Vertical III-V heterostructure MOSFETs exhibit outstanding performance at reduced supply voltages. In this paper, we report on a novel process of extending high-speed device operation towards higher voltages. The device vertical geometry allows for engineering a field plate by covering the nanowire drain area with a 10-nm-thick SiO2 film. The film acts as a field moderator in the device drain regi
Objectives: To compare the short- and long-term emotional distress (grief, anxiety and depressive symptoms) after early miscarriage and satisfaction with treatment between women randomized to expectant management vs vaginal misoprostol treatment. Methods: This was a preplanned analysis of data collected during a randomized controlled trial comparing expectant management with misoprostol treatment
A recent statement from the European-Society-for-Sexual-Medicine has highlighted the limitations of using the rat model for nerve-sparing prostatectomy. The use of young rats with no comorbidities and the early evaluation of the erectile function (EF) are deemed a source of bias. Our aim was to evaluate the long-term consequences in EF of bilateral nerve cavernous crush- injury (BNCI) in type 1 di
The influence of personality factors, school achievement goals, academic efficacy, and stressload of serious problems on final grades was studied by giving a questionnaire, The Perceived Stress and Control Assessment Scale, to 915 Swedish high school students. A new measure, Stressload Index, was created by extending the Control-Stress Index. Structural Equation Modeling analysis revealed that the
Aquaporins are water channel proteins facilitating passive transport of water across cellular membranes. Aquaporins are over- or ectopically expressed in a multitude of cancers, including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, which is a highly aggressive cancer with low survival rate. Evidence suggests that aquaporins can affect multiple cellular processes involved in cancer development and progressio
Objectives: In this proof of concept study, a deep learning–based method for automatic analysis of digital mammograms (DM) as a tool to aid in assessment of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) treatment response in breast cancer (BC) was examined. Methods: Baseline DM from 453 patients receiving NACT between 2005 and 2019 were included in the study cohort. A deep learning system, using the aforementio
Background Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is clinically heterogeneous. We examine its potential genetic heterogeneity as a function of sex, age, clinical features and mode of ascertainment. Methods In the Swedish population born 1932-1995 (n = 5 829 952), we examined the genetic risk profiles for AUD, major depression (MD), anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, drug use disorder (DUD), attention defici
We describe a case of an adolescent male with Niemann-Pick Type C (NP-C), a neurodegenerative lysosomal lipid storage disorder, who presented with recurrent catatonia which required repeated treatment with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). During the ECT-course, seizure threshold increased substantially, leading to questions about the influence of NP-C on neuronal excitability. In this exemplary EC
PREMIERE: Premiered by Hu Liu during the 2017 China-ASEAN Music Week at the Guangxi University of the Arts on May 28th.NOTE:Imitating the Vivacity of the Human Voice, is a meditation on diversity and the roiling of coexistence. In this piece disparate components from east and west do not suggest a transcendent unification. Rather, rhetorical devices such as “Tiaogong” [跳弓] or “Schleifer” become so
Lingua-Palatal #2, has been totally recomposed in 2020, and is written for four voices that use close amplification to heighten the resonant differences between the oral and nasal cavities. This should be a very strong effect, as if the listener is actually inside the cavity. Therefore, special care must be given to the microphone type and placement. It might even be possible to put microphones in
BACKGROUND: There is no consensus on best content, set-up, category of involved healthcare professionals or duration of rehabilitation-programs for patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain, and outcomes show varying results. Individual care regimes for sub-groups of patients have been proposed.AIM: To describe the type of interventions used in a physiotherapist-led, rehabilitation-program for pa
NanoMAX is the first hard X-ray nanoprobe beamline at the MAX IV laboratory. It utilizes the unique properties of the world's first operational multi-bend achromat storage ring to provide an intense and coherent focused beam for experiments with several methods. In this paper we present the beamline optics design in detail, show the performance figures, and give an overview of the surrounding infr
Novel methods for the inference of radiation intensityfunctions defined over known surfaces are proposed, intendedfor use in surveying applications with mobile spectrometers.Previous approaches, based on the maximum likelihoodexpectation maximization (ML-EM) framework with Poissonlikelihoods, are extended to better handle spatially continuousintensity statistics using ideas from Gaussian filtering
This article addresses the distributed cooperative control design for a class of sampled-data teleoperation systems with multiple slave mobile manipulators grasping an object in the presence of communication bandwidth limitation and time delays. Discrete-time information transmission with time-varying delays is assumed, and the Round-Robin (RR) scheduling protocol is used to regulate the data tran
Epithelial ovarian cancer (OC) is a disease with high mortality due to vague early clinical symptoms. Benign ovarian cysts are common and accurate diagnosis remains a challenge because of the molecular heterogeneity of OC. We set out to investigate whether the disease diversity seen in ovarian cyst fluids and tumor tissue could be detected in plasma. Using existing mass spectrometry (MS)-based pro
