Building predictive models for human-interactive systems is a challenging task. Every individual has unique characteristics and behaviors. A generic human–machine system will not perform equally well for each user given the between-user differences. Alternatively, a system built specifically for each...

We present the results of an experimental and atomistic modeling investigation of the silicon/silver (Si/Ag) interfaces found in industrial solar cells. We use small ab initio calculations to parametrize a new interatomic potential for the Si/Ag interaction. This interatomic potential is then validated...

Oil-water flows in horizontal and slightly inclined pipes are investigated using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). PIV offers a powerful non-invasive tool to study such flow fields. The experiments are conducted in a 15 m long, 56 mm diameter, inclinable steel pipe using Exxsol D60 oil (viscosity 1.64...

The recovery of major components of bauxite residue by carbothermic reduction at 1550–1750 °C and subsequent slag leaching in a Na3CO3(aq) solution is studied. Iron recovers primarily to pig-iron and lime is added to tune the calcium aluminate slags towards the highly leachable mayenite phase. The concentration...

...is time-consuming and subjective, if performed by crude eyeballing or manually. The standardized GSI-RADS aims to provide neurosurgeons with automatic tumor segmentations to extract tumor features rapidly and objectively. In this study, we improved automatic tumor segmentation and compared the agreement...

...aimed to assess whether building materials, furniture, and user equipment are sources of pollution that would influence the need for ventilation. Between 2017-2020, measurements were taken in four regular classrooms in a low emitting school and four modular classrooms in a prefabricated school. Weekly...

...different woody and herbaceous feedstocks on their thermal stability profiles. The organosolv lignins were first analysed for impurities, and structural features were determined using the default set of gel permeation chromatography, FT-IR spectroscopy, quantitative 31 P NMR spectroscopy and semi-quantitative...

In Norway an ideology of gender equality and the universal welfare state has created generous leave arrangements for parents, both mothers and fathers, to make the combination of work and family possible.To recruit competent women and men, knowledge work organisations have to accommodate to working hours...

...carotenoid decaprenoxanthin and its glucosides. Carotenoid pathway engineering was previously shown to allow for efficient lycopene production. Here, engineering of C. glutamicum for production of endogenous decaprenoxanthin as well as of the heterologous C50 carotenoids C.p.450 and sarcinaxanthin is described...

...has been paid to the changing role of agency over time. The current paper develops a framework for understanding the role of multiple types of actors and the agency they exercise for regional industrial path development. The framework is employed in a longitudinal study of industry development in Värmland...
