Seaweeds (macroalgae) are gaining attention as potential sustainable feedstock for the production of fuels and chemicals. This comparative study focuses on the characterization of the microbial production of alcohols from fermentable carbohydrates in the hydrolysate of the macroalgae Laminaria digitata as raw material. The potential of a hydrolysate as a carbon source for the production of selecte
Defect management strategies are vital for enhancing the performance of perovskite-based optoelectronic devices, such as perovskite-based light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs). As additives can fucntion both as acrystallization modifier and/or defect passivator, a thorough study on the roles of additives is essential, especially for blue emissive Pe-LEDs, where the emission is strictly controlled by the
There is no standard formula for estimating the starting daily dose (SDD) of basal-bolus insulin therapy (BBT). We aimed to develop a formula for estimating SDD and evaluate its efficacy and safety in patients with type 2 diabetes hospitalized for BBT. In the first study (n = 104), we retrospectively analyzed the relationship between peak daily dose (PDD) during hospitalization and clinical parame
We present an interactive online workshop for K-12 students, which aims in familiarizing students with core concepts of AI. The workshop consists of a variety of resources, inspired by inquiry-based learning techniques, of which we present in detail one module, centered around a browser-based game called “Gradient Descent”. This module introduces the mathematical concepts behind a gradient descent
Structured triacylglycerols (STAG) with desired properties can be synthesized by transesterification using immobilized lipases. Herein, the effect of immobilization conditions and support material on the immobilization yield, specific activity and regioselectivity of lipases from Rhizomucor miehei (RML) and Rhizopus oryzae (ROL) in the production of STAG, are evaluated. Four different support mate
With an increase in international migration, it is becoming significant to examine the function of religious organizations to present a philanthropic model in which religious membership is not perceived as a source of social visibility and access to social resources based on religious affiliation. Due to the cultural diversity of the migrant community, it is important to explore the role of religi
We re-examine the importance of instruction time for student achievement on international assessments. We successfully replicate the positive effect of weekly instruction time in the seminal paper by Lavy (Economic Journal, 125, F397-F424) in a narrow sense. Extending the analysis to other international assessments, we find effects that are consistently smaller in magnitude. We provide evidence th
In this paper, we compare two approaches to numerically approximate the solution of second-order Gurtin–Pipkin type of integro-differential equations. Both methods are based on a high-order Discontinous Galerkin approximation in space and the numerical inverse Laplace transform. In the first approach, we use functional calculus and the inverse Laplace transform to represent the solution. The spect
This paper is concerned with the estimation of macroscopic properties such as the permittivity or the thermal conductivity of a composite material from the microstructure. A new method of estimating the microstructural parameters, such as the volume fraction of anisotropic two-phase composite material, is derived. The parameters are estimated using information from measurements of the random mater
One great advantage of optical hyperspectral remote sensing from unmanned aerial systems (UAS) compared to satellite missions is the possibility to fly and collect data below clouds. The most typical scenario is flying below intermittent clouds and under turbulent conditions, which causes tilting of the platform. This study aims to advance hyperspectral imaging from UAS in most weather conditions
A theatre performance with and about 4 war veterans with PTSD. In an autobiographical tur de force they take us back to their life changing moments and try to recreate the lives they had before they got crashed by war. Produced by Fix&Foxy together with Betty Nansen Teatret.TURNÉFORESTILLING.
Technical Analysis to Inform the Trigger Design for Adaptive Safety Nets in Malawi 2023 has been prepared by the Finance, Competitiveness & Innovation Global Practice’s Crisis, and Disaster Risk Finance team in collaboration with Tetra Tech, who acted as technical advisors for the World Bank. Funding and expertise were provided by the Disaster Protection Program (funded by the UK) and from the
For more than a century the research on the Antikythera Mechanism engaged scientists from a widerange of scientific disciplines searching for clues, in order to solve the mystery that this unique ar-chaeological find poses. The results so far have been spectacular enough to re-write the History ofTechnology providing new aspects on the degree of technological sophistication and scientific de-velop
