Understanding the Fate of H2S Injected in Basalts by Means of Time-Domain Induced Polarization Geophysical Logging

To help meet emission standards, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) from geothermal production may be injected back into the subsurface, where basalt offers, in theory, the capacity to mineralize H2S into pyrite. Ensuring the viability of this pollution mitigation technology requires information on how much H2S is mineralized, at what rate and where. To date, monitoring efforts of field-scale H2S reinjection

The Influence of Pubertal Development on Autoantibody Appearance and Progression to Type 1 Diabetes in the TEDDY Study

CONTEXT: The 2 peaks of type 1 diabetes incidence occur during early childhood and puberty.OBJECTIVE: We sought to better understand the relationship between puberty, islet autoimmunity, and type 1 diabetes.METHODS: The relationships between puberty, islet autoimmunity, and progression to type 1 diabetes were investigated prospectively in children followed in The Environmental Determinants of Diab

Measurement of nuclear interaction cross sections towards neutron-skin thickness determination

The accuracy of reaction theories used to extract properties of exotic nuclei from scattering experiments is often unknown or not quantified, but of utmost importance when, e.g., constraining the equation of state of asymmetric nuclear matter from observables as the neutron-skin thickness. In order to test the Glauber multiple-scattering model, the total interaction cross section of [Formula prese

Luxury Consumption

This is the definition of ‘Luxury Consumption’ in the book ‘Elgar Encyclopedia of Consumer Behavior’. Modern commercial landscapes are characterized by rapidly evolving markets, and this authoritative Encyclopedia acts as an essential navigational guide to such changeable consumer environments.

Energy communities in Sweden: Challenging established ideas of aim, place and engagement

This paper contributes to the discussion about the importance of different energy community (EC) characteristics. Based on a questionnaire to the members of solar ECs in Sweden, it investigates (1) to what extent EC members agree with the established view of the “ideal” energy community, as described in previous literature, and (2) to what extent the studied ECs match the characteristics of such a

Celebrating Three Consciousness Trailblazers : Jeanne Achterberg, Ruth-Inge Heinze, and Stanley Krippner

Following the previous homage to Charles T. Tart and considering that StanKrippner has celebrated more than 90 birthdays, this issue celebrates Stan alongwith two consciousness trailblazers who collaborated with him while they were alive:Jeanne Achterberg and Ruth-Inge Heinze. Jeanne was a very influential pioneer inmind/body medicine, particularly imagery in healing. Ruth-Inge Heinze had a deepco

Minimal and hybrid hydrogenases are active from archaea

Microbial hydrogen (H 2) cycling underpins the diversity and functionality of diverse anoxic ecosystems. Among the three evolutionarily distinct hydrogenase superfamilies responsible, [FeFe] hydrogenases were thought to be restricted to bacteria and eukaryotes. Here, we show that anaerobic archaea encode diverse, active, and ancient lineages of [FeFe] hydrogenases through combining analysis of exi

The Swedish Stroke Self-Efficacy Questionnaire : translation and cross-cultural adaptation

Objective: To translate and cross-culturally adapt the Stroke Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (SSEQ) from English to Swedish and to evaluate psychometric properties of the questionnaire. Methods: A cross-sectional study design, where the translation followed a process including initial translation, synthesis, backward translation, expert committee, and pretest. Content validity was assessed using Cont

A concept for international societally relevant microbiology education and microbiology knowledge promulgation in society

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Microbes are all pervasive in their distribution and influence on the functioning and well-being of humans, life in general and the planet. Microbially-based technologies contribute hugely to the supply of important goods and services we depend upon, such as the provision of food, medicines and clean water. They also offer mechanisms and strategies to mitigate and solve a wide r

Microformat Imaging ELISA for Pesticide Determination

A flat-well microformat competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent chemiluminescent assay for the detection of the pesticide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) is described. Thick-film technology was used to pattern a hydrophobic layer 100 μm thick onto glass microscope slides to form an array of 2 × 2 mm2 squares. These flat wells were able to hold 2 μL of reagents, corresponding to a heig
