Attention-Aided Outdoor Localization in Commercial 5G NR Systems

The integration of high-precision cellular localization and machine learning (ML) is considered a cornerstone technique in future cellular navigation systems, offering unparalleled accuracy and functionality. This study focuses on localization based on uplink channel measurements in a fifth-generation (5G) new radio (NR) system.

Tissue factor (F3) gene variants and thrombotic risk among middle-aged and older adults : A population-based cohort study

Background: Tissue factor (TF), encoded by the F3 gene, is the main initiator of blood coagulation. The molecular epidemiology of the F3 gene and the relation to venous thromboembolism (VTE) remains to be determined. Objectives: The aim was to determine the molecular epidemiology and the importance of F3 variants for incident VTE by analysis of the population-based MDC study (Malmö Diet and Cancer

Does Fusobacterium in Colorectal Cancer Sites Originate From the Oral Cavity? A Pilot Study

Objectives: Fusobacterium can contribute to oral diseases, but also pose as a systemic risk factor. This genus, and especially F. nucleatum, can be found in colorectal cancer (CRC) tissue and is involved in multiple aspects of this type of cancer. Previous studies indicated a possible oral origin of these bacteria; however, stronger evidence is needed to reach a definitive conclusion. This pilot s

Exploring vacuum foam drying as an alternative to freeze-drying and spray drying for a human lipase

This article compares and explores vacuum foam-drying as an alternative drying technology to freeze-drying and spray drying for a recombinant human lipase as the model protein. Materials characteristics such as structure, surface composition and the solid-state properties of the dry materials were compared and investigated. Moreover, the technical functionality in terms of reconstitution character

Management of cardiogenic shock : state-of-the-art

The management of cardiogenic shock is an ongoing challenge. Despite all efforts and tremendous use of resources, mortality remains high. Whilst reversing the underlying cause, restoring/maintaining organ perfusion and function are cornerstones of management. The presence of comorbidities and preexisting organ dysfunction increases management complexity, aiming to integrate the needs of vital orga

Aligning spatial ecological theory with the study of clonal organisms : the case of fungal coexistence

Established ecological theory has focused on unitary organisms, and thus its concepts have matured into a form that often hinders rather than facilitates the ecological study of modular organisms. Here, we use the example of filamentous fungi to develop concepts that enable integration of non-unitary (modular) organisms into the established community ecology theory, with particular focus on its sp

The literary making of a Uyghur feminist : Identity and ethics in Banu's Redemption

Banu’s Redemption (Modanhan 2021) is the first literary work written in Chinese on the topic of re-education camps in Xinjiang, China. The semi-autobiographical novel depicts how Banu, a female Uyghur intellectual, seeks self-redemption and new ethnic and gender identities against increasingly stringent social control and rising ethnic tension in the region. This chapter offers a critical reading

Impact of Oral Infection on Organ Transplantation : A Systematic Review

Objectives: Posttransplant infections may lead to dire consequences in immunocompromised organ recipients. Oral foci of infection are therefore often eliminated prior to solid organ transplantation to reduce posttransplant morbidity. However, despite increasing numbers of organ transplantations the necessity of pretransplant dental treatment and its effect on transplant outcome remains uncertain.

Bimodal response strategy in Daphnia to ambush predation risk

Predation's consequences can manifest through either consumptive or nonconsumptive effects, but the prey response may also vary depending on the predator hunting strategy. Considerable attention has been paid to coursing predators, whereas less information is available regarding responses to ambush predators. To remedy this paucity, we utilized a three-dimensional tracking platform to record group

Guideline for RSA and CT-RSA implant migration measurements : an update of standardizations and recommendations

Opening remarks – These guidelines are the result of dis-cussions within a diverse group of RSA researchers. They were approved in December 2023 by the board and selected members of the International Radiostereometry Society to update the guidelines by Valstar et al. [1]. By adhering to these guidelines, RSA studies will become more transparent and consistent in execution, presentation, reporting,

Characterisation of fire smoke emissions from fire retardant wood

Fire retardants are extensively used to reduce the flammability (combustibility) of wood–based construction materials in an effort to improve fire safety of buildings. However, little is known of the composition and potential risks to human health of smoke emissions produced from combustion of fire retardant treated wood. To help understand the risk to human health, fire smoke emissions produced f

A review of fire safety separation distances between camping units and caravans

Almost 20 years ago, the Swedish civil contingency agency (MSB) representatives published a general advice on fire protection at camping facilities. Within this document there contains advice on what distances are needed between camping units to reduce the risk of fire spreading between them, however how these distances were decided on is lost to history and given the changes and development in ca

The Role of Co-Creation in Enhancing Explorative and Exploitative Learning in Project-Based Settings

We study how co-creation practices influence explorative and exploitative learning in five collaborative construction projects with partnering arrangements. Drawing on a longitudinal case study, our findings reveal two different types of explorative learning processes (i.e., adaptation and radical development) and three different exploitative learning processes (i.e., incremental development, know

Samhällsutveckling innebär nya förutsättningar för stora byggprojekt

Inte sällan beskrivs byggbranschen som konservativ och motvillig till förändringar, både av folk i branschen, av forskare samt av folk i allmänhet. Likväl har byggbranschen under årens lopp genomgått ett antal förändringar, ofta som reaktioner på nya förutsättningar skapade av förändringar i det omgivande samhället. Den här artikeln redovisar hur ett antal projektledare i stora byggprojekt uppfatt
