COVID-19, livestock systems and food security in developing countries : a systematic review of an emerging literature

In this paper, we carried out a systematic literature review to document the emerging scientific knowledge about COVID-19 impact on livestock systems and food security in developing countries to identify gaps and possible avenues for future research undertakings. Specifically, we systematically reviewed 68 peer-reviewed articles extracted based on rigorous selection criteria fromScopus, PubMed and

MTP-GO: Graph-Based Probabilistic Multi-Agent Trajectory Prediction with Neural ODEs

Enabling resilient autonomous motion planning requires robust predictions of surrounding road users' future behavior. In response to this need and the associated challenges, we introduce our model titled MTP-GO. The model encodes the scene using temporal graph neural networks to produce the inputs to an underlying motion model. The motion model is implemented using neural ordinary differential equ

Evaluation of Differentially Constrained Motion Models for Graph-Based Trajectory Prediction

Given their flexibility and encouraging performance, deep-learning models are becoming standard for motion prediction in autonomous driving. However, with great flexibility comes a lack of interpretability and possible violations of physical constraints. Accompanying these data-driven methods with differentially-constrained motion models to provide physically feasible trajectories is a promising f

Troubling the Chinese Tiger Mom

When interviewing parents in Beijing and Shanghai about strategies surrounding their children’s education, one reoccurring topic was the parenting style of the “tiger mom” (虎妈, huma). Depicted as a mother who does everything for her child, but also demands everything from the child, the tiger mom takes on the status of a “fetishized other,” upholding unattainable standards of discipline, endurance

Cassel, Ohlin, Åkerman, and the Wall Street Crash of 1929

The 1929 stock market crash on Wall Street is one of the most spectacular economic events of all times. In Sweden, leading economists got involved in a lively debate on the events on Wall Street before, during, and after the crash. Three of them were particularly active. Gustav Cassel and Bertil Ohlin were not overly worried since they regarded the stock market mania and the panic as phenomena mor

Analysis of Proteins, Biologics, and Nanoparticles in Biological Fluids Using Asymmetrical Flow Field-Flow Fractionation

With the increasing interest in biopharmaceuticals such as proteins, antibodies, and nucleic acids, there is a corresponding increase in the need for characterizing such components. Much effort is spent on characterization in the early drug development phases as well as during formulation development and quality control. One parameter that is commonly investigated is the size distribution of the m

Modelling the effect of different core sizes and magnetic interactions inside magnetic nanoparticles on hyperthermia performance

We present experimental intrinsic loss power (ILP) values, measured at an excitation frequency of 1 MHz and at relatively low field amplitudes of 3.4–9.9 kA/m, as a function of the mean core diameter, for selected magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). The mean core sizes ranged from ca. 8 nm to 31 nm. Transmission electron microscopy indicated that those with smaller core sizes (less than ca. 22 nm) were

En guide till Apostlagärningarna

Bibelguiden ger vägledning in i Nya testamentets böcker. Serien är en hjälp för den som vill utveckla sin relation till Bibeln – till djupare förståelse för vad texten betydde för de ursprungliga mottagarna och djupare efterföljelse i det egna livet. Utformningen med korta kärnfulla kapitel och ett omfångsrikt frågematerial gör att den lämpar sig väl både för bibelstudiegrupper och enskild bibellä

Evaluation of copper content in beers obtained from retail in Sweden

A quantitative study of copper (Cu) content in 19 different beer brands produced in mainly European countries and consumed in Sweden were measured using atomic absorption spectrophotometer without sample digestion. Results showed that the Cu content in beers is below the permissible levels concentrations for potable drinking water recommended by World Health Organization. In addition, the studies

Starch and other polysaccharides

Polysaccharides constitute one of the major groups of biological macromolecules and they include some of the most abundant macromolecules in nature. In this chapter instrumental considerations when analyzing polysaccharides with flow field-flow fractionation (flow FFF) are briefly discussed. Furthermore, an overview of characterized properties is given with special attention to multi angle light s

Flow FFF–basics and key applications

The 1990s and 2000s have seen a rapidly growing use of flow field-flow fractionation (flow FFF, FlFFF). As of today hundreds of publications in many different application areas are presented each year in which flow FFF has been used or is referred to. In this chapter a brief historical overview of flow FFF is given. Channel designs and basic principles are discussed as well as approaches to develo
