Multiconfigurational second order perturbation theory was employed in order to describe the ground and excited states of negatively charged fullerenes C60 and fullerene dimers C120. The calculations were performed for all possible spin states. The obtained results can be used to understand the electronic structure of fullerides.
The chapter focuses on marketing activities of start-up firms. While this is traditionally understood as analyzing the customer needs and how to bridge that gap, for example, through segmentation and branding activities, this chapter has focused on bridging the gaps between industrial actors in order to build networks. The rationale behind this focus relates to the fact that science- and technolog
To overcome the blur when visualizing of the interior of a turbid media by means light-based methods, a technique called Structured Laser Illumination Planar Imaging (SLIPI) is employed. The method is based on a 'light coding' strategy to distinguish between directly and multiply scattered light, allowing the intensity from the latter to be suppressed by post-processing data. In this paper, we exp
Objectives. The purpose of this study was to compare the diagnoses of healed myocardial infarction made from the 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) by artificial neural networks and an experienced electrocardiographer. Background. Artificial neural networks have proved of value in pattern recognition tasks. Studies of their utility in ECG interpretation have shown performance exceeding that of conven
This volume is one of the outcomes of the network project In Search for Transnational Memory in Europe (ISTME), which was financed during four years 2012-2016 by a grant from COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) as COST Action IS1203. The Centre for European Studies (CFE) at Lund University was grant holder for ISTME, and the Centre’s Head Prof. Barbara Törnquist-Plewa was chair.
In this paper an OFDM timing synchronization ASIC is presented. The proposed synchronization unit can be used in any OFDM system. The algorithm is based on the correlation introduced by the cyclic prefix, which is exploited in the time domain where the time offset is estimated. Although the algorithm is too complex to be implemented on today's most powerful standard DSP, a hardware architecture th
Swedish native speakers (NSs) unconsciously use tones realized on word stems to predict upcoming suffixes during speech comprehension. The present response time study investigated whether relatively proficient second language (L2) learners of Swedish have acquired the underlying association between tones and suffixes without explicit instruction, internalizing a feature that is specific to their L
A novel adaptive beamformer employing recursively updated soft constraints for acoustic speech enhancement is proposed. The beamformer operates in a subband structure to allow a time-frequency operation for each channel. Consequently, the processing performed can be viewed as a combined weighted spatial,frequency and temporal filter. The major benefit of the new recursive soft constrained beamformer
Metastatic behavior varies significantly among breast cancers. Mechanisms explaining why the majority of breast cancer patients never develop metastatic outgrowth are largely lacking but could underlie the development of novel immunotherapeutic target molecules. Here we show interplay between nonmetastatic primary breast cancer and innate immune response, acting together to control metastatic prog
The aim of this article is to analyse how innovation policy is staged and legitimised through the dramatised social process of an event. The context is taken from an annual event, Skåne Innovation Week, which is arranged by the regional innovation system in Skåne, Sweden. Innovation systems often organise similar events internationally, which appear to play a key role in performing inter-organisat
Platelets are megakaryocyte-derived cellular fragments lacking a nucleus and are classically known for their crucial role in supporting hemostasis. Besides their hemostatic function, it is becoming increasingly clear that platelets are much more diverse and that they are capable of a wide range of immune-sensing functions. This chapter will focus on these non-hemostatic immunological aspects, espe
Alzheimer´s disease showed a low prevalence of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and hypertension compared to cases with vascular dementia. All cases neuropathologically confirmed.
Background: Willfully not responding to auditory stimuli hampers accurate behavioral measurements. An objective measure of covert manual suppression recorded during response tasks may be useful to assess the veracity of responses to stimuli. Purpose: To investigate whether the lateralized readiness potential (LRP), an electrophysiological measure of corticomotor response and suppression, may be of
Environmental governance relies on the translation of socioecological knowledge across disciplines and cultural–political boundaries. Comparatively few studies have, however, examined how such expert knowledge is translated back into the local contexts where projects are implemented. This article explores these processes of translation for the case of forest-based carbon offsetting using a case st
Increasing evidence links intraneuronal β-amyloid (Aβ 42) accumulation with the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In Aβ precursor protein (APP) mutant transgenic mice and in human AD brain, progressive intraneuronal accumulation of Aβ42 occurs especially in multivesicular bodies (MVBs). We hypothesized that this impairs the MVB sorting pathway. We used the trafficking of the epidermal grow
