Arctic homeotherms counter challenges at high latitudes using a combination of seasonal adjustments in pelage/plumage, fat deposition and intricate thermoregulatory adaptations. However, there are still gaps in our understanding of their thermal responses to cold, particularly in Arctic birds. Here, we have studied the potential use of local heterothermy (i.e. tissue cooling that can contribute to

En väsentlig drivkraft i företaget att skriva en självbiografi är erfarenheten av skuld - som kan bekännas eller avvisas, och i båda fallen kan denna förbindas med en bestämning av identiteten. Man försvarar sig eller bekänner genom att visa vem man är - detta via berättelsen om ett liv. Mekanismen är vanlig i kristen tradition (Augustinus, Pierre Abélard) och återfinns bl a hos kvinnor, bland ann

We explore the phenomenology of a unique three-Higgs-doublet model based on the single CP symmetry of order 4 (CP4) without any accidental symmetries. The CP4 symmetry is imposed on the scalar potential and Yukawa interactions, strongly shaping both sectors of the model and leading to a very characteristic phenomenology. The scalar sector is analyzed in detail, and in the Yukawa sector we list all

A search for weakly interacting massive dark-matter particles produced in association with bottom or top quarks is presented. Final states containing third-generation quarks and missing transverse momentum are considered. The analysis uses 36.1fb-1 of proton–proton collision data recorded by the ATLAS experiment at s=13 TeV in 2015 and 2016. No significant excess of events above the estimated back

This paper presents a dynamic method that derives the magnetic model of permanent magnet synchronous machines. The method uses the moment of inertia of the rotating parts to limit the speed dynamics while specific stator winding currents accelerate and brake the machine. Measurements of the rotor position and the phase voltages give the voltages in the dq frame and the rotational frequency, which

Flow thinning (FT) is an active traffic protection mechanism destined for communication networks with variable capacity of links, as for example wireless networks. In FT, end-to-end traffic demands are equipped with dedicated logical tunnels (for example MPLS tunnels) whose maximal capacity is subject to thinning in order to follow the fluctuations of the currently available link capacity. It foll

The histomorphometric properties of the subtrochanteric femoral region have rarely been investigated. The aim of this study was to investigate the age-associated variations and regional differences of histomorphometric and osteocytic properties in the cortical bone of the subtrochanteric femoral shaft, and the association between osteocytic and histological cortical bone parameters. Undecalcified

This paper proposes a new method for an automatic detection of a resolution of a scale or a ruler with graduation marks in the shoeprint images. The method creates a vector of the correlations estimated from the co-occurrence matrices for every row in a shoeprint image. The scale resolution is estimated from maxima in Fourier spectrum of the correlations’ vectors. The proposed method is evaluated

Artikeln går på djupet i utvalda prosaomskrivningar av historien om hjälten Theseus från Köln och täcker versioner från 1300- till 1700-talet. Den undersöker hur de är uppbyggda, språkligt, strukturellt och innehållsligt, och i vilka yttre kontexter de nya versionerna dyker upp.

We investigate whether acquiring more primary education has long-term effects on risk-taking behavior in financial markets. Using exogenous variation in education from a compulsory schooling change combined with wealth data for the Swedish population, we estimate the effect of education on stock market participation and on the share of financial wealth invested in stocks, conditional on participat

This article provides an overview of different formal models that could be of interest to epistemologists interested in assertion. It also says something about where they fit into the general picture of assertion as a phenomenon involving both an asserter and an assertee. The author’s perspective is that of the philosopher rather than that of the logician. A semiformal level of description is empl
