Genome-Wide Gene Birth–Death Dynamics Are Associated with Diet Breadth Variation in Lepidoptera

Comparative analyses of gene birth–death dynamics have the potential to reveal gene families that played an important role in the evolution of morphological, behavioral, or physiological variation. Here, we used whole genomes of 30 species of butterflies and moths to identify gene birth–death dynamics among the Lepidoptera that are associated with specialist or generalist feeding strategies. Our w

Remote and unsupervised digital memory assessments can reliably detect cognitive impairment in Alzheimer's disease

INTRODUCTION: Remote unsupervised cognitive assessments have the potential to complement and facilitate cognitive assessment in clinical and research settings. METHODS: Here, we evaluate the usability, validity, and reliability of unsupervised remote memory assessments via mobile devices in individuals without dementia from the Swedish BioFINDER-2 study and explore their prognostic utility regardi

Computer Vision Techniques Demonstrate Robust Orientation Measurement of the Milky Way Despite Image Motion

Many species rely on celestial cues as a reliable guide for maintaining heading while navigating. In this paper, we propose a method that extracts the Milky Way (MW) shape as an orientation cue in low-light scenarios. We also tested the method on both real and synthetic images and demonstrate that the performance of the method appears to be accurate and reliable to motion blur that might be caused

AI lesion risk score at different exposure settings

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the lesion risk score provided by an AI system is influenced by the selection of exposure parameters. Methods: A breast phantom which contains a lesion, was imaged with digital mammography with different imaging conditions. The tube voltage, the dose level and the anode-filter combination were varied based on an exposure obtained with a

The added value of abbreviated MRI with UF DCE-MRI and DWI on digital breast tomosynthesis in diagnosing breast lesions

Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) has become a standard screening tool for breast cancer. However, its diagnostic performance is still limited compared to contrast-enhanced MRI, especially in women with dense breasts. Ultrafast dynamic contrast-enhanced (UF DCE) MRI and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) offer a shorter scanning time than conventional MRI and have shown promise in previous studies.

Tunneling dynamics of Dy 164 supersolids and droplets

The tunneling dynamics of a magnetic Dy164 quantum gas in an elongated or pancake skewed double-well trap is investigated with a time-dependent extended Gross-Pitaevskii approach. Upon lifting the energy offset, different tunneling regimes can be identified. In the elongated trap and for sufficiently large offset, the different configurations exhibit collective macroscopic tunneling. For smaller o

Analysis and design of a GHz bandwidth adaptive bias circuit for an mmW Doherty amplifier

This paper derives theoretical results for adaptive bias in Doherty amplifiers and presents the design and measurements of an integrated adaptive bias circuit tailored for high peak-to-average high bandwidth signals. Fundamental equations for output power, impedance, and efficiency of the complete Doherty amplifier are derived. Even with ideal transistor models, the Doherty amplifier is fundamenta

CLOSE-RANGE DIRECTION OF ARRIVAL ESTIMATION IN THE PRESENCE OF CLOCK JITTER

Many forms of small-size radars suffer from minor clock oscillations due to crystalline impurities in their internal clocks, causing time-varying clock offsets between the transmitter and the receivers. This offset causes a bias and an increased variance in the positioning of close-range targets, limiting the achievable accuracy well beyond the expected estimation limitations. This performance is

ADAPTIVE GRID 2-D DIRECTION OF ARRIVAL ESTIMATION METHOD USING AN INTEGRATED DICTIONARY

This paper develops an adaptive grid two-dimensional (2-D) direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation technique employing an integrated dictionary framework. In contrast to using a traditional grid over distinct angles, combined angle information atoms are adopted to construct the dictionary, using a SPICE-based noise power estimate to select the active regions. To compensate for off-grid bias effects,

Osteopontin : A Key Multifaceted Regulator in Tumor Progression and Immunomodulation

The tumor microenvironment (TME) is composed of various cellular components such as tumor cells, stromal cells including fibroblasts, adipocytes, mast cells, lymphatic vascular cells and infiltrating immune cells, macrophages, dendritic cells and lymphocytes. The intricate interplay between these cells influences tumor growth, metastasis and therapy failure. Significant advancements in breast canc

Evaluation of Solidification/Stabilization Technology Performance by Combining Economic and Environmental Impacts Assessment for a Port in Sweden

The importance of reducing environmental impacts has gained speed in the contemporary global context. Stabilization/Solidification (S/S) has become a practical method for handling polluted dredged sediments to make them usable as a construction material. This study aims to evaluate the environmental and economic impacts of a 48,586 m2 port, with stabilized dredged sediment, by focusing on the prod

Efficacy of exercise interventions on prevention of sport-related concussion and related outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Objective To review the efficacy of exercise interventions on sport-related concussion (SRC) incidence, as well as on linear and rotational head accelerations, and isometric neck strength and to assess reporting completeness of exercise interventions using the Consensus on Exercise Reporting Template (CERT).Design Systematic review and meta-analysis, according to the Prisma in Exercise, Rehabilita

A story about how MR-imaging grew up in Lund.

Ett av mina första uppdrag som nybliven professor i Medicinsk Strålningsfysik vid Lunds Universitet var att i slutet av april 1981 åka till München för att delta i en Europeisk (EU) workshop om möjligheterna att reducera patient bestrålning vid röntgendiagnostik. Av deltagarna från Storbritannien framkom att man på flera håll i Storbritannien utvecklade metoder för medicinsk avbildning utan röntge

Historieämnet i grundskolan - ett diskussionsunderlag för en bättre ämnesplan

Skolan ska vara en plats för kreativ fostran, där unga människor växer till kloka,kunniga och fritt tänkande individer som lär sig att leva i ett samhälle. Därmed blirskolan något av det viktigaste vi har. Om skolan brister riskerar detta att få allvarligakonsekvenser för både individ och samhälle.Likväl finns det mycket som tyder på att svensk skola har allvarliga brister.Resultaten i internation

Development of a flat jet delivery system for soft X-ray spectroscopy at MAX IV

One of the most challenging aspects of X-ray research is the delivery of liquid sample flows into the soft X-ray beam. Currently, cylindrical microjets are the most commonly used sample injection systems for soft X-ray liquid spectroscopy. However, they suffer from several drawbacks, such as complicated geometry due to their curved surface. In this study, we propose a novel 3D-printed nozzle desig
