Front- and backstage in social media

Oversharing of information about one's private life or the private lives of others appears to be an oft-noted phenomenon in the context of social media. This paper aims at answering the following question: What is it in social media as media and in the communicative situation of the person using them that facilitate oversharing of private information? A comparative analysis of face-to-face interac

The Anatomy and Physics of Z(DR) Columns: Investigating a Polarimetric Radar Signature with a Spectral Bin Microphysical Model

Polarimetric radar observations of deep convective storms frequently reveal columnar enhancements of differential reflectivity Z(DR). Such "Z(DR) columns" can extend upward more than 3 km above the environmental 0 C level, indicative of supercooled liquid drops being lofted by the updraft. Previous observational and modeling studies of Z(DR) columns are reviewed. To address remaining questions, th

On the sensitivity of rotational CARS N-2 thermometry to the Herman-Wallis factor

Purely rotational spectral signals of coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) from nitrogen molecules are studied as a function of the vibration-rotation interaction that weakens the rigid rotor approximation under which the dominant terms of the Raman cross section are calculated. The effect of the vibration-rotation interaction is quantified by means of the Herman-Wallis (HW) factor, and di

Internal and External Knowledge and Introduction of Export Varieties

Firms in local industries maintain their capability to generate new export varieties by simultaneously exploiting internal and external knowledge resources. The paper introduces the notion variety triplet' to distinguish individual export varieties, where a triplet is a unique combination of a firm, a product code and a destination country. For each date, the set of variety triplets in each local

Measurement of t(t)over-bar production with a veto on additional central jet activity in pp collisions at root s=7 TeV using the ATLAS detector

A measurement of the jet activity in t (t) over bar events produced in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV is presented, using 2.05 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity collected by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The t (t) over bar events are selected in the dilepton decay channel with two identified b-jets from the top quark decays. Events are vetoed if they

Early life factors and being overweight at 4 years of age among children in Malmo, Sweden

Background: Rising rates of obesity and overweight is an increasing public health problem all over the world. Recent research has shown the importance of early life factors in the development of child overweight. However, to the best of our knowledge there are no studies investigating the potential synergistic effect of early life factors and presence of parental overweight on the development of c

RF Spatial Modulation Using Antenna Arrays

A new method of spatial linear modulation is presented for the RF signal modulation. The constant envelope and phase modulated signals are transmitted to an antenna array and then combined in space; the linear modulation is realized at the same time. The concentric antenna pairs are applied to eliminate the mismatch of phase delay among the modulated signals from different antenna pairs. The measu

Octave illusion elicited by overlapping narrowband noises.

The octave or Deutsch illusion occurs when two tones, separated by about one octave, are presented simultaneously but alternating between ears, such that when the low tone is presented to the left ear the high tone is presented to the right ear and vice versa. Most subjects hear a single tone that alternates both between ears and in pitch; i.e., they hear a low pitched tone in one ear alternating

Sparse Estimation Of Spectroscopic Signals

This work considers the semi-parametric estimation of sparse spec- troscopic signals, aiming to form a detailed spectral representation of both the frequency content and the spectral line widths of the oc- curring signals. Extending on the recent FOCUSS-based SLIM al- gorithm, we propose an alternative prior for a Bayesian formulation of this sparse reconstruction method, exploiting a proposed sui

Solubilization of sphingomyelin vesicles by addition of a bile salt.

The interactions of the bile salt sodium taurocholate (TC) in 50mM Trizma-HCl buffer and 150mM NaCl (pH 9) at 37 degrees C with membranes composed of sphingomyelin (SM) were studied by dynamic light scattering, cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) and turbidity measurements. Small unilamellar SM vesicles were prepared by extrusion. Below the CMC of TC, taurocholate addition leads

Ultrafast charge delocalization dynamics in aqueous electrolytes: New insights from Auger electron spectroscopy

We review the basic principles of ultrafast charge delocalization phenomena in aqueous electrolytes following core-level photoionization and resonant core-level excitations, and describe how these processes can be probed using Auger electron spectroscopy. The use of the core-hole clock method to extract dynamical information from Auger spectra is described. By a number of examples we demonstrate h

Cost of illness studies on reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health: a systematic literature review.

The term ?reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health (RMNCH)? describes an integrated continuum of health states which is central to Millennium Development Goals 4 and 5. While the burden of mortality and morbidity associated with RMNCH is well known, knowledge is still limited about the economic burden of RMNCH. Concrete evidence of cost of illness (COI) of RMNCH may help policy makers in

Changes and sex differences in patient reported outcomes in rheumatoid factor positive RA-results from a community based study.

Patient reported outcomes (PROs) are important measures in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). A register of patients with RA from all rheumatology care providers in Malmö, Sweden, was established in 1997 and has been continually updated. This register includes virtually all the RA patients in the area. The aim of this study was to analyse PROs in surveys of this population conducted between 1997 and 2009,
