This book is designed to help practitioners understand the growing potential for the use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) to improve Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) outcomes in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations sector. Through a series of cutting-edge practical cases, an international team of researchers and practitioners examine the benefits, barriers, and ch
This study presents the first direct measurement of aluminum monohydride (AlH) distribution and dynamics during aluminum combustion. Single micron-sized aluminum droplets were burned in a controlled H₂O/N₂/O₂ environment to ensure repeatable conditions. A dual-wavelength laser absorption imaging system is used to quantify the AlH concentration with high temporal and spatial resolution. The results
Introduction The recognition of breathlessness in clinical practice appears suboptimal, despite its prevalence and impact. This study aimed to explore the content of clinical conversations about breathlessness and patients’ level of self-reported openness when discussing their breathlessness. Methods A cross-sectional, online survey of Australian adults (≥18 years) stratified to the 2016 National
This study examines the self-assembly and lyotropic aqueous phase behavior of galactose- (GC) and rhamnose-based (RC) bioinspired glycolipids with C10and C14alkyl chains using small-angle X-ray scattering and wide-angle X-ray scattering measurements. In the isotropic micellar regime (L1), ellipsoidal micelles were identified, with their size and aggregation number mainly controlled by the surfacta
This study investigates how changes in temperature affect the secondary organic aerosol (SOA) phase state. SOA was formed by α-pinene ozonolysis in an atmospheric simulation chamber at temperatures (T0) in the range of 257–283 K at RH0< 20%. After more than 14 h of SOA aging, one or more heating and cooling ramps were performed. Upon heating, we observe that the onset of evaporative SOA shrinkage
Sparse tensor computations suffer from irregular memory access patterns that degrade cache performance. While software prefetching can mitigate this, existing compiler approaches lack the semantic insight needed for effective optimization. We present ASaP, an automatic software prefetching framework integrated within MLIR’s sparse tensor dialect. By leveraging semantic information-tensor formats a
Passive seismic data were acquired together with active seismic data along a 2.8 km long profile in the Sudret area of Gotland, Sweden, as part of a feasibility study for storage of CO2 below the Baltic Sea. Seismic interferometry using cross-correlation and cross-coherence was employed on the passive seismic data. Cross-correlation was used to retrieve virtual shot gathers containing mainly surfa
How travellers perceive the quality of public transport services has profound influence on their satisfaction and thus of their inclination to choose this mode of transport. Punctuality, which may be interpreted as timetable adherence or overall travel time predictability, is often pointed out as the most important constituent of overall service reliability of public transport systems. However, in
This study examines the long-term socioeconomic impacts of 44 train station openings between 1995 and 2015 across Swedish regions. Using the conditional difference-in-differences estimator developed by Callaway and Sant'Anna (2021), which accounts for variation in treatment effects across time and locations, we evaluate the impact on population, income, education, and unemployment. Twenty years af
The railway transport system has seen an increasing demand in recent years, while delays and missed punctuality goals continue to be problems in many countries. To improve punctuality, the amount of primary delays needs to be decreased, and knowledge of the shares of the different types of delay – entry, run, and dwell – is important to identify the most efficient countermeasures. This paper inves
Phosphorene, a 2D allotrope of phosphorus, is technologically very appealing because of its semiconducting properties and narrow bandgap. Further reduction of the phosphorene dimensionality may spawn exotic properties of its electronic structure, including lateral quantum confinement and topological edge states. It is demonstrated that dispersions measured along and perpendicular to the phosphoren
This paper studies how cultural heritage influences the differences in risk taking in financial markets. We combine data on the asset allocation of second-generation immigrants in Sweden with risk taking culture in their parents’ countries of origin. We find that descendants of risk loving cultures are more likely to participate in equity markets, and, conditional on participation, allocate a larg
