Catalytic processes are present in a wide range of aspects, from fundamental biological processes to modern chemical synthesis. In practical terms, catalysis has thrived as a rapidly growing industry. However, a significant gap in our understanding of catalytic processes exists between the molecular and industrial scales, arising from the complexity at the nano- and micro-levels of catalytic nanop
The characterisation of fast phenomena at the microscopic scale is required for the understanding of catastrophic responses of materials to loads and shocks, the processing of materials by optical or mechanical means, the processes involved in many key technologies such as additive manufacturing and microfluidics, and the mixing of fuels in combustion. Such processes are usually stochastic in natu
Investigation of how one can control the oxidation of engineered nanoparticles by using different carrier gases.
AIM: Breath-holding spells (BHS) are common in children, but evidence-based clinical guidelines are lacking. We investigated a large population-based cohort of BHS patients, to propose a refined description of typical BHS and guidelines for its management.METHODS: In a cross-sectional retrospective study, patients diagnosed with BHS in Southern Sweden 2004-2018 were recruited. Disease characterist
Today's Carrier-Envelope Phase (CEP) stabilizations of mode-locked oscillators widely used in attosecond science and frequency metrology rely on octave spanning frequency combs and the detection of beating between the blue end and the frequency doubled red end of the same spectrum. This technique was established by the seminal works of Hänsch and co-workers [1], demonstrating the stabilization of
En systematisk genomgång av internationella vetenskapliga studier inom tvångsvård av personer med beroende.
To prevent diseases arising from exposure to toxic metals, more knowledge about their temporal changes is needed, especially in children, the most vulnerable group. This study follows temporal changes in blood lead (BPb), mercury (BHg) and cadmium (BCd) levels in schoolchildren (8–11 years old) from two cities in southern Sweden. One blood sample per 773 children was used for time trend analyses b
As the proverbial noose tightens around humanity’s resource spending, research is focused on utilizing materials to their fullest potential. Nanotechnology is the ultimate way to economize by splitting objects into smaller parts and dispersing the material properties over greater surface to volume ratios. Emerging quantum effects at the nanoscale present unique tweaking opportunities in applicatio
Neighborhood support can improve aging in place for older adults, but research on the role of public housing staff in supporting older tenants is lacking. Twenty-nine participants (janitors, n = 11; maintenance staff, n = 18) collected data about critical situations among older tenants residing in apartments in Sweden. Modifying the Critical Incident Technique (CIT) and applying a mixed-methods de
BACKGROUND: Breast cancer is, despite screening, not always detected early enough and is together with other tumor types known to shed genetic information in circulation. Unlike single-copy nuclear DNA, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copies range from 100s to 10,000s per cell, thus providing a potentially alternative to identify potential missing cancer information in circulation at an early stage.METH
Oxide defects in the high-k/InGaAs MOS system are investigated. The behaviour of these traps is explored from room temperature down to 10 K. This study reveals that the exchange of free carriers between oxide states and either the conduction or the valence band is strongly temperature dependant. The capture and emission of electrons is strongly suppressed at 10 K as demonstrated by the collapse of
INTRODUCTION: Mammographic breast density (MBD) is an established breast cancer risk factor, yet the underlying molecular mechanisms remain to be deciphered. Fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) amplification is associated with breast cancer development and aberrant FGF signaling found in the biological processes related to both high mammographic density and breast cancer microenvironment.
Small-angle neutron scattering is used to study the exchange bias effect in Mn50Ni40Sn10. The martensitic transformation is found to be responsible for the nanometer-scale spin clusters (SCs) inside the low-temperature ferromagnetic (FM) martensite phase. The magnetic field dependences of the SCs and FM domains exhibit an asymmetry that characterizes the exchange bias. We find that the surface geo
The significance of neutron spin adiabaticity in the data analysis of polarized Grazing Incidence Small Angle Neutron Scattering (GISANS) is discussed, with the aim of minimizing the number of simulation parameters of complex magnetic models within the neutron scattering cross-section. We illustrate how an estimate of the neutron polarization direction and adiabaticity can be obtained by magnetic
Air pollution affects human health and is particularly bad for susceptible groups, such as children. Health effects of air pollution are dependent on the particle deposition in the respiratory tract. To better understand the particle deposition for children we need to gain more knowledge about how and when the structure of the peripheral lung is developed.1
We provide a detailed account of the origin and establishment of the Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) and celebrate its history from inception to the current day. We discuss the mission, vision and strategic objectives of OARSI and how these have developed and evolved over the last 3 decades. We celebrate the achievements of the society as we approach its 30th birthday, honor
Objective: To provide a summary of the translational gaps in musculoskeletal research as identified in the Mine the Gap workshop and propose possible solutions. Methods: The Mine the Gap online workshop was hosted on October 14th and 15th, 2020. Five international panels, each comprised of a clinician, clinical researcher and basic scientist, presented gaps and proposed solutions for the themes of
The polarization switching dynamics for Hf 1-x Zr x O 2 (HZO) integrated on InAs is studied as a function of pulse width and amplitude. Due to a mixed ferroelectric/antiferroelectric phase at x=0.8, a more gradual total polarization update is shown compared to a fully ferroelectric Hf 0.5 Zr 0.5 O 2 stack. A lowered operating voltage is achieved in Hf 0.2 Zr 0.8 O 2 by activating an inner ferroele
