Background Infusion testing is an established method for assessing CSF resistance in patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH). To what extent the increased resistance is related to the glymphatic system is an open question. Here we introduce a computational model that includes...
In this work, strengthening effects and evolution of precipitates in a pre-deformed Al–Zn–Mg–Cu alloy during ageing were investigated using Vickers hardness measurements, tensile tests, and high angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM). It was found that all...
House building has moved indoors, into factories that mass produce flooring, walls, and roofs in dry and controlled environments. Since projects differ, and sections of the same house differ, the production system follows a mass customization philosophy, trying to make one-of-a-kind products...
The proliferation of IoT devices on the Internet is currently in the billions, and projections anticipate that there will be 50 billion connected IoT devices in the IoT market by 2030. This rapid expansion will result in a substantial increase in data, which includes personal data, generated by...
Welcome to the sixth edition of the workshop on Machine Learning Techniques for Software Quality Evaluation (SEA4DQ 2024), held in Brazil, July 16th, 2024, co-located with ESEC / FSE 2024 [1]. Three papers from all over the world were submitted, and all of them were accepted based on the overall...
Practical field-scale simulations often face efficiency challenges due to convergence issues in the nonlinear Newton solver, stemming from imbalances in nonlinearities across time and space. Factors such as saturation changes near displacement fronts, coupled well-reservoir equations, abrupt well...
Cnidarians thriving in biofouling communities on aquaculture net pens represent a significant health risk for farmed finfish due to their stinging cells. The toxins coming into contact with the fish, during net cleaning, can adversely affect their behavior, welfare, and survival, with a particularly...
This article presents the recent advancements in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS). The review explores new developments and potential future breakthroughs in RAS systems across leading countries. It highlights technical and technological advancement in plant management aimed at improving...
Background Eimeria spp. are widespread apicomplexan parasites known to cause coccidiosis in livestock, resulting in reduced animal welfare and productivity, particularly in sheep. The treatment options are limited, and there is an emerging development of resistance against registered...
Cristobalite is one of the quartz crystalline polymorphs that forms at above 1470 °C in its pure form and above 1000 °C for quartz glass. Its formation during the Czochralski process is therefore inevitable, and is usually controlled by doping the quartz sand with barium or barium-based coatings...
On the transition towards an electrified European energy system, flexible electricity use is crucial. The building stock, including electric vehicles, can offer flexibility, but it is still unclear towards which objective the flexibility should be provided. Further, it is complicated for end-users...
