Dynamic Shear Rheometer for rheological investigation of bitumen in road applications : The impact of measurement technique
The rheological properties of bituminous binders tested with a dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) as a function of loading time and temperature can more accurately represent real road situations with rising traffic loads and densities combined with climatic change. This method is more effective than traditional methods such as measuring the softening point and penetration. Complex shear modulus and pha
Pericyte Dynamics in Glioblastoma and Ischemic Stroke
Glioblastoma (GBM) and ischemic stroke represent two challenging brain pathologies which still lack an optimal therapeutic strategy. Central to these diseases are pericytes, mural cells that regulate blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity, vascular stability, and immune responses. However, the diseasespecific alterations in pericytes that contribute to GBM progression and their influence on the posts
On the reversibility of amyloid fibril formation
Amyloids are elongated supramolecular protein self-assemblies. Their formation is a non-covalent assembly process and as such is fully reversible. Amyloid formation is associated with several neurodegenerative diseases, and the reversibility is key to maintaining the healthy state. Reversibility is also key to the performance of fibril-based biomaterials and functional amyloids. The reversibility
Interaction and what follows : Electron beam effects in dynamic systems
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is an atomically resolved technique that allows for in depth analysis of the properties of materials by irradiating a thin sample with high energy electrons and detecting the signal imparted on, and generated by, the electron beam as it passes through. However, due to the strong interaction between electrons and matter, the sample will not remain unperturbed
Model-Fitting Weighted Least Squares as an alternative to Principal Component Analysis for Analyzing Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy Spectrum Images
Spectrum imaging with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) has become ubiquitous in material characterization using electron microscopy. Multivariate statistical methods, commonly principal component analysis (PCA), are often used to aid analysis of the resulting multidimensional datasets; PCA can provide denoising prior to further analysis or grouping of pixels into distinct phases with sim
Socialisation of Children to Cope With Death, Bereavement and Grief - A Berger and Luckman Inspired Analysis of Children’s Picture Books in a Chinese Context
Children’s understanding of death, bereavement and grief develop through socialisation where picture books also may play a role. The study explores how children’s picture books published in China (2010–2024), communicated themes of death, bereavement and grief. A systematic search identified 321 relevant books, of which 47 met the inclusion criteria and were analysed using both descriptive and a B
The Impact of Switch Faults on Train Delays : A Case Study of the Swedish Railway Network
Switches and crossings are prone to failure thus making them drivers of unreliability in the operation of many railway systems. Unreliability is directly linked to punctuality which continues to limit, among other factors, the uptake of railways as a sustainable mode of transport. To fix this issue, there is a need for a better understanding of the contribution of railway sub-systems to train dela
Real-time High-Speed Train Delay Prediction using Seemingly Unrelated Regression Models
Understanding the impact of various factors on train arrival delays is a prerequisite for effective railway traffic operating control and management. Existing studies model the train delay prediction problems using a single, generic equation, restricting their capability in accounting for heterogeneous impacts of spatiotemporal factors on arrival delays as the train travels along its route. The pa
In Dialogue with Society : Democratic Engagement through Theatre
This research project explores how theatre can contribute to democratic engagement. The starting point was artistic probes investigating aspects of democracy: participation, deliberation and inclusion. The probes resulted in three productions presented at theatre institutions in Sweden. In Skapa Demokrati (Creating Democracy), participation was promoted by encouraging the audience members to creat
Opinion Polls across Boundaries : The Early History of Northwestern European Opinion Polling beyond National Borders and Disciplinary Frameworks
This article focuses on the early history of Northwestern European opinion polling (1940s–1950s), specifically the cases of the Netherlands and Sweden. The evolution of opinion polling and its influence on post-war politics and society should be understood in light of processes of international transfer and entanglement. The Dutch-Swedish comparison brings into focus the ways in which the national
Approximating excursion distributions using regenerative processes
The excursion distribution of stochastic processes is important in many applications and is an important object in probability theory. The excursion distributions are defined as the time between a u-level up-crossing and the following down-crossing of the same level. While the notion of the excursion distribution might be intuitive, the general problem of describing it is not. Finding the excursio
