Long double-stranded DNA molecules were separated in microfabricated hexagonal arrays in less than 1 min, several orders of magnitude faster than by using conventional technology. DNA samples were first concentrated at the entrance to the array in a thin band by entropic focusing. They were then separated by pulsed field electrophoresis. T4 (168.9 kbp) and λ (48.5 kbp) DNAs could be resolved into
Although folk culture in Yemen is characterised by respect for women and their role in society, folktales contain stereotypical patterns that are not very different from the negative portrayals of women in other media. Folktales in Yemen create a negative image of women, but this image is hidden under the aesthetic aspect, as cultural patterns embedded in the consolidation of this negative image.
Air-to-air refueling is a vital technique for extending the range and endurance of manned or unmanned aircraft, with over 1000 refueling procedures flown per day in military operations. The hardware used for air-to-air refueling needs to be tailored to the specific aircraft and airspeeds involved, performing markedly different for permutations of tanker and receiver craft. Extensive flight testing
An historical essay for the exhibition Lust & Vice in the Visual Arts, Nationalmuseum, Stockholm 2011.
Introduction: The hospitalization rate of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) in a nationwide study is not established. We determined age- and sex-specific hospitalization rates and time trends for hospitalized PSVT in the Swedish population between 1987 and 2010. Methods: This nationwide study is based on the Swedish Hospital Discharge Register. The patients with first PSVT diagnoses b
Increasing evidence indicates an integral role for the complement system in the deleterious inflammatory reactions that occur during critical phases of the transplantation process, such as brain or cardiac death of the donor, surgical trauma, organ preservation and ischaemia–reperfusion injury, as well as in humoral and cellular immune responses to the allograft. Ischaemia is the most common cause
This chapter focuses on the impact of the war on the mental well-being ofuniversity students. First, we will provide a brief overview of the “generationof war” – comprising the majority of the current university students – and themental health issues that war can cause. Next, we present the results of astudent well-being survey conducted at Zhytomyr Polytechnic State Uni-versity in 2022, 2023 and
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning:Elfordon uppfattas ofta som en modern uppfinning, men elektriskt drivna fordon har funnits sedan slutet av artonhundratalet. De första helelektriska personbilarna, bussarna och lastbilarna utvecklades redan innan förbränningsmotorn slog igenom.För att förstå varför elektriska störningar spelar en så viktig roll i dagens elfordon kan man börja med en enkel bild. TThe rapid electrification of heavy-duty vehicles has introduced traction voltage systems (TVS) with electrical scale and complexity not previously seen in on-road applications. Multiple power electronic subsystems interact through long cables and frequency-dependent impedances, making conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI) a system-level phenomenon. Differential-mode (DM) and common-mode (CM
Contemporary Nordic building design prioritizes energy-efficient HVAC systems to mitigate carbon emissions. However, this approach underestimates intensifying climate risks, creating critical vulnerabilities as extreme weather and energy/resource scarcity escalate. To address this gap, a free-running building concept, eliminating heating, cooling, and mechanical ventilation, was examined for Nordi
The effects of oxygen concentration on combustion of gases have been investigated on fundamental levels in several studies. However, the same type of fundamental studies has not been made for liquid or solid fuels due to complex relationships between flame structure and changing mass loss rates (MLR). In this study, an experimental setup is designed that allows for extended times of stable combust
A computational method to simulate bimolecular quenching reactions using coarse-grained reaction-diffusion dynamics is presented and applied to the quenching of molecular photosensitizers in solution. The simulations describe photoinduced reactions involving explicit excited states of light-harvesting species together with intrinsic deactivation, as well as collision quenching from separate quench
Background & Aims Microscopic colitis (MC) is a leading cause of chronic diarrhea, particularly in older adults. Although many patients respond to budesonide, refractory and dependent cases pose major therapeutic challenges. Although the off-label use of advanced inflammatory bowel disease therapies is expanding, robust real-world data remain scarce. Methods Through the ECCO CONFER network, we
