Vehicle fires in tunnels can have catastrophic consequences for the road users, the property and traffic infrastructure. To support an evacuation planning, this study simulates the fire smoke toxicity and the smoke layer of a vehicle fire in a full-size test tunnel. The three dimensional prediction of the fire smoke toxicity in the test tunnel is realized by implementing the Fractional Effective D
We study left-invariant foliations F on Riemannian Lie groups G generated by a subgroup K. We are interested in such foliations which are conformal and with minimal leaves of codimension two. We classify such foliations F when the subgroup K is one of the important SU(2)*SU(2), SU(2)*SL_2(R), SU(2)*SO(2) or SL_2(R)*SO(2). By this we yield new multi-dimensional families of Lie groups G carrying suc
Objective – Gothenburg University Library has implemented a process with the goal to combine quality assurance and strategic planning activities. The process has bottom-up and top-down features designed to generate strong staff-involvement and long-term strategic stability.Methods – In 2008 the library started implementing a system in which each library team should state a number of improvement ac
Library assessment and external intelligence is important for tracking and improving library activities. Quality assurance and strategic planning are intricate parts in sustainably developing better and more effective services. Gothenburg University Library has implemented a process with the goal to join these activities. The process has both bottom-up and top-down features designed to generate st
A polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) is an electrochemical device that converts the chemical energy presents in the hydrogen into electricity and heat having as by product only water. The energy conversion process is carried out in a clean and noiseless manner. Depending on the applications, a PEFC works at different operating temperature. In this study, the internal resistance of a PEFC is eval
This article explores walking both as a methodological device, paying close attention to the ethnographer’s own positionality and experiences, and as a form of embodied and emplaced experience of and with heritage sites and urban changes. Walking is an important aspect of how people engage with and experience heritage that draws attention to its emplaced, performative and transformative qualities.
Most signals detected by genome-wide association studies map to non-coding sequence and their tissue-specific effects influence transcriptional regulation. However, key tissues and cell-types required for functional inference are absent from large-scale resources. Here we explore the relationship between genetic variants influencing predisposition to type 2 diabetes (T2D) and related glycemic trai
AbstractSepsis is a clinical condition that develops when the immune system over-response to an infection. Sepsis can lead to organ failure as well as subsequent death. Sepsis-induced host response involves neutrophil over activation which can lead to self tissue damage. Neutrophils are the first line of defence, play a critical role in controlling the infection. Upon activation, neutrophils relea
The physics of quantized vortex excitations in atomic Bose-Einstein condensates has been extensively studied in recent years.Although simple vortex lines are relatively easy to create, control, and measure in experiments, it is a lot more difficult to do the same for vortex ring structures.Here we suggest and explore a method for generating and controlling superfluid vortex rings, vortex ring latt
We study a two component Bose-Einstein condensate in the presence of an inhomogeneous artificial gauge field. In response to this field, the condensate forms a localised vortex lattice structure that leads to a non-trivial symmetry breaking in the phase separated regime. The underlying physical mechanism can be understood by considering the energy landscape and we present a simplified model that i
Growing evidence suggests that sexual reproduction might be common in unicellular organisms, but observations are sparse. Limited knowledge of sexual reproduction constrains understanding of protist ecology. Although Teleaulax amphioxeia and Plagioselmis prolonga are common marine cryptophytes worldwide, and are also important plastid donors for some kleptoplastic ciliates and dinoflagellates, the
This article aims to analyse the changes in migration regimes in Sweden over the period 1739–1982. We have chosen to divide this into four periods where each is characterized as a specific regime: the pre-industrial period (1739–1860), the laissez faire period (1860–1932), the rising ambitions period (1932–1951) and the Rehn-Meidner period (1951–1982). These four periods reveal different approache
Background: Many people are dying from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), but consensus guidance on palliative care in COVID-19 is lacking. This new life-threatening disease has put healthcare systems under pressure, with the increased need of palliative care provided to many patients by clinicians who have limited prior experience in this field. Therefore, we aimed to make consensus recommendat
This article discusses sustainability in Human Resource Management (HRM) in the blurred digital working life, focusing on the emotion of stress. Its empirical basis is an activity and emotion diary study conducted with 26 employees of three industrial companies in Sweden. Our results show that work and private life are integrated by digital activities and also by emotions. Due to the extensive use
Y6 is a new type of non-fullerene acceptor, which has led to power conversion efficiencies of single-junction polymer solar cells over 17% when combined with a careful choice of polymeric donors. However, the excited state characteristics of Y6, which is closely correlated with its opto-electronic applications, are not clear yet. In this work, we studied the excited state properties of the Y6 solu
Documentation is the process of recording, examining, analyzing, and archiving information in order to present it to researchers, interested individuals, students, and decision-makers, which entails taking specific policies, strategies, and plans based on that information later on. The article discusses the importance of the documentation process in defending the minorities in Yemen.

Non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) is an important photoprotective mechanism in plants and algae. Although the process is extensively studied, little is known about its relationship with ultrastructural changes of the thylakoid membranes. In order to better understand this relationship, we studied the effects of illumination on the organization of thylakoid membranes in Monstera deliciosa leaves. T
