Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Då man för ner en elektrisk ström i marken kommer vissa material i marken laddas upp p.g.a. att positiva och negativa joner samlar ihop sig på ytor och i trånga porkanaler. Detta kallas för polarisering och kan användas för att bestämma t.ex. vad för typ av geologiska material som finns under markytan eller vart föroreningar i marken tar vägen. Fenomenet som uppIt has been shown that surveys of Induced polarization (IP) often contain data of low quality, because it is highly sensitive against different noise sources. When measuring induced polarization, where the method uses multicore cables and continuous electrode sounding (CVES, Continuous Vertical Electrical Sounding), noise phenomena such as capacitive coupling effects have to be considered. It is p

Popular summary Energy generation from renewable sources is one of the main issues to be solved for the 21st century. One of the most advanced technologies currently available is wind energy, which has a large potential onshore and offshore. However, in many cases wind energy is restricted to large wind parks with wind power plants sometimes exceeding heights of 100 m. The construction of large wi

The catalytic oxidation of HCl by molecular oxygen (Deacon process) over ceria allows the recovery of molecular chlorine from the omnipresent HCl waste produced in various industrial processes. In previous density functional theory (DFT) model-calculations by Amrute et al. [ J. Catal. 2012, 286, 287−297.], it was proposed that the most critical reaction step in this process is the displacement of

When investigating a settlement dated to the late Mesolithic,c.5500 cal BC, at Strandvägen in south-central Sweden, an extensive assemblageof implements made of bone and antler was found. Among these finds was a richlydecorated antler piece, likely part of an antler axe. Originally it was equippedwith shallow ornamentation that was later removed and replaced by a seconddeeper motif of longitudinal

Robins captured as passage migrants by the Baltic Sea in Sweden at Falsterbo and Ottenby Bird Observatories, respectively, differ with respect to body mass, fat load and orientation behaviour. Relatively more birds with large visual fat deposits are captured at Ottenby than at Falsterbo, but robins at Falsterbo carry more fat than robins at Ottenby. Robins with small fat loads at Ottenby probably

Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) in the tumor microenvironment are prognostically beneficial in many solid cancer types. Reports on TLS in high-grade serous tubo-ovarian carcinoma (HGSC) are few, and the prognostic impact is unclear. We investigated mature TLS (mTLS), immature TLS (iTLS) and lymphoid aggregates (LA) in primary adnexal tumors (PTs) and synchronous omental/peritoneal metastases (p

Objectives: Fusobacterium can contribute to oral diseases, but also pose as a systemic risk factor. This genus, and especially F. nucleatum, can be found in colorectal cancer (CRC) tissue and is involved in multiple aspects of this type of cancer. Previous studies indicated a possible oral origin of these bacteria; however, stronger evidence is needed to reach a definitive conclusion. This pilot s

The consecutive binding of two potassium ions to a bis(18-crown-6) analogue of Tröger’s base (BCETB) in water was studied by isothermal titration calorimetry using four different salts, KCl, KI, KSCN, and K2SO4. A counterintuitive result was observed: the enthalpy change associated with the binding of the second ion is more negative than that of the first (ΔH°bind,2 < ΔH°bind,1). This remarkable f

This study builds on analyses of everyday professional practices to explore de-bordering and re-bordering processes in the field of gender-based violence (GBV). The concepts of de-bordering and re-bordering practices express the tensions arising from the conflictual roles taken on by civil society actors (CSAs) in their double vest of service delivery for the state and advocate for migrant women w

The surface electron density significantly affects the photocatalytic efficiency, especially the photocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction, which involves multi-electron participation in the conversion process. Herein, we propose a conceptually different mechanism for surface electron density modulation based on the model of Au anchored CdS. We firstly manipulate the direction of electron transfer by

We used in situ hybridization histochemistry to study the expression of the two vesicular monoamine transporters (VMAT1 and VMAT2) during embryonic development in the rat. In the adult rat VMAT2 is present exclusively in neuronal tissues and VMAT1 is present in the adrenal medulla and in certain intestinal endocrine cells. We found that both transporter molecules are more widely expressed during d

Objectives To determine whether videos taken by parents of their infants' spontaneous movements were in accordance with required standards in the In-Motion-App, and whether the videos could be remotely scored by a trained General Movement Assessment (GMA) observer. Additionally, to assess the feasibility of using home-based video recordings for automated tracking of spontaneous movements, and to e

As an alternative to clear-cutting, variable-retention harvesting is now standard forest management practice on the coast of British Columbia and in temperate forests globally, due to the benefits associated with maintaining mature forest species and forest structural diversity. Although there is some evidence that variable-retention harvesting, particularly single-tree (dispersed) retention will

The transient electromagnetic (TEM) method is widely used in resistivity mapping but rarely applied in monitoring experiments. In this study, we present an algorithm to invert time-lapse TEM data, with inversion of both synthetic data and field data. Three main novelties distinguish this new inversion algorithm: i) a multiple-mesh approach is used for the definition of model parameters and forward

Protein scaffolds direct the organization of amorphous precursors that transform into mineralized tissues, but the templating mechanism remains elusive. Motivated by models for the biomineralization of tooth enamel, wherein amyloid-like amelogenin nanoribbons guide the mineralization of apatite filaments, we investigated the impact of nanoribbon structure, sequence, and chemistry on amorphous calc
