The sequence of peaks and troughs in a load process acting on a material, contains important information about the damage caused by the load, e.g. on the growth rate of a widening crack. The stress range, i.e. the difference between a peak and the following trough, is one of the variables that is used to describe e.g. fatigue life under random loading. The moments, in particular the mean and varia

Aims Experimental studies suggest that the autonomic nervous system modulates atrial refractoriness and conduction velocity in atrial. fibrillation (AF). These modulatory effects are, however, difficult to assess in the clinical setting. This study sought to non-invasively characterize in patients with persistent AF, the influence of autonomic modulation induced by exercise on atrial fibrillatory

Values among individuals having client-related jobs and organisations in client related sectors might differ from values in their counterparts in jobs and sectors that are not client-related. It is possible that jobs that include interactions with other people demand more developed moral thinking. This report is a description of differences that has been found in a comparison between a ward in the

En redogörelse för och diskussion av debattklimatet (olika positioner) i Saudiarabien mot bakgrund av terrorvågen i början av 2000-talet.

Abstract in Undetermined Background: Measured or modeled levels of outdoor air pollution are being used as proxies for individual exposure in a growing number of epidemiological studies. We studied the accuracy of such approaches, in comparison with measured individual levels, and also combined modeled levels for each subject's workplace with the levels at their residence to investigate the influe

Transition metal complexes featuring ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) excited states have been identified as promising candidates for driving electron transfer processes. To obtain an efficient system based on photo-induced bimolecular electron transfer, it is required that (1) photo-induced charge separation (CS) is faster than charge recombination (CR) of the separated charges, and (2) CR

Purpose: To avoid over-treatment of prostate cancer patients following screening for elevated prostate-specific antigen levels, keeping patients on active surveillance has been suggested as an alternative to radical treatment. This means recurring visits for patients with low-grade cancer to monitor progression. Our aim was to develop an artificial intelligence-based model that can identify high-r

Skeletal muscle capillary density is correlated with physical performance and whole-body metabolic properties. Thus, we performed a genome-wide association study of skeletal muscle capillary-to-fiber ratio (C:F) (n = 603 males) and found that the rs115660502 G allele was associated (p < 5 × 10 -8) with increased C:F and reduced skeletal muscle expression of RAB3 GTPase-activating non-catalytic pr

Introduction: Oesophageal resection carries significant morbidity and mortality. Artificial intelligence (AI) advances in medical research enable enhanced predictions, flexibility, and interpretability, especially for complex interactions and nonlinear relationships. Material and methods: We used a register-based case-control design nested within prospectively collected data from the Swedish Natio
