(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Purpose: To compare the repeatability of keratometry between different instruments in patients with hyperosmolar tear film and a control group. Patients and Methods: Subjects with tear-film osmolarity of 316 mOsm/L or ... -
Thinning and readout during bending of a custom silicon IC
(Chapter, 2020)This contribution presents a solution on how to interconnect, thin and bend a monolithic integrated circuit (IC) for use in the Inner Tracker System v3 (ITS3) of the ALICE experiment at the European Organization for Nuclear ... -
This report forms part of the basis for assessing the student’s performance in the course
(Master thesis, 2020)The reject water of any wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) contains carbon dioxide (CO2) and micro-organisms. The environmental biotechnology research group of the University of South-Eastern Norway (USN) is trying to ... -
A relational perspective on the Wigner-Araki-Yanase theorem
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)We present a novel interpretation of the Wigner-Araki-Yanase (WAY) theorem based on a relational view of quantum mechanics. Several models are analysed in detail, backed up by general considerations, which serve to illustrate ... -
Meta-Analysis of 1,200 Transcriptomic Profiles Identifies a Prognostic Model for Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma
