We establish support and resistance levels from data in intraday currency exchange market activity based on machine learning methods. Specifically we design two semi-supervised classification neural networks. The first one is based on a variant of the K-means method while the second is based on a Gaussian mixture model with expectation maximisation. Each performs classification from tick data on v
The Hemse Group is one of the least understood stratigraphic units of the Silurian sequence of Gotland, Sweden. New results from airborne transient electromagnetic (ATEM) measurements in combination with previously published data from field studies and geophysical investigations shed new light on carbonate platform development during the early- to mid-Ludlow Hemse Group. ATEM reveals a transgressi
Background. Pernicious anemia (PA) is an autoimmune disease (AID) which is caused by lack of vitamin B12 (cobalamin) due to its impaired uptake. PA is a multifactorial disease which is associated with a number of other AID comorbidities and which is manifested as part of autoimmune polyglandular syndrome. Due to the shortage of family studies on PA, we planned to address the problem by assessing f
Background: Finn Chambers AQUA (FCA) is a development of the Finn Chambers (FC) test system in which the test chambers are mounted on a moisture-resistant adhesive patch. FCA has pre-fixed filter papers. Because the use of FCA does not require any extra taping or use of separate filter papers, a change from FC to FCA chambers may be beneficial for both patients and patch-test technicians. Objectiv
In the present work, the laminar burning velocities of the NH3+N2O+air flames were measured using the heat flux method at 1 atm and 298 K, with varied equivalence ratios and N2O mixing ratios. For the mixing ratio N2O/(N2O+air) = 0.5, a full range of equivalence ratios was covered. Moreover, at three equivalence ratios an extended range of mixing ratios was investigated. The laminar burning veloci
The monoamines, serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine and histamine, play a critical role in the function of the hypothalamic- pituitary-adrenal axis and in the integration of information in sensory, limbic, and motor systems. The primary mechanism for termination of monoaminergic neurotransmission is through reuptake of released neurotransmitter by Na+,CI-dependent plasma membrane tran
Research on sustainability transitions has expanded rapidly in the last ten years, diversified in terms of topics and geographical applications, and deepened with respect to theories and methods. This article provides an extensive review and an updated research agenda for the field, classified into nine main themes: understanding transitions; power, agency and politics; governing transitions; civi
The institution of science is said to be under pressure from political, economic and social interests, manifested in alleged bureaucratization, managerial reforms, anti-intellectual movements on university campuses, and widespread questioning of expert knowledge in society. Commercialization of academic publishing and the growth of competitive funding have increased the importance of journal and g
BACKGROUND: Epidemiological evidence indicates that diets rich in plant foods are associated with a lower risk of ischaemic heart disease (IHD), but there is sparse information on fruit and vegetable subtypes and sources of dietary fibre. This study examined the associations of major plant foods, their subtypes and dietary fibre with risk of IHD in the European Prospective Investigation into Cance
The article focuses on the entanglement between the EU’s attempts to construct its external actions in global politics and research on the EU as a global actor. The article argues that both the development of EU external actions and the sociology of knowledge production surrounding the analysis of these actions suffer from unnecessary dichotomisation. Advocates and analysts of the EU’s normative p
Aim: To test whether diabetes genetic risk modifies the association of successful lifestyle changes with incident diabetes. Materials and methods: We studied 823 individuals randomized to the intensive lifestyle intervention (ILS) arm of the Diabetes Prevention Programme who were diabetes-free 1 year after enrolment. We tested additive and multiplicative interactions of a 67-variant diabetes genet
n this paper, we introduce a constraint programming-based approach for the optimization of area and of reconfiguration time for communication networks for a class of regular 2D reconfigurable processor array architectures. For a given set of different algorithms the execution of which is supposed to be switched upon request at run-time, we provide static solutions for the optimal routing of data b
Two studies conducted in Sweden tested predictions from the intersectional invisibility hypothesis for groups at the intersection of gender and sexual orientation. Results show that gender prototypes include an assumed heterosexual orientation, and that representations of sexual minority groups include a more complex interplay of gender and sexual orientation.
