We present a study of a novel variant of the Self-Organizing Map (SOM) called the Associative Self-Organizing Map (A-SOM). The A-SOM is similar to the SOM and thus develops a representation of its input space, but in addition it also learns to associate its activity with the activity of one or several external SOMs. The A-SOM has relevance in e.g. the modelling of expectations in one modality due
In this article we reflect on the quality of a realist synthesis paradigm applied to the evaluation of Phase V of the WHO European Healthy Cities Network. The programmatic application of this approach has led to very high response rates and a wealth of important data. All articles in this Supplement report that cities in the network move from small-scale, time-limited projects predominantly focuse
One interpretation of the model considered in this paper is a single-echelon inventory system consisting of a number of local warehouses, which normally replenish from an outside supplier. In case of a stockout at a warehouse an emergency lateral transshipment from another warehouse may be possible. However, such transshipments are only allowed in one direction, i.e., the flow structure is unidire
In the production of pharmaceutical drugs, a large part of the production costs stem from the downstream processing and the chromatographic purifications required. In order to reduce purification costs the process performance must be increased, which means that the processes need to be less robust since robustness comes with the price of lower process performance, and thus, higher production costs
We find the extreme programming methodology highly suitable for introducing undergraduate students to software engineering. To be able to apply this methodology at a reasonable teaching cost for large student groups, we have developed two courses that work in tandem: a team programming course taken by more than 100 students, and a coaching course taken by around 25 students. In this paper we descr
Product concentrations may be estimated from gas analysis or calorimetric measurements. These techniques of analysis are fast, simple, and provide a continuous output. To check the accuracy of these estimations, the anaerobic ethanol formation of an industrial strain of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was selected as a test system. Cultivations were carried out as batch cultures with different
Since 2004 when mechanical exfoliation was first utilised to produce single layered samples of graphite, 2D materials have gained interest in the scientific community. With the prerequisite that the initial bulk material has a layered structure, these 2D materials have created an opportunity to examine materials on a very small scale as well as opening the possibility of creating smaller electrica
In order to apply combustion feedback control in diesel engines to control pollution formation, good models are needed to estimate the states. One of those would be NOx levels which are regulated by European law. There are conventional sensors on the market that can measure NOx but these are too slow for in-cycle feedback control. The purpose of this thesis was to derive a model to estimate NOx wh
Climate observations show that Serbia has been experiencing an increase in mean temperatures and frequency of heatwaves, in part due to its high population growth and unsustainable urbanisation. The goal of this research was to establish the heatwave level of vulnerability in Belgrade municipalities and determine citizens' adaptive capacities. The MOVE framework was used to determine vulnerabi
Self-recognition is a trait presumed to be associated with high levels of cognition and something previously considered to be exclusive to humans and possibly apes. The most common test of self-recognition is the mark/mirror test of whether an animal can understand that it sees its own reflection in a mirror. The usual design is that an animal is marked with a colour spot somewhere on the body whe
Background: DYT6 dystonia can have an unpredictable clinical course and the result of deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the internal part of the globus pallidus (GPi) is known to be less robust than in other forms of autosomal dominant dystonia. Patients who had previous stereotactic surgery with insufficient clinical benefit form a particular challenge with very limited other treatment options avai
The generalized Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn sum rule is known to be very sensitive to QCD radiative and power corrections. We improve the previously developed QCD-inspired model for the Q2 dependence of the Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn sum rule. We take into account higher order radiative and higher-twist power corrections extracted from precise Jefferson Lab data on the lowest moment of the spin-dependent pro
Algorithms for Massive MIMO uplink detection and downlink precoding typically rely on a centralized approach, by which baseband data from all antenna modules are routed to a central node in order to be processed. In the case of Massive MIMO, where hundreds or thousands of antennas are expected in the base-station, said routing becomes a bottleneck since interconnection throughput is limited. This
In this letter, the TM020 mode of a rectangular patch antenna is modified by partially loading a mu-negative (MNG) or double-negative (DNG) metamaterial block. With proper constitutive parameters and filling ratio, the electric fields at two radiating edges of the patch can be out of phase, and a broadside radiation pattern is achieved. A novel dual-band rectangular patch antenna loaded with a pai

Although most individuals consider gambling to be an innocent and fun activity, when it develops into problem gambling (PG), it can have detrimental outcomes to one’s life, such as over-indebtedness. This study explores the role of maladaptive personality traits and gender in both PG and over-indebtedness, in an online sample of 1479 adult gamblers in Sweden. Participants were administered the Pro
ABB has identified a potential in decreasing their levels of capital employed and in particular net working capital, NWC. To release tied up capital from the balance sheet, a decision was taken to start an initiative with focus on NWC. The focus area is to reduce NWC as percentage of revenues and to reduce the levels of overdues. The objective of this report is to describe a methodology for decrea
