The installation of a second RF cavity in the UVX electron storage ring at the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS) at the end of 2003 brought about longitudinal instabilities driven by one of the HOMs of the new cavity. Even though the operational difficulties related to these unstable modes were successfully overcome by means of a combination of cavity tuning (using temperature and plun
The Swedish species of signiphorids (Chalcidoidea: Signiphoridae) are reviewed. Three species occur in the country, of which Clytina giraudi Erdös, 1957 is reported for the first time. Specimens of this species were reared from galls induced by Lipara lucens Meigen, 1830 (Diptera: Chloropidae) on common reed (Phragmites australis). New province records for the other two species, Chartocerus subaen
BackgroundThe impact of season when determining a serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (S-25OHD) cut-off level for optimal bone health is unknown.ObjectiveTo investigate the relative importance of S-25OHD for bone mineral density (BMD) by season.MethodsA subcohort of 5002 Swedish women (mean age 68 years), randomly selected from a large population-based longitudinal cohort study with repeat dietary and lifes

In recent years increasing attention has been given to systematic comparison of theories ofconsciousness. Laudable practical projects have emerged in this regard, such as adversarialcollaboration and the development of databases lending themselves to comparisons of empiricalsupport for theories. In addition to the practical advances, theoretical advances have been made,such as a list of issues a
Taxa specific responses to climate warming may shape aquatic communities, dominance patterns, biotic interactions, and related ecosystem processes and functions. As climate warming effects on smaller zooplankton are less understood than larger zooplankton, we focused on rotifers to study their response to a future climate warming scenario in outdoor mesocosms. Our year-long experiment (14 July 202
Introduction: Health-promotion approaches to address stress-related exhaustion disorders, reduce personal suffering, improve coping and participation in everyday life are needed in primary care. The aim of this study was to investigate self-reported health and well-being before and after an intervention focusing on well-being with photo-supported conversations (BeWellTM). Material and methods: Eig
Distributed massive multiple-input multiple-output (D-MIMO) has been identified as a promising technology to meet the service requirements of 6 G wireless networks and beyond. The coordination between a massive number of distributed antennas introduces stiff challenges and requires a substantial amount of computing resources that must be put together with careful algorithm-architecture codesign. T
Precise diagnostic on the electron beam parameters is a very valuable tool and essential in the operation of synchrotron light sources. One possible option is to employ the emitted synchrotron radiation for non-destructive measurements. A tool, which has been used in many ring-based synchrotron light sources is Time-Correlated Single-Photon Counting (TCSPC). It allows to measure the arrival time d
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a global issue requiring a thorough understanding of risk factors to inform prevention strategies. This study applies Kraemer et al.‘s (2005) categorization system to classify risk factors for IPV perpetration, addressing two research questions: 1) What variables or attributes are commonly employed to assess the risks associated with IPV perpetration, and how can
The demand for cost- and time-effective and customizable components for High Vacuum (HV) and Ultra-High Vacuum (UHV) systems has prompted exploration into the application of 3D-printing technology. This study investigates the viability of utilizing 3D-printed plastics in UHV environments by evaluating their outgassing properties. An extensive evaluation of 3D-printing materials was carried out, hi
Traffic related non-exhaust particulate sources and road dust are an increasingly important source for PM10 air pollution as exhaust sources are decreasing due to regulations. In the Nordic countries, the road dust problem is enhanced by use of studded tyres, causing increased road wear and winter road maintenance including gritting. Efforts to reduce road dust emissions requires knowledge on temp
In certain situations, the quality of a process is determined by dependent variables in relation to independent variables, often modeled through a regression framework referred to as a profile. The practice of monitoring and preserving this relationship is known as profile monitoring. In this paper, we propose an innovative approach that uses different machine-learning (ML) techniques for construc
Current standard wound care involves dressings that provide moisture and protection; however, dressings providing active healing are still scarce and expensive. We aimed to develop an ecologically sustainable 3D printed bioactive hydrogel-based topical wound dressing targeting healing of hard-to-heal wounds, such as chronic or burn wounds, which are low on exudate. To this end, we developed a form
Recent research in evolutionary economic geography addressing radical innovation and grand challenges has advocated for a shift in focus from single technologies and products toward interrelated configurations of technologies and institutions. This suggests moving beyond explaining innovation and industrial dynamics primarily by the existence of appropriate knowledge and capability stocks, to incl
This article investigates the performance of several residuals for the Cox proportional hazards regression model to diagnose the influential observations. The standardized and adjusted forms of residuals are proposed for Cox proportional hazards regression model. In addition, Cook’s distance is proposed for both standardized and adjusted residuals. The assessment of different residuals for the ide
In recent decades there has been an increasing demand in environmental sciences for harmonized climatic data at large spatial scales and long periods. Here we present easyclimate, a software package to obtain daily climatic data at high resolution (0.0083°, ∼1 km) with R. The package facilitates the downloading and processing of precipitation, minimum and maximum temperatures for Europe from 1950
