Vocal signals only impact speakers’ own emotions when they are self-attributed
Emotions are often accompanied by vocalizations whose acoustic features provide information about the physiological state of the speaker. Here, we ask if perceiving these affective signals in one's own voice has an impact on one's own emotional state, and if it is necessary to identify these signals as self-originated for the emotional effect to occur. Participants had to deliberate out loud about
Towards classification criteria for early-stage knee osteoarthritis : A population-based study to enrich for progressors
Objective: To facilitate a greater likelihood of favorable response to new disease-modifying therapies, recruitment of patients at an earlier stage of their disease into clinical trials may be an attractive strategy. Hence, there is a need to develop widely accepted classification criteria for early-stage knee osteoarthritis (OA). We have proposed a set of classification criteria for early-stage k
Major-trace element and Sr-Nd isotope compositions of mafic dykes of the Singhbhum Craton : Insights into evolution of the lithospheric mantle
The Singhbhum Craton in eastern India is host to at least seven sets of mafic dyke swarms. Four previously dated swarms (studied here) include the NNE-trending Keshargaria (ca. 2.80 Ga) and Ghatgaon (ca. 2.76 - 2.75 Ga) swarms, the ENE-trending Kaptipada swarm (ca. 2.26 Ga), and the ESE-trending Pipilia swarm (ca.1.76 Ga). The dykes range in composition from basalt to andesite and have transitiona
Large-scale variations in the dynamics of Amazon forest canopy gaps from airborne lidar data and opportunities for tree mortality estimates
We report large-scale estimates of Amazonian gap dynamics using a novel approach with large datasets of airborne light detection and ranging (lidar), including five multi-temporal and 610 single-date lidar datasets. Specifically, we (1) compared the fixed height and relative height methods for gap delineation and established a relationship between static and dynamic gaps (newly created gaps); (2)
Suppression of unpolarized background interferences for Raman spectroscopy under continuous operation
A time-resolving filtering technique developed to improve background suppression in Raman spectroscopy is presented and characterized. The technique enables separation of signal contributions via their polarization dependency by the addition of a waveplate to a normal measurement system and data post-processing. As a result, background interferences of broadband laser-induced fluorescence and inca
Multi-scale Dynamical Modeling of T Cell Development from an Early Thymic Progenitor State to Lineage Commitment
Intrathymic development of committed progenitor (pro)-T cells from multipotent hematopoietic precursors offers an opportunity to dissect the molecular circuitry establishing cell identity in response to environmental signals. This transition encompasses programmed shutoff of stem/progenitor genes, upregulation of T cell specification genes, proliferation, and ultimately commitment. To explain thes
Positivity of entropy production for the three-level maser
Entropy production is a key concept of thermodynamics and allows one to analyze the operation of engines. For the Scovil-Schulz-DuBois heat engine, the archetypal three-level thermal maser coupled to thermal baths, it was argued that the common definition of heat flow may provide negative entropy production for certain parameters [Boukobza and Tannor, Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 240601 (2007)PRLTAO0031-9
The role of the active site tyrosine in the mechanism of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase
Catalytic breakdown of polysaccharides can be achieved more efficiently by means of the enzymes lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs). However, the LPMO mechanism has remained controversial, preventing full exploitation of their potential. One of the controversies has centered around an active site tyrosine, present in most LPMO classes. Recent investigations have for the first time obtained
Contrasting responses of woody and herbaceous vegetation to altered rainfall characteristics in the Sahel
Dryland ecosystems are a major source of land cover, account for about 40% of Earth's terrestrial surface and net primary productivity, and house more than 30% of the human population. These ecosystems are subject to climate extremes (e.g. large-scale droughts and extreme floods) that are projected to increase in frequency and severity under most future climate scenarios. In this modelling study w

Centerpartiet och flirten med islamism
Kopplingen mellan islamiska riksorganisationer och Centerpartiet går decennier tillbaka, skriver Sameh Egyptson, forskare i interreligiösa relationer. Partiet har fungerat som inkörsport och ett mål för infiltration från islamistiskt håll.
Tvinga bort ledningen för Folkbildningsrådet
Att organisationer som anklagas för ekonomisk brottslighet utreder sig själva och fortsätter sitta på sina positioner är anmärkningsvärt. Det visar på ett förakt mot skattebetalarna.
Investigation of Fuel and Load Flexibility in a SGT-600/700/800 Burner Under Atmospheric Pressure Conditions Using High-Speed OH-Plif and OH Chemiluminescence Imaging
Fuel and load flexibility have been increasingly important features of industrial gas turbines in order to meet the demand for increased utilization of renewable fuels and to provide a way to balance the grid fluctuations due to the unsteady supply of wind and solar power. Experimental investigations were performed using a standard 3rd generation dry low emission (DLE) burner under atmospheric pre
Centerpartiet bör se upp med islamistisk infiltration
Efter flertalet uppmärksammade skandaler bör Centerpartiet föra ett ordentligt internt samtal om tolkningen av religionsfrihetslagen och om stödet till islamistiska organisationer.
Core-Level Binding Energy Reveals Hydrogen Bonding Configurations of Water Adsorbed on TiO2 (110) Surface
Using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of the oxygen 1s core level, the ratio between intact (D2O) and dissociated (OD) water in the hydrated stoichiometric TiO2(110) surface is determined at varying coverage and temperature. In the submonolayer regime, both the D2O:OD ratio and the core-level binding energy of D2O (ΔBE) decrease with temperature. The observed variations in ΔBE are shown with dens

Det räcker med tjugo år av allmänna medel till en studieorganisation som sprider rasism, judehat och homofobi.
