Multifunktionella landskap producerar mat, fiber och bränsle, samt en mängd andra ekosystemtjänster såsom biologisk mångfald, rekreation, ren luft och rent vatten. I SAPES och associerade forskningsprojekt har vi arbetat med att förstå hur olika jordbruksmetoder och landskapets struktur påverkar biologisk mångfald och ekosystemtjänster som beror av dessa. Vi har testat påverkan på arter och ekosys
Event-based sampling provides a way of lowering the resource utilization in sensing and communication applications. By sending a sample only when some triggering condition is fulfilled, we can ensure that the transmitted samples actually carry innovation. However, in an event-based system, the state estimation problem becomes complicated, as the information of not receiving a measurement must be t
Objective: Diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is complicated by the overlap of clinical symptoms with other dementia disorders. Development of robust fluid biomarkers is critical to improve the diagnostic work-up of FTD. Methods: CSF concentrations of placental growth factor (PlGF) were measured in the discovery cohort including patients with FTD (n = 27), Alzheimer disease (AD) dementia (

Frequent application of nitrogen fertilizers through irrigation is likely to increase the concentration of nitrate in groundwater. In this study, the HYDRUS-2D/3D model was used to simulate fertilizer movement through the soil under surface (DI) and subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) with 10 and 20 cm emitter depths for tomato growing in three different typical and representative Egyptian soil types
Mycosis fungoides is a disease with manifestation of the skin that has traditionally been treated with electron therapy. In this paper, we present a method of treating the entire skin with megavoltage photons using helical tomotherapy (HT), verified through a phantom study and clinical dosimetric data from our first two treated patients. A whole body phantom was fitted with a wetsuit as bolus, and
Introduction Subject movements lead to severe artifacts in magnetic resonance (MR) brain imaging. In this study we evaluate the diagnostic image quality in T1-weighted, T2-weighted, and timeof-flight angiographic MR sequences when using a flexible, navigator-based prospective motion correction system (iMOCO). Methods Five healthy volunteers were scanned during different movement scenarios with and
While biometric authentication for commercial use so far mainly has been used for local device unlock use cases, there are great opportunities for using it also for central authentication such as for remote login. However, many current biometric sensors like for instance mobile fingerprint sensors have too large false acceptance rate (FAR) not allowing them, for security reasons, to be used in lar
We sought to quantify the morphology in vivo of hippocampi in patients with drug resistant temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), prior to temporal lobe resection, and the correlation of surface-based shape analysis of morphology and clinical cognitive function.Thirty patients with drug-resistant TLE and twenty healthy controls underwent clinical neuropsychological test
BACKGROUND: Global inequalities in access to health care are reflected in differences in cancer survival. The CONCORD programme was designed to assess worldwide differences and trends in population-based cancer survival. In this population-based study, we aimed to estimate survival inequalities globally for several subtypes of childhood leukaemia.METHODS: Cancer registries participating in CONCORD
