Popular Abstract in English Nowadays, cutting-edge technologies require devices to be small, ultrafast, and operational in a wide range of regimes. To fulfill these requirements we need to go beyond the traditional materials, i.e. to solids with novel, unconventional and tailorable properties. Great progress in this direction is conjectured to stem from materials in which the effect of inter-partiCutting-edge technology needs small, ultrafast devices, operational in a wide range of regimes. This calls for solids with novel, unconventional and tailorable properties. Great progress is expected from materials in which electron-electron and electron-phonon correlations strongly affect the dynamics ( i.e. "unforeseen" useful properties are expected to be most likely found in systems with comple

A novel insertion device for electron storage rings called the MAX-Wiggler has been constructed and commissioned at MAX-lab. The MAX-Wiggler is a cold bore superconducting wiggler magnet with 47 3.5 T poles and a period length of 61 mm aimed for the production of X-rays at the 1.5 GeV electron storage ring MAX-II at MAX-lab. This note describes the cryogenic system of the MAX-Wiggler, theoretical

Using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) we identified 26 unique major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genotypes in 104 water pythons. We observed a significant independent association between reduced blood parasite load (Hepatozoon sp.) and python body length/age, presence of a specific RFLP fragment (C-fragment) and the overall number of fragments. The parasite has a negative impac

A gated tunnel diode has been introduced into a wave-guide oscillator circuit and the gate is used to tune the oscillation frequency and to turn the oscillator on and off. Oscillators with oscillation frequencies in the range of 9-22 GHz with a typical oscillator output power about -20 dBm have been fabricated. We found that the output power remains essentially constant over a gate bias range (abo

Sex pheromones facilitate species-specific sex communication within the Lepidoptera. They are detected by specialised pheromone receptors (PRs), most of which to date fall into a single monophyletic receptor lineage (frequently referred to as "the PR clade") within the odorant receptor (OR) family. Here we investigated PRs of the invasive horticultural pest, Epiphyas postvittana, commonly known as

Bio-based 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) and its derivatives have attracted enormous attention due to their valuable market potential. Production of pure 5-HMF is challenging owing to the high reactivity of its functional groups and formation of by-products. In this study, an efficient continuous process for 5-HMF production in a biphasic system and its recovery at high yield and selectivity was

Starch-modifying processes, such as pyrodextrinization, are potential ways to alter the nutritional features of this polysaccharide. A widely used method for pyrodextrinizing maize starch was also applied to lentil, sorghum, cocoyam, sagu, and cassava starches, and the in vitro digestibility of the products was evaluated. Pyrodextrins were produced by heating starch at 140°C for 3 h, with catalyti

The unnecessary and disproportionate use of pre-trial detention is a global issue that affects developed and developing countries alike. According to World Prison Brief, Cambodia has ranked 12th (among 217 countries) making it become a country with one of the highest percentages of pre-trial detainees: 71.8 percent to be exact. The excessive and unnecessary use of pre-trial detention in the Kingdo

Fires due to cooking of food or forgetting other objects on a hot stove plate is one of the most common cause of fire in Sweden. This report will investigate the risk of ignition on a hot stove plate for several objects and examine how the expert witness reports regarding stove fires are written today and how they could possibly be developed. The examination of expert witness reports showed that

Vi befinner oss i en tid där väl utformad design utgör en eftertraktad konkurrensfördel vid reklam- och saluförandet av produkter. Det blir därför allt viktigare för formgivare och företag att kunna skydda sina immaterialrättsliga prestationer för att kunna kapitalisera på dem. Inom ramen för de immaterialrättsliga regelverken finns det möjligheter till skydd för en designprodukts utseende inom upWe are currently at a day and age when well-designed products represents a sought after competitive advantage in the advertising and sales of goods. It is therefore becoming increasingly important for designers and companies to be able to protect their intellectual property rights and capitalize on them. Within the framework of intellectual property rights, it is possible to achieve protection of

Med anledning av klimatkrisen har EU-kommissionen presenterat En ny handlingsplan för den cirkulära ekonomin – För ett renare och mer konkur-rens-kraftigt Europa. Det huvudsakliga syftet med handlingsplanen är att skapa förutsättningar för att ställa om till ett klimatneutralt samhälle och att frikoppla ekonomisk tillväxt från resursanvändning. I handlingsplanen anges därför att förutsättningar föDue to the climate crisis, the European Commission has presented A new Circular Economy Action Plan – For a cleaner and more competitive Europe. The main purpose of the action plan is to create a framework for sustainable products to change into a climate neutral society and decoupling economic growth from resource use. The action plan therefore states that conditions for reuse and repair, among o

Background: Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute self-limiting inflammatory vasculitis affecting predominantly medium-sized arteries, particularly the coronary arteries. A number of recent studies conducted in different European countries have demonstrated alarmingly high coronary complications despite treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG). These high complication rates now emphasize the n

Organizations that manufacture high volumes of complex products (e.g., pharmaceutical, automotive, food) require specific strategies to ensure efficient processing of parts and a sustainable level of inventory by waste minimization. A review of literature sources revealed how inventory is classified and managed amongst organizations and industries and key challenges that current organizations face

BACKGROUND: Previous studies of glucagon stimulation test (GST) in children have shown variable results regarding the utility and reliability of the cortisol response to this test and its correlation with clinical parameters. The aim of this study was to assess cortisol levels at GST and to evaluate how clinical parameters, such as age, sex, pubertal status and Body Mass Index (BMI), correlate to

Pharmaceutical companies spend hundreds of millions of pounds on marketing/R&D-related payments annually to healthcare organisations and healthcare professionals. UK pharmaceutical industry self-regulatory bodies require member companies who sign up to their code of conduct to publish details of their payments. They are also required to publish the methodologies underlying these payments, name

Adaptation to different ecological niches is considered one of the main drivers of species diversification, also in cryptic species complexes, notwithstanding their morphological stasis. We here review all the published information on ecological differentiation within cryptic species complexes within the phylum Rotifera. We found 177 instances of cryptic species identified genetically, published i
