Adaptive haptics, an amalgamation of different haptic systems and machine learning algorithms, has the potential for intelligent feedback in healthcare. Such systems are capable of learning to suit individual user needs in real-time, thereby improving patient care, medical education, and treatment. Targeted techniques of machine learning approaches are reinforcement learning, neural networks, supp
Our report is concerned with the laws as they regulate judges with regard to case allocation and considers this in relation to four fields of practice. The first is commercial law where we investigate allocation in the Commercial Court and the Court of Appeal. Next is criminal law where we investigate allocation in a magistrates’ court and the Crown Court. Thirdly we examine welfare law and the So

We present a method to first laterally position microparticles inside droplets by acoustic forces and then split the droplet into three daughter droplets to achieve a 2+fold enrichment of microparticles inside the center droplet. We show that acoustic forces can be applied to both manipulate polystyrene beads (5 μm) and red blood cells inside droplets. The presented technology opens up for develop
Trends towards distributed power generation and the deregulation of energy markets are increasing the requirement for software tools that optimize power generation plant design and operation. In this context, this paper describes the GTPOM (thermo-economic optimization of whole gas turbine plant) European project, funded in part through the European Commissions 5th Framework Programme, focusing on
Objective Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a recognized risk factor for neurological deficits later in life. Abnormal fetal blood flow in the presence of IUGR helps to distinguish fetuses with true growth impairment from those that are small but normally grown. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of IUGR with abnormal fetal blood flow on cognitive function and psychological develop

Popular Abstract in Swedish Östersjön är idag ett av världens största innanhav med endast marginellt utbyte av vatten med Kattegatt via Öresund samt Lilla och Stora Bält. Saltrika inflöden från Kattegatt orsakar två salthaltsgradienter, en horisontell med mer saltrikt vatten i sydväst och mer färskt i Bottenhavet, samt en vertikal saltgradient (haloklin) med mer saltrikt bottenvatten och mer färskThe Baltic Sea is one of the world’s largest brackish water environments and is today suffering from, for example, eutrophication, spreading hypoxia, accumulations of contaminants and invasive organisms. These problems exist due to a combination of natural features that makes the Baltic Sea a sensitive ecosystem (such as long water residence time, limited water exchange, large catchment area), and
This article examines the modern concept of literary value. Since the late 18th century, the problem of literary value has been regarded, from the point of view of the so called double discourse of value, as a presupposed opposition between material and spiritual ”economies”. Many Romanticist and Modernist authors believe that literature – and in a broader sense art and aesthetics – constitute a v
Allt fler personer reser allt längre sträckor för att ta sig till och från jobbet. En starkt bidragande orsak till detta är en strävan att öka den ekonomiska tillväxten genom att göra arbetskraften tillgänglig över allt större geografiska områden. I Sverige har både pendlingstid och avstånd stadigt ökat under de senaste decennierna och idag tillbringar den genomsnittliga pendlaren mer än en timme Allt fler personer reser allt längre sträckor för att ta sig till och från jobbet.

We have developed a method to separate bacteria from red and white blood cells (henceforth collectively called blood cells) using acoustophoresis, for subsequent PCR detection. To maximize throughput, we have now investigated the effect of increased cell concentration on the separation. Increasing the blood concentration drastically decreases bacteria recovery, but we show that this can be remedie
Objective: To investigate associations between neonatal delivery weight and future risk of maternal type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Methods: Data included in the Swedish Medical Birth Registry and Swedish National Diabetes Registry were merged to include all women born during 1930–1989; patients with pre-existing diabetes or gestational diabetes were excluded. Cox regression analyses were performed to
The leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) p.G2019S mutation is the most common genetic cause of Parkinson's disease (PD). An induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line CSC-41 was generated from a 75-year old patient diagnosed with PD caused by a p.G2019S mutation in LRRK2. Skin fibroblasts were reprogrammed using a non-integrating Sendai virus-based technology to deliver OCT3/4, SOX2, c-MYC and KLF4
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) commonly results in injury to the components of the white matter tracts, causing post-injury cognitive deficits. The myelin-producing oligodendrocytes (OLs) are vulnerable to TBI, although may potentially be replaced by proliferating oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs). The cytokine interleukin-1β (IL-1β) is a key mediator of the complex inflammatory response, and
Deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) is a powerful bimodal separation scheme [1] based on regular obstacle arrays that in its basic embodiment sends particles in two different directions as a function of size. We add functionality to the technique by including gravitational forces, as a perturbation to particles transported by fluid flow, and as a way of transporting the particles through a st
Conventional fractionation techniques fail to fully benefit from the variety in morphology and shape that is found among biological particles. Although light scattering in conventional FACS gives some information on the size and morphology of a particle, it is generally not capable of giving a definite number on specified dimensions of a small object. We demonstrate an approach where we select whi
The housing sector accounts for roughly 30% of the total annual energy consumption in the developed nations. Notwithstanding, sustainable housing management has not received sufficient attention previously, even though the role of housing managers can be considered significant in reducing the energy consumption of existing residential buildings. This study proposes a concept for a comprehensive an
