In this work, we consider the problem of localizing multiple signal sources based on time-difference of arrival (TDOA) measurements. In the blind setting, in which the source signals are not known, the localization task is challenging due to the data association problem. That is, it is not known which of the TDOA measurements correspond to the same source. Herein, we propose to perform joint local
This paper presents the design and comparison of an active Gm-C and a passive baseband filter for 6G applications. Both presented circuits are 5th-order differential low-pass filters with 3-dB cut-off frequencies of 4.9 and 4.7 GHz, respectively, implemented in a 22 nm FD-SOI CMOS technology. The active filter uses back-gate tuning to optimize the transfer function, and achieves a measured in-band
Bridges are an important part of the traffic infrastructure, which are subjected to high safety requirements and economic consequences in case of functionality failure. Therefore, it is needed to consider potentially substantial direct and indirect risks during service life, i.e., the need for risk and robustness analyses. Over the last decades, various quantitative performance criteria have been
Människors nyfikenhet och drivkraft att förstå och mäta vår värld har lett till många vetenskapliga framsteg. Vårt ständiga sökande efter kunskap har hjälpt oss att bland annat förhindra sjukdomar, förbättra skördar och förstå de ekosystem vi lever i. Dock varierar förutsättningar och utmaningar för forskning runt om i världen, och i många forskningsmiljöer saknas det tillgång till avancerad labor
We survey the current state of the art in the use of nonparametric methods to test separability. We focus on three tests: Swofford and Whitney's (1994) joint test of the necessary and sufficient conditions for weak separability; Fleissig and Whitney's (2003) sequential test of those conditions; and Jones and Stracca's (2006) test of the necessary and sufficient conditions for additive separability
Finite Element (FE) model updating is crucial for identifying key parameters in structural design and improving predictive accuracy. Despite extensive research on advanced FE procedures approved for user applications, persistent disparities remain in real-world scenarios, especially for complex materials like wood. Capturing accurate mechanical characteristics with traditional models poses challen
The study of rapid and stochastic events that involve multiple species, such as chemical reactions and plasma dynamics, requires means to capture multispectral information in two dimensions at both high temporal- and spatial resolution. Commercially available cameras that provide high temporal resolution are based on either signal intensification or rapid data acquisition. Intensified cameras prov
The minimization of the total variation is a well-established technique of preservingedges and discontinuities. Therefore it has wide applicability in image processing,where one is interested in recovering a corrupted image while preserving edges inthe image. In the last decades, in the literature, there have been introduced manydifferent approaches and algorithms for minimizing the total variatio
When treating pregnant women with antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), clinicians have to balance potential fetal adverse effects against the risks of uncontrolled maternal disease. Only recently have emerging scientic data provided a rational basis for treatment decisions considering both aspects. The focus of research is currently moving from the first to the second AED generation. Lamotrigine is relativ
Aims Short-term ambulatory electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring is often used to assess premature atrial complex (PAC) and premature ventricular complex (PVC) frequency, but the diagnostic reliability is unknown. The objective of this study was to study the day-to-day variability of PAC and PVC frequency. Methods We used 14-day full-disclosure mobile cardiac telemetry recordings without atrial fibri
Non-technical summaryBrazil – one of the world's largest biocultural diversities – faces high rates of habitat loss, social inequality, and land conflicts impacting indigenous and local peoples. To challenge that, Brazilian sustainability science and education needs to be strengthened. We searched for elements in ongoing bottom-up sustainability social movements that can help serve that purpose. W
We study the steady Euler equations for inviscid, incompressible, and irrotational water waves of constant density. The thesis consists of three papers. The first paper approaches the Euler equations through a famous nonlocal model equation for gravity waves, namely the Whitham equation. We prove the existence of a highest gravity solitary wave which reaches the largest amplitude and forms a $C^{1
Public entities can be responsible for court administration and supervision over judges. This article provides an overview of this issue, using Sweden as the main example. The article contains a general discussion on what is understood by ’supervision’ and ‘public entities’, how such a topic can be analysed, and how supervision can preferably be arranged so as to safeguard a high level of judicial
With cyber-physical systems opening to the outside world, security can no longer be considered a secondary issue. One of the key aspects in security of cyber-phyiscal systems is to deal with intrusions. In this paper, we highlight the several unique properties of control applications in cyber-physical systems. Using these unique properties, we propose a systematic intrusion-damage assessment and m
hange detection is an important application in remote sensing earth observation which leads to identification of significant environmental events, forest and agricultural landmonitoring. In this paper, we introduce a standalone softwarefor two well-known change detection methods, omnibus test and iteratively re-weighted multivariate alteration detection (IR-MAD). Omnibus test deals with synthetic
The NA62 experiment at CERN reports searches for K+→μ+N and K+→μ+νX decays, where N and X are massive invisible particles, using the 2016–2018 data set. The N particle is assumed to be a heavy neutral lepton, and the results are expressed as upper limits of O(10−8) of the neutrino mixing parameter |Uμ4|2 for N masses in the range 200–384 MeV/c2 and lifetime exceeding 50 ns. The X particle is consi
