The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is the future observatory for ground-based imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. Each telescope will provide a snapshot of gamma-ray induced particle showers by capturing the induced Cherenkov emission at ground level. The simulation of such events provides camera images that can be used as training data for convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to differenti

Probabilistic models of imposed loads require adjustments to reflect current knowledge and experience. To do so, relevant data about their spatial and temporal variability must be collected. Structural Health Monitoring allows to estimate loads acting on bridges by measuring the relevant strains or deflections. Adapting this approach to buildings is not straightforward due to the increased complex

This chapter presents life cycle assessment (LCA) and its current and potential use as a tool of governance. LCA is considered as providing governance input in three different dimensions: (1) as results; (2) as a method; and (3) as a mindset. Life cycle approaches are increasingly informing policymaking and legislation, either as an abstract idea such as “the circular economy” or as calculation ru

INTRODUCTION: Maternal blood pressure (BP) is crucial for the health of both mother and fetus, with long-term implications for the child's health. Studies exploring the link between perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy often yield inconsistent results, frequently focusing on a single BP measurement rather than longitudinal measurements. This study chara

Evidence-based forensic research necessitates the creation of large and valid datasets. However, in our experience many departments face a challenge in how to extract this data from electronically archived records. This technical note describes a custom script created in the Python programming language. The program can extract data on decedent sex, age, body height, body weight, organ weight, orga

As the construction industry adopts more data-driven and sustainable practices, Building Information Modelling (BIM) is increasingly used for energy analysis, lifecycle management, and maintenance planning. However, its integration with service life performance analysis especially for wood, a material susceptible to environmental degradation remains limited. This study presents a BIM-based framewo

A survey including 3112 responses from individual end users of wood cladding, from Norway, Sweden and Germany, was conducted with questions related to their experience and preferences regarding cladding with and without coatings. Based on these results and established scientific understanding of Service Life Prediction (SLP) of wood cladding, two decision trees were provided to guide end users in

A necessary foundation for realizing circularity in the building sector is a good understanding of our existing building stock. This includes the design approaches and building codes used at the time of construction. The provisions in building codes have evolved from a heuristically adjusted permissible stress method to a semi-probabilistic safety format using partial safety factors. In addition,

for clarinet, bassoon, horn and trumpetImpossible colors is not a hypothesis, but rather more hyperbole. In this musical piece "impossible colors" refer to illusions of timbre in sound, not vision. Impossible colors are colors that we do not normally see; that some fictional colors are beyond the functional perceptual space of humans. Some theories looking at forbidden colors, borrowed from color

Group exhibitionThe hunt for intoxication is a human constant. What are we looking for in intoxication, especially if it is drug-based, and why do we knowingly accept the dangers? What promise does intoxication through cannabis offer? The hemp plant contains more than 150 active substances, of which the most common are THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol). How do these affect the brain

Group exhibitionUdstillingen Franciska Clausen og det underste land viser surrealismen som kunstnerisk metode til at navigere i en fragmenteret verden. Museum Sønderjylland har Danmarks vigtigste samling af dansk surrealisme. I denne visning vil museets hovedværker blive udstillet i dialog med Franciska Clausens værker.Udstillingen fremhæver kendte skikkelser som Vilhelm Bjerke-Petersen, Wilhelm F

The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) will be the next-generation observatory in the field of very-high-energy (20 GeV to 300 TeV) gamma-ray astroparticle physics. The traditional approach to data analysis in this field is to apply quality cuts, optimized using Monte Carlo simulations, on the data acquired to maximize sensitivity. Subsequent steps of the analysis typically use the surviving events t

Group exhibitionAn exhibition about apocalyptic thinking, despair, hope, and consolation in the Middle Ages and today, featuring live work by Tino Sehgal in de Kapel and works by Marina Abramović, Francis Alÿs, Joseph Beuys, Michaël Borremans, Miriam Cahn, Lucas Cranach I, Thierry De Cordier, Albrecht Dürer, Marlene Dumas and many others in the galleries.

Allmänbefolkningen exponeras dagligen för ett flertal organiska miljöföroreningar via exempelvis livsmedel, produkter och andra material. Till dessa hör bl a bekämpningsmedel och perfluorerade ämnen (PFAS) i livsmedel, ftalater i plastmaterial och kosmetika, flamskyddsmedel i stoppade möbler och byggnadsmaterial samt polyaromatiska kolväten (PAH) från fordonsavgaser. Genom analys av exponeringsbio

The detection of gravitational waves (GWs) from a binary neutron star (BNS) merger by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo (GW170817), along with the discovery of the electromagnetic counterparts of this GW event, ushered in a new era of multimessenger astronomy, providing the first direct evidence that BNS mergers are progenitors of short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Such events may also produce very-hig

Forests are vital ecosystems that support biodiversity, regulate climate, and provide economic and social value. Their resilience is strongly influenced by harvesting methods, with selective cutting and rotation forestry having noticeably different impacts on carbon dynamics. Understanding these effects requires accurate data on the number and location of felled trees. Although modern harvesters c
