We present measurements of the elliptic (v2), triangular (v3) and quadrangular (v4) anisotropic azimuthal flow over a wide range of pseudorapidities (−3.5<η<5). The measurements are performed with Pb–Pb collisions at sNN=2.76 TeV using the ALICE detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The flow harmonics are obtained using two- and four-particle correlations from nine different centrality inte
Background: Atypical lipomatous tumor (ALT), well differentiated liposarcoma (WDLS) and dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLS) are cytogenetically characterized by near-diploid karyotypes with no or few other aberrations than supernumerary ring or giant marker chromosomes, although DDLS tend to have somewhat more complex rearrangements. In contrast, pleomorphic liposarcomas (PLS) have highly aberrant
Aims/hypothesis: During the A/H1N1 2009 (A/California/04/2009) pandemic, mass vaccination with a squalene-containing vaccine, Pandemrix®, was performed in Sweden and Finland. The vaccination was found to cause narcolepsy in children and young adults with the HLA-DQ 6.2 haplotype. The aim of this study was to investigate if exposure to Pandemrix® similarly increased the risk of islet autoimmunity o
We report the results of a new measurement of spin structure functions of the deuteron in the region of moderate momentum transfer [Q2=0.27–1.3(GeV/c)2] and final hadronic state mass in the nucleon resonance region (W=1.08–2.0GeV). We scattered a 2.5 GeV polarized continuous electron beam at Jefferson Lab off a dynamically polarized cryogenic solid state target (15ND3) and detected the scattered e
Several new tools to obtain three-dimensional information from unorganized image sets are now available for the public use. The main advantage of this software, which is based on dense stereo matching, is the possibility to generate 3D content without the need of high-cost hardware (e.g. 3D scanning devices). Nevertheless, their use in real-world application domains (like cultural heritage) is st
We measure the capacity of multiple-input multiple- output radio systems in microcellular environments.We use a new data evaluation method that allows to evaluate the cumulative distribution function of the capacity from a single measurement. This method is based on an extraction of the parameters of the multipath components and, thereafter, a synthetic variation of their phases. In the analyzed e
Two different approaches for developing virtual environments (VE) for brain injury rehabilitation are described and discussed. The two VEs are built with the VR software World Up in the form of virtual vending and automatic service machines. The result from the first approach is a virtual cash dispenser that has been tested on five patients with brain injury. Improving the VE according to the test
On small isolated islands, natural selection is expected to reduce the dispersal capacity of organisms, as short distances do not require a high rate of dispersal, which might lead to accidental emigration from the population. In addition, individuals foregoing the high cost of maintaining flight capacity may instead allocate resources to other functions. However, in butterflies and many other ins
Intermittent fog occurrences supply significant amounts of moisture to plants in the form of fog drip onto the soil surface thereby prompting interest in their statistical behavior at multiple timescales. A comparison of rainfall and fog measurements collected at an inland tropical cloud forest in Kenya and a coastal rangeland in Northern California is presented to explore whether fog occurrences
Understanding nanoparticle catalysis requires novel approaches in which adjoining crystal orientations can be studied under the same reactive conditions. Here we use a curved palladium crystal and near-ambient pressure X-ray photoemission spectroscopy to characterize chemical species during the catalytic oxidation of CO in a whole set of surfaces vicinal to the (111) direction simultaneously. By s
This paper presents a solution to the problem of pose estimation in the presence of heavy radial distortion and a potentially large number of outliers. The main contribution is an algorithm that solves for radial distortion, focal length and camera pose using a minimal set of four point correspondences between 3D world points and image points. We use a RANSAC loop to find a set of inliers and an i
Two modeling approaches for a multi-cylinder cardboard dryer were compared with respect to fitting parameters and model structure. Model 1 includes internal mass transfer while model 2 does not. One important fitting parameter for all models is the contact heat transfer coefficient between the cylinder and the paper. Two different correlations, a constant value and a moisture dependant (linear) he
The purpose of the present study was to study associations between self-assessed alexithymia and sleep disorders. Five groups of patients with different sleep disorders were compared on the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20). The prevalence of alexithymia, as defined by the cut-off score of TAS >60 was 17% among all patients, but differed among the groups: Primary Insomnia (PRI, n = 119) 6.7%, Ins
Background: An increased knowledge of predictors that might affect survival in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients treated with cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs) is important for clinicians and for the health services. Impairment in activities of daily living (ADL), somatic diseases, and psychiatric symptoms may influence mortality in AD. We aimed to study the impact of functional capacity and conco
History WINGS was founded in 2003 by female doctoral students at the Department of Geology as a response to the fact that there were no female professors at the department. During 2007 WINGS expanded to include the whole Faculty of Science and in 2012 the network was further expanded to include also the Faculties of Medicine and Engineering. The three faculties have research areas that thrive from

Popular Abstract in Swedish Mängden och kvaliten på avfall förändras när intresset för resurserna i avfallet ökar. Ett omhändertagande av avfall med sortering, återvinning, förbehandling och utnutjande av energi producerar nytt avfall. En del hamnar på deponin. En möjlig följd är att det organiska materialet som deponeras minskar. En annan är att avfallet blir torrare. Framförallt inom EU finns deWhen attention is drawn to the recovery of resources within waste, the amount and types of waste disposed of at landfills change. A waste management system based on separate kerbside collection, sorting, recycling, and pretreatment with material and/or energy recovery produces new residues, which finally end up at landfills. This is the case in, for example, the US and the EU. As a possible result
