PurposeThe branding of universities is increasingly recognized to present a different set of challenges than in corporate, for-profit sectors. The purpose of this paper is to investigate how faculty make sense of branding in the context of higher education, specifically considering branding initiatives in business schools.Design/methodology/approachThe paper is based on qualitative interviews with

Dietary carotenoids have been proposed to boost immune system and antioxidant functions in vertebrate animals, but studies aimed at testing these physiological functions of carotenoids have often failed to find support. Here we subject yellow canaries (Serinus canaria), which possess high levels of carotenoids in their tissue, and white recessive canaries, which possess a knockdown mutation that r

Sufficient and necessary conditions for the stability of positive feedback interconnections of negative imaginary systems are derived via an integral quadratic constraint (IQC) approach. The IQC framework accommodates distributed-parameter systems with irrational transfer function representations, while generalising existing results in the literature and allowing exploitation of flexibility at zer

Continuous water-table (WT) measurements from peatlands are scarce and – if existing at all –very short. Consequently, proxy indicators are critically needed to simulate hydrological changes in peatlands over longer time periods. In this study, we demonstrate that tree-ring width (TRW) records of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) growing in the Čepkeliai peatland (southern Lithuania) can be used as

Single-molecule confocal microscopy experiments require concentrations which are low enough to guarantee that, on average, less than one single molecule resides in the probe volume at any given time. Such concentrations are, however, significantly lower than the dissociation constants of many biological complexes which can therefore dissociate under single-molecule conditions. To address the chall

This chapter traces the history, past and present, of Romeo and Juliet in Sweden, by looking at a few memorable productions, translations and adaptations.

OBJECTIVES: To describe the incidence of injury in the precompetition and competition periods of the Rio 2016 Summer Paralympic Games.METHODS: A total of 3657 athletes from 78 countries, representing 83.4% of all athletes at the Games, were monitored on the web-based injury and illness surveillance system over 51 198 athlete days during the Rio 2016 Summer Paralympic Games. Injury data were obtain

Measurement of endwall heat transfer around a circular cylinder with a vortex generator pair has been investigated. Steady state liquid crystal thermography is adopted. Cylinders having two different height to diameter ratios have been employed. In one case, the cylinder has one end free in the flow and in the other case it has both ends attached on the walls. Local Nusselt numbers both upstream a

Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) for a multi-user single- input single-output (SISO) setup is studied in the power and the frequency domains simultaneously. The problem of sum-bandwidth minimization under perfect channel state information is solved for various combinations of rate requirements and user pairings. In this process, an iterative Tabu-search based algorithm is applied to avoid an

The separation of molecules residing in the cell membrane remains a largely unsolved problem in the fields of bioscience and biotechnology. We demonstrate how hydrodynamic forces can be used to both accumulate and separate membrane-bound proteins in their native state. A supported lipid bilayer (SLB) was formed inside a microfluidic channel with the two proteins streptavidin (SA) and cholera toxin

Background: Recent randomized trials demonstrated that laparoscopic lavage compared with resection for Hinchey III perforated diverticulitis was associated with similar mortality, less stoma formation but a higher rate of early reintervention. The aim of this study was to compare 1-year outcomes in patients who participated in the randomized Scandinavian Diverticulitis (SCANDIV) trial. Methods: Be
