In contrast with human hemoglobin (Hb) in red blood cells, plant Hbs do not transport oxygen, instead research points towards nitrogen metabolism. Using comprehensive and integrated biophysical methods we characterized three sugar beet Hbs: BvHb1.1, BvHb1.2 and BvHb2. Their affinities for oxygen, CO, and hexacoordination were determined. Their role in nitrogen metabolism was studied by assessing t
The twisted elliptical tube heat exchangers with the novel coupling-vortex chessboard tube layout (TETHXs-CV) were simulated with the RNG k-ε model in software Fluent 15.0. The shell-side flow pattern at the tangential points between adjacent tubes in traditional TETHX is countercurrent while that in TETHX-CV is concurrent, which helps enhance heat transfer capability without any extra manufacturi
We demonstrate reliable machine-learned tuning of quantum-dot-based artificial Kitaev chains to Majorana sweet spots, using the covariance matrix adaptation algorithm. We show that a loss function based on local tunneling spectroscopy features of a chain with two additional sensor dots added at its ends provides a reliable metric to navigate parameter space and find points where crossed Andreev re
Micelles play an important role in both experimental and computational studies of the effect of lipid interactions on biological systems. The spherical geometry and the dynamical behavior of micelles makes generating micelle structures for use in molecular simulations challenging. An easy tool for generating simulation-ready micelle models, covering a broad range of lipids, is highly desirable. He
Background Evidence-based guidance for starting ages of screening for first-degree relatives (FDRs) of patients with prostate cancer (PCa) to prevent stage III/IV or fatal PCa is lacking in current PCa screening guidelines. We aimed to provide evidence for risk-adapted starting age of screening for relatives of patients with PCa. Methods and findings In this register-based nationwide cohort study,
In this paper we consider calibration of hydraulic models for district heating networks based on operational data. We extend previous theoretical work on the topic to handle real-world complications, namely unknown valve characteristics and hysteresis. We generate two datasets in the Smart Water Infrastructure Laboratory in Aalborg, Denmark, on which we evaluate the proposed procedure. In the firs
Time-domain spectroscopy encompasses a wide range of techniques, such as Fourier-transform infrared, pump-probe, Fourier-transform Raman, and two-dimensional electronic spectroscopies. These methods enable various applications, such as molecule characterization, excited state dynamics studies, or spectral classification. Typically, these techniques rarely use sampling schemes that exploit the prio
Background: The 2019 European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP2) and the Sarcopenia Definitions and Outcomes Consortium (SDOC) have recently proposed sarcopenia definitions. However, comparisons of the performance of these approaches in terms of thresholds employed, concordance in individuals and prediction of important health-related outcomes such as death are limited. We addre
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major medical and public health problem throughout the world, especially in developing countries including Ethiopia. Its control program is currently being challenged by the spread of drug-resistant TB, which is the result of poor treatment outcomes. Hence, this study assessed poor adult TB treatment outcomes and associated factors in Gibe Woreda, Southern Ethiopia. An
Photo-induced cross-linking of unmodified proteins (PICUP) has been used in the past to study size distributions of protein assemblies. PICUP may, for example, overcome the significant experimental challenges related to the transient nature, heterogeneity, and low concentration of amyloid protein oligomers relative to monomeric and fibrillar species. In the current study, a reaction chamber was de
Background: Surgical resection of post-chemotherapy residual masses for metastatic seminoma is discussed controversially with regard to oncological and functional outcome. Furthermore, the role of FDG-PET/CT to detect vital seminoma is still unclear. It is the aim of this study is to report the outcomes of patients with pure seminoma who underwent PC-RPLND. Methods: In this retrospective multi-ins
In this master's thesis a fully automated method is presented for seg-menting bones and cartilage in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of theknee. The knee joint is the most complex joint in the human body andsupports the weight of the whole body. This complexity and acute task ofthe knee joint leads to a disabling disease called Osteoarthritis among theadult population. The disease leads to loss o
In this paper, I argue for how environmental psychology as a discipline could benefit both conceptually and practically from considering basic psychological needs as specified within Self-Determination Theory (Ryan & Deci, 2017). I begin with a definition of basic psychological needs as “innate psychological nutriments that are essential for ongoing psychological growth, integrity, and well-be
Pilots in long-duration flight missions in single-seat aircraft may be affected by fatigue. This study determined associations between cognitive performance, emotions and physiological activation and deactivation–measured by heart rate variability (HRV)–in a simulated 11-h flight mission in the 39 Gripen aircraft. Twelve participants volunteered for the study. Perceived fatigue was measured by the
This study aims to describe the structure of land management in Kosovo, and existing issues with the current urban planning strategy in the country. The land is currently utilized to the best extent when developing the urban area and the system seems to move toward more necessary controls. Two specific factors have been recognized as influencing the urban planning process. One is illegal buildings
DocHdl1OnPREADYtmpTarget 119 ORNIS SVECICA 25:119–130, 2015 Abstract Introduction This study of a population of Pied Flycatchers Ficedula hypoleuca breeding in nest boxes in sub- alpine birch forest habitats at Ammarnäs, northern Sweden, was carried out in 1965–1976. When the study started it was the first to explore the breed- ing biology of the Pied Flycatcher in subalpine habitats. The species
