To operate the ALICE Time Projection Chamber in continuous mode during the Run 3 and Run 4 data-taking periods of the Large Hadron Collider, the multi-wire proportional chamber-based readout was replaced with gas-electron multipliers. As expected, the detector performance is affected by the so-called common-mode effect, which leads to significant baseline fluctuations. A detailed study of the puls

The path towards this deliverable started at the end of 2019 when RURITAGE gathered with the H2020 funded ROCK project, working on heritage as a means for development in urban areas, at the ILUCIDARe Playground (20.11.2019 | ILUCIDARE Playground: Cracking the future of heritage). At this point, the idea to establish a common vision- a European Vision paper for urban and rural regeneration through

The main objective of Work Package 4 was to provide quantifiable evidences of the potential role of CNH as a driver for sustainable growth. To do this, WP4 has been monitoring over the last 2.5 years the performance of the deployed Action Plans (or regeneration schemes) in the 6 initial Replicators (Rs), and the 9 Additional Replicators (ARs) included in the last phase of the project. Performance’

Quantum Chromodynamics, the theory of quarks and gluons, whose interactions can be described by a local SU(3) gauge symmetry with charges called “color quantum numbers”, is reviewed; the goal of this review is to provide advanced Ph.D. students a comprehensive handbook, helpful for their research. When QCD was “discovered” 50 years ago, the idea that quarks could exist, but not be observed, left m

There is an increased demand for utilizing technological possibilities in the Nordic public sector. Automated decision-making (ADM) has been deployed in some areas towards that end. While it is linked to several benefits, research shows that the use of ADM, with elements of AI, also implicates risks of discrimination and unfair treatment, which has stimulated a flurry of normative guidelines. This

The recent past has witnessed a rising interest in examining the cultural, economic, and social implications of colonialism and especially of trans-Atlantic slavery. As a result, many academic institutions have been sanctioning research projects to ascertain their own and certain historical figures’ roles in trans-Atlantic slavery. Whilst the research undertaken is very pertinent in understanding

This paper accounts for the development and initial validation of a yes/no vocabulary test of North Sámi called North Sámi Vocabulary Test (NSVT). North Sámi (NS) is an Indigenous language spoken in northern Scandinavia. Being an endangered language, NS is in need of revitalisation efforts. One contribution is the provision of proficiency assessment tools. We administered a 75-item NSVT version (5

We study the problem of characterizing the cyclic vec-tors in de Branges-Rovnyak spaces. Based on a description of theinvariant subspaces we show that the difficulty lies entirely in un-derstanding the subspace (aH2)⊥ and give a complete function the-oretic description of the cyclic vectors in the case dim(aH2)⊥ < ∞.Incidentally, this implies analogous results for certain generalizedDirichlet spac

Poeten och konstnären Öyvind Fahlström (1928–1976) är en av ytterst fåinternationellt kända svenska konstnärer under 1900-talet. När han och hansfru, bildkonstnären Barbro Östlihn, flyttade till New York 1961 kom de attbli en naturlig del av det framväxande neoavantgardet, och Fahlström erövrade omedelbart en central position i rörelsen tillsammans med framträdande konstnärer som Robert Rauschenbe

Particle physics today faces the challenge of explaining the mystery of dark matter, the origin of matter over anti-matter in the Universe, the origin of the neutrino masses, the apparent fine-tuning of the electro-weak scale, and many other aspects of fundamental physics. Perhaps the most striking frontier to emerge in the search for answers involves new physics at mass scales comparable to famil

Quantification of land surface-atmosphere fluxes of carbon dioxide (CO2) and their trends and uncertainties is essential for monitoring progress of the EU27+UK bloc as it strives to meet ambitious targets determined by both international agreements and internal regulation. This study provides a consolidated synthesis of fossil sources (CO2 fossil) and natural (including formally managed ecosystems

The current study investigates attitudes toward one form of sex for resources: the so-called sugar relationships, which often involve exchanges of resources for sex and/or companionship. The present study examined associations among attitudes toward sugar relationships and relevant variables (e.g., sex, sociosexuality, gender inequality, parasitic exposure) in 69,924 participants across 87 countri

OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether the relative effectiveness of janus kinase inhibitors (JAKis) versus tumour necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) or other biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs in rheumatoid arthritis differ by the presence or absence of risk factors for cardiovascular (CV) disease, age, sex and smoking. METHODS: Through Swedish registers, we identified 13 493 individuals

In this Letter, we manipulate the phase shift of a Josephson junction using a parallel double quantum dot (QD). By employing a superconducting quantum interference device, we determine how orbital hybridization and detuning affect the current-phase relation in the Coulomb blockade regime. For weak hybridization between the QDs, we find π junction characteristics if at least one QD has an unpaired
