A convex optimization framework over contrast current density is developed to calculate fundamental bounds on the performance of linear passive cloaks. The formulation uses the method of moments applied to the electric field integral equation while using extincted power as the optimized metric. The presented results show that high cloaking efficiency requires cloaks made of low-loss and high-contr
The element silicon is everywhere! In fact, silicon is the second most abundant element in Earth’s crust. Silicon in rocks and minerals breaks down and is transported from rivers and streams into the world’s oceans. Many marine organisms need silicon as it is a crucial nutrient to build their skeletons. Silicon eventually reaches the seafloor, but its journey into the abyss is not straightforward
Beijing's interest in the African continent is strong. For some time, China has been investing considerable capital to increase its influence in many sub-Saharan nations, often rich in raw materials and resources considered essential for Chinese industrial growth. In this respect, a very interesting case concerns Tanzania, a significant African state facing the Indian Ocean that has recently estab
Fluctuating climate, heat, and drought are expected to considerably impact bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) quality in the coming years and, as wheat is an essential food element worldwide, this will have significant implications for future food security and the global economy. This leads to an urgent need for developing wheat varieties with stable yield and gluten quality. In this study, we invest
This presentation discusses how perception of pictures, of foremost faces, might be processed in the brain. Research in cognitive psychology suggests that pictures of faces are processed in to some extent specific areas of the brain (fusiform gyrus), than those showing other objects. Pictures of faces seem to be perceived in a holistic way, that is, dealt with in parallel (several features are pro
Decision-makers and managers spend substantial amounts of funding everyday on various interventions aimed at management of the large carnivores, for example different measures to mitigate depredation on livestock, e.g., removal of carnivores and fencing of livestock (see Linnell et al. 1996 for an extensive review). Management of species that occur in low numbers is challenging as relatively small
This short playful piece is a result of my participation in the Collaborative Foresight Cycle on the Futures of AI and Sustainability. Hosted by Media Evolution in Malmö between May and June 2022, the Cycle brought together a broad range of actors to co-create and explore the future possibilities of AI in relation to sustainability. This piece is a response to the hopelessness which has arisen due
This article examines the emergence of idealism in evolutionary cognitive science by analyzing the conscious realism of the cognitive theorist Donald D. Hoffman and the mathematician Chetan Prakash. Perception is for them not about veridical experience, but rather a mechanism for survival. It helps us survive but does not give us access to reality as such. By relating Hoffman and Prakash's conscio
Background: Patients in palliative care are often treated with antithrombotics, even in the late stages of disease. Clear guidelines regarding deprescribing are lacking. Objective: The aims of this study were to investigate bleeding as a side effect of antithrombotic treatments the last year in life and map the timing of deprescribing. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed. All medic
Ta några ingenjörsstudenter, släng in ett par kognitionsvetarstudenter och ge dem ett problem att lösa. Ut kommer interaktiva dataspel för skolan och robotar som kan imitera människors rörelser. – Vi kombinerar doing och thinking, säger Agneta Gulz, professor i kognitionsvetenskap.
Under 1980-talet var Sri Lanka ett av de länder som flest barn adopterades internationellt ifrån, med 6815 registrerade adoptioner. Antalet adoptioner har sen dess fallit kraftigt. Under 2010-talet registrerades bara 259 stycken – detta trots den stora mängd barn som fortsatt växer upp på institutioner i landet. Hur kommer detta skifte sig och vad har det inneburit för barns rättigheter och tolkni
This study aims to evaluate Malmö stad integration work regarding the integration of incoming overseas women to the employment sector. In order to understand what Malmö stad integration work means, the overall establishment policy of the governmental offices is evaluated. Malmö stad receives six hundred immigrant every year. In Malmo there is already housing shortage, and Sweden is already faced
