The valence photoionization and resonant Auger decay at 4d resonances below the 4d ionization threshold in Sb-4 clusters have been studied experimentally by means of photoelectron spectroscopy. The 4d absorption spectrum in the photon energy region from 30 to 36 eV has been recorded using the constant ionic state (CIS) partial electron yield (PEY), and the CIS spectra for various ionic states are
In this paper we study the properties of molecular and supra molecular species in cereal beta-glucan solutions/dispersions by the utilization of asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation coupled to multi-angle light scattering and refractive index (AsFlFFF-MALS-RI) detectors. The samples were purified barley and oat beta-glucans which were dissolved in aqueous solution using either mild condition
Transvaginal ultrasound plays a pivotal role in the management of non-pregnant women with abnormal vaginal bleeding. No other imaging technique has a role in the triage of these women. In women with postmenopausal bleeding, ultrasound is used to categorise women as at low or high risk of endometrial cancer, and the result of the ultrasound examination is the basis for further management. In women
Housing rodents in an enriched environment (EE) following experimental stroke enhances neurological recovery. Understanding the underlying neural cues may provide the basis for improving stroke rehabilitation. We studied the contribution of brain macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) to functional recovery after permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAo) in rats. In the cerebral cor
Compound optimization of distributed energy systems, urban morphology, and the transportation network is crucial to improving the robustness of interconnected urban energy infrastructures and enhancing their resilience to extreme climate events. Available methods and tools mainly focus on optimizing one component in urban areas and fail to consider complex interactions in interconnected infrastruc
Global climate change has increasing effects on mental health and well-being (e.g., in the form of climate anxiety), both through direct exposure to its consequences (e.g., extreme weather) and through indirect exposure (i.e., the social representation or appraisal of climate change without direct contact to its physical consequences). To help people cope with distress due to climate anxiety, natu
Objective Studies indicate that the functional outcome evolves in the year after ischemic stroke onset. However, the traditional outcome measure in stroke trials is the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 90 days from onset. To determine mRS fluctuations in the first year after stroke, we examined data from 3 major stroke trials.MethodsIn a secondary analysis, we evaluated intrapatient mRS between 90 d
The growth of small supported metal crystals under the influence of an electron beam has been studied in real-time using a 400 keV ultra-high-resolution electron microscope. Samples of Pt, Rh, Cd and Zn supported on amorphous C or Si films were prepared ex situ and crystal growth in situ was recorded directly using a TV imaging/video system attached to the microscope. The different types of observ
“Solid solutions” in the system CeO2Y2O3, originally reported to be continuous and homogeneous and subsequently to consist of two discrete regions of homogeneity, have been re-examined by electron diffraction and high resolution electron microscopy. The two regions of homogeneous solid solution are confirmed and shown to be commensurately modulated structures — based on fluorite type at lower (ab
Cerium dioxide, CeO2, is a chemically stable oxygen-ion-conducting material, which has been extensively used as an additive or support in oxidation catalysts. The fact that catalytic behaviour is often surface structure sensitive and/or edge atom dependent suggests that different surfaces might be discernible in associated redox processes. Thus, it is desirable to realise CeO2 films with a well-de
This paper, by highlighting the experiences and reflections of experts and practitioners, aims to increase knowledge of how social impact assessment is managed and handled at various stages of the planning process in major infrastructure investments in Sweden. Interviews were conducted with nine experts and practitioners working with issues of transport planning and social sustainability. The info
BACKGROUND: Contact allergy rates of linalool and limonene hydroperoxides (HPs) have increased.OBJECTIVES: To demonstrate the patterns of simultaneous positive patch test (PT) reactions and prevalences of multiple contact allergies (MCAs) in patients with contact allergy to linalool and/or limonene HPs.METHODS: A retrospective analysis of consecutive dermatitis patients in 2015-2020 was performed.
Background: Behavioural symptoms and frontotemporal hypometabolism overlap between behavioural variant of frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) and primary psychiatric disorders (PPD), hampering diagnostic distinction. Voxel-wise comparisons of brain metabolism might identify specific frontotemporal-(hypo)metabolic regions between bvFTD and PPD. We investigated brain metabolism in bvFTD and PPD and its
With the ever-growing popularity of live-streaming commerce, it is crucial for marketers to understand how live-streaming contributes to sales. While prior studies mainly focused on customer motivations for using live-streaming commerce, few studies, to date, elucidate consumers' decision-making process in this context. Addressing this gap, we adopt the Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM) of persua
