Local variation in Bi crystal sites of epitaxial GaAsBi studied by photoelectron spectroscopy and first-principles calculations

Epitaxial Bi-containing III–V crystals (III-V1-xBix) have attracted increasing interest due to their potential in infrared applications. Atomic-scale characterization and engineering of bulk-like III-V1-xBix properties (e.g., Bi incorporation and defect formation) are challenging but relevant to develop applications. Toward that target, we report here that the traditional surface-science measureme

Analysis of β-glucan molar mass from barley malt and brewer's spent grain with asymmetric flow field-flow fractionation (AF4) and their association to proteins

β-Glucan benefits are related with its molar mass and it would be of interest to better understand how this parameter can be changed by processing and variety for design of food with specific health effects. For this purpose, extracts from barley malts and brewers' spent grain, processed at different conditions, were analysed regarding β-glucan content, molar mass, and protein content. Molar mass

Study protocol : Differential effects of diet and physical activity based interventions in pregnancy on maternal and fetal outcomes: Individual patient data (IPD) meta-analysis and health economic evaluation

BackgroundPregnant women who gain excess weight are at risk of complications during pregnancy and in the long term. Interventions based on diet and physical activity minimise gestational weight gain with varied effect on clinical outcomes. The effect of interventions on varied groups of women based on body mass index, age, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, parity, and underlying medical conditions

Cubosomes for in vivo fluorescence lifetime imaging

Herein we provided the first proof of principle for in vivo fluorescence optical imaging application using monoolein-based cubosomes in a healthy mouse animal model. This formulation, administered at a non-cytotoxic concentration, was capable of providing both exogenous contrast for NIR fluorescence imaging with very high efficiency and chemospecific information upon lifetime analysis. Time-resolv

Multidimensional diffusion MRI

Principles from multidimensional NMR spectroscopy, and in particular solid-state NMR, have recently been transferred to the field of diffusion MRI, offering non-invasive characterization of heterogeneous anisotropic materials, such as the human brain, at an unprecedented level of detail. Here we revisit the basic physics of solid-state NMR and diffusion MRI to pinpoint the origin of the somewhat u

Wåhlins värld : Ett porträtt i ord och bild av domkyrkoarkitekt Theodor Wåhlin

En fotobok om en av Lunds, Malmös och faktiskt hela Skånes mest betydelsefulla men numera bortglömda arkitekter; Theodor Wåhlin (1864–1948). Med 80 utvalda fotografier, tagna av Wåhlin själv mellan 1880- och 1930-talet, ger boken för första gången en både estetisk och biografisk helhetsbild av såväl hans yrkes som privatliv.

Diverging temporal trends of human exposure to bisphenols and plastizisers, such as phthalates, caused by substitution of legacy EDCs?

Phthalates and phenolic substances were investigated in urine samples from first-time mothers in Uppsala, Sweden, collected between 2009 and 2014. These substances have a comparably fast metabolism and urinary metabolites are predominantly analysed. The main aim was to investigate if measures to decrease production and use of certain phthalates and bisphenol A (BPA) have resulted in decreased huma

Concrete alteration due to 55 years of exposure to river water : Chemical and mineralogical characterisation

This article presents a study on concrete alteration mechanisms due to 55 years of exposure to river water. Many hydro power structures in cold regions suffer from concrete deterioration at the waterline. Progressive disintegration of the concrete surface leads to exposure of the coarse aggregate and eventually the reinforcing steel. Concrete cylinders drilled out at four vertically different loca

Older patients' perception of their own capacity to regain pre-fracture function after hip fracture surgery – an explorative qualitative study

Aims and objectives To explore healthy older patients' perceptions of their own capacity to regain pre-fracture function in the acute phase following hip fracture surgery. Background The incidence of hip fractures is expected to increase. In Sweden, of the patients who sustain a hip fracture, 40 per cent are healthy and lived independently pre fracture. However, a hip fracture often results in dec

The deployment of new energy technologies and the need for local learning

The objective of this paper is to identify local aspects of technological learning in the deployment of solar photovoltaic (PV), a globally important form of distributed energy technology. We review literature in the economics of innovation and economic geography to identify the need for local learning when adopting new technologies and seek evidence on the local aspects of learning processes in t

Oscillations in coupled enzymic reactions at high concentration of enzyme

The transient-state kinetic consequences of the coupling of a single-enzyme reaction to other metabolic reactions have been examined in generalized terms. Analytical data are presented which specify under what conditions such coupling may lead to an oscillatory transient rate behaviour of a reaction system involving an enzyme operating by a Michaelian mechanism. The results indicate that the prese

Model studies of the regulation of the Calvin photosynthesis cycle by cytosolic metabolites

A kinetic model for photosynthetic carbohydrate formation in the chloroplast of C3 plants is presented which includes consideration of the interaction of the phosphate translocator of the chloroplast envelope with external reactants such as 3-phosphoglycerate, dihydroxyacetone phosphate, and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate in addition to inorganic (ortho)phosphate. The model is shown to account satisfa
