We report on theoretical results of magnetic field induced transitions (MITs) in Ne- and Be-like ions without nuclear spin for two applicalions. Firstly, MITs are promising candidates in the determination of magnetic fields in plasmas. In our work on Ne-like ions we present accurate theoretical MIT rates for 2p(6 1)S(O) - 2p(5)3s 3P(O),2 [11. Purthermore, for Be-like ions, it has been proposed to
Fire models are used increasingly for fire safety assessment in nuclear power plants. Examples of these fire models are CFD models and zone models. When using these models it is important that they are sufficiently verified and validated. In Sweden the majority of fire safety consultants are using FDS, developed by NIST. The verification and validation of this package is intensively done for a num
One important complication of patients with severe haemophilia A is the formation of inhibitory antibodies to factor VIII (FVIII). Immune tolerance induction (ITI) is the treatment of choice for patients with inhibitors, but this approach is successful in about 60% of patients. Treatment of acute bleeding in patients with inhibitors is one of the greatest challenges in haemophilia management and i
The impact of warmer climate on melt and evaporation was studied for tainted, snowfed and glacierfed basins located in the western Himalayan region. Hydrological processes were simulated under current climatic conditions using a conceptual hydrological model, which accounts for the rainfall-runoff, evaporation losses, snow and glacier melt. After simulations of daily observed strearnflow (R-2 = 0.
This paper demonstrates the experimental validation and mechanistic analysis of the continuous cross-flow atomic layer deposition (ALD) reactor model developed in the first article of this series (Holmqvist et al., in press). A general nonlinear parameter estimation problem was formulated to identify the kinetic parameters involved in the developed ALD gassurface reaction mechanism, governing ZnO
Designing dopant-free small-molecule hole transport materials (HTMs) with self-assembly behavior via noncovalent interactions is considered as one effective strategy to achieve high-performance inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Herein, two donor-π bridge-donor (D–π–D) HTMs are presented, TPASF and TPAOF, containing 3,6-dimethoxythieno[3,2-b]thiophene as a core part with 3-fluoro-N,N-bis(4-(m
This investigation consisted of developing and evaluating solar dryers together with semi-permeable membrane pouches for drying juicy fruits in low-income tropical countries. Two design iterations were carried out including prototype modelling and testing. The latest developed solar dryers were a passive and an active solar dryer. Modelling was initially carried out mathematically using an equatio
AIM: Breath-holding spells (BHS) are common in children, but evidence-based clinical guidelines are lacking. We investigated a large population-based cohort of BHS patients, to propose a refined description of typical BHS and guidelines for its management.METHODS: In a cross-sectional retrospective study, patients diagnosed with BHS in Southern Sweden 2004-2018 were recruited. Disease characterist
A reliable serological marker of acute cellular rejection (ACR) after small bowel transplantation (SBTx) is still missing. Plasma citrulline level (PCL) reflects the functional integrity of intestinal mucosa which is partially lost during ACR. The aim of our study was to investigate the role of PCL as marker of ACR after SBTx. Eighteen German landrace pigs were used and divided into three groups.
Objectives To study the effect of a progressively enhanced rest–shade–hydration–hygiene (RSHH) intervention on kidney injury and inflammation biomarkers, and rates of clinical acute kidney injury (AKI) in Nicaraguan sugarcane workers with a very high rate of chronic kidney disease of non-traditional origin (CKDnt). Methods We analysed serum creatinine and C-reactive protein (CRP) and leukocyturia
Epilepsy affects approximately 50 million people worldwide, and over 30% of patients are considered treatment resistant to currently available anti-seizure drugs. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) has been shown to inhibit excitatory synaptic transmission in hippocampal slices from human epilepsy patients via Y2 receptors (Y2Rs), and overexpression of NPY and/or Y2R in the hippocampus reduces seizures in roden
AimsDyspnoea accounts for nearly 5% of emergency department (ED) visits. Our aim was to describe the in-hospital and long-term outcomes of patients admitted to the ED for dyspnoea, based on their underlying aetiology, and to determine if prognosis varies according to the hospitalization setting.MethodsWe analyzed 18 903 consecutive patients (48% male, average age 73 years) hospitalized after an ED
Background: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) survivors are at increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACE) compared with population controls; however, little is known about the annual rates and risk factors for MACE. Methods: We searched Medline, Embase, and trial registries systematically in April 2024 for studies of adults with ICH, reporting either a MACE compo
Background Early-onset depression contributes significantly to long-term disability and suicide, making high-quality healthcare for young people with depression a critical concern. Medical record review (MRR) is widely used to assess healthcare quality. However, its application to depression care for children and adolescents appears underexplored, with no consensus on conceptualising or measuring
In the plant-based beverage industry, a residue called okara, is generated in large quantities in the liquid-solid separation step. Despite the high nutritional value of okara from soy and oat beverages with respect to fiber and protein content, these residues are generally discarded or used as animal feed or compost. It would be more sustainable to utilize okara for human consumption, however, th
Educational development initiatives in the form of short-lived, isolated pedagogical courses may at best change the thinking and practice of a few pioneers, and then perhaps only temporarily. It is only possible to successfully address the need that such initiatives are intended to meet if the impact is lasting and effects a cultural change locally at the university. In this study, we look beyond
