Frequency Generation and Baseband Filters for mm-Wave 5G and 6G Transceivers

In order to keep up with the constant demand for higher data rates, the fifth generation of mobile communication (5G) introduced the use of mm-wave carrier frequencies from 24 to 71 GHz. Plenty of new frequency spectrum then became available, which has allowed for channel bandwidths of several hundreds of MHz. 6G is projected to continue this trend with even higher carrier frequencies and wider ba

Mucin O-glycan Recycling by Akkermansia muciniphila

Since time immemorial, humans have been trying to answer questions about many phenomena, especially those related to health, by creating numerous imaginary questions. One of these common questions relates to the existence of huge numbers of small organisms that live with humans, and whose number inside the human body is a thousand times greater than outside it. Today, many scientists consider all

Structures and Solvation in Deep Eutectic Solvents

Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) are a type of emerging solvent that are gaining in popularity for their versatile and adjustable properties, and components that can be safe, biodegradable and sustainably sourced. Here we investigate the interactions that give rise to their unique properties.The first paper looks at the question of how chirality in a component effects the DES structure. Many DES compo

The development of fatigue after treatment for pediatric brain tumors does not differ between tumor locations

BackgroundChildren and adolescents treated for a brain tumor suffer from more fatigue than survivors of other types of childhood cancer. As tumor location might be predictive of fatigue, our aim was to investigate the longitudinal development of fatigue in children with brain tumors and risk factors for fatigue separately for different tumor locations.MethodsFatigue was assessed 1235 times for 425

Burying problems? Imaginaries of carbon capture and storage in Scandinavia

CO2 management, capturing CO2 from industry processes or removing CO2 from the atmosphere, is increasingly presented as a necessity for climate. Scandinavian countries are at the forefront of developing carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. We reviewed the scientific literature on CCS in Scandinavia to identify and analyse prevalent imaginaries for the role of this technology in the region.

Context Committing Security of Leveled Leakage-Resilient AEAD

During recent years, research on authenticated encryption has been thriving through two highly active and practice-motivated research directions: provably secure leakage-resilience schemes and key- or context-commitment security. However, the intersection of both fields had been overlooked until very recently. In ToSC 1/2024, Struck and Weish\"aupl studied generic compositions of Encryption scheme

Burnout resistance based on the Duration of Heating Phase concept – Literature Review and Roadmap

This study focuses on the fire behavior of structural members considering their response until the end of the fire event. The study reviews and discusses a framework for determining the burnout resistance (B) of structural members through the Duration of the Heating Phase concept (DHP). This framework complements the fire resistance rating (FRR) system by providing a rating that captures the sensi

A harmonized database of European forest simulations under climate change

Process-based forest models combine biological, physical, and chemical process understanding to simulate forest dynamics as an emergent property of the system. As such, they are valuable tools to investigate the effects of climate change on forest ecosystems. Specifically, they allow testing of hypotheses regarding long-term ecosystem dynamics and provide means to assess the impacts of climate sce

High-Quality Solution-Processed Quasi-2D Perovskite for Low-Threshold Lasers

Spin-coated quasi-two-dimensional halide perovskite films, which exhibit superior optoelectronic properties and environmental stability, have recently been extensively studied for lasers. Crystallinity is of great importance for the laser performance. Although some parameters related to the spin-coating process have been studied, the in-depth understanding and effective control of the acceleration

Forced Migrations as a European Heritage and Resource for Enhancing Intercultural Cohesion

Social identity theory argues that conflict between groups diminishes if they discover they have something important in common, and if they can build a new hybrid identity together. With this premise in mind, the article demonstrates how present-day experiences of refugees, displaced ethnic groups, political exiles, foreign-born workers, diasporic populations and other migrants may be incorporated

Softness matters : effects of compression on the behavior of adsorbed microgels at interfaces

Deformable colloids and macromolecules adsorb at interfaces as they decrease the interfacial energy between the two media. The deformability, or softness, of these particles plays a pivotal role in the properties of the interface. In this study, we employ a comprehensive in situ approach, combining neutron reflectometry with molecular dynamics simulations, to thoroughly examine the profound influe

L2 motivation and self regulated learning : An integrated model

Motivation and self-regulated learning (SRL) are interrelated constructs. Motivation can be a precursor, a mediator, and an outcome of SRL. In L2 learning, the interrelatedness of motivation and self-regulation has long been recognized (Dörnyei, 2005). However, a conceptualization of the connections is lacking. This article models the L2 motivation–SRL relationship. Drawing a distinction between p

Enclosure fire dynamics with a cross-laminated timber ceiling

An experimental study of the influence of an exposed combustible ceiling on compartment fire dynamics has been performed. The fire dynamics in compartments with combustible cross-laminated timber ceilings vs non-combustible reinforced concrete ceilings in otherwise identical compartments with three different ventilation factors were investigated. The experimental results are compared against predi

Swedish maternity care professionals’ perception of labor induction

Background: Sweden recently adopted new labor induction guidelines lowering the threshold for post-term pregnancies to 41+ weeks. Despite evidence-based foundation, these guidelines stirred controversy among maternity care professionals, who voiced concerns about potential risks and unintended consequences, such as a rising Caesarean section rate. Midwives also highlighted potential impacts on the

Pain Relieving Light - (How) Is it Possible?

About 15% of the population suffer from migraines and it is estimated that about 40% of all people with migraines would benefit from preventive treatment, but only 3-13% use it. Migraine is a huge burden for society and individuals. Migraines can be intensified by light, and some patients need to stay in a dark room until the attack is over. People with this type of photosensitivity show a clear p

Reduction of fire spalling of concrete with small doses of polypropylene fibres

The addition of polypropylene (PP) fibres has been shown to reduce the fire spalling propensity of concrete. When including this type of fibres in the concrete, the concrete mix becomes less robust, and small deviations in the constitutes change the workability and properties of the concrete. So, from a manufacturing perspective as small dosages as possible of PP fibres are desirable. Very few lar
