In this paper list decoding of convolutional codes is considered. List decoding is a very powerful, low complexity, non-backtracking decoding method that does not fully exploit the error correcting capability of the code. A correct path loss is a serious kind of error event that is typical for list decoding. An expurgated upper bound on the probability of correct path loss is derived for the ensem
Abstract in UndeterminedThe secreted protein Dickkopf-1 (Dkk1) is an antagonist of canonical Wnt signaling, expressed during fracture healing. It is unclear how it is involved in the mechanical control of bone maintenance. We investigated the response to administration of a Dkk1 neutralizing antibody (Dkk1-ab) in metaphyseal bone under different loading conditions, with or without trauma. In this
Two submaximal cycle ergometer test methods, the Astrand nomogram test and a computerized two-point extrapolation test (Cat Eye ergociser, commercially available), were compared in order to determine agreement and repeatability of estimates of maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max). Twenty healthy women, divided into two groups of ten according to their age (mean 35.3 and mean 46.9), performed test-r

This study investigated how three verbalization protocols, Silent, Type 1 (think-aloud), and Type 3 (explanatory verbalization), influence problem-solving performance on insight and non-insight problems within both spatial and verbal domains. Twenty-eight participants completed twelve problems (three per category) under each condition. Informed by theories of insight, verbal overshadowing, and cog
This thesis examines how China has been portrayed in the Annual Threat Assessment reports of the U.S. intelligence community between 2013-2023. A qualitative document analysis is conducted on 9 publicly available threat assessment reports issued during this period. The theoretical framework applied is threat perception theory, which posits that a state’s perception of threats guides strategic poli
Land use has a major influence on the nutrient balance in a region. Land use changes such as the restoration of peatlands can therefore have an impact on it. In this analysis, nutrient exports in the Baltic Sea basin and in some regions of the North Sea basin were estimated under different future scenarios including scenarios that promote land use changes such as peatland restoration through CO2 p
This study used the urban context of Brunnshög, Sweden as a real case study to assess non-visual daylight conditions in urban environments. More precisely, the work was focusing on how the light spectrum – through surrounding façade colour and window type – can have an impact on the circadian potential. A one-bedroom apartment opening onto a courtyard on the ground floor and the same apartment on
Rosé wine popularity is mostly due to its pink colour which results from grape pigments. Varying from a pale salmon to a deeper pink colour, its stability and intensity are not as good as the those of red wines, it’s therefore crucial to improve them. Yeasts, responsible for alcoholic fermentation, have been shown to influence wine colour, in particular when nonSaccharomyces (NS) yeasts are inocul
I en metaanalys granskades litteraturen om sambandet mellan konfidens och korrekthet i episodiskt minne, med särskilt fokus på minne för brottsrelaterade händelseförlopp vid fri och styrd återgivning. Trots omfattande forskning inom området identifierades en lucka inom forskningsfältet, då ingen tidigare meta- analys specifikt behandlat sambandet mellan konfidens och korrekthet för fri och styrd åThis meta-analysis reviewed the literature on the relationship between confidence and accuracy in episodic memory, specifically focusing on crime- relevant event memory in free and cued recall. Despite extensive research in this area, an apparent gap was identified within memory research, as no prior meta-analysis has addressed the relationship between confidence and accuracy in the context of fre
This thesis explores the discursive depiction of life in Portugual from the perspective of lifestyle migrants and digital nomads on TikTok. The aim of this thesis is to uncover the motivations of foreigners to live in Portugal, lifestyle migrants’ integration into Portuguese society, and their acknowledgement of the growing gentrification issues in Portugal. The method used in this study is Norman
Non-native trees are common in urban environments all over the world. From a conservation viewpoint, it is essential to understand how these trees are affecting urban breeding birds. Non-native trees house fewer and smaller invertebrates than native trees do and are considered a poor food source for insectivorous birds. Still, studies are lacking on exactly how non-native trees affect birds’ feedi
