This paper is concerned with the estimation of macroscopic properties such as the permittivity or the thermal conductivity of a composite material from the microstructure. A new method of estimating the microstructural parameters, such as the volume fraction of anisotropic two-phase composite material, is derived. The parameters are estimated using information from measurements of the random mater

AI-appar Vad skulle du vilja fråga Julius Caesar, Virginia Woolf, Adolf Hitler? På senare tid har flera AI- tjänster dykt upp som tillåter användaren att samtala med avlidna kändisar. Så inleds ett nytt kapitel i den både uråldriga och fåfänga drömmen om att kommunicera med de döda.

BACKGROUND. The reported prevalence of serious bacterial infections (SBI: urinary tract infection (UTI), bacteremia, and meningitis) among febrile infants ≤60 days of age varies from 8% to 23%. There are indications that the prevalence of infections differs between the sexes. Infants with fever at home but afebrile at the pediatric emergency department (PED) might have a lower risk of SBIs. Furthe

The academic response to Bourdieu's sociology of law has mainly followed his Weberian focus on the role of legal professionals in state transformations. However, rereading Bourdieu's “The Force of Law” through the lens of its references and relating it to the sociology of law “of the moment” (i.e. that of the 1980s), it becomes clear that Bourdieu's sociology of law is more sophisticated than has

The pre-dispute phase, during which justiciable problems may or may not emerge and transform into legal cases, is complex. Based on a meta-ethnography of 572 articles, all of which apply or refer to Felstiner et al.’s pioneering linear framework of naming, blaming, and claiming, we analysed the many sorting mechanisms that are at play in the pre-dispute phase. We identified the institutional, poli

The recital is focused on my research involving contemporary voice. My approach to singing research is becoming more systematic as the result of beginning to work on concepts central to the extra-normal voice, term coined by Michael Edward Edgerton. This approach to voice is based on voice science, the aims of which are to investigate the boundaries and/or limits of vocal sound production. In this

Induced polarization (IP) is a common method in ore exploration. IP spectra measured over a wide frequency range can be used to characterize material properties of ores, slags and other residual material from mines and processing facilities. Previous studies have shown that IP parameters are sensitive to type, content or grain size of electronically conductive or semi-conductive minerals. Up to no

The 2018–2019 Central European drought was probably the most extreme in Germany since the early sixteenth century. We assess the multiple consequences of the drought for natural systems, the economy and human health in the German part of the Elbe River basin, an area of 97,175 km2 including the cities of Berlin and Hamburg and contributing about 18% to the German GDP. We employ meteorological, hyd

This study presents a fresh, humanistic perspective into the worldview of a rarely studied group: The Sweden Democrats. Having entered the Swedish Parliament in 2010, the Sweden Democrats are a controversial nationalist-populist party, and they are currently the only major party in Sweden rejecting the country’s famed multiculturalism model. The Sweden Democrats, and other Swedes who are openly cr

Joel Penney made an innovative, interdisciplinary intervention into the scholarship on political participation with The Citizen Marketer: Promoting Political Opinion in the Social Media Age. By melding modern marketing frameworks with democratic theory, Penney offered a timely heuristic for rethinking citizens’ engagement with politics on social media. The “citizen marketer approach” developed in

Social media has opened up a new tactical front for political campaigns, and the 2017 General Election showed how citizens – armed with smartphones, computers, and tablets – actively enlisted their support in the online electoral battleground. In this report, we look at how Labour supporters leveraged the platform-specific features of different social media to widely promote their favored candidat
