Using a novel experimental approach based on near-infrared femtosecond absorption spectroscopy, we have determined the energy of the S-1 state of the carotenoid spheroidene. The energy of this state is 13 400 +/- 90 cm(-1) at both 293 and 186 K, showing that there is no temperature-induced shift of the S-1 level. A discrepancy of about 800 cm(-1) between the S-1 energy determined here and that obt
Even though the concept of health and its importance has been widely discussed in health care during recent decades, mental health services have been criticised for adopting a biomedical perspective, which does not sufficiently consider the concept of health. The aim of the present study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Health Questionnaire, a newly developed questionnaire to
The effect of pH on the kinetics of the bioelectrocatalytic reduction of H2O2 catalysed by horseradish peroxidase (HRP) has been studied at –50 mV vs. AgjAgCl on HRP-modified Au electrodes placed in a wall-jet flow-through electrochemical cell. Native HRP (nHRP) and a nonglycosylated recombinant form containing a six-histidine tag at the C-terminus, CHisrHRP, produced by genetic engineering of non
BackgroundRectal washout (RW) is performed to eliminate intraluminal cancer cells and thereby reducing the risk of local recurrence (LR). The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the importance of RW in rectal cancer surgery.MethodPaper I: Survey of the current practice of RW among Swedish colorectal units.Paper II: The association between RW and 30-day postoperative complications after a
A novel way to produce ultrathin transparent carbon layers on tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) substrates is developed. The ITO surface is coated with cellulose nanofibrils (from sisal) via layer-by-layer electrostatic binding with poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) or PDDAC acting as the binder. The cellulose nanofibril-PDDAC composite film is then vacuum-carbonised at 5008C. The resulting carbon
The flavour-tagging algorithms developed by the ATLAS Collaboration and used to analyse its dataset of s=13 TeV pp collisions from Run 2 of the Large Hadron Collider are presented. These new tagging algorithms are based on recurrent and deep neural networks, and their performance is evaluated in simulated collision events. These developments yield considerable improvements over previous jet-flavou
Residual stress is of great importance on the fatigue life of components; nevertheless, most of the simulations of turning operation focus on the first cut and ignore the evolution of residual stress in sequential cutting. The present study aims to explore the surface residual stress profile along the feed direction during longitudinal turning, to understand the impact of sequential cuts on turnin
We investigated the change of the prevalence of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in Bangladesh from 2011 to 2018 across different socioeconomic groups as well as the factors associated with the changes in prevalence. We used the two waves of the Bangladesh Demographic and Health Surveys conducted in 2011 and 2017–2018. Modified Poisson regression model was used to estimate the prevalence rate and r
This Letter presents the measurement of the fiducial and differential cross-sections of the electroweak production of a Zγ pair in association with two jets. The analysis uses 140 fb−1 of LHC proton–proton collision data taken at s=13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector during the years 2015–2018. Events with a Z boson candidate decaying into either an e+e− or μ+μ− pair, a photon and two jets are s
Modern safe and high-quality products not only need to have desired properties in terms of geometry, material, features, etc. from a position-interaction point of view. Also compliance, deflection, impact and safety features depending on force-interacting properties are of (increasing) importance. As a key such example, the mechanical response of car seats has been studied, including the contact f
The state-of-the-art in development tools today provides users with a large number of both syntactic and semantic services, such as syntax highlighting, name completions and refactorings. Preferably, every language should have sophisticated tool support, but unfortunately, the manual task of tool development is both time-consuming and error-prone, making it too costly for small language communitie
Highlighting the central importance of theological configurations of immortality and eternal life from 1914-1945, Mårten Björk explores the key writings of Franz Rosenzweig, Karl Barth and Oskar Goldberg to situate their ideas in relation to the political turmoil of the period, including the rise of social Darwinism, nationalism and fascism. The conversations happening among Christian and Jewish t
People living in urban and industrialized societies, which are expanding globally, spend more than 90% of their time in the indoor environment, breathing indoor air (IA). Despite decades of research and advocacy, most countries do not have legislated indoor air quality (IAQ) performance standards for public spaces that address concentration levels of IA pollutants. Few building codes address opera
Representations of the slim body have traditionally been at the centre of scholarly interest in dieting culture, whereas food often remains a shadowy presence compared with more persistent themes of body discipline, slenderness and anti-fat messages. This article offers a different perspective on weight-loss dieting, placing food at the very centre of the analysis. By examining different diets in
Imidacloprid is one of the most widely used soluble neonicotinoid insecticide, which is non–volatile and persists in the soil, with hazardous effects on birds, honeybees, and mammals. It is used in both agricultural and veterinary applications, and is found in at least 7% of European topsoils. One of the commercially available formulations is Confidor O–TEQ® that exhibits higher retention, spreadi

Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by disease-causing variants in the gene coding for arylsulfatase A, leading to deficient enzyme activity and subsequent accumulation of sulfatides. MLD is characterized by demyelination and neurodegeneration of the central and peripheral nervous system, manifesting as progressive motor and cognitive
To address the critical need for efficient biogas upgrading, this study systematically investigates the continuous absorption of CO2 and H2S from biogas using a choline chloride-monoethanolamine deep eutectic solvent (ChCl-MEA DES). Experiments were conducted in a continuous flow reactor under two scenarios: single-component absorption and simultaneous absorption of CO2 and H2S. The influence of k
With the shift toward de-escalating surgery in breast cancer, prediction models incorporating imaging can reassess the need for surgical axillary staging. This study employed advancements in deep learning to comprehensively evaluate routine mammograms for preoperative lymph node metastasis prediction. Mammograms and clinicopathological data from 1265 cN0 T1-T2 breast cancer patients (primary surge
