Supercritical carbon dioxide impregnation of gold nanoparticles demonstrates a new route for the fabrication of hybrid silk materials

How many nanoparticles can we load in a fiber? How much will leak? Underlying is the relatively new question of the “space available” in fibers for nanoparticle loading. Here, using supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2 ) as a carrier fluid, we explored the impregnation in four Indian silks (Mulberry, Eri, Muga, and Tasar) with five standard sizes of gold nanoparticles (5, 20, 50, 100 and 150 nm in

An open-access database and analysis tool for perovskite solar cells based on the FAIR data principles

Large datasets are now ubiquitous as technology enables higher-throughput experiments, but rarely can a research field truly benefit from the research data generated due to inconsistent formatting, undocumented storage or improper dissemination. Here we extract all the meaningful device data from peer-reviewed papers on metal-halide perovskite solar cells published so far and make them available i

Circulating Interleukin-6 Levels and Incident Ischemic Stroke : A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Prospective Studies

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Human genetic studies support a key role of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke. Still, there are only limited data from observational studies exploring circulating IL-6 levels as a risk factor for ischemic stroke. Here, we set out to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of aggregate data on cohort studies to determine the magnitude and s

Effectiveness of tobacco cessation interventions for different groups of tobacco users in Sweden : a study protocol for a national prospective cohort study

INTRODUCTION: Tobacco is still one of the single most important risk factors among the lifestyle habits that cause morbidity and mortality in humans. Furthermore, tobacco has a heavy social gradient, as the consequences are even worse among disadvantaged and vulnerable groups. To reduce tobacco-related inequity in health, those most in need should be offered the most effective tobacco cessation in

Comparative Kinetic Analysis and Process Optimization for the Production of Dimethyl Ether via Methanol Dehydration over a γ-Alumina Catalyst

Various kinetic models of methanol dehydration to dimethyl ether over a commercial γ-alumina catalyst were compared with a view to selecting the most appropriate model as a basis for process optimization. To achieve significant improvements in the conventional design, the Berčič-and-Levec kinetic model was employed and process intensification was applied to develop a more energy-efficient process,

The onset of circulation triggers a metabolic switch required for endothelial to hematopoietic transition

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) emerge during development from the vascular wall of the main embryonic arteries. The onset of circulation triggers several processes that provide critical external factors for HSC generation. Nevertheless, it is not fully understood how and when the onset of circulation affects HSC emergence. Here we show that in Ncx1−/− mouse embryos devoid of circulation the HSC l

Curing building related illnesses by using an emissions barrier

A new type of emissions barrier was used in premises with indoor air complaints due to emissions from the buildings in question. The emissions comprised chlorophenols/chloroanisoles and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) from treated wood, and volatile organic compounds (VOC), mainly 2-ethylhexanol, from PVC flooring and the glue used to paste the flooring onto a concrete slab. Attaching the b

Gaia Early Data Release 3 : Modelling and calibration of Gaia 's point and line spread functions

Context. The unprecedented astrometric precision of the Gaia mission relies on accurate estimates of the locations of sources in the Gaia data stream. This is ultimately performed by point spread function (PSF) fitting, which in turn requires an accurate reconstruction of the PSF, including calibrations of all the major dependences. These include a strong colour dependence due to Gaia's broad G ba

Gaia Early Data Release 3: Structure and properties of the Magellanic Clouds

Context. This work is part of the Gaia Data Processing and Analysis Consortium papers published with the Gaia Early Data Release 3 (EDR3). It is one of the demonstration papers aiming to highlight the improvements and quality of the newly published data by applying them to a scientific case.Aims. We use the Gaia EDR3 data to study the structure and kinematics of the Magellanic Clouds. The large di

Gaia Early Data Release 3 : Parallax bias versus magnitude, colour, and position

Context. Gaia Early Data Release 3 (Gaia EDR3) gives trigonometric parallaxes for nearly 1.5 billion sources. Inspection of the EDR3 data for sources identified as quasars reveals that their parallaxes are biased, that is, they are systematically offset from the expected distribution around zero, by a few tens of microarcseconds. Aims. We attempt to map the main dependences of the parallax bias in

Large scale bio electro jet fuel production integration at CHP-plant in Östersund, Sweden

Detta dokument rapporterar resultaten av projektet ”Storskalig integration av bio-elektro-jet-bränsleproduktion vid kraftvärmeverk i Östersund,Sverige”. BEJF är ett elektrobränsle som produceras i en syntesprocess där biogen koldioxid (CO2) är den huvudsakliga kolkällan och vätgas från elektrolysav vatten med förnybar el är den huvudsakliga energikällan. Projektet är en genomförbarhetsstudie för eThis document reports the findings of the project “Large scale bio electro jet fuel production integration at CHP-plant in Östersund, Sweden”. BEJF is an electrofuel produced in a synthesis process where biogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) is the main carbon source and hydrogen from electrolysis of water using renewable electricity is the main energy source. The project is a feasibility study for a fact

Gaia Early Data Release 3 : The astrometric solution

Context. Gaia Early Data Release 3 (Gaia EDR3) contains results for 1.812 billion sources in the magnitude range G = 3–21 based on observations collected by the European Space Agency Gaia satellite during the first 34 months of its operational phase.Aims. We describe the input data, the models, and the processing used for the astrometric content of Gaia EDR3, as well as the validation of these res

A search for transiting planets around hot subdwarfs : I. Methods and performance tests on light curves from Kepler, K2, TESS, and CHEOPS

Context. Hot subdwarfs experienced strong mass loss on the red giant branch (RGB) and are now hot and small He-burning objects. These stars constitute excellent opportunities for addressing the question of the evolution of exoplanetary systems directly after the RGB phase of evolution.Aims. In this project we aim to perform a transit survey in all available light curves of hot subdwarfs from space

Legitimation dynamics in industrial path development : new-to-the-world versus new-to-the-region industries

While economic geography has contributed deep insights into the knowledge-related determinants of industry emergence, less is known about the legitimacy that people confer to the new industries. Based on a comparative case study in the potable water reuse industry (California, United States) and the video games industry (Hamburg, Germany), this article explores the legitimation dynamics in regiona
