A LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) consists of two glass substrates glued together with a small gap (called cell gap) in-between them. The gap is filled with a liquid crystal. To produce a display with good viewing characteristics it is very important that this gap, and other parameters, gets the right dimension. There are formulas that can be used to calculate which cell gap that is appropriate in...

Assets are often classified according to their risk and expected return. The estimates of these parameters based on classical methods are considered to lead to unnecessary uncertainty since they are based on a limited amount of information. With few observations they generally lead to poor inferences for assets with less data. With a Bayesian methodology other sources of information are allowed...

There are few studies on how social workers deal with cases regarding transnational surrogacy. Our study intends to contribute to filling this gap. In Sweden, surrogacy as an assisted reproductive technology method is not permitted. As a result, many prospective parents have turned abroad, mainly to India, for surrogacy. There are no laws regulating surrogacy in Sweden, and difficulties have ar...

Despite the impressive global results of DOTS in India, the effectiveness of DOTS for the treatment of tuberculosis in HIV-infected patients is not well known. This is an observational prospective cohort study performed in Anantapur District, Andhra Pradesh, India. The study included 1000 DOTS antituberculosis treatment (ATT) episodes and 840 person-years. CD4 lymphocyte count was below 200 cel...

Full-length Del elements from ten angiosperm genomes, 5 monocot and 5 dicot, were retrieved and putative attachment (att) sites were identified. In the 2432 Del elements, two types of U5 att sites and a single conserved type of U3 att site were identified. Retroviral att sites confer specificity to the integration process, different att sites types therefore implies lineage specificity. While s...

English Information Communication Technology (ICT) is reshaping form and mode of delivery of higher education world wide. Some of the main challenges in education are access issues, and costs. In order to overcome those challenges ICT can play an important role. The application of ICT in the education sector can be referred to as e-learning, and comprises the use of various web-based technologi...

BACKGROUND The appropriate medical treatment test (ATT), included in the Mental Health Act (MHA) (1983, as amended 2007), aims to ensure that detention only occurs when treatment with the purpose of alleviating a mental disorder is available. AIMS As part of the Assessing the Impact of the Mental Health Act (AMEND) project, this qualitative study aimed to assess professionals' understanding o...

Title: Identifying Defective IR Cameras through a Machine Learning Approach to Image Artifact Detection This report is about methods for automatic detection of subtle image artifacts. Such methods could be a part of the image quality control procedure in the production process of infrared cameras. Currently image quality control requires manual inspection. The main goal of the investigation des...
