The first LHC application ever to be executed in a computational Grid environment is the so-called ATLAS Data-Challenge 1, more specifically, the part assigned to the Scandinavian members of the ATLAS Collaboration. Taking advantage of the NorduGrid testbed and tools, physicists from Denmark, Norway and Sweden were able to participate in the overall exercise starting in July 2002 and continuing th
This paper reports a new Modelica-based open source project entitled JModelica.org, targeted towards dynamic optimization. The objective of the project is to bridge the gap between the need for high-level description languages and the details of numerical optimization algorithms. JModelica.org is also intended as an extensible platform where algorithm developers, particularly in the academic commu
Dominerande medicinsk forskning säger att kolesterolhalten i blodet är en potent riskfaktor för hjärt-kärlsjukdom. Ju lägre kolesterol, desto bättre! brukar man säga. Parallellt med detta finns studier som hävdar att denna kolesterolhypotes är förknippad med många frågetecken. Den i Sverige mest kände kolesterolkritikern Uffe Ravnskov, har nyligen givit ut boken The Cholesterol Myths. Professor Bo
The catalyst layer (CL) in polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells is one of the key components regulating the overall performance of the cell. In PEM fuel cells, there are two CLs having identical composition for hydrogen oxidation (HO) and oxygen reduction (OR) reactions. There are four phases inside the CL, namely: carbon, Pt particles, ionomer and voids. In this work, a micro-model of th
There are experimental evidence for the occurrence of colour reconnection, but the mechanisms involved are far from understood. Previous reconnection studies are briefly summarized, and some potential implications for LHC physics are outlined.
The least-mean-square (LMS) algorithm is an adaptation scheme widely used in practice due to its simplicity. In some applications the involved signals are continuous-time. Then, usually either a fully analog implementation of the LMS algorithm is applied or the input data are sampled by analog-to-digital (AD) converters to be processed digitally. A purely digital realization is most often the pref

This paper addresses the kinematic calibration of the Gantry-Tau parallel kinematic manipulator. It offers two closed-form solutions to this problem, which do not need any initial guess, contrarily to most calibration methods that are based on non-linear least square minimization. This makes the proposed methods applicable by non expert users in a context of mechanical modularity of the robot. Exp
