Det behövs dock mer kunskap om vilka aktiviteter som pågår under vårdrelaterade möten i hemmet och vilken inverkan dessa kan ha på vårdrelationen. S

Black phosphorus is a 2-D layered material. Since the isolation of a single layer of black phosphorus in 2014, it has garnered a great deal of interest due to several rare properties such as anisotropy, high conductivity, and tunable bandgap. These properties make it an ideal candidate for a wide variety of applications and provide a means for analyzing particular direction-dependent physical phen

We introduce rigorous theory for deriving first and second order backpropagation methods for Deep Neural Networks (DNN) whilst satisfying existing theory in DNN optimization. We begin by formally defining a neural network with its respective components and state the first and second order chain rule with respect to its partial derivatives. The partial derivatives in the chain rule formula are rela

Solar energy is an important component of sustainable urban development. However, it is still not reaching its full potential due to several reasons. One of them is a lack of free tools based on open geodata capable of estimating solar energy (daylight) metrics on building features, e.g.,windows, in the early stages of the urban planning process. To fill this gap, a design and implementation of th
