Adding hydrogen atoms and protonation states to structures of membrane proteins requires successful implementation of neutron macromolecular crystallography (NMX). This information would significantly increase our fundamental understanding of the transport processes membrane proteins undertake. To grow the large crystals needed for NMX studies requires significant amounts of stable protein, but on

Route search requires a useful and accurate algorithm to calculate the distance between two objects, especially on a round surface such as the earth. This algorithm provides a considerable circle distance between two locations on a non-flat surface. The distance of the two objects is determined based on longitude and latitude. Haversine is an algorithm that can determine the distance between two o

An investigation into the implementation state of open standards in software is currently ongoing through the ISPRS/EuroSDR 'GeoBIM benchmark 2019' initiative, which kicked off earlier this year. The benchmark activity provides a way of assessing and comparing the functionality of different software packages in GIS and BIM in terms of their ability to handle standardised data (IFC and CityGML) and

There is no tradition in Annals of Regional Science that the editors write editorials. However, as of 2020, the editors will each year write an editorial in which we report as well as refect on recent developments of the journal. We hope that this will be of interest for our readers. This editorial is the frst one and marks the start of the strategy to write a yearly editorial. We, i.e., Martin An

Background: Providing continuous follow-up care to patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) remains a challenge in many settings. Previous studies highlight that patients with CHD experience discontinuation of follow-up care, but mainly describe a single-centre perspective, neglecting inter-institutional variations. Hospital-related factors above and beyond patient-related factors are believed

Low-temperature operation of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) results in deterioration in electrochemical performance due to sluggish oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) at the cathode. To enhance the reaction pathway for ORR, La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 (LSM) nanofibers were fabricated by electrospinning and used for low-temperature solid oxide fuel cells operated at 600–700 °C. The morphological and structural cha

Foetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) is the platelet counterpart of haemolytic disease of the foetus and newborn. Among Caucasians, around 80 % of FNAIT cases and some of the most severe cases, are caused by alloantibodies against the human platelet antigen 1a (HPA-1a). For around 3 decades it has been known that almost all HPA-1a-immunised women are HLA-DRB3*01:01 positive. The

We consider a family of codes which can be seen both as a special kind of serial turbo codes and as LDPC codes having a parity check matrix which is partly random and partly structured. These codes are linear-time encodable, thanks to the turbo structure, and can be decoded as LDPC codes. We provide an ensemble analysis for the waterfall region, on the line of classical results for serial turbo co

Here, we describe the generation of an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line, from a male patient diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (PD). The patient carries a heterozygous variation p.A53T in the SNCA gene. Skin fibroblasts were reprogrammed using the non-integrating Sendai virus technology to deliver OCT3/4, SOX2, c-MYC and KLF4 factors. The generated iPSC line (CSC-32) preserved the mutati

A sediment sequence from a small forest lake in southwestern Sweden was investigated to explore the effects of forestry and land-use on catchment erosion and delivery of organic and minerogenic matter to the lake. Catchment-scale vegetation changes during the last 1,100 years were reconstructed quantitatively at 50-year resolution using pollen analysis and the Landscape reconstruction algorithm (L
