The importance of structural demands is usually overlooked in the conceptual design phase. Architects commonly conceive the geometry of a structure without much involvement of an engineer or with regards to structural demands. This is in part because a lack of tools available to engineers in this phase. The common paradigm for structural analysis software interface badly with the iterative and cha
When experience is insufficient or not present at all, making decisions becomes difficult. Capability assessments are tools to inform decisions in all situations regarding risk management, but the use of them in Sweden is discussed. With experiments made in the microworld MikroRisk, conclusions can be made about the investment patterns induced by a capability assessment under the conditions of bot
To control an accelerating proton beam that travels close to the speed of light, a large number of beam diagnostic instruments are needed. One of the instruments that will be used at the accelerator of the European Spallation Source is a Non-invasive Profile Monitor (NPM). Once installed, this system will measure the transverse beam profile by imaging the fluorescent gas induced by the accelerated
Cow horn has been a craftig material in Europe for 1000s of years. Yet, in the last 100 years the material has disappeard from our pool of commonly used materials. Today it is mostly used for dogfood and gelatine. I believe that horn could again become a commonly used crafting material, especially for modern and sustainable products. Among my many visions for horn, I see it as a beautiful, natu
Italy is using drones to monitor migrants crossing the Mediterranean Sea. This is partially done through a contract with Leonardo S.p.A – one of the largest arms traders in the world – under which the company undertakes to operate drones in the area on behalf of the state. Meanwhile, Italy has withdrawn its naval assets and is hindering non-governmental organisations from carrying out search-and-r
A p-compact group, as defined by Dwyer and Wilkerson, is a purely homotopically defined p-local analog of a compact Lie group. It has long been the hope, and later the conjecture, that these objects should have a classification similar to the classification of compact Lie groups. In this paper we finish the proof of this conjecture, for p an odd prime, proving that there is a one-to-one correspond
In this paper it is argued that the restructuring following the stiffer competition stemming from increased global integration will trigger a race between countries to attract inward foreign direct investment (FDI). It is further argued that this race consists of last minute efforts and tailor-made packages designed by governments and their agencies to temporarily improve their country's otherwise
The construction of the European Spoliation Source (ESS) faces many challenges from the neutron beam transport point of view: the spoliation source is specified as being driven by a 5 MW beam of protons, each with 2 GeV energy, and yet the requirements in instrument background suppression relative to measured signal vary between 10(-6) and 10(-8). The energetic particles, particularly above 20 MeV
We present a summary of the commissioning and performance of the vacuum system of a 500-MeV booster synchrotron recently built at LNLS as part of a new injector for the LNLS light source. The main vacuum parameters of the synchrotron are pressure below 5×10-7Pa (lifetime of 1-2 hours), no in-situ baking, no cooling system, and a short recovery time after ventilation. All parts of the system are ma
This concert featured the world premiere of new music for serpent from the composers Orlando Bass, Henrik Denerin, Athena Corcoran-Tadd, and Jesse Ronneau (the latter also with live electronics). The concert opened with a performance of a 17th-century work from Girolamo Frescobaldi with Orlando Bass on harpsichord. There was also a visual presentation, illustrating the history of the serpent and b
Studio recordings of new music for serpent from the composers Orlando Bass, Henrik Denerin, Athena Corcoran-Tadd, and Jesse Ronneau, recorded at the Inter Arts Center (Malmö) on 8-10 February 2025.
BACKGROUND: The advent of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors has revolutionized lung cancer treatment, necessitating accurate PD-L1 immunohistochemical (IHC) assessment. While standardized for formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) histological samples, PD-L1 testing on cytology remains challenging. This review aims to address the complexities of PD-L1 IHC in cytology, focusing on validation guidelines, quali
Background: Norm values for patient reported outcomes, that is knowledge about how the general population of women rate their breast-related satisfaction and quality of life, are necessary to interpret the meaning of scores. The aims of this study were to create Swedish normative values for the BREAST-Q reduction/mastopexy module and to describe what healthy women are most satisfied/dissatisfied w
The optical design for the proposed Euro50 extremely large telescopewith integrated adaptive optics (AO) is presented. For atmosphericturbulence correction, we propose using single and dual-conjugate AOsystems working with natural and laser guide stars. The corrective shapeof the deformable mirrors (DMs) is derived from an analytical algorithmbased on minimization of the sum of the residual power
The detection of spectral line profile variability for stars of the HgMnclass of chemical peculiarity has been poorly documented in theliterature yet holds a special significance for understandingrelationships between observed spectral anomalies, stellar surfacestructure, and magnetic fields. The HgMn stars have until now not beenconfirmed to vary in their light or spectral characteristics in ways
A simulation model for embedding the bias of a transistor is presented. The model exploits the simulator equilibrium point calculation to set the bias point of the transistor. The model uses negative feedback to set the bias point according to what the designer desires. When the simulator goes into its main analyses, the negative feedback is broken and embedded bias sources are added. This way it
