Dynamic Community Detection for Brain Functional Networks During Music Listening With Block Component Analysis

The human brain can be described as a complex network of functional connections between distinct regions, referred to as the brain functional network. Recent studies show that the functional network is a dynamic process and its community structure evolves with time during continuous task performance. Consequently, it is important for the understanding of the human brain to develop dynamic communit

Orbital and sub-orbital space tourism : motivation, constraint and artificial intelligence

Purpose: There is limited research on the behavior of different categories of space tourists as identified by different types of space tourism. To address this deficiency, the purpose of this study is to examine what factors make consumers participate in orbital and/or suborbital space tourism, along with three dimensions of motivation, constraint and artificial intelligence. To achieve this study

Machine Learning Based Digital Pre-Distortion in Massive MIMO Systems : Complexity-Performance Trade-offs

In this paper, we study the trade-off between complexity and performance in massive MIMO systems with neural-network based digital pre-distortion (NN-DPD) blocks at the base station. In particular, we consider a multi-user massive MIMO system with per-antenna NN-DPDs, each with an adjustable NN architecture in terms of the size and the number of NN hidden layers. We first analyze the system perfor

The course of health-related quality of life after the diagnosis of childhood cancer : a national cohort study

BACKGROUND: Comprehensive insight in the longitudinal development of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) after childhood cancer diagnosis could improve quality of care. Thus, we aimed to study the course and biopsychosocial determinants of HRQOL in a unique national cohort of children with cancer.METHODS: HRQOL of 2154 children with cancer was longitudinally reported (median: 3 reports) between

Self-Heating in Gate-All-Around Vertical III-V InAs/InGaAs MOSFETs

We investigate self-heating in vertical, gate-all-around III-V InAs/InGaAs nanowire MOSFETs using pulsed IV measurements at various temperatures. Low temperature measurements reveal a negative output conductance indicating self-heating in the transistor. Under pulsed measurements, an increase in drain current (15%) and transconductance (30%) are observed at room temperature, with values influenced

Territorial mimetics and room types : The spatial development of Swedish district courthouses 1970-2020

In this article I investigate the spatial development of Swedish district courthouses and their different room types from 1970 to 2020, with attention to the specificities and commonalities with other building types. How have spatial form and use travelled between building types during this period, and how has this contributed to the recent, quite radical developments and transformation of the cou

MULTIDISCIPLINARY ASSESSMENT OF A YEAR 2035 TURBOFAN PROPULSION SYSTEM

A conceptual design of a year 2035 turbofan is developed and integrated onto a year 2035 aircraft model. The mission performance is evaluated for CO2, noise and NOx and is compared with a notional XWB/A350-model. An OGV heat exchanger is then studied rejecting heat from an electric generator, and its top-level performance is evaluated. The fan, the booster and the low-pressure turbine of the propu

Witness Reporting as Resistance and Recovery–The Swedish Missionary Alma Johansson and the 1915 Armenian Genocide

Western missionaries became important eyewitnesses of the 1915 Armenian genocide, and many reported on the events. This article analyses witness reporting from a biographical and gendered perspective, taking into account the significance of studying local activism and transnational networks in a humanitarian setting. Taking the witness accounts of the Swedish missionary Alma Johansson as an exampl

Investigation into Propolis Components Responsible for Inducing Skin Allergy : Air Oxidation of Caffeic Acid and Its Esters Contribute to Hapten Formation

Propolis is a resin-like material produced by bees from the buds of poplar and cone-bearing trees and is used in beehive construction. Propolis is a common additive in various biocosmetics and health-related products, despite the fact that it is a well-known cause of contact allergy. Caffeic acid and its esters have been the primary suspects behind the sensitization potency of propolis-induced con

LES of Combustion Dynamics in an Ethylene-Hydrogen-Air Ramjet

A combustion Large Eddy Simulation (LES) is used to examine the flow, mixing, fuel-injection and combustion dynamics of a ramjet combustor with a cavity flame holder. The combustor is a running 50/50, in mole, ethylene/hydrogen fuel mixture. A direct-connect facility dual-mode ramjet/scramjet combustor presents the target case, with in the literature available experimental data is used in the pres

Co-optimization of security and accessibility to on-chip instruments

The semiconductor technology development con- stantly enables integrated circuits (ICs) with more, faster and smaller transistors. While there are many advantages, there are also many and new challenges, for example tighter margins, wear- outs and process variations. To address these challenges, the traditional approach with external test instruments used at man- ufacturing test must be complement
