Human pluripotent stem cell-derived in vitro models, combined with advances in high-content live-cell calcium imaging, provide a powerful platform for disease modeling and drug screening. However, most calcium imaging analysis tools have been developed for in vivo applications with suboptimal features for processing data from cultured neurons. Here, we present LUMIN (Live-cell User Module for Imag

Al-Ga-based alloys are promising carriers of renewable energy, which can provide hydrogen by hydrolysis in challenging working environments. Manipulating their performance by different process conditions and comprehending the mechanisms are important for achieving directional design synthesis of alloys and enhancing their practicality. This study presents a novel approach to optimizing the hydroge

A quantitative understanding of the hydro-environmental factors that influence the occurrence of agricultural drought events would enable more strategic climate change adaptation and drought management plans. Practical drought hazard mapping remains challenging due to possible exclusion of the most pertinent drought drivers, and to the use of inadequate predictive models that cannot describe droug

Considering the ever increasing financial damages of floods and the need to manage the surface water, the use of new and more sufficient methods seems to be necessary. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate capability of the Gamma, Beta, Chi-square, and Weibull probability distribution functions (PDFs) for flood hydrograph derivation. The present study was conducted in the Bar watershed,

PurposeThis study aims to investigate how stakeholder cocreation in 3D city mapping initiatives can extend the role of digital urban platforms beyond administrative efficiency toward the negotiation and enhancement of place attractiveness. Drawing on a participatory case study of Trollhättan, Sweden, the paper explores the needs, expectations and aspirations articulated by diverse stakeholder grou

Evaluating the repellency of essential oils against Tetranychus urticae requires robust methodologies to detect time-dependent changes in their efficacy, due to differential efficacy, volatility, and sustained effectiveness. This study introduces the Pole-dance bioassay, a novel no-choice method optimized for high-throughput screening of time-dependent repellency, demonstrated through tests on twe

Recognizing the challenges in using botanicals as sustainable pest control agents due to compositional variation, this study addresses the limitations of traditional component-based approaches such as Hewlett and Plackett or Wadley’s models. Based on the assumption of noninteractivity among constituents, these models often fail to predict outcomes accurately due to dynamic intermolecular interacti

Along with the gradually accelerated urbanization process, simulating and predicting the future pattern of the city is of great importance to the prediction and prevention of some environmental, economic and urban issues. Previous studies have generally integrated traditional machine learning with cellular automaton (CA) models to simulate urban development. Nevertheless, difficulties still exist

En betydande del av Sveriges nationella ungdomspolitik syftar till att ge ungdomar större inflytande över samhällsutvecklingen. De målformuleringar som staten skapat genom bland annat regeringens liggande ungdomspolitiska proposition, har intresserat oss. Denna uppsats behandlar de normer som staten, genom olika dokument och skrifter, konstruerar för hur ungdomars politiska engagemang bör organise

Konflikten i Tjetjenien har blivit ett ihärdigt problem för såväl ryssar som tjetjener. Konflikten kan delas in i två faser, det första och det andra kriget. Våra studier av det empiriska materialet ledde till en misstanke om att det fanns luckor i den befintliga forskningen, i synnerhet gällande det andra kriget. Resultatet blev en teoriutvecklande studie om det andra Tjetjenienkrigets uppkomst o

Morphology and facet engineering have been proved efficient strategies to prepare high-performance photoelectrochemical (PEC) materials. WO3/BiVO4 heterojunction photoanodes with different morphologies were prepared by simply controlling the amount of electrodeposited charge. The coral-like WO3/BiVO4 photoanode with the orientation growth of {110} and {011} active facets of BiVO4 exhibited the opt

Människors oro och rädsla för stora rovdjur har under de senaste tio åren studerats inom tvärvetenskapliga samarbeten mellan miljöpsykologi, emotionspsykologi och viltekologi. Forskningen har fokuserat på att förstå underliggande orsaker till människors oro och rädsla samt att utveckla och utvärdera olika förvaltningsåtgärder för situationer då människor uttrycker rädsla för stora rovdjur.Naturvår

Standing wave ambient pressure photoemission spectroscopy (SWAPPS) is a promising method to investigate chemical and potential gradients across solid-vapor and solid-liquid interfaces under close-to-realistic environmental conditions, far away from high vacuum. Until now, these investigations have been performed only near room temperature, but for a wide range of interfacial processes, chief among

Dementia causes substantial suffering for affected persons and their family care-givers. Because no cure is available, it is important to investigate how alternative therapies can improve life for these individuals. For the current study, persons with dementia (PwD) were recruited from a specialized Memory Clinic in Sweden to en-gage in a choral singing intervention for 1 hour per week for four se

Compact dual-polarization doppler X-band weather radars (X-WRs) have recently gained attention in Scandinavia for sub-km and minute scale rainfall observations. This study develops a method for merging data from two X-WRs in Dalby and Helsingborg, southern Sweden (operated at five and one elevation angle levels, respectively) to improve the accuracy of rainfall observations. In total, 87 rainfall

With the aim to develop vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) membranes beyond state of the art, we have in the present work functionalized poly(p-terphenylene)s with highly acidic perfluorosulfonic groups and investigated their performance as proton exchange membranes (PEMs). Consequently, two poly(p-terphenylene alkylene)s tethered with perfluoroalkylsulfonic acid and perfluorophenylsulfonic acid,

Lead-based halide perovskite nanocrystals are highly luminescent materials, but their sensitivity to humid environments and their biotoxicity are still important challenges to solve. Here, we develop a stepwise approach to encapsulate representative CsPbBr3nanocrystals into water-soluble polymer capsules. We show that our protocol can be extended to nanocrystals coated with different ligands, enab
