Swash flows are commonly modeled using the nonlinear shallow water equations (NSWEs). In the derivation of the NSWEs, directly from depth-averaging the Navier-Stokes equations, a so-called momentum correction factor, β, emerges. In this study we present a numerical model of the NSWEs that includes β, which is allowed to vary in space and time, and feedback onto the flow. We apply this model to a s
Lakes help increase the sustainability of the natural environment and decrease food chain risk, agriculture, ecosystem services, and leisure recreational activities locally and globally. Reliable simulation of monthly lake water levels is still an ongoing demand for multiple environmental and hydro-informatics engineering applications. The current research aims to utilize newly developed hybrid da
Evaporation is one of the main components of the hydrological cycle, and its estimation is crucial and important for water resources management issues. Access to a reliable estimator tool for evaporation simulation is important in arid and semi-arid areas such as Iran, which lose more than 70% of their received precipitation by evaporation. Current research employs the Bayesian Regularization (BR)
The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of quantitative ultrasound of fetal lung texture analysis in predicting neonatal respiratory morbidity (NRM) in twin pregnancies. This was an ambispective study involving consecutive cases. Eligible cases included twin pregnancies between 27.0 and 38.6 weeks of gestation, for which an ultrasound image of the fetal thorax was obtained with
We present data from two online human-robot interaction experiments where 227 participants viewed videos of a humanoid robot exhibiting faulty or non-faulty behaviours while either remaining mute or speaking. The participants were asked to evaluate their perception of the robot's trustworthiness, as well as its likeability, animacy, and perceived intelligence. The results show that, while a non-fa
There is no inherent meaning in endurance experiences. The experience is accorded meaning in dialogue with the world around us. In this critical exploration of endurance running, endurance runners’ accounts of their consumption of endurance are analysed to reveal what they indicate about contemporary society. The findings question the idea - prevalent in consumer research - that endurance experien
Aims: Information on standards including structure- and process-based metrics and how exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (EBCR) is delivered in relation to guidelines is lacking. The aims of the study were to evaluate standards and adherence to guidelines at Swedish CR centers and to conduct a cost analysis of the physiotherapy-related activities of EBCR. Methods and Results: EBCR standards at
Exponering för vibrationer genom användning av handhållna maskiner i arbetet kan ge vibrationsskador i händerna. Dessa skador kan ofta vara förödande för den drabbades möjligheter att utföra sitt arbete, innebära ett stort personligt lidande samt stora samhälleliga kostnader då det inte sällan innebär behov av omplacering.Denna rapport är en del av projektet Noll Vibrationsskador, vilket har haft
The filtered backprojection (FBP) algorithm is viewed as a preferred candidate for general bistatic synthetic aperture radar (BiSAR) imaging since it does not pose any restrictions on SAR configurations or flight paths. However, high-efficient autofocus methods such as phase gradient autofocus (PGA) or Mapdrift (MD) cannot be effectively integrated with the FBP algorithm due to the unknown propert
Food allergies are a growing health problem that generate high costs for health systems. Food allergies have a prevalence of 6-8% in children and 2-3% in adults, which is increasing in the last 10 years due to industrialization. The wide variety of ingredients containing food allergens, in combination with the high number of product formulations and processing methods to produce food makes allerge
This study investigates the link between the personality profiles and socio-demographic characteristics of wine consumers and the sensory characteristics of the wines they prefer. This was measured in terms of a self-reported list of the wines they like and buy. The 1176 Italian adults who participated were asked to complete an online form. Information was collected regarding certain socio-demogra
Understanding individual risk taking is an important topic in Africa, as access to financial institutions and social security is scarce, and where markets and government policies largely fail to understand investment decisions of poor households. Data on risk attitudes in Africa is limited and the available data collected might not be reliable.

The 10 000 m speedskating event during the 2022 winter Olympics brought a new world record at 12 min and 30.74 s. In a document released after the competitions, the gold medalist Nils van der Poel describes his technique, including a focus on horizontal forces and a rapid sideways motion in connection with stride changes on the straight sections of the track (the ‘straightaways’). Based on a video
The paper Pendulum: the partial and global approach combines a historic introduction to the theoretical treatment of pendulum motion with presentation of data from measurements on a single pendulum. This comment focuses on the presentation and analysis of experimental data, and how the use of dimensionless variables in graphs would make use of the mathematical properties, placing the single measur
Protein complex formation is encoded by specific interactions at the atomic scale, but the computational cost of modeling proteins at this level often requires use of simplified energy models and limited conformational flexibility. In particular, use of all-atom energy functions and backbone and side-chain flexibility results in rugged energy landscapes that are difficult to explore. In this study
The development of technologies to generate cell lines producing monoclonal antibodies of human origin has a great impact on the ability to study repertoires of specificities in the humoral immune response. Furthermore, it permits the generation of reagents which may be valuable for diagnostic and therapeutic applications and which lack some of the disadvantages of similar murine antibodies. In th
