We report on the opportunities for direct geometry chopper spectrometers (DGCS) by polychromatic illumination of the sample. At pulsed sources the use of multiple initial neutron energies appears naturally, if the repetition rate of chopper in front of the sample is larger than the repetition rate of the source. As a consequence, a large part of the spectrum is measured redundantly with variable e
SynopsisOn the basis of kinetic studies of the manganese-catalyzed autoxidation of sulfite and thermodynamic data for iron−manganese redox processes and manganese(II) and -(III) protolysis equilibria, the catalytically active species in the autoxidation is concluded to be a mixed-valence oxo-bridged manganese(II,III) complex. Iron−manganese synergism and triggering of the chain reaction by small c
The aim of this study was to estimate costs of treating venous leg ulcers in Sweden and the United Kingdom during 1 year and to quantify costs in different health states, The costs of treating four different types of venous leg ulcers were estimated for 52 weeks by a stochastic health economic model, which simulated resource use data obtained from prospectively collected patient data, expert panel
The present paper discusses the process of young immigrant integration from the point of view of policymakers. The focus in narrowed to application of multiculturalism in pre-primary, primary and secondary education strategies as a tool for integration. Interpretation of multiculturalism is compared in two countries – Germany and Sweden and on two levels – national and supranational. The paper is
Context. Positions and proper motions of Gaia sources are expressed in a reference frame that ideally should be non-rotating relative to distant extragalactic objects, coincident with the International Celestial Reference System (ICRS), and consistent across all magnitudes. For sources fainter than 16th magnitude, this is achieved through Gaia's direct observations of quasars. At brighter magnitud
We report on C 1s and N 1s near-edge X-ray absorption (NEXAFS) investigations of highly oriented ultrathin films of 2,5-dimethyl-N,N′-dicyanoquinonediimine (DMe-DCNQI), tetracyano-quinonedimethane (TCNQ), and 2,5-dimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone (DMe-BQ) adsorbed on Ag(111). Several sharp resonances are resolved in the spectra indicating the localized electronic structure of these quinoide molecules. The
Measurements of fetal aortic blood flow velocity and fetal growth were performed in 178 pregnancies. In 87 cases, the estimated fetal weight was > 2 SD below the gestational age-related mean of the population. Three fetuses died in utero. In 148 children (84%) an assessment of overall intellectual ability was performed at 6.5 years of age. Verbal and global IQ was lower in the group with an abnorm
Measurements of fetal aortic blood flow velocity and fetal growth were performed in 178 pregnancies. In 87 cases, the estimated fetal weight was > or = 2 SD below the gestational age-related mean of the population. Three fetuses died in utero. In 149 children (85%), a neurological examination was performed at 7 years of age with special emphasis on minor neurological dysfunction. The frequency of
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
We are surrounded by various chemicals, both naturally occurring and synthetically produced. Some, but not all, chemicals can be hazardous for human health following exposure, especially for vulnerable population groups including children, adolescents, and pregnant women. The increased use and production of chemicals have contributed positively to society in numerous ways, while also resulting in

Like Einstein's general theory of relativity is concerned with explaining the basics of an observable experience – i.e., gravity – most people take for granted that Chomsky's theory of generative grammar (GG) is concerned with the basic nature of language. This chapter highlights a mere subset of central constructs in GG, showing how they have featured prominently and thus shaped formal linguistic
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common form of acute leukemia in adults and the second most common among children. AML is characterized by aberrant proliferation of myeloid blasts in the bone marrow and impaired normal hematopoiesis. Despite the introduction of new drugs and allogeneic bone marrow transplantation, patients have poor overall survival rate with relapse as the major challeng
In this article I use autoethnographic method to assess two situations in which my kink identity and my non-monogamous identity clash with my role as a university teacher. Both identities are norm-breaking and stigmatized. They are coded as private in contrast to the professional ideal of the teacher. I ask how it affects me to keep part of my lived reality hidden and discuss what conflicts are obIn this article I use autoethnographic method to assess two situations in which my kink identity and my non-monogamous identity clash with my role as a university teacher.

Objectives: To compare time intervals to diagnosis and treatment, tumor characteristics, and management in patients with primary urinary bladder cancer, diagnosed before and after the implementation of a standardized care pathway (SCP) in Sweden. Materials and methods: Data from the Swedish National Register of Urinary Bladder Cancer was studied before (2011–2015) and after (2016–2019) SCP. Data a
