Crossing properties of soil saturation, defined as the duration and excursion of soil saturation below and above certain thresholds, are key variables to ecosystem functioning and evolution by primarily influencing the plant and soil microbes physiological ...
An insertion device (100; 100') for inserting a retinal prosthesis (200) into the eye of a patient comprises: a handle portion (1; 1') arranged to be grasped by a user of the insertion device (100; 100'), a cannula element (12; 12') arranged to be inserted ...
For a shake table test on a four-storey structure with both unreinforced hollow-core brick masonry (URM) walls and reinforced concrete (RC) walls, the test unit had to be constructed at half-scale. While past experience showed that testing RC structural el ...
Mammalian cell behavior is strongly influenced by physical and chemical cues originating from the extracellular matrix (ECM). In vivo, ECM signals are displayed in a spatiotemporally complex fashion, often composed as gradients and in concentration profile ...
Although gas-lubricated herringbone grooved journal bearings (HGJB) are known for high rotordynamic stability thresholds, small clearance to diameter ratios are required for stable rotor operation. Tight clearances not only increase bearing losses but also ...
Automatic metrics for the evaluation of machine translation (MT) compute scores that characterize globally certain aspects of MT quality such as adequacy and fluency. This paper introduces a reference-based metric that is focused on a particular class of f ...
The architect behind Stockholm Town Hall, Ragnar Östberg (1866-1945), would have turned 150 years the 14th of July this year. Due to the focus of author's PhD research, she spent long time in Stockholm, especially at the Arkitektur –och designcentrum archi ...
It is well known that a building's energy performance (heating and artificial lighting) and the comfort of occupants are very strongly correlated with a building envelope’s access to the sun and its ability to harness that resource. We need to determine ho ...
In recent years sophisticated biomaterials have made a significant impact on our understanding of cellular behavior, particularly in the fields of stem cell research and tissue engineering. Nevertheless, the promising potential of stem cells for regenerati ...
Discourse connectives can often signal multiple discourse relations, depending on their context. The automatic identification of the Arabic translations of seven English discourse connectives shows how these connectives are differently translated depending ...
