This study evaluates the potential of supervised and transfer learning techniques to assist energy system optimization. A surrogate model is developed with the support of a supervised learning technique (by using artificial neural network) in order to bypass computationally intensive Actual Engineering Model (AEM). Eight different neural network architectures are considered in the process of devel

Attosecond pulses allow for imaging of very fast processes, like electron dynamics. Stockman et al. suggested to use these pulses in connection with a Photoemission electron microscope (PEEM) to study the ultrafast dynamics of plasmons (Stockman et al. Nat Photonics 1:539–544, 2007). For efficient plasmon studies, the repetition rate of the attosecond pulses used needs to be higher than a few kHz

The existence of a specific lysophospholipase in human pancreatic juice was evaluated. The proteins were separated by a series of chromatographic steps including Sephacryl S-200, cholate-Sepharose 4B, Sephadex G-100 and CM-Sephadex G-50. The enzyme activities against 1-palmitoyl lysolecithin (LL) as well as tributyrin (TB) and p-nitrophenyl butyrate (PNPB) were determined in all the fractions of t

Genistein, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, inhibited cholecystokinin (CCK)-induced maximal amylase release from rat pancreatic acini by 18, 31, and 46% at concentrations of 100, 300, and 750 microM, respectively, after 30 min preincubation. Genistein similarly decreased amylase release stimulated by bombesin but not that stimulated by secretin or vasoactive intestinal peptide. The steps of stimulus-s

Previous studies showed that bile salts had apromoting effect on colon cancer development and thiseffect was inhibited by ursodeoxycholate (UDC). Werecently found that both human colorectal adenomas and carcinomas were associated with a specificdecrease in alkaline sphingomyelinase activity. In thiswork, we compared the effects of ursodeoxycholate andother bile salts on the levels of rat intestina

Teknisk geologi vid Lunds tekniska högskola har i ett nyligen slutfört projekt, finansierat av Stiftelsen Bergteknisk Forskning (BeFo), undersökt om geofysiska mätningar med DCIP (kombinerade resistivitets- och IP-mätningar) kan ge bättre information om bergmassan i samband med planeringen av tunnlar och andra bergarbeten samt berguttag i bergtäkter. Resultaten bekräftar att DCIP i den undersökta

Purpose: This paper aims to increase understanding on how co-locating in a multi-firm campus setting could be of value to healthcare organizations. Design/methodology/approach: The paper presents a qualitative case study of two health campuses in Finland. The data comprises interviews with different organizations operating on the campuses, complemented by onsite observations, and analysis of archi

The small bowel is difficult to reach and to examine endoscopically. Video capsule endoscopy (VCE) using a wireless imaging technology was introduced 2000. VCE is an ingestible capsule camera that takes photographs during its passage throughout the gastrointestinal tract. The diagnosis of small bowel Crohn's disease is among the prime indications for VCE, as one third of patients with Crohn's dise

Many of today’s health care facilities are outdated and no longer efficiently support processes. The various development trends in changing health care services seem to support more frequent use of modular facilities. Modular facilities and their development, however, face the challenge of combining a customized, user-centric design for special customer needs with the rapid delivery of prefabricat

The development of business ecosystems in smart cities is currently hampered by the absence of established approaches for facilitating long-term value and sustainability. In our view, the underlying reason is the lack of collective action involving various organizations in the design process. Collective action for the good of the whole ecosystem does not take place in existing participatory practi

We show that the observer-backstepping technique applied to linear control object and combined with linear control system design gives rise to a non-standard composition of control object, observer and controller. The resultant system is characterized by a full-order observer and a reduced-order control system design which in its complexity does not go beyond the `relative degree' of the control o

In magnetic resonance (MR) only radiotherapy, the target delineation needs to be performed without computed tomography (CT). We investigated in thirteenpatients with prostate cancer, how the clinical target volume (CTV) was affected, when the target delineation procedure was changed from using both CT and MRimages to using MR images only. The mean volume of the CTVCT/MR was 61.0 cm3 as compared to

University incubators are an opportunity to promote the dissemination of research, change teaching practices and contribute to territorial economic development. In this article we present a structural and dynamic analysis of such an innovation system of a Swedish eco-innovation system by proposing elements for analysing the success of such innovation systems.
