Machine Learning based Approach for the Prediction of Surface Integrity in Machining

This paper presents a two-stage procedure to create a surface integrity predictor. The first stage includes data clustering, which allows to evaluate the achievable surface quality. The second stage consists in training the model to predict which cluster the machined surface will belong to. To demonstrate the applicability, an experimental plan for machining of Inconel 718 in milling was developed

NICE-SLAM: Neural Implicit Scalable Encoding for SLAM

Neural implicit representations have recently shown encouraging results in various domains, including promising progress in simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). Nevertheless, existing methods produce over- smoothed scene reconstructions and have difficulty scaling up to large scenes. These limitations are mainly due to their simple fully-connected network architecture that does not incorp

Camera Pose Estimation Using Implicit Distortion Models

Low-dimensional parametric models are the de-facto standard in computer vision for intrinsic camera calibration. These models explicitly describe the mapping between incoming viewing rays and image pixels. In this paper, we explore an alternative approach which implicitly models the lens distortion. The main idea is to replace the parametric model with a regularization term that ensures the latent

Supply chain visibility : A Delphi study on managerial perspectives and priorities

Visibility across supply chains has been a key concern for organisations for many years, but the tools and information systems to achieve real-time visibility have not been available until recently. In response to uncertainty and complexity, advanced information and communication technologies have been explored for supply chain visibility (SCV). However, managerial perspectives are largely absent

MIS 3 age of the Veiki moraine in N Sweden–Dating the landform record of an intermediate-sized ice sheet in Scandinavia

The Veiki moraine in northern Sweden, a geomorphologically distinct landscape of ice-walled lake plains, has been interpreted to represent the former margin of an intermediate-sized pre–Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) Fennoscandian ice sheet, but its age is debated as either marine isotope stage (MIS) 5c or MIS 3. We have applied optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and radiocarbon dating to four si

Variable Impedance Skill Learning for Contact-Rich Manipulation

Contact-rich manipulation tasks remain a hard problem in robotics that requires interaction with unstructured environments. Reinforcement Learning (RL) is one potential solution to such problems, as it has been successfully demonstrated on complex continuous control tasks. Nevertheless, current state-of-the-art methods require policy training in simulation to prevent undesired behavior and later d

Childhood tuberous sclerosis complex in southern Sweden: A paradigm shift in diagnosis and treatment.

AimTo investigate the complete clinical spectrum of individuals with paediatric tuberous sclerosis complex in southern Sweden and explore changes over time.MethodsIn this retrospective observational study, 52 individuals aged up to 18 years at the study start were followed-up at regional hospitals and centres for habilitation from 2000 to 2020.ResultsCardiac rhabdomyoma was detected prenatally/neo

An Application Specific Vector Processor for Efficient Massive MIMO Processing

This paper presents an implementation for a baseband massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) application-specific instruction set processor (ASIP). The ASIP is geared with vector processing capabilities in the form of single instruction multiple data (SIMD), and furthermore exploits instruction level parallelism by employing a very large instruction word (VLIW) architecture. Additionally, a

Is ceasing self-injury enough? Differences in psychological health between people reporting behavioral cessation of non-suicidal self-injury and those who consider themselves to have stopped self-injuring

Objective: This study examined the overlap between considering oneself to have stopped nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) and the actual cessation of the behavior in terms of days self-injured in the last month and last year, and how these operationalizations are associated with constructs related to NSSI recovery. Methods: A cross-sectional survey including measures of coping, emotion dysregulation,

Genome Editing Using Cas9-gRNA Ribonucleoprotein in Human Pluripotent Stem Cells for Disease Modeling

The discovery that the CRISPR/Cas9 system could be used for genome editing purposes represented a major breakthrough in the field. This advancement has notably facilitated the introduction or correction of disease-specific mutations in healthy or disease stem cell lines respectively; therefore, easing disease modeling studies in combination with differentiation protocols. For many years, variabili

The archipelago of meaning : Methodological contributions to the study of Vanuatu sand drawing

Vanuatu sand drawing has been listed by UNESCO since 2006 and has both fascinated and puzzled researchers from various disciplines for over a century. The inherent multi-dimensionality of the practice makes analysis complex, and until very recently developing a systematic methodology to study this intangible art form was difficult. This paper aims to contribute to filling this gap with the analysi

Procedural justice for all? Legitimacy, just culture and legal anxiety in European civil aviation

This article presents the results of survey-based research which explores if licensed aircraft maintenance engineers working in Norway, Sweden, and Portugal experience regulated “just culture” as procedural justice-infused processes when occurrence reporting in European Union (EU) civil aviation. Drawing on Tylerian procedural justice theory, the study finds that, perceived procedural justice is m

A Simple Model of the Production-health Trade-off During an Epidemic

The purpose of this paper is to simplify the standard framework integrating epidemiological and economic concerns. We present a model where a social planner can influence the spread-intensity of an infection wave through a single parameter. The spread-intensity affects both economic activity and population health. We study the planner's optimal trade-off between upholding economic activity and pre

Orthodox Christianity and the Covid-19 Pandemic

This book probes into the dynamics between Orthodox Christianity and the COVID-19 pandemic, unraveling a profound transformation at institutional and grassroots levels. Employing a multidisciplinary approach, and drawing upon varied data sources, including surveys, digital ethnography, and process tracing, it presents unprecedented insights into church-state relations, religious practices, and the

Adding historical high-sensitivity troponin T results to rule out acute myocardial infarction

AIMS: The clinical usefulness of historical concentrations of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) is unknown. This study investigated the ability to rule out myocardial infarction (MI) with the use of historical hs-cTnT concentrations among patients with chest pain in the emergency department (ED).METHODS AND RESULTS: The derivation cohort consisted of patients presenting with chest pain

Taking stock for repair and refurbishing: A review of harvesting of spare parts from electrical and electronic products

A circular economy (CE) calls for the value of materials and products to be maintained and recovered through narrowing, closing, and slowing loops. However, there remain challenges in capturing value through reuse of components in refurbished and repaired products. In this paper, we provide an overview of the research and practice of harvesting spare parts from used and waste electrical and electr

Nonlinear ultrasonic characteristics of a corroded steel plate

Corrosion in leak-tight plate structures, such as the containment liner in Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs), is detrimental to their operational state. To tackle this issue, the present work aims to assess the feasibility of using nonlinear ultrasound to detect corrosion. The corrosion product of main concern in the present study contains several microscopic and macroscopic cracks and delaminations. Th
