The work presented has studied price developments in the day-ahead market. The statistical properties inherent in the time series constituting the day-to-day prices have been investigated. It is shown that these properties are radically different in 2022 than former years and resemble more chance like properties for which make predicting future peak prices especially hard. To overcome this, a space ...

Automated vehicles within Industry 4.0 are used as logistics units where they can move resources from one place to another safely and efficiently. The automated vehicles can be tasked to work in unknown environments where collision-free navigation is challenging due to uncertainty and lack of environmental information. Collisions can damage equipment and may even cause harm to human workers sharing ...

Broad application of the continuous-time Markov chain is caused by memoryless property of exponential distribution. An employment of non-exponential distributions leads to remarkable analytical difficulties. The usage of arbitrary non-negative density approximation by a convolution of exponential densities is a way of considerable interest. Two aspects of the problem solution are considered. First, ...

Objectives: Dentofacial deformity following juvenile idiopathic arthritis with temporomandibular joint involvement is associated with functional, aesthetic, and psychosocial impairment. Surgical treatment may involve combinations of orthognathic surgery. The aims of this retrospective study were to assess orofacial symptoms, functional and aesthetic status, and stability after orthognathic ...

This article charts three different approaches that international courts and tribunals have taken to marine life. Some have viewed marine life primarily as an economic resource, worthy of conservation only in order to ensure future exploitation. Others have seen marine life as an object of conservation in its own right. Yet others have tried to balance the two perspectives. The article also examines ...

Fishing was the main source of livelihood in the area where I grew up. In my village, as at other places along the Arctic coast of northern Norway, it had been for centuries carried out from a boat called nordlandsbåt (literally, ‘northland boat’). Though the oar and sail powered boat varied in size, from 4.5 to 14 m, the construction was essentially the same: an open and clinker-built keeled vessel ...

Learning is inherently social. This raises several questions that relate to how contexts and spaces can mediate co-creative learning. In this workshop proposal, we refer to the interrelated aspects of space, learning, and embodiment and how these aspects mediate the human-robot interaction. Our assumption is that robots are interpreted variously and used in different ways. We are interested in the ...

Motivation can be described as the processes that activate, direct, and determine the persistence of goal-directed behavior. A certain level of sexual motivation is required to activate approach behavior which could potentially lead to copulation and reproduction. Here, we discuss the use of the sexual incentive motivation test to assess the magnitude of sexual motivation in rodents in response to ...

Individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) have increased cardiovascular risk despite lipid-lowering therapy, and additional therapy is warranted. Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (n-3 PUFA) supplements have demonstrated an effect on cardiovascular endpoints in some clinical trials. Platelet-modifying and anti-inflammatory properties are among the proposed beneficial effects of n-3 PUFA. ...
