Photon-tagged nuclear reaction analysis for trace element determination
The new trace element measurement technique "photon-tagged Nuclear Reaction Analysis" (pNRA) is introduced and the experimental procedures are described in detail. The pNRA-technique is an ion-beam analytical technique intended for the determination of the abundance of the lightest elements, ranging from lithium to phosphorus. The technique is a complement to the PIXE technique. pNRA is a multipar
The Great Dun Fell Cloud Experiment 1993 : An overview
The 1993 Ground-based Cloud Experiment on Great Dun Fell used a wide range of measurements of trace gases, aerosol particles and cloud droplets at five sites to study their sources and sinks especially those in cloud. These measurements have been interpreted using a variety of models. The conclusions add to our knowledge of air pollution, acidification of the atmosphere and the ground, eutrophicat
Field validation of the droplet aerosol analyser
A new instrument for the study of cloud droplets and its relation to aerosol particles, the droplet aerosol analyser (DAA), was for the first time used in a field campaign. The DAA has the unique feature of measuring the ambient size of cloud droplets or cloud interstitial aerosol particles together with the size of its dry residue. This is obtained with a two-parameter data acquisition technique
Phase partitioning of aerosol constituents in cloud based on single-particle and bulk analysis
Single-particle analysis, performed by laser microprobe mass spectrometry and bulk analytical techniques were used to study aerosol-cloud interactions within the third field campaign of the EUROTRAC subproject 'ground-based cloud experiments' at the Great Dun Fell, Cumbria, U.K. in spring 1993. The shape of the ridge made it possible for ground-based instrumentation to sample similar parcels of ai
Source identification during the Great Dun Fell Cloud Experiment 1993
A characterisation of the sources influencing the site for the final field campaign of the EUROTRAC subproject GCE (Ground-based Cloud Experiment) at Great Dun Fell, Cumbria, Great Britain in April-May 1993 is presented. The sources were characterised mainly by means of aerosol filter and cascade impactor data, single particle analysis, gas data, data on aromatic organic compounds, cloud water ion
Experimental determination of the connection between cloud droplet size and its dry residue size
The droplet activation process and droplet growth was studied during early stages of the formation of orographically-induced clouds. The experimental results were compared with the results obtained with a closed parcel, adiabatic cloud model. Good agreement was in most cases found between model and measurements with respect to cloud droplet number concentration, cloud droplet solute concentration
Growth of a Long Bone Cross Section - A 2D Phase-Field Model
An approach to model the effect of exercise on the growth of mammal long bones is described. A Ginzburg-Landau partial differential equation system is utilised to study the change of size and shape of a cross-section caused by mechanically enhanced bone growth. The concept is based on a phase variable that keeps track of the material properties during the evolution of the bone. The relevant free e
Identification of of elastic/visco-plastic material constants under impact loading
A method for identifying the material constants of an elastic/visco-plastic meterial under tensile impact loading is proposed. In this method, the Kalman filter and the finite element method are used together with a few test data. To obtain data for high strain rates, notched specimens are employed, because arbitrarily shaped specimens are available in this method. To increase the accuracy of iden

High resolution X-ray emission spectroscopy of water and its assignment based on two structural motifs
We evaluate proposed interpretations of previous X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) data on liquid water. The split peak in the lone-pair orbital region has been interpreted in terms of either two different structural motifs, tetrahedral and distorted, or as due to core-hole-induced dissociative dynamics; here we add new data on a 1:1 H2O/D2O isotopic mixture and additional spectrum simulations inc

High resolution X-ray emission spectroscopy of liquid water : The observation of two structural motifs
The structure of liquid water is presently under intense debate. We summarize the historical development of the present description of water and the controversy surrounding the X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) study of Wernet et al. [Ph. Wernet et al., Science 304 (2004) 995]. In order to provide further insight into the connection between X-ray spectroscopy and the structure of the hydrogen bo
Transnational and Local Memories of World War I in Sweden : the Case of Bohuslän
After the WWI Battle of Jutland in 1916, hundreds of dead British and German marines drifted ashore on the beaches of the region of Bohuslän in western Sweden. They were buried in local cemeteries, until the remains of most of the soldiers were reburied in Gothenburg in the 1960s. The chapter focuses on two local Bohuslän memory cultures in relation to the sailors and their graves. It seeks to ide

SEVEN (Supercompact Electric Vehicle National) is a research project of Universidad Nacional de Colombia. The main goal is to design a electric "concept car" for shared use. The SEVEN vehicle is designed with characteristics of the industry 4.0: autonomous vehicle level III, interconnected (IoT) and can be manufactured flexibly, on demand by rapid manufacturing of 3D printing.

Comparative Secretome Analyses of Primary Murine White and Brown Adipocytes Reveal Novel Adipokines
The adipose organ, including white and brown adipose tissues, is an important player in systemic energy homeostasis, storing excess energy in form of lipids while releasing energy upon various energy demands. Recent studies have demonstrated that white and brown adipocytes also function as endocrine cells and regulate systemic metabolism by secreting factors that act locally and systemically. Howe
Dynamics of Fracture
IntroductionIn this book a new phenomenological approach to brittle medium fracture initiation under shock pulses is developped. It provides an opportunity to estimate fracture of media with and without macrodefects. A qualitative explanation is thus obtained for a number of principally important effects of high-speed dynamic fracture that cannot be clarified within the framework of previous appro
Roadmap for a precision-medicine initiative in the Nordic region
The Nordic region, comprising primarily Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, has many of the necessary characteristics for being at the forefront of genome-based precision medicine. These include egalitarian and universal healthcare, expertly curated patient and population registries, biobanks, large population-based prospective cohorts linked to registries and biobanks, and a wi
Therapeutic hypothermia for acute ischaemic stroke. Results of a European multicentre, randomised, phase III clinical trial
Introduction: We assessed whether modest systemic cooling started within 6 hours of symptom onset improves functional outcome at three months in awake patients with acute ischaemic stroke. Patients and methods: In this European randomised open-label clinical trial with blinded outcome assessment, adult patients with acute ischaemic stroke were randomised to cooling to a target body temperature of
