Autonomous vehicle is being developed for widespread deployment. Its reliability and safety are critically dependent on advanced wireless technologies, e.g., vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication. The frontend of a V2X system needs an antenna module that enables the vehicle to reliably connect to all other networks. Designing V2X antenna is challenging due to the complex in-vehicle environment
Purpose—Ischemic myocardial contracture (IMC) or ‘‘stoneheart’’ is a condition with rapid onset following circulatory death. It inhibits transplantability of hearts donated uponcirculatory death (DCD). We investigate the effectiveness of hemodynamic normalization upon withdrawal of life-sustaining therapy (WLST) in a large-animal controlled DCD model, with the hypothesis that reduction in cardiac
Dealing with missing data in data analysis is inevitable. Although powerful imputation methods that address this problem exist, there is still much room for improvement. In this study, we examined single imputation based on deep autoencoders, motivated by the apparent success of deep learning to efficiently extract useful dataset features. We have developed a consistent framework for both training
The addition of polyelectrolytes (PEs) to suspensions of charged colloids, such as nanoplatelets (NPs), is of great interest due to their specific feature of being either a stabilizing or a destabilizing agent. Here, the complexation between a PE and oppositely charged NPs is studied utilizing coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations based on the continuum model. The complex formation is eval
We recently proposed a quantitative group testing (GT) scheme with low-complexity peeling decoding based on low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. Based on finite length simulations and a density evolution analysis we were able to demonstrate that simple (dv,dc)-regular LDPC codes can be more efficient for GT than existing generalized LDPC (GLDPC) code constructions based on BCH component codes. E
Future wireless systems are envisioned to be able to deliver ultra-reliable and low-latency communication.The third generation partner project (3GPP) has identified three different usage scenarios such as enhanced mobile broadband, massive machine-type communication, and ultra-reliable low latency communication.In each of those scenarios, several services and applications can be implemented, e.g.
Balcinrenone (AZD9977) is a selective mineralocorticoid receptor modulator in development in combination with dapagliflozin for treatment of heart failure with impaired kidney function and chronic kidney disease. A prespecified concentration–QT analysis was performed based on data from a phase I single ascending dose study prospectively designed as a thorough QT study substitute. Oral single doses
Background: Data quickly emerges as a core driver of businesses across the worlddue to rapidly expanding use in different areas, such as Machine Learning. In orderfor the data-related organizational operations to be efficient, the topic of data shar-ing has to be explored. This thesis focuses on understanding inter-organizationaldata sharing by exploring practices and challenges that are present w
Exceptional are the instances where explicit solutions to optimal control problems are obtainable. Of particular interest are the explicit solutions derived for minimax problems, as they provide a framework for addressing challenges involving adversarial conditions and uncertainties. This thesis presents explicit solutions to a novel class of minimax optimal control problems for positive linear sy
When it comes to innovation, economic growth, affluence and international attractiveness, there are currently few places in the world that can compare with the San Francisco Bay Area. However, new megatrends such as Sustainability, can challenge its attractiveness. Scholars talk about the “Nordic approach”.In the geographical area of Southern Scandinavia, ‘The Strait Area’, the focus is on Sustain
Indoor sensing is challenging because of the multi-bounce effect, spherical wavefront, and spatial nonstationarity (SNS) of the near-field effect. This paper addresses radio-based environment sensing considering these issues. Specifically, graph theory (GT) is used to model the multi-bounce propagation of the near field. In this manner, indoor reflectors/scatterers are modeled as vertices in a pro
We propose and analyze a novel scheme based on LDPC codes for quantitative group testing. The key underlying idea is to augment the bipartite graph by introducing hidden non-binary variables to strengthen the message-passing decoder. This is achieved by grouping items into bundles of size q within the test matrix, while keeping the testing procedure unaffected. The decoder, inspired by some works
Clog is a declarative language for describing static code checkers for C. Clog is a dialect of Datalog and adds syntactic pattern matching over the C language. We have built Clog using the MetaDL framework and the Clang C compiler frontend. The MetaDL framework supports Datalog evaluation and syntactic patterns, while the Clang frontend provides AST facts and an AST matching mechanism.We provide t
We study an information design problem to reduce congestion in transportation networks. In presence of an uncertain network state, the central planner may sends private signals to the users, with the goal of steering the user equilibrium towards the system optimum flow. We consider private signals and provide sufficient conditions under which optimality may be achieved by information provision in
We deal with a control problem for a complex social network in which each agent has an action and an opinion, evolving according to a coevolutionary model. In particular, we consider a scenario in which a committed minority - a set of stubborn nodes - aims to steer a population, initially at a consensus, to a different consensus state. Our study focuses on determining the conditions under which su
This study presents a measurement campaign with an ultra-large-scale antenna array in both Line-of-Sight (LoS) and Non-Line-of-Sight (NLoS) outdoor scenarios. Measurements were conducted at a center frequency of 15 GHz with a bandwidth of 4 GHz. A virtual 40×40 planar antenna array, formed by moving a vertically-polarized bi-conical omni-directional antenna (ODA) along regularly spaced grids, was
