We present a lightefficient multiplexed imaging setup that can be used with any monochrome camera and combine it with a highspeed camera to achieve highspeed multispectral imaging with no loss in capture rate or FOV.

In this paper, Safety Control Barrier Functions (SCBFs) were used to adjust the null-space compliant behavior of a redundant robot to improve safety in Human–Robot Collaboration (HRC) without modifying the robot behavior with respect to its main Cartesian task. A Lyapunov function was included in an energy storage formulation compatible with strict passivity to provide global asymptotic stability

Background: Survivors of childhood cancer may face difficulties at school. We investigated whether childhood cancer affects attainment of upper secondary education, in a register-based cohort study from Denmark, Finland, and Sweden, where we limit bias from selection and participation. Methods: From the national cancer registers, we identified all long-term survivors of childhood cancer diagnosed

The recommendation is based on the co-authors’ work organized by the RILEM TC 256-SPF “Spalling of concrete due to fire: testing and modelling”. The Committee has defined two types of screening tests for characterization of concrete propensity to fire spalling: Material screening tests and Product screening tests. Definitions of both types of tests are given in the paper. The following recommendat

This is an experiment the perceptual differences between full and contractedsemi-modals in English, i.e. the distinction of going to vs gonna and (HAVE) gotto vs gotta. It is a listen-and-repeat experiment and is informed by the findingsof a corpus study of the use of these forms in American English (AmE). It thusaims to integrate the social/variational and the cognitive sides of the phenomenon.

The sparse iterative covariance-based estimation (SPICE) algorithm is promising for hyperparameter-free sparse source location for time-division-multiplexing multiple-input-multiple-output (TDM-MIMO) radar systems, with well-documented merits in resolution enhancement and sidelobe suppression. Regrettably, the method typically requires a large number of iterations to converge, each requiring high-

To meet the ever-increasing user demand, eleven of the fifteen European Spallation Source (ESS) instruments under construction aim to offer polarised neutrons for user experiments. They include an imaging instrument, a SANS instruments, two reflectometers, three diffractometers, and four spectrometers. In conjunction with in-kind contributions and instrumentation grants, the ESS Polarisation Proje

There are many pedagogical methods to engage students in active learning. This paper presents Discussion Seminars, which is one such method that is much appreciated by students. This paper explains how to structure seminars and discusses their benefits and what requirements they put on the teacher. The paper aims to inspire other teachers to try something similar.

The calculation of heat and humidity load serves as the cornerstone of Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) design. Nevertheless, as the heat and humidity load characteristics of underground structures differ substantially from those of above-ground structures, it is a challenge to derive their accurate calculation procedure through engineering experience. Therefore, it is particularl

Interdependent critical infrastructure systems represent substantial financial investments and are vital to maintain a fundamental level of social and economic well-being, making them attractive targets for malevolent actors. Many of these infrastructure systems carry multiple products, each with unique needs and importance to different stakeholders. This work extends a tri-level protection-interd

Background: Weight gain and hypertension are well known adverse effects of treatment with high-dose glucocorticoids. Objective: To evaluate the effects of 2 years of low-dose glucocorticoid treatment in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Design: Pooled analysis of 5 randomized controlled trials with 2-year interventions allowing concomitant treatment with disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs. Setting: 12

Objective: The objective was to test the hypothesis that externalizing and internalizing helpfulness beliefs and learning styles at baseline moderate panic severity and overall mental illness as short-term and long-term outcomes of two panic-focused psychotherapies, Panic Control Treatment (PCT) and Panic-Focused Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (PFPP).Method: Participants were 108 adults with DSM-IV P

Introduction: Ampullary neuroendocrine neoplasia (NEN) is rare and evidence regarding their management is scarce. This study aimed to describe clinicopathological features, management, and prognosis of ampullary NEN according to their endoscopic or surgical management. Methods: From a multi-institutional international database, patients treated with either endoscopic papillectomy (EP), transduoden

I argue that the philosophy of Merleau-Ponty can help resolve a long-lasting problem, with continued relevance for philosophy, semiotics and linguistics: the dialectical relationship between pre-verbal consciousness and language. I proceed by reconstructing the development of his thought on the topic from the Phenomenology of Perception to his final writings. From an initial standpoint where langu

Bakgrund: Enligt Världshälsoorganisationen önskar kvinnor världen över föda med så få interventioner som möjligt. Barnmorskan ska främja den normala födselprocessen. Mätinstrumentet “the Bologna Score” (BS) togs fram år 2001 för att studera handläggandet av födslar utifrån barnmorskans kompetensområde. Mätinstrumentet mäter mellan noll och fem, ju närmare fem BS desto mer normal är födseln. Det är

Interacting systems of events may exhibit cascading behavior where events tend to be temporally clustered. While the cascades themselves may be obvious from the data, it is important to understand which states of the system trigger them. For this purpose, we propose a modeling framework based on continuous-time Bayesian networks (CTBNs) to analyze cascading behavior in complex systems. This framew
