Photoinduced electron transfer processes in perylene-titanium dioxide dye-semiconductor systems are studied. In particular, the influence of saturated and unsaturated aliphatic spacer groups inserted between the chromophore and the semiconductor substrate is investigated. The study is based on a recently developed method that combines first-principles electronic structure calculations to character

In this study, we show a significantly reduced assay time and a greatly increased bead recovery for a commercial Luminex-based multiplex diagnostic immunoassay by performing all liquid handling steps of the assay protocol in a non-contact acoustic trapping platform. The Luminex assay is designed for detecting antibodies in poultry serum for infectious bursal disease virus, infectious bronchitis vi

The monotremes, the duck-billed platypus and the echidnas, are characterized by a number of unique morphological characteristics, which have led to the common belief that they represent the living survivors of an ancestral stock of mammals. Analysis of new data from the complete mitochondrial (mt) genomes of a second monotreme, the spiny anteater. and another marsupial, the wombat. yielded clear s

Continuous supermacroporous chromatographic columns with anion-exchange ligands [2-(dimethylanlino)ethyl group] and immobilized metal affinity (IMA) ligands (Cu2+-loaded iminodiacetic acid) have been developed allowing binding of Escherichia coli cells and the elution of bound cells with high recoveries. These poly(acrylamide)-based continuous supermacroporous columns have been produced by radical

The single Trp of human cystatin C, Trp-106, is located in the second hairpin loop of the proteinase binding surface. Substitution of this residue by Gly markedly altered the spectroscopic changes accompanying papain binding and reduced the affinity for papain, actinidin, and cathepsins B and H by 300-900-fold. The decrease in affinity indicated that the side chain of Trp-106 contributes a similar

Delegated, but still intensive: Quality time and parenting in upper-middle class families in Sweden During the last decade, Swedish families have started to employ nannies and au pairs to an extent previously never experienced. Political initiatives such as tax deductions for household services, together with global trends of ‘care chains’, have created a private market for care services, which ha

Human 6-sulfo LacNac-positive (slan+) cells have been subject to a paradigm debate. They have previously been classified as a distinct dendritic cell (DC) subset. However, evidence has emerged that they may be more related to monocytes than to DCs. To gain deeper insight into the functional specialization of slan+ cells, we have compared them with both conventional myeloid DC subsets (CD1c+ and CDHuman 6-sulfo LacNac-positive (slan+) cells have been subject to a paradigm debate.

Signal processing complexity and required memory become problematic in massive MIMO systems as the dimension of channel state information (CSI) matrix grows significantly with the large number of antennas and users. To address these challenges, we propose the first angular-domain massive MIMO detection scheme, which is based on three concepts: transferring the baseband processing from the spatial

Pharmaceutical industry funding of patient organizations raises ethical challenges related to patient engagement in healthcare due to fears of commercial agendas influencing patient advocacy and creating industry-driven inequalities across patient organizations. We contribute to an international body of knowledge on patient organization–industry relations by analyzing all payments reported by comp

Stora företag i västvärlden har de senaste åren i ökad takt inkorporerat social rättvisa (jämställdhet, HBTQ+ rättigheter, rättvisa i rasfrågan) och miljörättvisa i deras marknadsföring och reklam. Modebranschen är en av de branscher som har använt sig särskilt mycket av social rättvise-symbolik. Denna avhandling fokuserar på artikulationer av miljö, genus, och ras genom en studie av hållbarhet ocThe corporatisation of social justice (gender justice, LGBTQI+ rights, racial justice) and environmental justice ideals in the last decades has grown immensely in western countries, exemplified by rainbow-clad ATM’s during Pride month or Nike using images of NFL player Kaepernick’s anti-racism protest action of taking a knee during the USA national anthem in a marketing campaign. One of the indust

A g-C3N4/CdSe quantum dot/[Fe2S2(CO)6] composite has been successfully constructed. The structure and chemical composition of the composite were investigated via, inter alia, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The ability of the assembly to act as a photocatalyst for proton reduction to form hydrogen g
