Central Limit Theorem for Lipschitz-Killing curvatures of excursion sets Gaussian fields

Our interest in this paper is to explore limit theorems for various geometric functionals of excursion sets of isotropic Gaussian random fields. In the past, asymptotics of nonlinear functionals of Gaussian random fields have been studied [see Berman (Sojourns and extremes of stochastic processes, Wadsworth & Brooks, Monterey, 1991), Kratz and León (Extremes 3(1):57–86, 2000), Kratz and León (

High-frequency asymptotics for Lipschitz–Killing curvatures of excursion sets on the sphere

In this paper, we shall be concerned with geometric functionals and excursion probabilities for some nonlinear transforms evaluated on Fourier components of spherical random fields. In particular, we consider both random spherical harmonics and their smoothed averages, which can be viewed as random wavelet coefficients in the continuous case. For such fields, we consider smoothed polynomial transf

A note on global suprema of band-limited spherical random functions

In this note, we investigate the behaviour of suprema for band-limited spherical random fields. We prove upper and lower bound for the expected values of these suprema, by means of metric entropy arguments and discrete approximations; we then exploit the Borell–TIS inequality to establish almost sure upper and lower bounds for their fluctuations. Band limited functions can be viewed as restriction

Random fields and the geometry of Wiener space

In this work we consider infinite dimensional extensions of some finite dimensional Gaussian geometric functionals called the Gaussian Minkowski functionals. These functionals appear as coefficients in the probability content of a tube around a convex set D⊂RkD⊂Rk under the standard Gaussian law N(0,Ik×k)N(0,Ik×k). Using these infinite dimensional extensions, we consider geometric properties of so

The clinical impact of tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes in colorectal cancer differs by anatomical subsite : A cohort study

Accumulating evidence demonstrates an association between dense infiltration of lymphocytes and prognosis in colorectal cancer (CRC), but whether this prognostic impact differs by tumour location remains unknown. This study investigated the prognostic impact of cytotoxic and regulatory T cells in CRC, with particular reference to the anatomical subsite of the primary tumour. The density of CD3+, C

Electrification of city bus traffic : - a simulation study based on data from Linköping

Flexibla och ekonomiska system för eldrift av vägfordon är ett område med aktiv utveckling och forskning.Denna rapport tillämpar sådana system för drift av stadsbussar i Linköping. En programvara försimulering och ekonomisk optimering av sådana system har använts och några systemkonstruktionerpresenteras. Programvaran utvecklades i ett tidigare projekt på LTH. De testade systemen skiljer sig ivaleFlexible and economic systems for electric operation of road vehicles is an area of interest for researchand development. This report applies such systems to the operation of city buses in Linköping. An LTHdeveloped software for simulations and economic optimizations of such systems is used and a few systemdesigns are presented. The tested systems differ in selection of bus lines and the type of c

Si measurements : SiOx on Si

We review the results of silicon measurements, which we have performed on suboxide SiOx formed on n and p type Si wafers with different surface textures. Localized vibrational modes through Raman and FTIR, light emission properties by photoluminescence (PL), energy critical points for optical transitions, excited state dynamics and non-linear electrical properties can be used as effective methods

Line search for generalized alternating projections

This paper is about line search for the generalized alternating projections (GAP) method. This method is a generalization of the von Neumann alternating projections method, where instead of alternating projections, relaxed projections are alternated. The method can be interpreted as an averaged iteration of a nonexpansive mapping. Therefore, a recently proposed line search method for such algorith

Ischemic stroke rates decline in patients with atrial fibrillation as anticoagulants uptake improves : A Swedish cohort study

Introduction The impact of the increased anticoagulants uptake on incidence rate of ischemic stroke is largely unknown. We assessed time trends in rates of ischemic stroke in patients with incident atrial fibrillation (AF) diagnosed between 2011 and 2013. Materials and methods Population-based retrospective registry study of all 11,500 adults diagnosed with incident non-valvular atrial fibrillatio

Pharmacological treatment of oro-facial pain - health technology assessment including a systematic review with network meta-analysis

This health technology assessment evaluated the efficacy of pharmacological treatment in patients with oro-facial pain. Randomised controlled trials were included if they reported pharmacological treatment in patients ≥18 years with chronic (≥3 months) oro-facial pain. Patients were divided into subgroups: TMD-muscle [temporomandibular disorders (TMD) mainly associated with myalgia]; TMD-joint (TM

Nonlinear Air-Path Control of a Heavy-Duty Diesel Engine—A Receding Horizon Sliding Control Approach

Precise air-path control of heavy-duty diesel engines contributes to emission regulation and high engine efficiency. The air path with VGT and EGR system is highly nonlinear with non-minimum-phase-system properties. The authors present a nonlinear control design - Receding Horizon Sliding Control (RHSC) to solve the tracking problem of the air-path. This control method handles the nonlinear dynami

A force for peace : Expanding the role of the UN secretary-general under Trygve Lie, 1946-1953

The UN Charter describes him or her merely as the “chief administrative officer of the organization,” yet today the Secretary-General is widely recognized as the UN’s chief political representative. How did this transformation and expansion of the office from administrative to political take place? Existing scholarship tends to emphasize the contribution made by Dag Hammarskjöld. This article chal

Sustaining Legitimacy and Trust in a Data-Driven Society

Securing the continued growth of the digital economy will largely depend on how we manage consumer data, and which operators and tools we use to moderate, analyze and trade that data, according to guest author Stefan Larsson of Lund University Internet Institute. If users were to begin to perceive the collection and handling of their personal data as illegitimate, he argues, their trust in digital

Veto player theory and reform making in Western Europe

Veto player theory generates predictions about governments' capacity for policy change. Due to the difficulty of identifying significant laws needed to change the policy status quo, evidence about governments' ability to change policy has been mostly provided for a limited number of reforms and single-country studies. To evaluate the predictive power of veto player theory for policy making across

A developmental etiological model for drug abuse in men

Background We attempt to develop a relatively comprehensive structural model of risk factors for drug abuse (DA) in Swedish men that illustrates developmental and mediational processes. Methods We examined 20 risk factors for DA in 48,369 men undergoing conscription examinations in 1969–70 followed until 2011 when 2.34% (n = 1134) of them had DA ascertained in medical, criminal and pharmacy regist

The P1 histo-blood group antigen is present on human red blood cell glycoproteins

Background: The P1 antigen was first described in 1927 but not categorized with the Pk antigen in the P1PK histo-blood group system until 2010. Individuals of P1 phenotype have both the Pk and P1 antigens on their red blood cell (RBC) surface, while P2 individuals lack P1 and have lower amounts of Pk. Like in the ABO system, the antigens are carbohydrate epitopes built up stepwise by glycosyltrans

Higher risk of revision for infection using systemic clindamycin prophylaxis than with cloxacillin : A report from the Swedish Knee Arthroplasty Register on 78,000 primary total knee arthroplasties for osteoarthritis

Background and purpose — Clindamycin has not been compared with other antibiotics for prophylaxis in arthroplasty. Since 2009, the Swedish Knee Arthroplasty Register (SKAR) has been collecting information on the prophylactic antibiotic regime used at every individual operation. In Sweden, when there is allergy to penicillin, clindamycin has been the recommended alternative. We examined whether the
