological and/or nuclear emergency, together with an existing portable reader, for application as a novel tool for in situ screening o

Kalman filter soft sensor to handle signal quality loss in closed-loop controlled anesthesia

Background and objective:This study aims to enhance the performance of a closed-loop anesthetic depth control system by fusing noise-corrupted clinical measurements with a non-perfect pharmacological model.Methods:We implement a Kalman filter to constitute a trade-off between model prediction and measurement signal dependence for depth of hypnosis (DoH) control using a previously evaluated PID con

Semiconductor nanowires and sub-micrometer platelets for nitride-based nano-LED applications

Nano-LEDs, with sizes smaller than 1 μm and close to sub-wavelengths, have received increasing attention because of their potential applications in next-generation self-emissive displays, visible light communication, optogenetics, maskless lithography, on-chip super-resolution microscopy, etc. In contrast to the top-down fabrication of nano-LEDs, where the efficiency drop caused by dry-etching rel

An exploratory study of teachers’ supportive communication during interactive book reading in the classroom

This study examines teachers’ use of evidence-based language learn­ing techniques in the classroom and possible impact on student ­engagement. Video recordings of nine primary school teachers conducting interactive book reading with their students were analyzed both according to the Communication Supporting Classroom Obser­vation Tool-Language Learning Interactions (CSCOT-LLI) and descriptively.

DNA methylation in cord blood partially mediates the effects of prepregnancy BMI on early childhood offspring BMI

OBJECTIVE: We investigated whether prepregnancy BMI (prePregBMI) in women with obesity was associated with differential DNA methylation (DNAm) in cord blood (CB) and whether DNAm may mediate the association of prePregBMI and early childhood BMI z score (BMIz).METHODS: From the Treatment of Obese Pregnant Women (TOP) study, 232 mother-child pairs were included. We conducted an epigenome-wide associ

Impact of excess sugar on the whole genome DNA methylation pattern in human sperm

AIMS, PATIENTS & METHODS: Dietary factors may regulate the epigenome. We aimed to explore whether a diet intervention, including excess sugar, affects the methylome in human sperm, and to describe the sperm methylome. We used Whole Genome Bisulfite Sequencing (WGBS) to analyze DNA methylation in sperm taken at three time points from 15 males during a diet intervention; i) at baseline, ii) afte

Closing the loop without reinventing the wheel : public procurement for innovation promoting a circular economy

This theoretical paper adopts a procedural perspective to identify the challenges associated with the implementation of the full scope of approaches to circular public procurement (CPP). We contend that beyond considering CPP from a substantive standpoint (i.e. the procurement affects outside of the organization), adopting a procedural perspective (i.e. the procurement affects inside an organizati

A current view on the phenotypic antibiotic resistance of leading pathogens in wounded patients during the war in Ukraine

Background and aim: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of antibacterial drugs through cluster analysis of antibiotic sensitivity data from clinical isolates of Acinetobacter and Pseudomonas spp., obtained from soft tissue wounds and burn injuries. Methods: The cohort included 76 clinical isolates of Acinetobacter and Pseudomonas spp. obtained from 141 patients (male – 95,
