This paper faces the problem of audio synthesis with Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN), with an attempt to create novel, original high-quality samples of drums that could be used within the realm of music production. My results show that it is possible to create high-quality drum samples with architecture such as DCGAN (Deep Convolutional GAN) and that using causal and dilated convolutions is

As a result of the rapid population growth, the increasing economic interests and the global climate crisis, disputes over freshwater resources become more frequent and severe. Although many States pursue environmental cooperation to avoid or resolve water conflicts, such cooperation agreements often suffer from a weak political will to implement just cooperation mechanisms. This is particularly t

This paper examines long-term interest rates and fiscal liabilities within EMU in the context of the recent sovereign debt crisis; where Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain faced rising interest rates in contrast to the rest of the EMU. An assessment of the short and long-run properties of long rates, fiscal deficits and government debt are estimated for 11 EMU countries in the time span 19

Intressenthantering är ett område som i många byggprojekt är essentiella för att projektet ska bli lyckat, ändå är det ett område som emellanåt negligeras av både projektledning och entreprenör. Att ha missnöjda intressenter som är negativt inställda till projektet kan leda till ökade klagomål och eventuella störningar i byggandet vilket kan drabba både budget och tidplan. Denna fallstudie har st

This study aims to summarize some of the climate change related challenges for city centers in Sweden by using the city Helsingborg as an example. The approach is wide and includes three different dimensions: City planning, shopping in city centers and mobility. By doing so the reader will see climate change related challenges from different perspectives which all affect each other. Shopping and m

Sjuksköterskor ställs inför svåra situationer när de ska bedöma svårt sjuka patienter, ta beslut om åtgärder och veta när hjälp behövs.Om patienten vid bedömning visar kritiska värden kontaktas MIG för konsultation. Syftet med studien var därför att belysa hur sjuksköterskor upplever konsultationerna. En intervjustudie med 15 sjuksköterskor genomfördes och innehållsanalys enligt Burnard användes.

Punktlighet och förseningar inom järnväg är något som står högt upp på agendan i dagens samhälle. Med en infrastruktur som är i ett stort behov av underhåll samtidigt som trycket på klimatsmarta transportlösningar bara ökar, blir punktligheten och framkomligheten inom järnvägen avgörande. Med en total punktlighet på ungefär 90% finns det mycket att göra. En av järnvägens infrastrukturproblem är spPunctuality and delays within the railway system are of utmost concern in today’s society. With an infrastructure in a dire need of maintenance and the increasing pressure for environmentally friendly transportation solutions, punctuality and accessibility within the railway system becomes crucial. With an overall punctuality rate of approximately 90%, there is much to be improved. One of the prob

The adoption of sustainable practices has increasingly become crucial for companies seeking to meet their stakeholders’ expectations. Supply chain management can play a pivotal role in driving sustainability initiatives, offering opportunities for companies to integrate digital technologies and optimize their operations for sustainable stewardship. This study investigates how the integration of di

The use of substrate analogues as inhibitors provides a way to understand and manipulate enzyme function. Here we report two 1 A resolution crystal structures of liver alcohol dehydrogenase in complex with NADH and two inhibitors: dimethyl sulfoxide and isobutyramide. Both structures present a dynamic state of inhibition. In the dimethyl sulfoxide complex structure, the inhibitor is caught in tran

The photon-number statistics from resonance fluorescence of a two-level atom near a metal nanosphere driven by a laser field with finite bandwidth is studied theoretically. Our analysis shows that all interesting physics here takes place in a small area around the nanosphere where the near field and the atom-nanosphere coupling essentially affect the radiative properties of the atom. Computer mode

In this paper several rate R = 2/5 convolutional encoding matrices with four states are used to illustrate how unequal error protection can be achieved for the different positions in the code sequences as well as in the information sequences. Free output- and input-distances and active burst output- and input-distances are computed. Typically a single code cannot combine a large free output- or in

Comparative studies of corruption focus on the selection and incentives of policymakers. With few exceptions, actors who are in charge of implementing policies have been neglected. This article analyzes an original data set on the bureaucratic features and its effects on corruption in fifty-two countries. Two empirical findings challenge the conventional wisdom in literature. First, certain bureau

The laccase producing fungus HC1 was isolated from a sample collected in the Bolivian Amazon region. Analysis of 5.8S and 28S rDNA, and internal transcribed spacer 1 and 2 sequences revealed that isolate HC1 belongs to genus Galerina. High production of laccase was achieved in basal salt medium supplemented with 30 g L-1 glucose, 10 g L-1 yeast extract and 0.01 g L-1 co

During the 1980s the word ’postmodernism’ was inserted into the dicourse of Swedish literature in a curious way. Even though both writers and critics found the word bewildering – or deemed it a buzzword devoid of meaning – it sparked fierce debates. Despite this, and despite the fact that few wanted to be associated with the word, it has become common to describe the 1980s as the era of Swedish li

We discuss γ∗γ∗ → ηc(1S), ηc(2S) transition form factors for both virtual photons. The general formula is given. We use different models for the cc¯ wave function obtained from the solution of the Schrödinger equation for different cc¯ potentials: harmonic oscillator, Cornell, logarithmic, power-law, Coulomb and Buchmüller-Tye. We showed some examples of wave functions in the Light Front represent
