We present a novel method for the determination of density and compressibility of individual particles and cells undergoing microchannel acoustophoresis in an arbitrary 2D acoustic field. Our method is a critical advancement within acoustophoretic separation of biological cells, as the ability to determine the density and compressibility of individual cells enables the prediction and alteration of

Electric road systems (ERS) are technologies that allow to charge electric vehicles (EVs) while they are driving. This makes it possible to reduce the installed battery capacity and therefore the weight and cost of the vehicle. However, while the vehicle is charging from the ERS a protective earth connection cannot be ensured, which introduces new isolation challenges in the design of the electric

We present a method based on passive spectroscopy with aim to remotely study flying birds. A compact spectrometer is continuously recording spectra of a small section of the sky, waiting for birds to obscure part of the field-of-view when they pass the field in flight. In such situations the total light intensity received through the telescope, looking straight up, will change very rapidly as comp

Summary form only given. In this paper, we examine the effect of block size on the performance of trellis based quantization. In particular, the Viterbi and tailbiting BCJR algorithms are compared. It is shown that for short blocks of data, the T-BCJR algorithm achieves a superior performance over the Viterbi algorithm (VA). One approach is to use the maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) heurist

The purpose was to study age related changes in circulatory system via Ballistocardiography (BCG) by utilizing Electromechanical Film (EMFi) sensors by gradually changing the ambient temperature from a thermoneutral area to cold direction. ECG and BCG were recorded from a young person (23 years) and from an older person (78 years), both males. During the tests, brachium blood pressure (BP) and pul

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vårt mål var att förstå och fördjupa kunskapen om de mekanismer som kontrollerar värme- och masstransport vid stekning av djupfrysta hamburgare. Avhandlingen redovisar bl. a. hur olika faktorer som val av köttråvara, sönderdelningen av köttet, diametern på hamburgaren och tillagningstemperatur bestämmer värme- och massöverföring i hamburgaren under tillagning. TemperatuThe aim of the present work was to gain better understanding of the mechanisms controlling heat and mass transfer during thermal processing of beefburgers. The effects of different factors such as the chemical composition and comminution of the meat raw material, the pan temperature and the meat patty diameter on the characteristics of heat and mass transfer were studied. The evolution of the char

The attractiveness of cycling-and in particular of bike-sharing systems-as a sustainable alternative of transportation is constantly growing, given the undeniable benefits associated with it. The aim of this paper is to present a multi-objective model based on a Fuzzy Inference System to be embedded in a mobile application that could assist cyclists in the selection of the smartest route to follow

As researchers we are often faced with the difficult and demanding task of preparing models, and their computer implementations, for decision making, or, more recently, for integrated assessment. Such assessment often involves large scale problems, where the decisions to be made can deeply affect the environment, the social context and the economic background of regions and even nations. Yet, we f

BACKGROUND: There are important unmet clinical needs to develop cell enrichment technologies to enable unbiased label-free isolation of both single cell and clusters of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) manifesting heterogeneous lineage specificity. Here, we report a pilot study based on the microfluidic acoustophoresis enrichment of CTCs using the CellSearch CTC assay as a reference modality.METHODS

Purpose Patients' understanding of their illness is key for making informed treatment decisions, yet studies suggest an association between prognostic awareness and worse quality of life (QOL) and mood among patients with advanced cancer. We sought to explore the relationships among prognostic awareness, coping, QOL, and mood in patients with newly diagnosed, incurable cancer. Methods We assessed

4MOST is a new high-multiplex, wide-field spectroscopic survey facility under construction for ESO's 4m-VISTA telescope at Paranal, Chile. Its key specifications are: a large field of view of 4.4 square degrees, a high multiplex fibre positioner based on the tilting spine principle that positions 2436 science fibres in the focal surface of which 1624 fibres go to two low-resolution optical spectro

Syfte: Utvärdera kvaliteten och läsbarheten för svenska hemsidor med information för vuxna med hörselnedsättning. Metod: De två sökorden hörselnedsättning och hörapparater, skrevs in i den mest använda sökmotorn i Sverige under januari 2016, Google. Därefter valdes de 20 första relevanta hemsidorna av varje sökord, det vill säga sammanlagt 40 hemsidor. Dubbletterna togs bort och totalt utvärderadeAim: Evaluating the quality and readability of Swedish websites with information for adults with hearing loss. Method: Two keywords hearing loss and hearing aids, were entered in Google (the most used search engine in Sweden, January 2016).The first 20 relevant websites were elected of each keyword, making a total of 40 websites. Removing duplicates resulted in 29 websites that were assessed. Eval

In one way, international adoptees stands with one foot in each country. Their looks might make them look like they belong on the other side of the globe, but in manners, language, taste of music and interests they may be exactly like ethnical Swedish kids. Many adoptees experience that they don’t get looked at as swedes, because their appearance isn’t typical Swedish. This essay addressing if, an

Syfte: Att utveckla och validera ett kliniskt användbart frågeformulär för utvärdering av effekten av en kurs i Aktiv Kommunikation (AK). Metod: Ett frågeformulär utvecklades och reviderades utifrån kommentarer sprungna ur granskning genomförd av en grupp tidigare kursdeltagare och av ett antal kursledare i Aktiv Kommunikation. Formuläret fylldes sedan i av 61 andra, tidigare kursdeltagare. Ytterl

10 000kalenderyears ago the first people wandered over the ice and onto Öland. Since then the vegeta-tion of Öland have been exposed to anthropogenic change and impact. During the Iron Age the population of Öland increases greatly due to strong connections to Rome. This time is commonly referred to as ”Ölands guldålder”. An increased population brought about an increase in land use which in turn b
