Objective. Flexible neural probes are hypothesized to reduce the chronic foreign body response (FBR) mainly by reducing the strain-stress caused by an interplay between the tethered probe and the brain's micromotion. However, a large discrepancy of Young's modulus still exists (3-6 orders of magnitude) between the flexible probes and the brain tissue. This raises the question of whether we need to

Traumatic combat experience has been associated with the development of posttraumatic stress disorder, but there have been few studies about the association of military combat experience and the development of somatoform disorders. The authors evaluated 131 referred Gulf War veterans for medical and psychiatric syndromes thought related to their involvement in the Gulf War. Patients completed ques

The last Catholic archbishop of Sweden to hold residence in his see at Uppsala, Johannes Magnus (1488-1544), was the author of a major work about Swedish history: the Historia de omnibus Gothorum Sueonumque regibus. Johannes Magnus left Sweden in 1526, spent the rest of his life away from his home country and eventually died in Rome, where his work was published posthumously in 1554. One reason fo

The article, published in Romhorisont, the journal of the Swedish Institute of Rome, links Johannes Magnus' (1488–1544) life to various places in Rome and offers a possible route in his footsteps. Photographies by the author.

Det har länge varit något av ett tabu för feministiska teoretiker att hänvisa till naturen i begreppsliggörandet av könsrelationer. I sin artikel kritiserar Lena Gunnarsson denna naturfobi och argumenterar för att vi behöver förankra samhällsteorier i ett explicit begrepp om de naturgivna nödvändigheter som varje samhällelig struktur beror av och i slutänden måste anpassa sig till. Vi behöver förh

Results of a search for new phenomena in events with an energetic photon and large missing transverse momentum with the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider are reported. The data were collected in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 3.2 fb−1. The observed data are in agreement with the Standard Model expectations. Ex

Abstract: This paper presents the measurement of the relative width difference ΔΓd/Γd of the B0‐ B¯ 0 system using the data collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC in pp collisions at s=7 TeV and s=8 TeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 25.2 fb−1. The value of ΔΓd/Γd is obtained by comparing the decay-time distributions of B0 → J/ψKS and B0 → J/ψK*0(892) decays. The result is

Glutathione (GSH) pathways play a central role in methylmercury (MeHg) metabolismand elimination, largely due to formation of a more readily transported MeHg-GSH conjugate. Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) have therefore been proposed to facilitate MeHg elimination by catalyzing MeHg-GSH conjugation. A role for human GSTP1 in MeHg disposition is suggested by the association of two common polymorp

A search for the pair production of top squarks, each with R-parity-violating decays into two Standard Model quarks, is performed using 17.4 fb−1 of √s = 8 TeV proton-proton collision data recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. Each top squark is assumed to decay to a b- and an s-quark, leading to four quarks in the final state. Background discrimination is achieved with the use of b-tagging

We report the first measurement of the fraction of J/ψ mesons coming from B-meson decay (FB→J/ψ) in p+p collisions at s=510 GeV. The measurement is performed using the forward silicon vertex detector and central vertex detector at PHENIX, which provide precise tracking and distance-of-closest-approach determinations, enabling the statistical separation of J/ψ due to B-meson decays from prompt J/ψ.

Part of a wider project on how the Vietnam War (1945-1975) is remembered by three key collectives, Vietnamese communists, Vietnamese Americans and the United States, this article focuses primarily on the latter. Using the theory of cultural trauma as its framework, this is a study in trauma and collective memory, its impact and the social processes through which such memory is constructed and main

Background: Survivors of childhood cancer are at increased risk for a wide range of late effects. However, no large population-based studies have included the whole range of somatic diagnoses including subgroup diagnoses and all main types of childhood cancers. Therefore, we aimed to provide the most detailed overview of the long-term risk of hospitalisation in survivors of childhood cancer. Metho

Targeted quantitative mass spectrometry of immunoaffinity-enriched peptides, termed immuno-multiple reaction monitoring (iMRM), is a powerful method for determining the relative abundance of proteins in complex mixtures, like plasma or whole tissue. This technique combines 1,000-fold enrichment potential of antibodies for target peptides with the selectivity of multiple reaction monitoring mass sp

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations contain considerable information with regard to the motions and fluctuations of a protein, the magnitude of which can be used to estimate conformational entropy. Here we survey conformational entropy across protein fold space using the Dynameomics database, which represents the largest existing data set of protein MD simulations for representatives of essentiall
