Cyber security strategies operate on the normative assumption that national cyberspace mirrors a country's territorial sovereignty. Its protection commonly entails practices of bordering through infrastructural control and service delivery, as well as the policing of data circulation and user mobility. In a context characterized by profound territorial fragmentation, such as the Occupied Palestini

In this paper we propose a novel technique to estimate the parameters of two Gaussian envelope oscillatory signals, with the same time-locations and oscillatory frequencies but possibly different phases. The phase difference and the length of the Gaussian envelope are estimated directly from the slopes of the corresponding cross-spectrogram reassignment vectors. Including the phase difference and

Kopplingen mellan religion och dans i äldre tid, från antiken och medeltiden fram till tidigmodern tid i Europa.

With the help of modern technologies and advances in communication systems, the functionality of Industrial control systems (ICS) has been enhanced leading toward to have more efficient and smarter ICS. However, this makes these systems more and more connected and part of a networked system. This can provide an entry point for attackers to infiltrate the system and cause damage with potentially ca

The inclusive J/ψ meson production in Pb–Pb collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon–nucleon collision of sNN=5.02 TeV at midrapidity (|y|

Background: Foot-and-mouth disease viruses (FMDVs) are members of the picornavirus family and cause an economically important disease of cloven-hoofed animals. To understand the structural basis of antigenic variation in FMDV, we have determined the structures of two viruses closely related to strain O1BFS whose structure is known. Results The two new structures are, like O1BFS, both serotype O vi

Aim: The study aim was to evaluate the RSR 3 Screen ICA™ and 2 Screen ICA™ for detection of islet cell autoimmunity in healthy Swedish subjects and patients with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes (T1D). Methods: 3 Screen is designed for combined detection of autoantibodies to glutamic acid decarboxylase (GADA), to the islet antigen IA-2 (IA-2A) and to zinc transporter 8 (ZnT8A), while 2 Screen detec

In this paper, a flexible modified extended exponential power life testing (MEEPLT) distribution is proposed. The MEEPLT distribution has increasing, decreasing and bathtub hazard rate function. The MEEPLT density is arc, left skewed, right-skewed and symmetrical shaped. The MEEPLT distribution is developed on the basis of the generalized Pearson differential equation. Some structural and mathemat

Recently, challenge-oriented innovation policy has become increasingly popular in political and scientific discussions. However, the extent to which such a challenge-based thinking has entered regional policy making is relatively unclear. This paper examines the scope of the regional level in promoting challenge-based innovation, focusing on the recent renewable energy innovation policy in Schlesw

Proteolytic cleavage of thrombin generates C-terminal host defense peptides exerting multiple immunomodulatory effects in response to bacterial stimuli. Previously, we reported that thrombin-derived C-terminal peptides (TCPs) are internalized in monocytes and macrophages in a time- and temperature-dependent manner. In this study, we investigated which endocytosis pathways are responsible for the i

The reassigned spectrogram is a powerful tool for analysing non-stationary signals, and in an ideal setting it gives perfect time and frequency localisation. A method very well suited for oscillating transient signals is the matched window reassignment, which requires a matching window, i.e. the envelope of the transient, to be known or estimated beforehand. This paper proposes a novel method for

Low rank inducing penalties have been proven to successfully uncover fundamental structures considered in computer vision and machine learning; however, such methods generally lead to non-convex optimization problems. Since the resulting objective is non-convex one often resorts to using standard splitting schemes such as Alternating Direction Methods of Multipliers (ADMM), or other subgradient me

BACKGROUND: In patients with AD, CSF Aβ42 is reduced while Aβ40 remains unchanged. It has been suggested that altered CSF Aβ42 is due to aggregation of this peptide into insoluble plaques, resulting in less soluble Aβ42 available for secretion to the CSF. However, the relations between soluble and insoluble Aβ42 and Aβ40 in the brain and the concentrations of these Aβ peptides in CSF are not well
