This past Friday, the architect of the Iranian nuclear program, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, was assassinated in a well-organized raid 70 km outside the city of Tehran. A commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Fakhrizadeh headed the important Organization of Defensive Innovation and Research of the Ministry of Defense, which conducted nuclear weapons research. His killing reflects a maj
Brottsofferfrågor är ofta rättspolitiskt laddade och komplexa. Efter terrordådet på Drottninggatan i Stockholm 2017 aktualiserades frågan om Sverige lever upp till EU:s terrorismdirektiv om skydd av, stöd till och rättigheter för offer för terrorism. Tidigare har Brottsoffermyndigheten dragit av 1500 kronor på det belopp som fastställs vara skäligt och som ska ge brottsoffret kompensation för det
This thesis is a grammar of Kalamang, a Papuan language of western New Guinea in the east of Indonesia. It is spoken by around 130 people on the biggest of the Karas Islands. This grammar is based on 11 months of fieldwork. The primary source of data is a corpus of more than 15 hours of spoken Kalamang recorded and transcribed between 2015 and 2019. The grammar covers a wide range of topics beyond
Lighting control systems have been traditionally employed to reduce energy use for lighting by, for example, maximizing daylight harvesting. When highly efficient light sources are installed and for tasks where maintaining target illuminance is particularly important, designers may decide to prioritize the latter together with energy use. In this context, the use of data-driven algorithms is emerg
Although the Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission (TRMM) has come to an end, the evaluation of TRMM satellite precipitation is still of great significance for the improvement of the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM). In this paper, the hydrological utility of TRMM Multi-satellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA) 3B42 RTV7/V7 precipitation products was evaluated using the variable infiltration c
Methane emissions from natural wetlands tend to increase with temperature and therefore may lead to a positive feedback under future climate change. However, their temperature response includes confounding factors and appears to differ on different time scales. Observed methane emissions depend strongly on temperature on a seasonal basis, but if the annual mean emissions are compared between sites
This paper introduces the new ForestValue research project CLICKdesign – delivering fingertip knowledge to enable service life performance specification of wood. This European consortium is working on the primary innovation to move from the complex, fragmented and general to the easy-to-use, consolidated and specific by provision of an accessible digital tool for specifiers. Competing materials ta
Recent developments in photonics include efficient nanoscale optoelectronic components and novel methods for subwavelength light manipulation. Here, we explore the potential offered by such devices as a substrate for neuromorphic computing. We propose an artificial neural network in which the weighted connectivity between nodes is achieved by emitting and receiving overlapping light signals inside
We measured the Coulomb dissociation of 16O into 4He and 12C at the R3B setup in a first campaign within FAIR Phase 0 at GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung, Darmstadt. The goal was to improve the accuracy of the experimental data for the 12C(a,?)16O fusion reaction and to reach lower center-ofmass energies than measured so far. The experiment required beam intensities of 109 16O ions pe
School bullying among young adolescents is a globally pervasive problem, but is less common when bystanders are motivated to defend victims. Thus, the focus of this experimental study is on motivation to defend victims of bullying. Methods: 388 students (Mage = 12.22 years, 49.7% girls) from two Turkish public schools (5th to 8th grade) participated in a vignette experiment. Students were randomiz
Objective: To identify predictors of prediabetes using feature selection and machine learning on a nationally representative sample of the US population. Materials and methods: We analyzed n = 6346 men and women enrolled in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2013-2014. Prediabetes was defined using American Diabetes Association guidelines. The sample was randomly partitioned to Objective: To identify predictors of prediabetes using feature selection and machine learning on a nationally representative sample of the US population.

The largest part of this collection is linguistic material, including video-recorded conversations and narratives, elicited words and sentences, a lexicon, and recordings of people interacting with different stimulus materials like picture books or short video clips. A large part of the audiovisual and elicited material is translated into English and Papuan Malay and analysed at morpheme level. In
This is a small collection of linguistic materials in Geser-Gorom (ISO639-3:ges), a language spoken in eastern Seram and on the islands off the eastern Seram coast, Seram Bagian Timur regency, Maluku province, Indonesia (-3.717798, 130.767276).All recordings were made in Mas village, Karas islands, Fakfak regency, West Papua province, Indonesia, which has several Geser-Gorom speakers and at the ti
This is a small collection of linguistic material in Uruangnirin (ISO639-3:urn), a language spoken on the two eastern Karas Islands, in the villages Tarak, Tuburuasa, Faur and Kiaba, Fakfak regency, West-Papua province, Indonesia (-3.424480, 132.744455).Lexicon and a grammar questionnaire collected in 2018 and 2019 (Uruangnirin_collection) when the researcher was working on the other language of t
