A "clearcut" case? Brown bear selection of coarse woody debris and carpenter ants on clearcuts
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-07-05)Forest management alters habitat characteristics, resulting in various effects among and within species. It is crucial to understand how habitat alteration through forest management (e.g. clearcutting) affects animal ... -
A capacitive touch screen sensor for detection of urinary tract infections in portable biomedical devices
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Incidence of urinary tract infections (UTIs) is the second highest among all infections; thus, there is a high demand for bacteriuria detection. Escherichia coli are the main cause of UTIs, with microscopy methods and urine ... -
A Clover shaped silicon piezoresistive microphone for miniaturized photoacoustic gas sensors
(Chapter, 2009)Here we present the design and modeling of a novel piezoresistive microphone designed for a photoacoustic gas sensor system. The microphone is fabricated using a novel process to enable DRIE etch through of membranes of ... -
A comparative study between electrical capacitance tomography and time-resolved X-ray tomography
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Modern day tomographs enable the research community to investigate the internal flow behaviour of a fluidized bed by non invasive methods that partially overcome the opaque nature of a dense bubbling bed. Each tomographic ... -
A comparison between a two feedback control loop and a reinforcement learning algorithm for compliant low-cost series elastic actuators
(Chapter, 2020)Highly-compliant elastic actuators have become progressively prominent over the last years for a variety of robotic applications. With remarkable shock tolerance, elastic actuators are appropriate for robots operating in ... -
A didactically motivated PLS prediction algorithm
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2001)The intention of this paper is to develop an easily understood PLS prediction algorithm, especially for the control community. The algorithm is based on an explicit latent variables model, and is otherwise a combination ... -
A gross assessment of the suitability of selected Scottish riparian habitats for beaver
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2000)In November 1998 we were shown a selection of riparian habitats in Scotland and asked to assess their suitability for beaver based on our experience in working with beaver elsewhere. Though many examples of good beaver ... -
A human-induced landscape of fear influences foraging behavior of brown bears
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Animals adapt their foraging behavior to variations in food availability and predation risk. In Sweden, brown bears (Ursus arctos) depend on a nearly continuous intake of berries, especially bilberries (Vaccinium myrtillus) ... -
A Mathematical Theory for Mixing of Particulate Materials
(Doctoral thesis, 2006)A theoretical framework for sampling theory is developed. In this relation, concepts like mixture heterogeneity and representative samples are mathematically defined. Further, the relation between Gy's concepts of accuracy ... -
A microfluidic device for continuous sensing of systemic acute toxicants in drinking water
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)A bioluminescent-cell-based microfluidic device for sensing toxicants in drinking water was designed and fabricated. The system employed Vibrio fischeri cells as broad-spectrum sensors to monitor potential systemic cell ... -
A nearest integer solution to the longest run of randomly generated words
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)How rare is the event of observing more than a certain number of consecutive and identical letters of any kind somewhere in a randomly generated word? No one can deny that the use of generating functions is crucial for ... -
A Novel Hybrid Approach Based on Instance Based Learning Classifier and Rotation Forest Ensemble for Spatial Prediction of Rainfall-Induced Shallow Landslides Using GIS
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)This study proposes a novel hybrid machine learning approach for modeling of rainfall-induced shallow landslides. The proposed approach is a combination of an instance-based learning algorithm (k-NN) and Rotation Forest ... -
A Novel Process-Reaction Curve Method for Tuning PID Controllers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)A novel process-reaction curve method for tuning PID controllers for (possible) higher order processes/models is presented. The proposed method is similar to the Ziegler-Nichols process reaction curve method, viz. only the ... -
A Review of Eutectic Au-Ge Solder Joints
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Gold-germanium (Au-Ge) joints have been part of the electronics industry since the birth of the solid state transistor. Today they find their role as a reliable joining technology, especially for high-temperature applications. ... -

A review of wearable technologies for elderly care that can accurately track indoor position, recognize physical activities and monitor vital signs in real time
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Rapid growth of the aged population has caused an immense increase in the demand for healthcare services. Generally, the elderly are more prone to health problems compared to other age groups. With effective monitoring and ... -
A Semi-Heuristic Process-Reaction Curve PID Controller Tuning Method
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)A simple semi-heuristic method for designing PID controllers for time constant models are shown to be close to optimal. A Process-Reaction Curve method is proposed, composed by a method for approximating stable time constant ... -
A Sensor Fusion Algorithm for Filtering Pyrometer Measurement Noise in the Czochralski Crystallization Process
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)The Czochralski (CZ) crystallization process is used to produce monocrystalline silicon for solar cell wafers and electronics. Tight temperature control of the molten silicon is most important for achieving high crystal ... -
