General-purpose event generators for LHC physics
- 2011
-
In: Physics Reports. - : Elsevier BV. - 0370-1573. ; 504:5, s. 145-233
-
Research review (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We review the physics basis, main features and use of general-purpose Monte Carlo event generators for the simulation of proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. Topics included are: the generation of hard scattering matrix elements for processes of interest, at both leading and next-to-leading QCD perturbative order; their matching to approximate treatments of higher orders based on the showering approximation; the parton and dipole shower formulations; parton distribution functions for event generators; non-perturbative aspects such as soft QCD collisions, the underlying event and diffractive processes; the string and cluster models for hadron formation; the treatment of hadron and tau decays; the inclusion of QED radiation and beyond Standard Model processes. We describe the principal features of the ARIADNE, Herwig++, PYTHIA 8 and SHERPA generators, together with the Rivet and Professor validation and tuning tools, and discuss the physics philosophy behind the proper use of these generators and tools. This review is aimed at phenomenologists wishing to understand better how parton-level predictions are translated into hadron-level events as well as experimentalists seeking a deeper insight into the tools available for signal and background simulation at the LHC.

Grasses That Have No Fields : From Gerald Murnane's 'Inland' to a Phenomenology of Isogonic Constitution
- 2006
-
Book (pop. science, debate, etc.)abstract
- By elucidating the isogonic structures of affectivity and landscaping in Gerald Murnane's novel 'Inland,' the study demonstrates the reductive nature of analytic models based on world-positioning. Since the constitution of a literary work does not involve the object-like units and displacements that are viewable in the realm of constituted worlds, literary theories based on the event of investigating worlds cannot clarify a literary text's self-actualization. Extrinsic procedures do not touch the core of the literary work of art. Nor do they touch the nuances of its surface texture that make it specific.

The risk of autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disability but not attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder is increased in individuals with esophageal atresia
- 2023

In: Diseases of the esophagus. - : Oxford University Press. - 1120-8694 .- 1442-2050. ; 36:7

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Knowledge of neurodevelopmental disorders such as attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and intellectual disability (ID) in patients with esophageal atresia (EA) is scarce. The aims of this study were to investigate the prevalence and risk of ADHD, ASD and ID in individuals with EA. Data were obtained from four longitudinal population-based registries in Sweden and analyzed using Cox proportional hazards regression. Patients with EA born in Sweden in 1973-2018 were included together with five controls for each individual with the exposure matched on sex, gestational age at birth, birth year and birth county. Individuals with chromosomal aberrations and syndromes were excluded. In total, 735 individuals with EA and 3675 controls were included. Median age at time of the study was 20 years (3-48). ASD was found in 24 (3.9%), ADHD in 34 (5.5%) and ID in 28 (4.6%) individuals with EA. Patients with EA had a 1.66 times higher risk of ASD (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.05-2.64) and a 3.62 times higher risk of ID (95% CI, 2.23-5.89) compared with controls. The risk of ADHD was not significantly increased. ADHD medication had been prescribed to 88.2% of patients with EA and ADHD and to 84.5% of controls with ADHD. Individuals with EA have a higher risk of ASD and ID than individuals without the exposure. These results are important when establishing follow-up programs for children with EA to allow timely detection and consequentially an earlier treatment and support especially before school start.

Visualization of spirography-based objective measures in Parkinson's disease
- 2014

Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Objective: To investigate whether advanced visualizations of spirography-based objective measures are useful in differentiating motor complications among Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients.Background: Sixty-five patients diagnosed with advanced PD have utilized a telemetry test battery, implemented on a touch screen handheld computer, in a telemedicine setting. On each test occasion, they were asked to perform repeated and time-stamped assessments of spiral drawing performance by tracing a pre-drawn Archimedes spiral. The test battery was also used by 10 healthy elderly (HE) subjects.Methods: A web-based framework was developed to visualize the performance during spirography of both patients and HE subjects to a clinician (DN). The performance was depicted by animating the spiral drawings (Fig 1). In addition, the framework displayed two time series views for representing drawing speed (blue line) and displacement from the ideal trajectory (orange line). The views are coordinated and linked i.e. user interactions in one of the views will be reflected in other views. For instance, when the user points in one of the pixels in spiral view, the circle size of the underlying pixel increases and a vertical line appears in the time series views to depict the corresponding position. Fig 1 shows single randomly selected spirals per each subject group: A) a PD patient in Dyskinesia state, B) a HE subject, and C) a PD patient in Off state.Results: The clinician recognized Dyskinesia symptoms as movements made with high speed, smooth/gradual spatial displacements, and a small amount of hesitation (Fig 1A). Similarly, Off symptoms were associated with low speed, sharp/abrupt spatial displacements, and a large amount of hesitation (Fig 1C). In contrast, the spiral drawn by a HE subject (Fig 1B) was associated with unchanging levels of kinematic features i.e. drawing speed, spatial displacements and hesitation over time.Conclusions: Visualizing spirography-based objective measures enables identification of trends and patterns of motor dysfunctions at the patient’s individual level. Dynamic access of visualized motor tests may be useful during the evaluation of therapy-related complications such as under- and over-medications. This will assist during individualized optimization of therapies, enabling patients to spend more time in the On state with a minimum of Off and dyskinetic states.
