Sport-related concussion (SRC) is a serious injury in youth team sports, including handball. While research on the prevention of SRC has made progress over the past 5 years, prevention strategies are lacking in handball. The aim was to explore and develop strategies focusing on information, rules and training that may prevent concussion in youth handball by incorporating knowledge from experts and
BACKGROUND: Partial nitritation-anammox (PNA) is a biological nitrogen removal process commonly used in wastewater treatment plants for the treatment of warm and nitrogen-rich sludge liquor from anaerobic digestion, often referred to as sidestream wastewater. In these systems, biofilms are frequently used to retain biomass with aerobic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and anammox bacteria, which t
High-fidelity numerical simulations of partial differential equations (PDEs) given a restricted computational budget can significantly limit the number of parameter configurations considered and/or time window evaluated. Multi-fidelity surrogate modelling aims to leverage less accurate, lower-fidelity models that are computationally inexpensive in order to enhance predictive accuracy when high-fid
Uncertainty quantification (UQ) tasks, such as sensitivity analysis and parameter estimation, entail a huge computational complexity when dealing with input-output maps involving the solution of nonlinear differential problems, because of the need to query expensive numerical solvers repeatedly. Projection-based reduced order models (ROMs), such as the Galerkin-reduced basis (RB) method, have been
A data-driven method combined with the formulations of boundary integral equations is developed for the frequency-domain analysis of parametrized acoustic systems, arising from the spatial discretization of the linear Helmholtz equation. The method derives surrogate models for the approximation of frequency response functions at selected field points via the construction of neural networks with ra
MAX IV is a fourth generation synchrotron facility at Lund, Sweden. It is composed of a full energy linear accelerator and two storage rings with 1.5 GeV and 3 GeV, which requires hundreds of beam position monitors. In this context, Libera Single Pass E and Libera Brilliance+ are employed as BPM instruments. This paper will present an overview of the control system suite used in the facility, incl
Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) plays an important role in beyond 5G systems to support high data rate and low latency, especially operating at millimeter-wave frequency bands. In traditional software-based simulators, the simulation time increases exponentially with the number of base station antennas and served users. We propose a hardware-in-loop simulator that combines the flexib
The existence of postglacial faults (PGFs) in northern Fennoscandia was first documented in Finland in the last century. Subsequently, over a dozen large PGFs have been observed in Finland, Sweden and Norway. PGFs have been investigated through geophysical methods, trenching and mapping of brittle deformation structures. No direct measurements of the age of faulting exist, although relative ages w
This paper presents a high-speed comparator which employs a novel regeneration latch to enhance the comparison process. The regeneration stage employs an innovative mechanism that reduces the RC constant at the output while avoiding static power consumption. Furthermore, the proposed comparator is capable of operating seamlessly with a rail-to-rail input common-mode voltage. This is made possible
The MAX IV Laboratory, inaugurated in 2016, hosts a 3 GeV ultra-low emittance storage ring, a 1.5 GeV storage ring and a linear accelerator driven Short Pulse Facility to deliver synchrotron radiation to scientific users. A Stability Task Force has been assigned to ensure the delivery of stable beams since early on in the design phase of the laboratory and is continuing its work in an ongoing and
This paper proposes a wireless and stretchable sensor which uses an oscillator with an inductively coupled resonator. By delving into the malleable nature of these cutting-edge electronics, we determine the most effective circuit parameters to optimize signal behavior for specific applications. The findings showed that the simulated frequency shift sensitivity to variations in sensor resistance in
This study presents the analysis of Upper Triassic sediments from five locations in North Dobrogea (Romania) and the Black Sea. Microfacies analyses on thin sections from the Frecăţei log reveal a shallowing trend and likely an increase in energy upward into the section. The oldest part of the log is characterised by deposition of mudstones transitioning to wackestones, wit
