A new implementation of FLEXPART with Enviro-HIRLAM meteorological input, and a case study during a heavy air pollution event

We integrated Enviro-HIRLAM (Environment-High Resolution Limited Area Model) meteorological output into FLEXPART (FLEXible PARTicle dispersion model). A FLEXPART simulation requires meteorological input from a numerical weather prediction (NWP) model. The publicly available version of FLEXPART can utilize either ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts) Integrated Forecast System

A Floating-Point 16 × 16 SVD Accelerator for Beyond-5G Large Intelligent Surfaces

Beyond-5G wireless communication systems will feature advanced, key technologies such as large intelligent surfaces (LISs) composed of a very large number of antenna elements. The concomitant tremendous data rate requirements, due to the communication between these antennas, necessitate careful algorithm-architecture codesign. This paper presents an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) a

Atmospheres of Privacy

This chapter offers a reflection on how privacy can be theorized as a distinct form of sphere, namely an atmosphere. Drawing on perspectives from phenomenology and aesthetics, ‘Atmospheres of privacy’ provides a conceptual framework for exploring the embodied and felt experience of privacy in everyday lived spaces. The chapter discusses two cases from contemporary surveillance culture in which dom

Youth handball concussion prevention strategies: A workshop-based study with experts and end users

Sport-related concussion (SRC) is a serious injury in youth team sports, including handball. While research on the prevention of SRC has made progress over the past 5 years, prevention strategies are lacking in handball. The aim was to explore and develop strategies focusing on information, rules and training that may prevent concussion in youth handball by incorporating knowledge from experts and

Mahalla in Uzbekistan: An Embodiment of Muslim Values of Neighbourliness and Mutual Support

The main purpose of this brief reflection is to examine the relationship between (a) Muslim communal values of neighborliness, mutual support and responsibility for those living together in a defined, spacial community and b)the built environment and structures of mosques and community gathering spaces, with a focus on how the existence of such a built environment and infrastructure helps to devel

Spatially resolved structural and chemical properties of the white layer in machined Inconel 718 super alloy

Inconel 718 is one type of nickel-based alloy used for a large range of applications, including gas turbines and aeroengines components. Although mechanical and thermodynamic properties of this material have been deeply studied in the past years, a method able to investigate local properties of the thin white layer formed on the alloy surface after machining remains challenging. Here, a 90 nm X-ra

A Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulator for mmWave Massive MIMO Using PYNQ Framework

Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) plays an important role in beyond 5G systems to support high data rate and low latency, especially operating at millimeter-wave frequency bands. In traditional software-based simulators, the simulation time increases exponentially with the number of base station antennas and served users. We propose a hardware-in-loop simulator that combines the flexib

A High-Speed Comparator Using a New Regeneration Latch

This paper presents a high-speed comparator which employs a novel regeneration latch to enhance the comparison process. The regeneration stage employs an innovative mechanism that reduces the RC constant at the output while avoiding static power consumption. Furthermore, the proposed comparator is capable of operating seamlessly with a rail-to-rail input common-mode voltage. This is made possible

Different Analytical Methods to Determine the Influence of Pitting on the Residual Performance of Mg Alloys as Implant Materials

Mg alloys are prone to pitting due to their non-uniform protective corrosionCorrosion layers, which can lead to an increase in stress intensity based on the notch effect, pit-to-crack transition, and thus premature failure. A small set of analytical methods to determine the extent of pitting and its effect on the resulting residual strengthResidual tensile strength is presented. Micrographs, 3D mi

The Ordovician System of South Africa : a review

Outcrops of the Ordovician System in South Africa are extensive; they cover significant portions of the Northern, Western and Eastern Cape provinces as part of the Cape Fold Belt as well as the KwaZulu-Natal Province as supracrustal cover overlying the Natal sector of the Paleoproterozoic Namaqua-Natal metamorphic province. Within the Cape Fold Belt, Ordovician rocks of the Table Mountain Group (P

Lossa bromsen på det etniska företagandet

De samhälleliga och mänskliga kostnaderna för långvarigt utanförskap är förödande.Exemplet med den somaliska integrationen i Minnesota i USA visar att det skulle kunna vara annorlunda – men det kräver att vi gör upp med vår misstänksamhet mot etniskt företagande, skriver Benny Carlsson och Andreas Johansson Heinö.

Tau accumulation and its spatial progression across the Alzheimer’s disease spectrum

The accumulation of tau abnormality in sporadic Alzheimer’s disease is believed typically to follow neuropathologically defined Braak staging. Recent in-vivo PET evidence challenges this belief, however, as accumulation patterns for tau appear heterogeneous among individuals with varying clinical expressions of Alzheimer’s disease. We, therefore, sought a better understanding of the spatial distri

Domaren som tjänsteman - domares uppdrag i förvaltningsmyndigheter

Det finns ett ganska stort antal bestämmelser om att förvaltningsmyndigheter – ofta organiserade som domstolsliknande nämnder – ska ha medverkan av ordinarie domare. I detta bidrag ges en översikt över när lagstiftningen kräver sådandomarmedverkan. Dessutom diskuteras vad ordinarie domares uppdrag i sådana organ innebär praktiskt och principiellt, främst i statsrättsligt och förvaltningsrättsligt
