The presence of solid particles in a Newtonian liquid flow will affect the properties of the flow. For small particles these effects are fairly well understood and models, for example for the pressure drop in particle laden pipe flows have been present for a long time. However, the behavior of liquids laden with large particles are less well understood. In the present study, large particles of sph

Exposure to excessive indoor radon causes around 500 lung cancer deaths in Sweden annually. However, until 2020, indoor radon measurements were only conducted in around 16% of Swedish single-family houses and 17% of multifamily houses. It is estimated that approximately 16% of single-family houses exceed the indoor radon reference level of 200 Bq/m3, and the corresponding situation in multifamily

Background: Deferred (also known as delayed) cord clamping can improve survival of infants born preterm (before 37 weeks of gestation), but the optimal duration of deferral remains unclear. We conducted a systematic review and individual participant data network meta-analysis with the aim of comparing the effectiveness of umbilical cord clamping strategies with different timings of clamping or wit

Förekomst av farliga ämnen i byggnader medför betydande osäkerheter i projektplanering och budgetuppskattning och innebär hälso och säkerhetsrisk för de boende och för arbetstagare som är involverade i renoverings- och rivningsaktiviteter. Det är praxis inom svenska byggprojekt att avsätta ungefär 15% av budgeten för att hantera oväntade risker av farliga ämnen och oförutsedda händelser. De faktis

Every day, throughout the world, people put huge quantities of food out at feeding stations for birds and other wild animals.Although we know that connecting with nature benefits human health and wellbeing, scientists still know relatively little about the consequences of providing food for wildlife. My team’s most recent research, however, has found that feeding garden birds in wintertime seems t

Multiword expressions (MWEs) are common word combinations which exhibit idiosyncrasies in various linguistic levels. For various downstream natural language processing applications and tasks, the identification and discovery of MWEs has been proven to be potentially practical and useful, but still challenging to codify. In this paper we investigate various, relevant to MWE, resources and tools for

Introduction: It is a shortcoming of traditional cardiotocography (CTG) classification table formats that CTG traces are frequently classified differently by different users, resulting in poor interobserver agreements. A fast-and-frugal tree (FFTree) flow chart may help provide better concordance because it is straightforward and has clearly structured binary questions with understandable “yes” or

Introduction: High levels of toxic steroidal glycoalkaloids (SGAs) in potato tubers constitute a recognized food quality problem. Tuber SGA levels vary between potato cultivars and can increase after post-harvest stresses such as wounding and light exposure. A few cultivars, e.g., ‘Magnum Bonum’ and ‘Lenape,’ have been withdrawn from commercial sales due to excessive SGA levels during some cultiva

The effects of operational and environmental variability have been posed as one of the biggest challenges to transit structural health monitoring (SHM) from research to practice. To deal with that, machine learning algorithms have been proposed to learn from experience based on a reference data set. These machine learning algorithms work well based on the premise that the basis of the reference da

A new series of orally available α-d-galactopyranosides with high affinity and specificity toward galectin-1 have been discovered. High affinity and specificity were achieved by changing six-membered aryl-triazolyl substituents in a series of recently published galectin-3-selective α-d-thiogalactosides (e.g., GB1107 Kd galectin-1/3 3.7/0.037 μM) for five-membered heterocycles such as thiazoles. Th

The area of Marxism and law has long been considered marginalised. However, hand in hand with the renaissance of Marxist theory in recent decades, neglect has finally been put to rest. As Marxists increasingly explore the connections between rights, law, democracy and capitalism, one text in particular has taken centre stage: The General Theory of Law and Marxism, published by E. B. Pashukanis in
