Several investigations have reported that the lift-off length on diesel jets depends strongly on the ambient temperature. The spacing between adjacent jets is thereby expected to influence the lift-off length, as it affects the amount of hot, burned gases present between the jets. Measurements on an 8-hole nozzle in an optical diesel engine showed that the lift-off length can be transient at all t
Single chains of the conjugated polymer MEH-PPV (poly(2-methoxy-5-(2'-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene)) were studied with wide-field fluorescence microscopy (dispersion in inert polymer matrices) and with fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (chloroform solution). The fluorescence yield of individual molecules in matrices was found to be 1-2 orders of magnitude lower than that in solution an
Neutron-rich silver isotopes were populated in the fragmentation of a 136Xe beam and the relativistic fission of 238U. The fragments were mass analyzed with the GSI Fragment Separator and subsequently implanted into a passive stopper. Isomeric transitions were detected by 105 high-purity germanium detectors. Eight isomeric states were observed in 122-126Ag nuclei. The level schemes of 122Ag, 123Ag
By using a combination of synchrotron photoemission and a finite element model, the layer-by-layer stoichiometry of pulsed laser deposited La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (LSMO) thin films is extracted. For 3- and 5-unit-cell films, the LSMO stoichiometry at the LSMO/SrTiO3 interface has been studied, and it is found that the Sr surface segregation is reversed at the lower interface such that it becomes La rich an

BJOG 2012; DOI: 10.1111/j.1471-0528.2012.03470.x. Objective To describe a large study on pregnancy outcome after vaccination against H1N1 during the 2009/10 pandemic. Design A cohort study of women vaccinated with Pandemrix(®) during
Seasonal patterns in assimilation of externally produced, allochthonous, organic matter into aquatic food webs are poorly understood, especially in brown-water lakes. We studied the allochthony (share biomass of terrestrial origin) in cladoceran, calanoid and cyclopoid micro-crustacean zooplankton from late winter to fall during two years in a small humic lake (Sweden). The use of allochthonous re
Arrays of silicon nanowires (Si NW) may be used in the development of implantable drug delivery systems. Here, we performed short-and long-term cultures of mouse retinal cells on substrates consisting of high aspect ratio Si NW, which confers high porosity to the surface. As controls, cells were grown on flat silicon substrates. The cell phenotype was assessed using immunocytochemistry, fluorescen
This publication describes the methods used to measure the centrality of inelastic Pb-Pb collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 2.76 TeV per colliding nucleon pair with ALICE. The centrality is a key parameter in the study of the properties of QCD matter at extreme temperature and energy density, because it is directly related to the initial overlap region of the colliding nuclei. Geometrical pr
Background: The Southern Swedish Malignant Melanoma (SSMM) research team is a truly cross functional group with members from oncology, clinical, surgery, bioinformatics, proteomics, and genomics initiatives. The SSMM’s objectives and goals are to develop, build and utilize cutting edge biobanks and OMICS platforms to better understand disease pathology and drug mechanisms. Within the research team
Activated sludge model (ASM) is now widely used for wastewater treatment plant design, optimization and operation. Values for parameters to be used are vital for the accuracy of the modeling approach. This study aims to establish the scientific link between typical treatment and biodegradability of different chemical oxygen demand (COD) fractionation of palm oil mill effluent (POME), by means of r
Magnetic properties of particles are generally determined from randomly oriented ensembles and the influence of the particle orientation on the magnetic response is neglected. Here, we report on the magnetic characterization of anisotropic spindle-type hematite particles. The easy axis of magnetization is within the basal plane of hematite, which is oriented perpendicular to the spindle axis. Two
The Swedish Antarctic Research Expedition named “SWEDARP” was performed during October 1988 through April 1989. The aim of our project was to study the radioactivity in air and water from Gothenburg to the Antarctic. Between Gothenburg and the Equator, the average activity concentration of 7Be in air was 4.3 ± 0.7 mBq/m3. The activity concentration of 7Be in the South Atlantic down to Antarctica v

Background: Substance use disorders and complications, such as drug overdose (OD) and suicide attempt (SA), are common among criminal justice clients. Methods: Since 2001, the Swedish Prison and Probation Service has assessed substance-using clients with the Addiction Severity Index (ASI), a semi-structured instrument widely used to examine substance-related problems in different domains of life.
Comparative research related to any aspect of the process of breach in either the pretrial, sentencing or release phases is relatively rare. Comparative studies of decision making in the specific context of breach process are particularly lacking. One reason for the dearth of research in this area is the many challenges presented by comparative research across different jurisdictions. This article
