The need for energy in water provision and use is obvious, however the drivers are often complex, difficult to assess, and often inconsistently presented. Here we build a clearer definition and conceptual framework of “water-related energy”. We apply this framework to harmonise data and results across disparate studies so that regional estimates of water-related energy can be compared in a consist
We consider the problem of grid-forming control of power converters in low-inertia power systems. Starting from an average-switch three-phase power converter model, we draw parallels to a synchronous machine (SM) model and propose a novel converter control strategy which dwells upon the main characteristic of a SM: the presence of an internal rotating magnetic field. In particular, we augment the
Background: Widespread implementation of Alzheimer's disease biomarkers in routine clinical practice requires the establishment of standard operating procedures for pre-analytical handling of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Methods: Here, CSF collection and storage protocols were optimized for measurements of β-amyloid (Aβ). We investigated the effects of (1) storage temperature, (2) storage time, (3)
In this paper we address the problem of resource allocation for alarm traffic in industrial Internet of Things networks using massive MIMO. We formulate the general problem of how to allocate pilot signals to alarm traffic such that delivery is guaranteed, while also minimising the number of pilots reserved for alarms, thus maximising the channel resources available for other traffic, such as indu
Use of residual-state decay γ-rays could be a powerful tool in the study of photonuclear reactions. The practicality of this technique in a tagged-photon experiment is demonstrated for the first time with data on the 12 C(γ, p) reaction.
Sjukhusvistelser hos ett barn kan påverka hela familjen psykosocialt och praktiskt och många familjer föredrar vård i hemmet framför vård på sjukhus. Samtidigt varierar modeller för organisation, finansiering och genomförande av sjukvård i hemmet nationellt och internationellt och det kan vara svårt att överföra kunskap mellan länder och organisationer. Kunskapen om vad som är viktigt för att ge v
A free port for art is a location in a country with purpose-built art facilities where imported works of art may be stored without taxes such as value added tax (VAT), goods and services tax (GST), consumption tax, transaction taxes and customs duties. As long as the art does not leave the free port, such taxes are not imposed, hence the word “free”. These free ports could be regarded as special t
The importance of user-centric design methods in the design of programming tools is now well accepted. These methods depend on creating a feedback loop between the designers and their users, providing data about developers, their needs and behaviour gathered through various means. These include controlled experiments, field observations, as well as analytical frameworks. However, whilst there have
Introduction: Multimodal neurological prognostication is recommended for comatose patients after cardiac arrest. The absence of cortical N20-potentials in a somatosensory evoked potential (SSEP) examination reliably predicts poor outcome, but presence of N20-potentials have limited prognostic value. A benign routine electroencephalogram (EEG) may identify patients with a favourable prognosis who a
The idea of ‘sustainability as a real utopia’ elaborated on here builds on sociologist Erik Olin Wright’s emancipatory social science and is a heuristic for interdisciplinary research on emancipatory alternatives that move society towards achieving sustainability. Starting from the proposition that socially relevant environmental problems are rooted in how social structures and institutions intera
In Landau theory of Fermi liquids, the particle-hole interaction near the Fermi energy in different spin-isospin channels is probed in terms of an expansion over the Legendre polynomials. This provides a useful and efficient way to constrain properties of nuclear energy density functionals in symmetric nuclear matter and finite nuclei. In this study, we present general expressions for Landau param
A charging infrastructure of electric vehicles is important in order to make the transition from fossil fuels to electricity. There are multiple charging methods, one of which is to use an Electric Road System (ERS)as a static charger. The connection between an ERS and a vehicle is automatic and gives an advantage over other systems which require a human to connect a plug. The focus of the study p
Databases with variant and phenotype information are essential for advancing research and improving the health and welfare of individuals. These resources require data to be collected, curated, and shared among relevant specialties to maximize impact. The increasing generation of data which must be shared both nationally and globally for maximal effect presents important ethical and privacy concer
Standing genetic variation represents a genetic load on population fitness but can also support a rapid response to short-term environmental change, and the greatest potential source of such standing genetic variation typically exists among locally adapted populations living along an environmental gradient. Here, we develop a spatially explicit simulation model to quantify the contribution of exis
This article presents two learning processes in order to explain how children at an early age can transform a complex sensory input to concepts and categories. The first process constructs the perceptual structures that emerge in children’s cognitive development by detecting invariants in the sensory input. The invariant structures involve a reduction in dimensionality of the sensory information.
