We study the complexity of the dynamic partial sum problem in the cell-probe model. We give the model access to nondeterministic queries and prove that the problem remains hard. We give the model access to the right answer +/-1 as an oracle and prove that the problem remains hard. This suggests which kind of information is hard to maintain. From these results, we derive a number of lower bounds fo
Objective Incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is higher in men than in women. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the gender differential can be modified by pharmacological intervention in a population-based setting. Design and method In a prospective population-based cohort - the Malmo Diet and Cancer study - a total of 3608 hypertensives (1559 men, 2049 women), 45-73 years old
Recent marsupials include about 280 species divided into 18 families and seven orders. Approximately 200 species live in Australia/New Guinea. The remaining species inhabit South America with some of these secondarily ranging into North America. In this study, we examine marsupial relationships and estimate their divergences times using complete mitochondrial (mt) genomes. The sampling, which incl
Results from large scale, ab initio MCHF calculations are presented for the transition properties of the 3s2 3p2(3)P(J-)e{3s3p3, 3s2 3p3d, 3s2 3p4s} 5S2o and 3P2o intercombination and resonance lines in P II. The agreement with experiment is good, the systematic approach shows convergence and the agreement between different forms of the oscillator strength is excellent for the resonance lines.
The application of a quinoprotein glucose dehydrogenase modified thick-film sensor as label detector in a capillary immunoassay (CIA) for xenoestrogens is presented. The detection of the alkylphenols and their ethoxylates is based on the competition between the analyte and tracer molecules for the binding sites of anti-alkylphenol ethoxylate antibodies. This assay is performed off-line in small di
Lifetime measurements have been made for the radiation emitted in the ground term transitions of the nominal form 5s(2)5p(6)5d(x)6s-5s(2)5p(6)5d(x)6p in Ta II (x = 3), W II (x = 4), and Re II (x = 5). Supporting theoretical calculations have also been performed to characterize configuration interaction and to estimate the degree of decay branching of the upper levels. The lifetime measurements hav
A flow-through microdispenser has been coupled to a micro HPLC separation system and used as a solvent elimination interface for Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopic detection of the separated compounds. Using the microdispenser picoliter sized droplets can be generated and deposited on an appropriate target placed on a computerized x, y-stage. Evaporation of volatile solvent
The European Spallation Source (ESS) has launched a project called HighNESS, with the task of investigating the potential of adding a second moderator system to the facility, with ortho-deuterium (o-D2) being the main material of interest. Another moderator material which could be of interest is hydrogen deuteride (HD). The purpose of this second moderator system would be to provide a high intensi
Permanent magnet synchronous motors or PMSMs are commonly used in multiple applications, both in industry and commercial use. These motors have many pros when compared to other electrical machines but do present the issue of torque ripple, especially cogging torque. One field that is particularly affected by this is industrial robotics applications as the control structures implemented and the phy
Owing to the intensive computation involved in the Discrete Cosine Transform during image com- pression, the design of the efficient hardware architectures for fast computation of the transform has become imperative, especially for real-time applications. Although fast computation techniques have been able to minimise the hardware computation complexity to a certain limit, they could further exten
Bakgrund: Anestesisjuksköterskor arbetar i en högteknologisk miljö med mycket engångsmaterial av plast. Anestesislangar som används är av plast och ofta avsedda för engångsbruk. Enligt ICN:s etiska kod ska alla sjuksköterskor arbeta för FN:s globala mål för hållbar utveckling, att minska plastanvändningen är en central fråga. Syfte: Studiens syfte var att undersöka anestesisjuksköterskans uppfat
In this master’s thesis we propose a DensePose-based person re-identification (re-ID) machine learning algorithm building upon previous research on this topic. DensePose, a deep neural network that performs human body part segmentation on images, forms the foundation of our approach. We investigate whether utilization of DensePose can enhance performance on re-ID algorithms with the utilization of
Aseptic packaging solutions enable long time storage without refrigeration and are an important part of securing food supply globally. The package material consists of multiple layers: A paperboard for robustness, polymers for adhesion as well as shielding the board from liquid, and a barrier protecting the product. This thesis consists of two parts regarding in-plane wetting into the paperboard.
Wide-angle distance measurements are needed for positioning with multilateration when there is no information about in which direction objects of interest are located. Several transmitters of varying kinds were evaluated in a data-driven way using a 6 DOF robot actuator. A wide-angle (±98 degrees) distance measurement system us- ing ultrasound was developed. The resulting solution was integrated i
In this study, design of low-order feedforward controllers from both reference signal and measurable disturbance for proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controllers is considered. The feedforward controllers from reference are equivalent to the use of a PID controller with set-point weighting. The design problem is formulated as a convex optimisation problem and then solved for a batch of proce
