The Amazonian Craton is host to one of Earth’s largest Proterozoic silicic large igneous provinces (SLIPs), the Orocaima SLIP (ca. 1.98 Ga). Nevertheless, the mechanism(s) responsible for this large-flux felsic magmatic event and its relationships with regional tectonics and/or mantle processes remain debated. New geochronologic and geochemical results from multiple mafic dike swarms in the Amazon

New technology is always coming and with that comes changes. The technology has made it easier to fulfil each customer's demand. The customer has today much more different products to choose between and the stores have problems to get the right product to the right place at the right time. It is hard for the supply chain to forecast what the customer is going to buy the next day, especially if

Background: Self-efficacy refers to a person´s confidence in carrying out treatment-related activities and constitutes the foundation of self-management as well as long-term follow-up after heart transplantation. Exploring the heart recipients´ experiences by means of self-report instruments provides healthcare professionals with valuable information on how to supply self-management support after

In October 2016 the European Border and Coast Guard [EBCG] was installed as the new institutional structure responsible for border management. In contrast to its predecessor Frontex, the EBCG consists not only of an agency but also of the respective national authorities, responsible for border management and coastguard functions. A better understanding of the creation of the EBCG is needed because

We report two cases of Streptococcus pneumoniae-associated hemolytic uremic syndrome (SP-HUS) caused by serotype 3. One case occurred in an unvaccinated boy and 1 in a girl vaccinated with the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine. SP-HUS must be considered in children, and conjugate vaccines may be less effective against serotype 3 than other serotypes.

ACT (α1-antichymotrypsin), a serine antiproteinase with specificity against neutrophil cathepsin G, is homologous with α1-antitrypsin, plasminogen activator inhibitor and angiotensinogen, all with known amino-terminal microheterogeneity. Here we report that the two predominant isoforms of desialylated ACT obtained on isoelectric focusing correspond to a microheterogeneity at the amino terminus of

Polarised neutron beams are used in disciplines as diverse as magnetism,soft matter or biology. However, most of these applications often suffer from low flux also because the existing neutron polarising methods imply the filtering of one of the spin states, with a transmission of 50% at maximum. With the purpose of using all neutrons that are usually discarded, we propose a system that splits the

The title compound forms as biphasic single crystals containing the α- and β-polymorphs. The structure of both polymorphs was solved and refined from single crystal X-ray data in a simultaneous refinement. The structures consist of rods of composition Sb3O4 separated by isolated iodine ions. The two phases differ only in the next nearest neighbour arrangement. The orthorhombic α-phase crystallizes

The extreme 2018 hot drought that affected central and northern Europe led to the worst wildfire season in Sweden in over a century. The Ljusdal fire complex, the largest area burnt that year (8995 ha), offered a rare opportunity to quantify the combined impacts of wildfire and post-fire management on Scandinavian boreal forests. We present chamber measurements of soil CO2 and CH4 fluxes, soil mic

We compute the O(αsα2) and O(αs2α) contributions to the production cross section of a Z boson with one b jet at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and study their phenomenological relevance for LHC physics. The accurate prediction of hadronic Z+b-jet production is needed to control a background that greatly affects both the measurement of Higgs-boson properties and the searches of new physics at the

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vår forskningsgrupp har tidigare påvisat kraftiga förändringar i genuttryck för neurotrofiner, en familj av tillväxtfaktorer för nervceller, och deras receptorer i kortikala och hippokampala nervceller vid olika hjärnskador. Det är till stora delar okänt vilken funktion neurotrofiner har efter hjärnskador, men neurotrofinsvaret skulle kunna vara en skyddande mekanism ocThis study explores the role of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) for neuronal vulnerability and neurogenesis following cerebral ischemia in the rat. Cerebral ischemia results in selective neuronal cell loss in specific brain regions. We here demonstrate the rank order of vulnerability in two regions affected by global forebrain ischemia, i.e., hippocampus and striatum, by combining specifi

Sustainable energy storage and conversion explores innovative methods to efficiently store and transform energy from various renewable sources. It focuses on technologies like advanced batteries, hydrogen production, fuel cells, and thermochemical systems as well as safety aspects of battery storage systems. Research aims to enhance energy density, reduce costs, and improve scalability, enabling r
