Polarisation spectroscopy (PS) was used to probe CO2 gas concentration in a CO2/N-2 binary mixture at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature. The CO2 molecules were probed by a direct laser excitation to an overtone and combination vibrational state. The tuneable narrow linewidth infrared laser radiation at 2 mum was obtained by Raman shifting of the output from a single-longitudinal-mode pu
In most of the previous ultrafast electron injection studies of Ru(dcbpy)(2)(NCS)(2)-sensitized nanocrystalline TiO2 films, experimental conditions and sample preparation have been different from study to study and no studies of how the differences affect the observed dynamics have been reported. In the present paper, we have investigated the influence of such modifications. Pump photon density, e
Although literature concerning chronic pain patients indicates that cognitive behavioural variables, specifically acceptance and fear of movement/(re)injury, are related to life impact, the relative roles of these factors in relation to pain characteristics (e.g. intensity and spreading) and emotional distress are unclear. Moreover, how these variables affect rehabilitation outcomes in different s
Recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) is a mammalian virus that has been altered to be used as a gene delivery vehicle. Several changes to the viral genome have made them replication deficient so that this aspect of the viral infection cycle is under full control of the experimenter, while maintaining gene expression machinery. Over the last decades, rAAVs have become the gold standard for stu
Sweden experienced a dramatic shakeout of the older workforce in the first half of the 1990s as part of the economic crisis 1991-94. The labour force participation rates and, even more pronounced the employment rates for the older workforce sank dramatically. However, when the Swedish economy recovered in the latter half of the 1990s the employment rates for the older workers, both for men and wom
A cultivation strategy for the production of two truncated thermostable recombinant xylanases (Xyn1ΔN and Xyn1ΔNC) was developed. Fed-batch cultivations of Escherichia coli strain BL21(DE3) with a controlled exponential glucose feed led to high specific production of the recombinant proteins. Addition of complex nutrients (e.g. Tryptone Soya Broth (TSB)) to the media were shown to increase both th
Context: The European Association of Urology (EAU) has released an updated version of the guidelines on non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Objective: To present the 2021 EAU guidelines on NMIBC. Evidence acquisition: A broad and comprehensive scoping exercise covering all areas of the NMIBC guidelines since the 2020 version was performed. Databases covered by the search included Medline,
Therapeutic advances using targeted biologicals and small-molecule drugs have achieved significant success in the treatment of chronic allergic, autoimmune, and inflammatory diseases particularly for some patients with severe, treatment-resistant forms. This has been aided by improved identification of disease phenotypes. Despite these achievements, not all severe forms of chronic inflammatory and
The numerical simulation of the induction heating process can be computationally expensive, especially if ferromagnetic materials are studied. There are several analytical models that describe the electromagnetic phenomena. However, these are very limited by the geometry of the coil and the workpiece. Thus, the usual method for computing more complex systems is to use the finite element method to
Bayesian inference under a set of priors, called robust Bayesian analysis, allows for estimation of parameters within a model and quantification of epistemic uncertainty in quantities of interest by bounded (or imprecise) probability. Iterative importance sampling can be used to estimate bounds on the quantity of interest by optimizing over the set of priors. A method for iterative importance samp
A search is performed for Higgs bosons produced in association with top quarks using the diphoton decay mode of the Higgs boson. Selection requirements are optimized separately for leptonic and fully hadronic final states from the top quark decays. The dataset used corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 4.5 fb(-1) of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV and 20.3 fb(-1)
Traditionally, design analysts are solely responsible for all computerbased design analysis (CBDA). CBDA refers to quantitative design analyses utilising computational tools in the engineering design and development of technical solutions. There are currently limited insights into and knowledge of tools and methods needed to facilitate the use of CBDA by engineering designers. In order to gather i
This paper explores recent trends in Uzbek labor migration, with a focus on the growing role of the European Union as a destination. While Russia remains the largest host country, ongoing diversification has led to a notable increase in migration to EU member states, particularly for employment. Drawing on official statistics and fieldwork, the study highlights rising numbers of Uzbek migrants in
Popular Abstract in Swedish Den här avhandlingen handlar om att skräddarsy mikroorganismer så att de kan utföra specifika kemiska reaktioner. Nästan alla material och produkter vi har omkring oss idag har framställts genom kemiska metoder. Ofta används olja vilken så småningom kommer sina, som utgångskemikalie. När de framställda produkterna sedan förbränns efter användning släpps koldioxid ut vilChiral building blocks are important molecules for synthesis of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Biocatalysis has gained in relevance over traditional organic methods for synthesis of chiral compounds, as reactions can be performed at high enantio-selectivity and purity with environmentally friendly, simple, and cheap methods. The aim of the present study was to explore the feasibility of using
Den 11 juni 2013 kom Högsta domstolen efter ett avgörande i plenum fram till att rätten att inte bli lagförd eller straffad två gånger för samma brott omfattar det svenska systemet med skattetillägg och påföljd för brott mot skattebrottslagen. Avgörandet väcker frågan om det i svensk rätt finns en liknande problematik på andra rättsområden. Ett exempel där dubbla förfarande används återfinns inom On 11 June 2013, the Swedish Supreme Court concluded that the Swedish system with punishment for tax offence and tax surcharges in different proceedings was not compatible with the principle ne bis in idem. The outcome raises the question whether there are similar problems of double proceedings in other legal areas in Sweden. One example where similar double proceedings are being used is found in
I Sverige tillämpas traditionsprincipen vid omsättningsöverlåtelser. Denna princip innebär att ett köpeavtal inte är tillräckligt för att en köpare ska erhålla sakrättsligt skydd gentemot säljarens borgenärer. I svensk rätt krävs det en fysisk besittningsförändring av den köpta egendomen eller ett rättsligt rådighetsavskärande för att en köpare ska erhålla borgenärsskydd. Principen har tillämpats
Heterologous overexpression of proteins signifies that the encoding gene of a protein in one organism is expressed in another host organism that normally does not have that gene in its genome. In basic biochemical research, this is an important method for studying various protein functions such as activity and interactions in biological processes, as well as obtaining sufficient amounts to determi
