This paper draws upon an extensive transdisciplinary scenario development in the context of the stakeholder oriented preparation of the climate protection plan of the German federal state North Rhine-Westphalia, which is home to the most important heavy industry cluster in Europe. In that context we developed differentiated bottom up climate change mitigation strategies and scenarios for the major

In the ActivAbles and STARR projects we have developed interactive training tools for stroke survivors. A prototype system includes an interactive balance foam pad, feedback lamps and a step counting game app which all connect to a central server. The feedback is designed to be inclusive - designs are multimodal, and the setup is flexible and can easily be adapted. We describe the system and repor

High throughput in particle and molecular sorting schemes is an important performance indicator and can be realized through increased volumetric processing rates or increased concentrations. Here we investigate the effect of increased concentration of high-molecular weight DNA in micropillar arrays for deterministic lateral displacement (DLD). We find that the array imposes regular fluctuations in

Deterministic Lateral Displacement (DLD) is a passive technique employed for particles sorting. We recently introduced a DLD device composed of arrayed three-dimensional metal-covered pillars that can be used to locally apply an electric field. With our system we can exploit the dielectrophoretic (DEP) effect to exert forces on the bioparticles to be sorted, thus dynamically tuning the critical si

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

Recent research has identified the grasslands of the Sahel as a potential carbon sink, but regional carbon stock accounting in such biomes is undermined by the poorly recognized role they play in the carbon cycle as well as lack of data. In this paper, we demonstrate the feasibility of coupling the satellite data-driven light use efficiency model (Lund University Light Use Efficiency Model - LULUE

Corrosion of cables can result in brittle and unexpected failures and represents a critical concern for prestressed concrete bridges with post-tensioned (PT) tendons. In these structures, corrosion is typically facilitated by inadequate grout injection and/or the use of poor-quality mortar during construction. Such deficiencies create favorable conditions for corrosion initiation and propagation.

While Datalog provides a high-level language for expressing static program analyses, it depends on external tooling to extract the input facts from the analyzed programs. To remove this dependency, we present MetaDL. The MetaDL system consists of a Datalog language extension for source-level program analysis and tools for generating the language extension from a description of the analyzed languag

Soundscape management in a city implies mitigating harmful sounds and promoting useful ones, according to their environmental, social or cultural significance and considering a more human centered paradigm. The Soundscape approach does not consider sound as a waste but a resource and its application may reach more benefits than solely noise control actions. This conception conveys an emerging para

The requirements on increasing functionality, quality, and, customisation, while reducing cost has lead to the introduction of an architecture centred development process for electronic systems at Volvo Cars. This process enables better control of system integration and achieving non-functional requirements, such as reusability, understandability, etc. The result of the process is a reference arch

We present an advanced approach for single-cell analysis of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) by integrating an acoustofluidic chip for sample preparation, including simultaneous acoustophoretic separation and enrichment of the separated cells, onto an electroactive microwell array (EMA) for single-cell arraying. The integrated device shows highly efficient cell recovery of target cells (82.5%) and d

We have created devices that are extremely simple to fabricate, function without pumps, are reusable and capable of dealing with very large differences in particle sizes without clogging. Our new approach to microfluidic particle sorting is precise enough for applications in blood fractionation, cancer cell sorting, parasite detection and sample decomplexing in general. We achieve this using Deter

We present, for the first time, separation of three different prostate cancer cell lines from leukocyte fractions by means of continuous flow acoustophoresis. This flow-through separation approach, which utilize acoustophoretic forces to extract CTCs from blood has a significant advantage over affinity based methods in the sense that it comprises a non-contact and label free separation of CTCs fro

We have built an array of vertical nanotubes connected by a subsurface nanofluidic channel. The nanotube system is to be used for cell injections. By culturing cells on top of the nanotubes the cells will be pierced and molecules can enter the cells via the subsurface channel. Several channels can be made on the same sample and different molecules can be injected into different subpopulations of c

High-power operation of conventional GaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is severely limited by current crowding, which increases the bias voltage of the LED, concentrates light emission close to the p-type contact edge, and aggravates the efficiency droop. Fabricating LEDs on thick n-GaN substrates alleviates current crowding but requires the use of expensive bulk GaN substrates and fairly lar

The Differentiated Services (DiffServ) Architecture, a Quality of Service (QoS) solution being worked on by an IETF work group, is aimed to solve the increasing problems with no service guarantees in the current Internet. New services such as video-on-demand and IP-telephony will be unusable without some sort of service guarantees on which to build applications on. A replacement architecture for t
