Metastable nonradiative centers (supertraps) are significant energy loss channels in perovskite optoelectronic devices. In their active state, supertraps induce substantial energy loss through nonradiative recombination of free charge carriers. Transitions between active (energy loss) and passive (no energy loss) states result in photoluminescence (PL) blinking on timescales from milliseconds to s
The smart city is a prominent urban development discourse that has been applied to urban policies and programs around the world. To date, there are limited empirical insights on how smart city policies and programs are leading to institutional change in urban local governance. Recent scholarship has mobilized the notion of institutional logics to unpack how the broader smart city discourse shapes
Knee osteoarthritis is a highly prevalent whole-joint disease that is associated with substantial morbidity. If step changes are to be made in the management of knee osteoarthritis, novel patient stratification approaches are needed to identify the most effective treatment for individual patients. Numerous methods for stratifying patients with knee osteoarthritis can be employed; clinical presenta
The cofactor-free arylmalonate decarboxylase (AMDase) is a valuable biocatalyst for synthesizing α-aryl and α-alkenyl alkanoic acids with excellent stereoselectivity. We engineered a new hydrophobic pocket in (S)-selective AMDase mutants, creating AMDase ICPLLG with enhanced activity. For the investigation of the mechanism, we synthesized isotope-labeled, pseudochiral 2-methyl-2-vinyl malonate via
Embodiment has slowly been integrated as a category of analysis in (critical) military studies. In this article, we argue that embodiment–and related concepts such as body, affects and emotions–has become prevalent concerns over the 10-year consolidation of the intellectual project of the journal CMS. We propose an inquiry organized around three axes: situating current debates in the broader field
This paper investigates the detection of permittivity defects in a fabricated, known object, motivated by a desire to detect errors in additively manufactured objects that may affect their electromagnetic performance. We use scattering parameter sensitivities to reconstruct the relative permittivity of a generic 2D object from microwave scattering measurements and a known reference model. To find
Antibodies are important for protection against malaria. For optimal protective activity, it is thought that antibodies need to have high affinity. A longitudinal study conducted in Uganda followed newborn infants and their mothers for nine months. The study found that antibody affinity (here measured as dissociation rate constant, kd) against the merozoite antigens AMA1 and MSP2 decreased from bi
Oligometastatic squamous-cell carcinoma of the anus (omSCCA) is a very rare condition. The literature is sparse, and treatment guidelines are lacking. The aim of the present work was to carry out a literature review and to propose an algorithm for intensified treatment of patients with omSCCA. A PubMed search was carried out, which resulted in 15 relevant publications that included any type of def
Tomography technology is not usual when investigating drilled asphalt cores properties. Currently, there is no internationally recognised standard tomography method for asphalt pavements. Tomography provides, however, a non-destructive alternative to traditional, usually destructive, testing of drilled cores. Furthermore, tomography offers possibilities, which traditional laboratory analyses do no
Chlorophyll a concentration is a crucial indicator of marine primary productivity and its accurate prediction is vital for the early warning systems in marine ecosystem. Present work focused to examine the relationship between chlorophyll a concentration and environmental factors in Lake Vänern and to predict the chlorophyll a concentration using Random Forest model and Generalized linear model du
Från de första kyrkorna på 900-talet och fram till idag har kyrkor uppförts och försvunnit igen. Kyrkor har ersatts av nya på samma plats eller på andra platser. Kyrkor har även lagts ner av olika anledningar. Kyrkorna har således både ökat och minskat i antal. Idag har många kyrkor blivit övertaliga och används därför mer sällan, i några fall tillåts de förfalla, får nya funktioner eller säljs. T
We use the superfluid tunneling model (STM) to calculate the half-lives of α decays of odd-A and odd-odd superheavy nuclei (SHN) with Z≥100 and A≥250. The experimental data are reproduced to accuracies comparable to other contemporary models of the α decay of the SHN. We then apply the STM to examine the influence of the quasiparticle structure on the properties of the chains of α decays arising f
The process of "mineralisation" in biology leads to a diversity of inorganic structures based on silica or calcium carbonate. Some of these are composite and, at the same time, highly crystalline. In all cases a molecular or self assembled "template" species has been identified as the promoter for the crystallisation of the new structure. In biology these "templates" are the end step in the convey
Skeletal muscles are functionally regulated by populations of so-called motor units (MUs). An MU comprises a bundle of muscle fibers controlled by a neuron from the spinal cord. Current methods to diagnose neuromuscular diseases and monitor rehabilitation, and study sports sciences rely on recording and analyzing the bio-electric activity of the MUs. However, these methods provide information from
BackgroundThe essential trace elements copper and zinc, and their ratio (copper/zinc), are important for maintaining redox homeostasis. Previous studies suggest that these elements may impact breast cancer survival. However, no epidemiological study has so far been conducted on the potential association between copper and copper/zinc levels and survival after breast cancer diagnosis. In this study
OBJECTIVE: Traditionally, the diagnosis of pleural mesothelioma is based on histological material. Minimally invasive effusion cytology specimens are an alternative that, like biopsies, require ancillary analyses. Validation of immunohistochemical (IHC) analyses on cytology, including the surrogate markers for molecular alterations BAP1 and MTAP, is of interest.METHODS: IHC for eight different mar
Internationally, there is considerable inconsistency in the recognition and regulation of children's genetic connections outside the family. In the context of gamete and embryo donation, challenges for regulation seem endless. In this paper, I review some of the paths that have been taken to manage children' being closely genetically related to people outside their families. I do so against the ba
Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are a large group of small genetic modules found in prokaryotes and their mobile genetic elements. Type II TAs are encoded as bicistronic (two-gene) operons that encode two proteins: a toxin and a neutralizing antitoxin. Using our tool NetFlax (standing for Network-FlaGs for toxins and antitoxins), we have performed a large-scale bioinformatic analysis of proteinaceous
