This work presents an alternative cetane rating method using a production compression ignition (CI) engine, offering an accessible approach for preliminary fuel evaluation without the need for specialized equipment. As part of this work, an empirical correlation was developed linking ignition delay (ID) to both the cetane number (CN) and intake oxygen concentration. The test method follows the pri

BackgroundThe captive bolt gun is a tool for stunning animals in the meat industry and is not considered a firearm under the Swedish firearm legislation. This study aimed to explore the involvement of such devices in human fatalities, with an emphasis on suicides. Epidemiological characteristics from a longitudinal perspective, as well as risk factors and injury patterns were analyzed.MethodSuicid

Background: Prolonged time to surgery (TTS) after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) may enable malnourished oesophageal cancer patients' nutritional status to recover better, possibly improving outcomes with fewer complications and better overall survival (OS) after oesophagectomy. Methods: This is a substudy within a multicentre randomised controlled trial comparing outcomes in patients with o

The efficiency and stability of wide bandgap (WBG) perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are constrained by photo-induced halide segregation and severe non-radiative recombination, which significantly impedes the advancement of high-efficiency and stable perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells (PSTSCs). In this work, a potassium 4-sulfonic-1,8-naphthalic anhydride salt (4S-NAPS), featuring dual-anchoring si

Biomass gasification gas (BGG), a carbon-neutral renewable fuel and important hydrogen carrier, holds significant promise for sustainable energy systems. However, its practical implementation is challenged by combustion instability and elevated NOx emissions, primarily due to localized high-temperature zones induced by the hydrogen content. MILD (Moderate or Intense Low-oxygen Dilution) combustion

Disinhibition of the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway has been observed in patients with loss-of-function variants in the disheveled, Egl-10, and pleckstrin domain-containing protein 5 (DEPDC5), and nitrogen permease regulator-like proteins 2 and 3 (NPRL2, and NPRL3) genes, which encode the components of GTPase activating protein Activity Toward Rags Complex 1 (GATOR1) complex. Evero

Smoking is a well-established risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Studies have indicated that smoking may outweigh the benefit of blood pressure (BP) control. Our aim was to compare cardiovascular risk factors in smokers vs non-smokers from a national sample of treated hypertensives. Data were collected on smoking habits, BP control, total and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, diabete

Between January 1993 - December 1995, the Galileo spacecraft traversed the interplanetary space between Earth and Jupiter and arrived at Jupiter on 7 December 1995. The dust instrument onboard the spacecraft was operating during most of the time and data from the instrument were obtained via memory readouts which occurred at rates between twice per day and once per week. All events were classified

Background: Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is associated with perinatal mortality and with neurologic damage from intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). We investigated whether S100B, a neural protein found in high concentrations after cell injury in the nervous system, is increased in serum of women whose pregnancies are complicated by IUGR and whose newborns develop IVH. We also explored the

OBJECTIVE: Prostate cancer cells secrete the unique protease human glandular kallikrein 2 (hK2) that represents a target for proteolytic activation of cytotoxic prodrugs. The objective of this study was to identify hK2-selective peptide substrates that could be coupled to a cytotoxic analogue of thapsigargin, a potent inhibitor of the sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase pump that ind

Asthma-like symptoms, methacholine hyperresponsiveness, and use of asthma medication are prevalent in elite cross-country skiers. We quantitated mucosal inflammatory cell infiltration and tenascin expression in the subepithelial basement membrane in endobronchial biopsy specimens of the proximal airways from 40 elite, competitive skiers (mean: 17.5; range: 16 to 20 yr) without a diagnosis of asthm

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: We examined features of the metabolic syndrome to see if they modified the risk of chronic diabetic complications in patients with Type II (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus. METHODS: A total of 85 randomly selected patients with the metabolic syndrome (WHO definition) were compared with 85 Type II diabetic patients matched for age, sex, duration of diabetes, glycaemic cont

Background During the last 15 years, high-dose chemotherapy with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has globally been performed for severe multiple sclerosis (MS). Most patients have been in progressive phase with long disease duration. As a rule, treatment effect has been minor or moderate. Patients Since 2004, we have performed HSCT in nine young patients with "malignant"

Asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation (AsFIFFF) in combination with multi-angle light scattering (MALS) was applied to cationic potato amylopectin (CPAP) to investigate how molar mass, root-mean-square (r.m.s.) radius and shape was influenced by different conditions of jet-cooking. The effect of different jet-cooking temperatures in the range 110 degrees C - 140 degrees C was studied in an ex

PURPOSE: To provide estimates of the diffusional kurtosis in the healthy brain in anatomically defined areas and list these along previously reported values in pathologies. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-six volunteers (mean age = 33.1 years; range, 19-64 years) underwent diffusional kurtosis imaging. Mean kurtosis (MK), radial kurtosis (RK), mean diffusivity (MD), radial diffusivity (RD), and frac

As an approach to determining the aetiology of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL), we searched for a virus expressed in human CLL B-cells by combining high-throughput sequencing and digital subtraction. Pooled B-cell mRNA transcriptomes from five CLL patients and five healthy donors were sequenced with 454 Life Sciences technology. Human reads were excluded by BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search

Objective: Anaemia in low-risk MDS is associated with reduced quality of life (QoL). Response to treatment with erythropoietin (EPO) + G-CSF is associated with improved QoL, but whether transfusion therapy with higher haemoglobin (Hb) target levels has similar effects is unknown. The objective for this prospective phase II Nordic multicentre trial was to assess QoL, response rate and physical func
