Electroactive microorganisms possess the unique ability to transfer electrons to or from solid phase electron conductors, e.g., electrodes or minerals, through various physiological mechanisms. The processes are commonly known as extracellular electron transfer and broadly harnessed in microbial electrochemical systems, such as microbial biosensors, microbial electrosynthesis, or microbial fuel ce

Introduction: Home-based, clinically feasible trials in non–dialysis-dependent patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are sparse. We compared the effects of 2 different exercise training programs on physical performance, and measured glomerular filtration rate (mGFR) and albuminuria level in patients with CKD stages 3 to 5. Methods: This is a single-center, randomized controlled trial (RCT) c

On-line hyphenation of extraction with chromatography has been explored in several different types of combinations. However, monitoring the complete process of a dynamic, continuous-flow extraction is not possible with any hyphenated system reported so far. The current work demonstrates that this challenging task can be effectively fulfilled by using a parallel sampling interface, which mimics the

Statement of Purpose: Chronic lung diseases are one of the major health problems that cause death and disability. Approximately 65 million people suffer from chronic lung diseases, and the number of patients is predicted to increase worldwide 1 . Lung transplantation is the only available treatment option for patients at end-stage disease. However, there is a chronic shortage of donor organs, re

This chapter discusses the history of the modern German university and the topicality of Wilhelm von Humboldt’s ideas. A key issue is how the Humboldtian tradition, with its origin in Prussia around the year 1800, was transformed and has informed debates about research, higher education and academic freedom ever since. Drawing on recent scholarship, this chapter investigates the ways in which Humb

The article provides empirical evidence on the use of two types of security in medieval finance: conditional hostageship and the community responsibility system. Both exposed guarantors to imprisonment or confiscation. Evidence from Dordrecht shows the former was frequently applied but was not very disruptive. However, the latter community responsibility system did lead to reprisals against mercha

Charge balance functions reflect the evolution of charged pair correlations throughout the stagesof pair production, dynamical diffusion, and hadronization in heavy-ion collisions. Microscopic mod-eling of these correlations in the full collision volume shows that the balance functions are sensitiveto the diffusivity of light quarks when studied as functions of relative azimuthal angle. By restric

Folkesundhed – bag om intentioner og strategier stiller skarpt på de eksisterende sundhedsforståelser i Danmark samt de rammer, tiltag og inventioner, som aktuelt udspiller sig med sigte på at styrke folkesundheden.Bogens hovedsigte er danne at grundlag for og inspiration til nuancerede og kritiske refleksioner over de aktuelle folkesundhedspraksisser og -strategier. Bogen belyser bl.a. medicinske
