High quality single-crystal synthetic diamond is the most suitable material for selected X-ray optical applications in the latest generation X-ray light sources. Excellent heat handling properties, as well as low absorption, coupled with high perfection in the crystal bulk and very good surface quality, are crucial for such applications. In recent years, some progress has been made in the fields o
Evaluating the (Formula presented.) scaling function of elastic proton–proton ((Formula presented.)) collisions from recent TOTEM data at (Formula presented.) TeV and comparing it with the same function of elastic proton–antiproton ((Formula presented.)) data of the D0 collaboration at (Formula presented.) TeV, we find, from this comparison alone, an at least 3.79 (Formula presented.) signal of od
Two concurrent trends may fundamentally change how we understand the role of solar PV at high latitudes. Until now, relatively low annual insolation in combination with low electricity demand during the summer months has not favoured PV in the Arctic. However, continued decreases in costs for PVs in combination with increasing electricity demand from industrial electrification is quickly changing
Ethnopharmacological relevance: The red Brazilian cherry, Eugenia uniflora, is widely used in traditional medicine. The aim of this study was to investigate the phytochemical composition of a methanol extract from leaves of E. uniflora and characterization of the isolated compounds. In addition, we aimed to determine the antioxidant activities in vitro and in a cell-based (HaCaT cell)model. We als
Agriculture is a backbone of the Indian economy, nowadays farmers are facing manpower problem, it may be due to migration of the manpower, and they need to manage the infinite resources in agriculture. Computer application for precise management is a novel weapon to increase the utilization of resources efficiently. Crop-dusting is a farmer's tedious, repetitive work, which drones will take over t
In order to keep up with the constant demand for higher data rates, the fifth generation of mobile communication (5G) introduced the use of mm-wave carrier frequencies from 24 to 71 GHz. Plenty of new frequency spectrum then became available, which has allowed for channel bandwidths of several hundreds of MHz. 6G is projected to continue this trend with even higher carrier frequencies and wider ba
The novel Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) presents a major threat to public health but can be prevented by safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines. Vaccine acceptance among healthcare workers (HCWs) is essential to promote uptake. This study, aimed to determine the COVID-19 vaccination uptake and hesitancy and its associated factors among HCWs in Tanzania. We employed a convergent-parallel mixed-
The functional properties of Andean grain starches of two species, amaranth (Amaranthus caudatus) and canihua (Chenopodium pallidicaule), three cultivars each, were studied. The study focused on chemical composition, pasting properties, thermal properties, water solubility index (WSI), swelling power (SP), and granule morphology. All amaranth starches were waxy starches, with amylose content l
This paper presents the results from a longitudinal study aiming at developing and implementing a method integrating principles from Risk Management and Business Continuity Management in its naturalistic organisational setting. Despite the fact that a myriad of real-world constraints and challenges typically arise in the transition from method development to full implementation and use of the meth
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from patients are an attractive disease model to study tissues with poor accessibility such as the brain. Using this approach, we and others have shown that trisomy 21 results in genome-wide transcriptional dysregulations. The effects of loss of genes on chromosome 21 is much less characterized. Here, we use patient-derived neural cells from an individual wit
BACKGROUND: Screening immigrant mothers for postpartum depression has been shown to be challenging for health care professionals in handling cultural implications of postpartum depression, communicating through interpreter and applying translated versions of the screening scale.AIM: The aim of the study was to test the feasibility of an evidence-based educational intervention for Child Health Serv
Natural lifetimes of some highly excited levels in the Pb-I spectrum have been measured by the zero field level crossing (Hanle) method. The levels were reached by optical excitation from the metastable 6p2 3P2 and 6p2 3P1 states, were a considerable population had been created by means of adc discharge in a Pb atomic beam. An atomic beam source producing atoms in metastable states is described. F
Objectives: To investigate the reliability, validity and responsiveness of a new Patient-Specific Leisure Scale (PSLS), constructed to identify goals and outcomes for individual patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods: Forty-nine patients with RA were used to evaluate test-retest reliability, and 100 consecutive RA patients were used for construct validity. Twenty-five RA patients, commenc
PURPOSE:: To investigate concordance between objective and perceived neighborhood walkability, their associations with self-reported walking and objective physical activity, and sociodemographic characteristics of individuals in neighborhoods with objectively assessed high walkability who misperceive it as low. METHODS:: In 1,925 individuals aged 20-66 years, recruited from administrative areas in
Coarse-graining is commonly used to decrease the computational cost of simulations. However, coarse-grained models are also considered to have lower transferability, with lower accuracy for systems outside the original scope of parametrization. Here, we benchmark a bead-necklace model and a modified Martini 2 model, both coarse-grained models, for a set of intrinsically disordered proteins, with t
In this work, we present the fabrication and investigation of the properties of quasi-vertical gallium nitride (GaN) fin field effect transistors (FinFETs) on silicon carbide (SiC) substrates and the influence of a postgate metallization annealing (PMA). The devices reveal low subthreshold swings (SSs) down to around 70 mV/dec. For a 1- $\mu \text{m}$ -thick drift layer, a low ON-resistance below
Background The health of people with functional variation in Sweden is worse than people without functional variation. A health-promoting resource in adults’ lives is meaningful employment, and for people with functional variation it means some form of daily activity. The project "Grow with horsepower" is a person-centered and nature-oriented daily activity for people with function variation, who
Cyclic RGD peptides are well-known ligands of integrins. The integrins αVβ3 and α5β1 are involved in angiogenesis, and integrin αVβ3 is abundantly present on cancer cells, thus representing a therapeutic target. Hence, synthetic and biophysical studies continuously are being directed towards the understanding of ligand-integrin interaction. In this context, the development of versatile synthetic s
