Effektkjøring av magasinkraftverk er hurtige og store variasjoner i vannføring og produsert effekt. Spesielt kan store variasjoner innenfor et tidsrom på et døgn føre til tilsvarende variasjoner i vannstand i nedstrøm vassdrag og som kan føre til skader på livet i elva. Det er en gjengs oppfatning at et stort innslag av intermitterende, ikke-regulerbare kraftkilder som vindkraft, vil føre til hardere ...

In 1934, Frits Zernike demonstrated that it is possible to exploit the sample’s refractive index to obtain superior contrast images of biological cells. The refractive index contrast of a cell surrounded by media yields a change in the phase and intensity of the transmitted light wave. This change can be due to either scattering or absorption caused by the sample. Most cells are transparent at visible ...

Multifocus gratings (MFGs) enable microscopes and other imaging systems to record entire Z-stacks of images in a single camera exposure. The exact grating shape depends on microscope parameters like wavelength and magnification and defines the multiplexing onto a grid of MxN Z-slices. To facilitate the swift production and alteration of MFGs for a system and application at hand, we have developed ...

Securing workloads and information flow against misconfiguration in container-based clusters and edge medical devices is an important part of overall system security. This paper presented a controller that analyzes the misconfiguration, maps the observation to its hidden misconfiguration type, and selects the optimal recovery policy to maximize the performance of defined metrics. In the future, we ...

Patients with diabetes and health personnel do not have an optimal way of interacting. Health personnel must use multiple ICT systems, such as third-party companies’ services, to access health-related data from diverse vendors’ CGM platforms and Electronic Health Record (EHR). Furthermore, other health-related data like physical activities, quality of life or well-being is often discussed but ...

The present study aimed to examine the performance of an open-source diffusion model inpainting algorithm under varying conditions of inpainting strength and mask radius. However, the results obtained were unexpected and raise significant concerns. Our findings indicate that the algorithm not only modifies the pixels within the designated mask, as intended, but also alters pixels out side of the ...

During the Pleistocene, Earth’s climate changed dramatically. The mid-Pleistocene transition (MPT; ~1.3–0.7 million years (Ma)) featured an important ice volume increase at both poles. The evolution of large Arctic ice sheets caused the sequestration of methane as free gas and hydrates in subseabed sediments. Ice volume changes, associated with variable pressures and temperatures, perturbed those ...

The present work begins a large layer of experiments on the study of Raman radiation from extracellular vesicles. It is a promising method that provides unique information about the global biomolecular composition of a single vesicle or a small number of vesicles. Two physical phenomena are present in this work, Raman scattering and optical trapping. In Raman scattering, the scattered radiation ...

Parceling the anthropogenic and natural (geological) sources of fossil methane in the atmosphere remains problematic due to a lack of distinctive chemical markers for their discrimination. In this light, understanding the distribution and contribution of potential geological methane sources is important. Here we present empirical observations of hitherto undocumented, widespread and extensive methane ...

The field of Earth observation is dealing with increasingly large, multimodal data sets. An important processing step consists of providing these data sets with labels. However, standard label propagation algorithms cannot be applied to multimodal remote sensing data for two reasons. First, multimodal data is heterogeneous while classic label propagation algorithms assume a homogeneous network. ...
