In order for any learning-based model to be considered reliable, it needs a well-behaved uncertainty or confidence estimate. Most modern neural networks do produce a confidence estimate in the form of their softmax output probability. However, the softmax probability is invalid for out-of-distribution data. Gaussian processes are known to produce a well-behaved confidence estimate that is aware of

The efficiency and durability of Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells (PEFCs) depend on optimizing porous media components such as gas diffusion and catalyst layers. In parallel, the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) has emerged as a powerful tool to model fluid flow, mass transport, and multiphase interactions in complex porous structures. This works provides a concise overview of recent advances in apply

The field of general-purpose robotics has recently embraced powerful probabilistic diffusion-based models to learn the complex embodiment behaviours. However, existing models often come with significant trade-offs, namely high computational costs for inference and a fundamental inability to quantify output uncertainty. We introduce Normalizing Flows Policy (NF-P), a conditional normalizing flow-ba

A thorough understanding of the longitudinal phase space (LPS) of the electron beam is of great advantage to any modern linear accelerator (linac), and of critical importance for operating a free electron laser (FEL). While a transverse deflecting structure (TDS) allows full characterization of a beam’s LPS, measurements with a TDS system are often destructive and operationally complex.

BACKGROUND: Early-life exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) may impact the developing lungs and immune system and increase the risk of childhood asthma, but no studies have been conducted in a high-exposed population. The objective of this study was to estimate associations between prenatal PFAS exposure and childhood incidence of asthma and wheeze in Blekinge County, Sweden, whe

The technique to produce hybrid Tulu or Nar camels from crosses between dromedary and Bactrian camels is common throughout Middle Eastern and Central Asian countries. Formerly, these hybrids were highly valued as strong and persistent pack animals but today are bred to improve milk or wool quality in the respective species and for camel wrestling. We developed a diagnostic single nucleotide polymo

Rescue excavations recovered a skeleton that resurrect the contemporary dramatic history of Austria in the 17th century as troops besieged Vienna in the second Osmanic-Habsburg war. Unique for Central Europe is the evidence of a completely preserved camel skeleton uncovered in a large refuse pit. The male individual of slender stature indicates a few but characteristic pathological changes reveali

Sand swimming behaviour occurs in several lizard clades. Known ecological advantages of sand swimming include reduced predation risk and enhanced thermoregulation. We addressed whether, by way of sand abrasion, sand-swimming reduces ectoparasitism in the lizard Microlophus occipitalis, whose natural habitat includes sandy substrates (beach) and firm soil (dry forest). We hypothesised that, aside f

Mauritz Stillers Vingarne är en tidig queerfilm. Men de homoerotiska inslagen förmedlas via ett mytologiskt kodspråk.

Handelns omställning mot mer cirkulära affärsmodeller lyfts ofta fram som en central del i utvecklingen mot en mer hållbar ekonomi. Samtidigt visar praktiken att cirkulär handel innebär betydande utmaningar, inte minst för handelns logistik och operativa strukturer.Denna rapport är resultatet av ett tvåårigt forskningsprojekt som syftar till att öka förståelsen för hur logistiknätverk behöver utfo

Spherical motion is a special case of camera motion where the camera moves on the imaginary surface of a sphere with the optical axis normal to the surface. Common sources of spherical motion are a person capturing a stereo panorama with a phone held in an outstretched hand, or a hemi-spherical camera rig used for multi-view scene capture. However, traditional structure-from-motion pipelines tend
