In the last decades, material discovery has been a very active research field driven by the need to find new materials for many different applications. This has also included materials with heavy elements, beyond the stable isotopes of lead, as most actinides exhibit unique properties that make them useful in various applications. Furthermore, new heavy elements beyond actinides, collectively referred ...

Nearest neighbor (NN) sampling provides more semantic variations than predefined transformations for selfsupervised learning (SSL) based image recognition problems. However, its performance is restricted by the quality of the support set, which holds positive samples for the contrastive loss. In this work, we show that the quality of the support set plays a crucial role in any nearest neighbor based ...

The present paper is a data note related to the paper “Gender perspectives on a flipped classroom environment”. The paper drew on an in-depth analysis of the interview with a single female student called Sofia and attempted to analyze different gender related interactions between students in group work situations experienced by this student. The transcript from this interview was translated from ...

Many media providers offer complementary prod-ucts on different platforms to target a diverse consumer base. Online sports coverage, for instance, may include professionally produced audio and video channels, as well as Web pages and native apps offering live statistics, maps, data visualizations, social commentary and more. Many consumers also engage in parallel usage, setting up streaming products ...

Liquid injection optimization is key to enhance the efficiency of many processes in a wide variety of fields. Combustion processes are one of the most challenging ones, due to the direct emissions and greenhouse gases implications. This work aims at studying the external two-phase flow produced when injecting fuel with a pressure-swirl atomizer in an operating condition typical of an academic ...

Denne oppgaven viser at det er mulig å gjøre differensiell fotometri av ∂-Scuti stjerner med rimelig god presisjon ved Skibotn observatorium. Den høyeste presisjonen som ble oppnådd i C1-C2 var 28 mmag. Sammenligningen av den beste natten fra Skibotn med en god natt fra FG Vir kampanjen (året før) viser at muligheten er til stede for å oppnå gode resultater. En bekreftelse på dette fikk vi da to av ...

The Gelfand-Tsetlin and the Feigin–Fourier–Littelmann–Vinberg polytopes for the Grassmannians are defined, from the perspective of representation theory, to parametrize certain bases for highest weight irreducible modules. These polytopes are Newton-Okounkov bodies for the Grassmannian and, in particular, the GT polytope is an example of a string polytope. The polytopes admit a combinatorial ...

The current study evaluated a three-stage treatment to remediate PFAS-contaminated soil. The treatment consisted of soil washing, foam fractionation (FF), and electrochemical oxidation (EO). The possibility of replacing the third stage, i.e., EO, with an adsorption process was also assessed. The contamination in the studied soils was dominated by perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), with a concentration ...

This study uses over 2 years of 16 Hz density measurements, 50 Hz magnetic field data and ROTI data from the Swarm mission to perform long term statistics of plasma structuring in the polar ionosphere. The timeframe covers more than 2 years near the 24th solar cycle peak. We additionally use 3 years of data obtained from a timeframe close to solar minimum for discussion. We present power spectral ...
