Litter decomposition is a source of gaseous products, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to the atmosphere. The quantity and the chemical composition of the VOC blends released from litter vary between plant species and depend on environmental factors and litter microbial communities. Here, we assessed VOC release from decomposing litter in a 3-year incubation conducted in a climate manip
Background There is a lack of contemporary data describing patients with left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction post myocardial infarction (MI) in terms of symptom burden and secondary prevention measures. The aim of this study was to describe patients with various degrees of LV systolic dysfunction after a first MI, their symptom burden, quality of life and adherence to recommended secondary
Visual assessment of medial temporal lobe atrophy (MTA) in the clinical workup of cognitive impairment is traditionally corrected for age since MTA increases with age. In addition, common pathologies in the elderly such as amyloid, tau, alpha-synuclein and TDP-43 accumulation as well as white matter hyperintensities representing small vessel disease may affect the association between MTA and age.

Controlled and sequence-selective DNA cleavage plays a crucial role in biomolecular engineering and nucleic acid technologies. Here, we report the development of cerium-coordinated catalytic hydrogel nanoparticles (Ce-CHNP) that exhibit single-strand-selective nuclease activity. Ce-CHNP was synthesized via a one-step polymerization process in which Ce(IV) coordinated with N-hydroxymethyl acrylamid

One of the most important travelers of the 18th century was Jakob JonasBjörnståhl. From a young age, he aspired to reach prominence in academiccircles. Greek, Latin, and various Middle Eastern languages were part ofhis studies from the outset, and he distinguished himself by his enthusiasm,thirst for knowledge, and ability to quickly master diverse subjects, alongwith his encyclopedic education.

We investigate the influence of AlN buffer thickness on the structural, electrical, and thermal properties of AlGaN/GaN high-electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) grown on semi-insulating SiC substrates by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. X-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy reveal that while thin AlN layers (120 nm) exhibit compressive strain and smooth step-flow surfaces, thicke
Action-detected two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (A-2DES) provides valuable insights into ultrafast dynamics within functional materials and devices by measuring incoherent signals like photocurrent. This work details the implementation and optimization of a pulse-shaper-based A-2DES setup, focusing on methodological strategies crucial for acquiring high-fidelity data. We present a comprehe
The development of acid-stable, non-precious catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) remains a critical challenge for proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers (PEMWEs). While Co3O4 shows promising OER activity, its rapid dissolution in acidic media severely limits practical application. Here, we design a self-adaptive protection strategy by depositing ZrN coatings on Co3O4 precursor

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) of HfOx layers has emerged as a promising strategy for interface passivation in chalcopyrite-based thin-film solar cells. However, the nucleation dynamics of (Ag,Cu)(In,Ga)Se2 (ACIGS) absorbers remain insufficiently understood, particularly regarding the interplay between absorber composition and alkali postdeposition treatments (PDTs). Here, we employ in situ ambient
The need for information about climate change is great. This information is usually based on climate model data, which often have systematic biases. Furthermore, climate information is based on ensembles of climate models, which raises the question about how such ensembles are affected by the choice of models and emission scenarios. Here, we aim to describe climate change in Sweden and neighbourin
Short-duration extreme rainfall can cause severe impacts in built environments and flood mitigation measures require high-resolution rainfall data to be effective. It is a particular challenge to observe convective storms, which are expected to intensify with climate change. However, rainfall monitoring networks operated by national meteorological and hydrological services generally have limited a
