Two-dimensional steady gravity waves with vorticity are considered on water of finite depth. The dispersion equation is analysed for general vorticity distributions, but under assumptions valid only for unidirectional shear flows. It is shown that for these flows (i) the general dispersion equation is equivalent to the Sturm-Liouville problem considered by Constantin & Strauss (Commun. Pure Ap

PURPOSE: To investigate the role of adiposity in the associations between ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption and head and neck cancer (HNC) and oesophageal adenocarcinoma (OAC) in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) cohort.METHODS: Our study included 450,111 EPIC participants. We used Cox regressions to investigate the associations between the consumption of

The European Spallation Source (ESS) infrastructure is being constructed in Lund, and will be one of the most powerful research facilities of its type in the world. The ESS linear accelerator (linac) utilizes different accelerating sections where a wide variety of techniques should be employed to accelerate a beam of protons to 2 GeV kinetic energy through Radio Frequency (RF) cavities before bein

This article analyzes the appropriate types of water rights systems for different regions with varying water resource conditions in China. The most appropriate water rights systems for various zones were determined by comparing the value of influencing factors with corresponding thresholds in China’s second-class zones of water resources. It is shown that a riparian rights system under water withd

This incisive Research Handbook addresses the growing recognition within the international law community that natural resource governance and environmental protection are crucial aspects of peace processes, both as a security imperative and as an opportunity for peacebuilding. Examining the impact of international normative and institutional frameworks on environmental peacebuilding, this Research

Charles Darwin (1809–1882) är främst känd för sin evolutionsteori– om arters utveckling genom naturligt urval. Hans övriga arbetenär mindre kända. Mycket handlade om växter – om mekanismer för pollinering, blombiologi, rörelser och förmågan att ta upp näring från andra organismer – sådant som intresserat honom sedan studietiden i Cambridge. Med tiden kom han att publicera ett flertal böcker och en

The GAGA box of the rat serine protease inhibitor 2 (spi 2) genes not only acts as a basal promoter element, but also mediates transcriptional activation by growth hormone and interleukin-6. The GAGA box is separated from the TATA box by only 12 bp, and this close association is required for efficient transcription. Hence, the GAGA box may influence transcription efficiency through interactions be

The topic of this thesis is to study which women are represented in hair-adds, -advice and -articles. Also, to study in what way representation has changes from 1970s to 21st century. The study is based on eighty-seven volumes from the magazine Veckorevyn from the period 1970-2000. The results shown that representation is mainly white woman, and this reflecting how society views women of other nat

A protein interacting with an A-T-rich region that is a positive control element within the SP6 κ promoter was purified and identified as CArG-box binding factor-A. The purified protein was shown to interact specifically with the coding strand of single-stranded DNA and, with lower affinity, with double-stranded DNA. A mutation that inhibited binding of the protein to the A-T-rich region also abor

Three new cobalt complexes of the general formula [CoIII(L)Cl]2+, where L is one of five pentadentate nitrogen-donor ligands based on the N4Py framework, have been synthesized and characterized fully by UV−visible and NMR spectroscopies, high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HRESI-MS), X-ray crystallography, and electrochemistry. The electrocatalytic capabilities of these comp

Bakgrund: Sjuksköterskor inom akutsjukvård arbetar under högt tempo och med många patienter. Det är ett arbete som kräver ett känslomässigt engagemang. Långvarig och upprepad exponering för patienters lidande och trauman kan leda till emotionell utmattning och påverka sjuksköterskans empatiska förmåga. Emotionella, kognitiva och beteendemässiga förändringar hos sjuksköterskan leder till konsekven

Recension av Henrik Berggren, Landet utanför 1–3: Sverige och kriget 1939–1940 (2018); Sverige och kriget 1940–1942 (2021); Sverige och kriget 1943–1945 (2023)

The main goal with the thesis was to design, construct and evaluate a system able to drive and brake a mechanical axis to simulate loads and stored rotational energy - a hardware force simulator. The force simulator was then to be integrated in a existing hardware-in-the-loop testing rig to enhance the mechanical dynamics of door simulations. The force simulator was to be realised using a brushed

In this conceptual article, we argue that artificial intelligence (AI) systems are contributing to the generation of an environment of affordances for everyday information practices through which they exert influence on people and the planet in ways that often are left unrecognised. We illustrate our insights by focusing on the practices of information seeking in everyday life, suggesting that the

Whole-body glucose homeostasis is coordinated through secretion of glucagon and insulin from pancreatic islets. When glucose is low, glucagon is released from a-cells to stimulate hepatic glucose production. However, the mechanisms that regulate glucagon secretion from pancreatic a-cells remain unclear. Here we show that in a-cells, the interaction between fatty acid oxidation and glucose metaboli

Importance: Despite some promising preclinical and clinical data, it remains uncertain whether remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) with transient cycles of limb ischemia and reperfusion is an effective treatment for acute stroke. Objective: To evaluate the effect of RIC when initiated in the prehospital setting and continued in the hospital on functional outcome in patients with acute stroke. Desig
