1 Non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic (NANC) relaxations induced by electrical field stimulation (EFS)were studied in pig isolated urethra. The mechanism for relaxation was characterized by measurement of cyclic nucleotides and by study of involvement of different subsets of voltage-operated calcium channels (VOCCs). 2 EFS evoked frequency-dependent and tetrodotoxin-sensitive relaxations in the prese
Wind-driven rain (WDR) is a key source of façade moisture risk. ISO 15927-3 estimates WDR using static wall-factor tables, limited in scope and unable to capture façade-specific geometry or sheltering. This study introduces a BIM‑native workflow that dynamically computes wall factor as a geometry‑derived exposure fraction, evaluated per façade cell via ray tracing and power‑law‑based cell‑level he
The subfamily Stiriinae (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae) is a group of ∼160 described moth species, ∼91% of which occur in the Nearctic, with species diversity centered in the deserts, grasslands, and adjacent foothills of the mountain ranges of Mexico. We infer the first species-level phylogeny for the subfamily using 8 protein-coding genes. While some lineages are primarily leaf or flower feeders, the m
The interest in putting a price on carbon emissions is increasing in pace with the urgency of climate change. In this article we compare the adoption of one such policy instrument, carbon taxation, in the cases of Sweden and Mexico. We use a theoretical framework that focuses on economic and environmental factors influencing the policy process via distinct policy areas, as well as the mechanisms t
Global water scarcity requires innovative treatment solutions. This presentation explores three membrane-based concepts advancing from idea to pilot scale: stormwater harvesting with micro-/ultrafiltration (MF/UF), direct membrane filtration (DMF) for wastewater treatment, and a hybrid forward osmosis (FO), membrane distillation (MD), and nanofiltration (NF) system for seawater desalination.The EU
The world today stands at a cross roads when it comes to energy and electrical grids. A large part of the worlds population still lacks access to reliable working electricity 24 hours a day. Much of this is in remote and poor parts of the world. For much of the 20th century large centralized AC grids have been the norm to provide people with electricity. But for remote parts of the world including
Background: Bladder cancer is categorized as non-muscle invasive (NMIBC) or muscle invasive (MIBC). NIMBC makes up around 70% of the cases and although it is less aggressive, the recurrence rate is 50-70%, thus requiring extensive monitoring. Additionally, there is a risk of progression into MIBC with a 5-year survival of only 50% even when treated with radical cystectomy. Immune checkpoint inhibi
Fredagen den 3 augusti 1923 klev en 17-årig smålänning av Svenska Amerika Liniens S/S Drottningholm i New York. Han genomgick procedurerna på Ellis Island, fick en adresslapp på kavajslaget, roddes i land, marscherade med andra nyanlända på led till Grand Central Station, sattes på ett tåg norrut och lyftes av i New Haven, Connecticut. De närmaste tio åren skulle han uppleva det glada 20-talet och
Background: Herbivores modify the structure and function of tundra ecosystems. Understanding their impacts is necessary to assess the responses of these ecosystems to ongoing environmental changes. However, the effects of herbivores on plants and ecosystem structure and function vary across the Arctic. Strong spatial variation in herbivore effects implies that the results of individual studies on
Several suggestions have been made as to why Sweden's approach to managing the COVID-19 pandemic came to rely on a strategy based on voluntary measures. Two of the most prominent explanations for why the country chose a different strategy than many other countries have focused on micro- and macro-level factors, explaining the strategy either in terms of the psychologies of prominent actors or by p
Background: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large family of persistent industrial chemicals with endocrine disrupting properties. Objectives: To examine biomarkers of reproductive function in young adult males according to current environmental exposure to single and combined PFAS. Methods: The study population consisted of young men (n = 1041, age 18–21) from the Fetal Programmin
Objective: The clinical significance of QT interval adaptation to heart rate changes has been poorly investigated in atrial fibrillation (AF), since QT delineation in the presence of f-waves is challenging. Therefore, the objective of the present study is to investigate new techniques for QT adaptation estimation in permanent AF. Methods: A multilead strategy based on generalized periodic componen
Crime fiction has become one of Sweden's biggest cultural exports. In this chapter, we discuss how individual crime fiction writers are used as role models for how creative industries should function in both local and global contexts. They appear to be at the forefront of outreach to an international audience, how to market books and your own author brand through events, and how to make a successf
Rationale & Objective: Use of cystatin C in addition to creatinine to estimate glomerular filtration rate (estimated glomerular filtration rate based on cystatin C [eGFRcys] and estimated glomerular filtration rate based on creatinine [eGFRcr], respectively) is increasing. When eGFRcr and eGFRcys are discordant, it is not known which is more accurate, leading to uncertainty in clinical decisio
Background: Apnea of prematurity is a common problem in preterm infants that may have significant consequences on their development. Methylxanthines (aminophylline, theophylline, and caffeine) are effective in the treatment of apnea of prematurity. Doxapram is used as a respiratory stimulant in cases refractory to the methylxanthine treatment. Objectives: To evaluate the benefits and harms of doxa
Groundwater drought, as a form of hydrological drought, embodies the distinctive characteristics of the aquifer and human-induced disruptions within the hydrological system. The intricate nature of groundwater flow systems, coupled with challenges in acquiring field observations related to aquifers, poses significant challenges in quantitatively characterizing groundwater drought. The present pape
With the rapid process of urbanization, water conflicts between different water use industries and areas are increasing. Therefore, China has implemented the three-cordons system of water resources management since 2012, when how to make more reasonable regulation of water resources became an urgent problem in most areas of China. In this study, taking the Yuanhe River Basin as an example, an inte
The continuous increase in global energy consumption has led to a greater focus on the energy required for heating buildings. This thesis presents a techno-economic model for analysing low-temperature district heating networks coupled with a geothermal heat source. The model was used to analyse an existing system in Denmark with 15 connected single-family detached houses. Each of the houses has a
In schools the temperature of the indoor air is one of the most important factors in terms of the indoor climate. The resulting indoor air temperature is depending on many factors; the temperature of the supply air being one of the more significant one. One fan-assisted natural ventilation system includes a supply air system where the outdoor air should be passively heated respectively cooled when
