Spectral flow for pair compatible equipartitions
We show that a recent spectral flow approach proposed by Berkolaiko–Cox–Marzuola for analyzing the nodal deficiency of the nodal partition associated to an eigenfunction can be extended to more general partitions. To be more precise, we work with spectral equipartitions that satisfy a pair compatible condition. Nodal partitions and spectral minimal partitions are examples of such partitions. Along
Survival, causes of death and recurrence up to 3 years after stroke : A population-based study
Background and purpose: Up-to-date population-based information about long-term survival, causes of death and recurrence after stroke is needed. Methods: Four hundred consecutive individuals in a population-based cohort of first-ever stroke between 2015 and 2016 in Lund, Sweden, were followed up to 3 years regarding (i) survival (Swedish Population Register); (ii) causes of death (Swedish Causes o
MRI Characteristics of Pediatric Renal Tumors : A SIOP-RTSG Radiology Panel Delphi Study
Background: The SIOP-Renal Tumor Study Group (RTSG) does not advocate invasive procedures to determine histology before the start of therapy. This may induce misdiagnosis-based treatment initiation, but only for a relatively small percentage of approximately 10% of non-Wilms tumors (non-WTs). MRI could be useful for reducing misdiagnosis, but there is no global consensus on differentiating charact
Online conferencing in the midst of COVID-19 : an “already existing experiment” in academic internationalization without air travel
Academia, as many other sectors, has faced wide-ranging disruptions due to COVID-19, with teaching and research activity conducted entirely online in many countries. Before the pandemic grounded travel, academics were often hypermobile, some traveling more than 150,000 kilometers per year for conferences, board meetings, collaborations, fieldwork,seminars, and lectures. It is no surprise then that
Testing Self-Adaptive Software with Probabilistic Guarantees on Performance Metrics : Extended and Comparative Results
This paper discusses methods to test the performance of the adaptation layer in a self-adaptive system. The problem is notoriously hard, due to the high degree of uncertainty and variability inherent in an adaptive software application. In particular, providing any type of formal guarantee for this problem is extremely difficult. In this paper we propose the use of a rigorous probabilistic approac
Are structural abnormalities on knee MRI associated with osteophyte development? Data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative
Objective: To assess which structural abnormalities on knee MRI are associated with development of osteophytes in middle-aged subjects without radiographic knee osteoarthritis. Design: We included subjects from the Osteoarthritis Initiative, aged 40–55 years, Kellgren & Lawrence grade 0 in both knees, and knee MRIs from both knees available at baseline, 24, 48 and 72 months. Structural exposur

High cycle fatigue behaviour of autoclave-cured woven carbon fibre-reinforced polymer composite gears
The high cycle fatigue behaviour of autoclave-cured carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite gears is investigated. The CFRP gears were milled from a composite plate and tested in mesh with a steel drive gear under five torque loads ranging between 0.4 and 0.8 Nm in unlubricated conditions. A detailed gear damage analysis is conducted by employing scanning electron microscopy and high-reso

Internationalisation of higher education: Impacts, challenges and future possibilities
This special issue follows on from a special call for contributions tothe ECER 2016 conference in Dublin on the need to rethink andreconceptualise internationalisation in higher education (HE). Thepapers in this special issue contribute to a critically reflectiveinterdisciplinary discussion on the phenomena ofinternationalisation in terms of the evolution of the structures,systems, and functions o
The micrometeorite flux to Earth through the Phanerozoic Eon : Reconstructed using sediment-dispersed extraterrestrial spinels
The purpose of this thesis is to add an astronomical component to the history and evolution of Earth by reconstructing the micrometeorite flux to Earth at different time intervals during the Phanerozoic Eon, using sediment-dispersed extraterrestrial spinel group minerals as a proxy. Chromite and chrome spinel are common refractory members of the spinel group, occurring in both extraterrestrial and

Strengthening antimicrobial resistance diagnostic capacity in rural rwanda : A feasibility assessment
Introduction: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global public health threat. Worse still, there is a paucity of data from low-and middle-income countries to inform rational antibiotic use. Objective: Assess the feasibility of setting up microbiology capacity for AMR testing and estimate the cost of setting up microbiology testing capacity at rural district hospitals in Rwanda. Methods: Laborator
Mortality from gastrointestinal congenital anomalies at 264 hospitals in 74 low-income, middle-income, and high-income countries : a multicentre, international, prospective cohort study
Background: Congenital anomalies are the fifth leading cause of mortality in children younger than 5 years globally. Many gastrointestinal congenital anomalies are fatal without timely access to neonatal surgical care, but few studies have been done on these conditions in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). We compared outcomes of the seven most common gastrointestinal congenital anoma
Coal and Sugar : The Black and White Gold of Czech Industrialization (1841-1863)
This article studies the fast fossil fuel transition in the context of steam adoption in the Czech lands. I show how geographical proximity to coal brought forward the early industrialization of the Czech lands. The region’s fast transition to modern fuels fundamentally transformed the industrial landscape and laid foundations for the development of new industries. Coal, steam and sugar became the
Comprehension, mapping and reporting of climate-related risks among listed firms in Sweden
We study the comprehension, mapping, and reporting of climate-related risks among firms listed on the NasdaqOMX stock exchange in Stockholm. Our study contains two parts: i) a study on the firms’ external communication through their annual reports, sustainability reports and webpages, and ii) a follow-up survey addressed to each firm’s management team. We find that firms are likely to engage in so

Begonia dicressine (Begoniaceae) : A new record for India
Begonia, belonging to the family Begoniaceae, is one of the largest Angiosperm genera with a pan-tropical distribution. Northeastern India shows a high degree of endemism with several endemic species described from the region. Begonia dicressine, so far known from Myanmar, has been recorded for the first time in India from Namdapha National Park. Hence, the present record makes the westernmost dis
