Crystal growth, structure, magnetic properties and theoretical exchange interaction calculations of Cu2MnBO5

Single crystals of ludwigite Cu2MnBO5 were synthesized by flux growth technique. The detailed structural and magnetic characterizations of the synthesized samples have been carried out. The cations composition of the studied crystal was determined using X-ray diffraction and EXAFS technique, the resulting composition differ from the content of the initial Mn2O3–CuO components of the flux. Magnetic

Path creation as a process of resource alignment and anchoring : Industry formation for on-site water recycling in Beijing

Where and how new industrial paths emerge are much debated questions in economic geography, especially in light of the recent evolutionary turn. This article contributes to the ongoing debate on path creation with a new analytical framework that specifies the formation of generic resources in embryonic industries. It suggests that path creation processes are not only conditioned by preexisting reg

Labor market consequences of childhood onset type 1 diabetes

This paper examines the effect of the onset of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) before 15 years of age on labor market outcomes and contributes to the literature on effects of childhood health on adult socioeconomic status. Using national Swedish socioeconomic register data 1991–2010 for 2485 individuals born 1972–1978 with onset of T1DM in 1977–1993, we find that T1DM in childhood has a negative e

The influence of sorption hysteresis on diffusion coefficients represented with different moisture potentials

This paper continues the discussion in a previous paper [Saeidpour and Wadsö doi:10.1016/j.cemconres.2016.02.003] where a clear effect of sorption hysteresis was seen in moisture diffusion coefficients for cement-based materials. Coefficients with vapor content as potential (Dv) had different values depending on whether the sample was in absorption or in desorption. In this paper we recalculate th

Testing the role of glucose in self-control : A meta-analysis

The glucose view of self-control posited glucose as the physiological substrate of self-control “resource”, which results in three direct corollaries: 1) engaging in a specific self-control activity would result in reduced glucose level; 2) the remaining glucose level after initial exertion of self-control would be positively correlated with following self-control performance; 3) restoring glucose

Effects of an 8-year childhood physical activity intervention on musculoskeletal gains and fracture risk

Background Physical activity (PA) in childhood is associated with musculoskeletal benefits while the effect on fracture risk is yet to be determined. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether extension of a PA intervention leads to improvement in musculoskeletal traits with an accompanied reduced fracture risk. We hypothesized that the PA program would have beneficial effects in both sexes, bu

Parents’ years in Sweden and children’s educational performance

This paper assesses the intergenerational effect of immigrant parents’ incorporation experiences, measured as time in Sweden, on the educational performance of their children, using full Swedish population registry data for 22 cohorts. Employing family fixed-effects, we examine final course grades and national standardized test scores in Swedish and math by parents’ country of origin. Results show

Effect of guard cells electroporation on drying kinetics and aroma compounds of Genovese basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) leaves

In this study the effect of the application of pulsed electric fields as pre-treatment before air drying of basil leaves at 50 °C was investigated. The parameters of the electric treatment were designed in such a way that they either (i) electroporated the tissue reversibly (tissue remains viable) and without electroporating the guard cells in the stomata complex (65 pulses of 600 V/cm, 120 μs pul

Predictions of temperature and pressure fields due to collapse of a bubble in sulfuric acid solution under ultrasound

A gas bubble under the influence of an ultrasonic field so strong to destroy any material due to high pressures and temperatures reached during the collapse is the topic of the present paper. In the current work, simulations have been performed to describe the radial dynamics of a gas (argon) bubble being strongly forced to periodic oscillation in a highly viscous liquid like aqueous sulfuric acid

The impact of liquid preloads varying in macronutrient content on postprandial kinetics of amino acids relative to appetite in healthy adults

The underlying mechanisms for the effect of proteins on appetite regulation, especially in presence of variable macronutrient composition, are not fully elucidated. The present study investigated the absorption kinetics of proteins after co-ingestion with the other macronutrients and examined the impact of circulating amino acids on appetite and satiety-related gut hormones. A randomized, within-s

Colour in the eye of the beholder : receptor sensitivities and neural circuits underlying colour opponency and colour perception

Colour vision — the ability to discriminate spectral differences irrespective of variations in intensity — has two basic requirements: (1) photoreceptors with different spectral sensitivities, and (2) neural comparison of signals from these photoreceptors. Major progress has been made understanding the evolution of the basic stages of colour vision–opsin pigments, screening pigments, and the first

From REDD+ forests to green landscapes? Analyzing the emerging integrated landscape approach discourse in the UNFCCC

This paper explores an emerging discourse at the UNFCCC level - the integrated landscape approach discourse, which brings new understandings of how to approach forests in a climate change nexus. Its proponents argue that forestry, agriculture and other land uses cannot be seen in isolation, but need to be integrated into a single management process. I apply argumentative discourse analysis (Hajer,

Transient transport of heat, mass, and momentum in paperboard including dynamic phase change of water

A theory to describe deforming moist paperboard in environments where both temperature and pressure change significantly during a short period of time is presented. Paperboard is viewed as an orthotropic triphasic porous medium consisting of fibers, bound water and moist air. Furthermore, the moist air is considered as a mixture of two miscible gases, namely dry air and water vapor. A two–scale hy

Urban Cemetery Animals : An Exploration of Animals' Place in the Human Cemetery

This paper investigates the place of animals in the contemporary Swedish human cemetery. It does this by looking at how animals are admitted to cemeteries – alive and dead, above and below ground, physically as well as symbolically. The aim is to shed light on the various ways that animals are experienced and treated in the cemetery, and to explore how this both reflects our changing attitudes to

The effect of a nurse led telephone supportive care programme on patients’ quality of life, received information and health care contacts after oesophageal cancer surgery—A six month RCT-follow-up study

Background Following oesophagectomy, a major surgical procedure, it is known that patients suffer from severely reduced quality of life and have an unmet need for postoperative support. Still, there is a lack of research testing interventions aiming to enhance the patients’ life situation after this surgical procedure. Aim The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of a nurse led telephone su

Numerical and Symbolic Methods for Dynamic Optimization

Mathematical optimization is becoming increasingly important for engineering in general and control in particular. This thesis deals with numerical methods, primarily direct collocation, and symbolic methods, primarily block-triangular ordering and tearing, for numerical solution of general dynamic optimization problems involving dynamical systems modeled by large-scale differential-algebraic equa
