In this thesis, I study the evolution of individual dark matter halos as I change their environments. Dark matter halos at present day are traced back to their constituent particles in the initial conditions and inserted, or "spliced", into environments of differing distance to a large filament. Splicing retains all initial information of the halos evolution, allowing to probe the non-li
When being in a noisy environment, a normal hearing person can manage to sort out background noise and focus on the attended source. This is something that a person with impaired hearing will struggle with, even when wearing a hearing aid. Research for developing intelligent hearing aids has not yet come up with a solution for solving this problem and more research is needed. This thesis uses data
This qualitative study seeks to highlight the contributing factors of social exclusion of asylum seekers and refugees in Glasgow. Deriving from an internship at the organisation Scottish Refugee Council in Glasgow, this study is based on primary data that has been gathered from a community conference with asylum seekers and refugees, as well as from interviews with staff from the organisation. Its
Marine spatial planning (MSP) can be understood as mapping and (re)bordering a three-dimensional landscape in time and space. We theorize MSP in Southern Sweden by the environmental ethics expressed in Torsten Hägerstrand’s time-geography. By doing this, we are able to pose questions about wise resource use and human-environment interaction.In Southern Swedish municipalities, MSP is typically coor
Most parametric fundamental frequency estimators make the implicit assumption that any corrupting noise is additive, white Gaus-sian. Under this assumption, the maximum likelihood (ML) and the least squares estimators are the same, and statistically efficient. However, in the coloured noise case, the estimators differ, and the spectral shape of the corrupting noise should be taken into account. To

Putative changes in the multiphasic pattern of longitudinal movement of the common carotid artery wall in the normal aging process are unknown. The aim of this study was to explore the phases, and resulting patterns, of the longitudinal movement of the intima–media complex of the human common carotid artery with respect to age and gender. One hundred thirty-five healthy non-smoking patients of dif
The role of intentions in motor planning is heavily weighted in classical psychological theories, but their role in generating eye movements, and our awareness of these oculomotor intentions, has not been investigated explicitly. In this study, the extent to which we monitor oculomotor intentions, i.e. the intentions to shift one’s gaze towards a specific location, and whet
The experience of our 16 patients treated for membranous duodenal stenosis is reported. Their treatment and course was analysed in a retrospective study. Eight patients were operated on within the first 16 days of life and in the remaining group surgery was performed at 1 month to 4 y of age. The presenting symptom leading to diagnosis was, in all but one case, non-bile-stained vomiting. Associate
The quinoline-3-carboxamides (Q compounds) are a family of small molecules with immunomodulatory functions that have shown efficacy in various murine models of inflammatory diseases. One such compound has demonstrated antitumor effects in murine models. Q compounds bind to S100A9, thereby preventing its ligation to TLR4 and RAGE. S100A9 is a small molecule which has shown to have a role in the est
BACKGROUND: Pressure-volume (PV) loops provide a wealth of information on cardiac function but are not readily available in clinical routine or in clinical trials. This study aimed to develop and validate a noninvasive method to compute individualized left ventricular PV loops. METHODS: The proposed method is based on time-varying elastance, with experimentally optimized model parameters from a tr
An overview of the insertion devices (ID) activities at MAX IV Laboratory will be presented. This paper describes the current status of the MAX IV insertion devices and the first commissioning results of some of the first 12 IDs installed at the three accelerators in MAX IV laboratory. The IDs are two Elliptically Polarizing Undulators (EPU), two In-Vacuum Undulators (IVU) and one In-vacuum wiggle
Electric road systems (ERS) are technologies that allow to charge electric vehicles (EVs) while they are driving. This makes it possible to reduce the installed battery capacity and therefore the weight and cost of the vehicle. However, while the vehicle is charging from the ERS a protective earth connection cannot be ensured, which introduces new isolation challenges in the design of the electric
We present a model with continuous or discrete abelian generation group G, which predicts all orders of magnitude for fermion masses ad mixings correctly as a function of only one small parameter φS M ≈ 1 10. Here φS is the scale of G symmetry breaking and M the fundamental mass scale of the theory. No small Yukawa couplings or special choices of the scalar potential are needed. We perform a syste
Downstream processing in the manufacturing biopharmaceutical industry is a multistep process separating the desired product from process- and product-related impurities. However, removing product-related impurities, such as product variants, without compromising the product yield or prolonging the process time due to extensive quality control analytics, remains a major challenge. Here, we show how
We compare the impact of top-quark spin polarization effects in Higgs boson production in association with top-quark pairs and in corresponding backgrounds at the LHC. Because of the spin-zero nature of the Higgs boson, one expects, in the chiral limit for the top quarks, a substantial complementarity in tt̄ spin correlations for a Higgs decaying into fermions/gauge-bosons and tt̄ spin correlation
