Clinical pathological diagnosis and prognosis for cancer is often confounded by spatial tissue heterogeneity. This study investigates the utility of entropy as a robust quantitative metric of spatial disorder within Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) chemical images of breast cancer tissue. The use of entropy is grounded in its capacity to encapsulate the complexities of pixel-wise spectral intensi
Making music with digital tools might be considered common knowledge in music education. However, there are vast numbers of music teachers who feel insecure when it comes to actually using it as a prominent tool for music making in their classrooms. The objective of this workshop is to show how students of different ages together with their music teachers create, produce and perform music by EDI.
Herein is reported an efficient catalytic system for the direct synthesis of styrene carbonate from styrene and CO2. The preparation and characterization of the catalyst using FTIR, TEM, EDX, XPS, and PXRD is presented. The catalyst comprised of nano-silver modified polyoxometalates (Agx/POM) and n-tetra butyl ammonium bromide (TBAB) was employed in the oxidative carboxylation of styrene with CO2
Environmental loads, such as wind and river flow, play an essential role in the structural design and structural assessment of long-span bridges. Climate change and extreme climatic events are threats to the reliability and safety of the transport network. This has led to a growing demand for digital twin models to investigate the resilience of bridges under extreme climate conditions. Kalix bridg
Popular Abstract in Swedish Mjölk anses som det enda flytande livsmedlet som på naturlig väg innehåller de tre fundamentala byggstenarna, fett, protein och kolhydrater, vilket definierar ett livsmedel näringsmässigt. Majoriteten av världens vuxna befolkning är dock tvungen att ha en begränsad konsumtion av mjölk då toleransen för dess kolhydrat, laktos, minskar med vuxen ålder. Detta beror främst This thesis deals with the fermentation characteristics of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in oat-based suspensions, with formulation work of fermented products based on oat and with nutritional studies of these products. Changes in structure in terms of viscosity and ropiness were studied when exopolysaccharide (EPS)-producing LAB strains, namely, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus NCFB 2772,
Our existing urban environment has a significant potential to increase the use of renewable energy, mainly by using solar irradiation for heat and electricity. Quantification of the solar potential by means of a solar map is the first step in the acceleration process for using more solar energy in our urban environments. A solar map is a GIS system providing the annual solar irradiation on buildin
The paper provides an overview and preliminary results from ongoing research with the aim to evolve cross-laminated timber (CLT) into the next generation of Tailored Laminated Timber (TLT). This is done by exploring innovative concepts that optimize the mechanical performance, while simultaneously ensuring adherence to circular economy principles. The current study aims at investigating the potent
Science, technology and innovation (STI) are widely perceived as critical factors for sustainable development. The 2030 Agenda defined STI as the central means of sustainable development. The Sustainable Development Goal 17 has three targets that focus on technology transfer, and the United Nations Technology Facilitation Mechanism was launched to promote multi-stakeholder collaboration. While STI
This study delves into the landscape of health applications within online markets. These applications, offering health-related functionalities, have become integral to the lives of European citizens. The transformation of healthcare delivery, accelerated by the pace of modern life and accentuated by the COVID-19 pandemic, has elevated health applications from conveniences to essential tools capabl
BACKGROUND: A synthetic oxytocin analogue, barusiban, was shown to potently inhibit oxytocin-induced activity of myometrium from term pregnant women. The responsiveness to vasopressin was not influenced by the compound. OBJECTIVE: To test the effect of barusiban and a reference compound, atosiban, on oxytocin-induced activity of myometrium from women at preterm pregnancy in comparison to myometriu
This study aimed to find out how the insulation of the footwear changes over one week of use. A thermal foot model with 8 measuring zones and 5 “sweat glands” was used for tests. A thin sock was donned on the model to allow better water distribution all over the foot surface. Four boots were tested over a period of 5 days. Each day was divided into 9 hour measurement period and 15 hour conditionin
Popular Abstract in Swedish Målet med kollektivtrafik är bl a att anordna transportförsörjning för alla samhällsgrupper på ett samhällsekonomiskt effektivt vis. En grupp medborgare är rullstolsburna resenärer, vars speciella förutsättningar ställer särskilda krav på transportsystemets utformning. För att utröna dessa speciella förutsättningar på ett ansvarsfullt sätt, är det viktigt att man anläggEliciting wheelchair-seated passengers’ perspective of safety and comfort is both useful and mandatory, particularly for researchers, clinicians, transit authorities, and for operators during purchase and use of vehicle technologies in existing and planned future transport systems. Therefore, the overarching objective of this thesis was to delineate the question of safety and comfort as perceived
Infrared laser-induced grating spectroscopy (IR-LIGS) is a powerful method for the detection of molecules in atmospheric and combustion chemistry by exploiting their strong and species-specific fundamental vibrations. This work discusses potentials and limitations of the method.
