This paper presents the architecture and the corresponding simulation results for a very low power half-rate extended Hamming (8,4) decoder implemented in analog integrated circuitry. TI’s 65nm low power CMOS design library was used to simulate the complete decoder including an input interface, an analog decoding core and an output interface. The simulated bit error rate (BER) performance of the d
Iron N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes have received a great deal of attention recently because of their growing potential as light sensitizers or photocatalysts. We present a sub-ps X-ray spectroscopy study of an FeIINHC complex that identifies and quantifies the states involved in the deactivation cascade after light absorption. Excited molecules relax back to the ground state along two pat
Using 10 polymorphic microsatellites and 1251 individual samples (some dating back to the early 1980s), genetic structure and effective population size in all native and introduced Swedish populations of the European wels catfish or Silurus glanis were studied. Levels of genetic variability and phylogeographic relationships were compared with data from a previous study of populations in other part
Background and purpose — Having patients self-evaluate the outcome is an important part of the follow-up after knee arthroplasty. The Forgotten Joint Score-12 (FJS-12) introduced joint awareness as a new approach, suggested to be sensitive enough to differentiate well-functioning patients. This study evaluated the Swedish translation of the FJS-12 and investigated the validity, reliability, and in
The purpose of this report is to discuss how a decarbonising the steel, plastic, and paper industries may affect economic growth, wages and employment in the European Union (EU). We approach the issue from two different angles. First, we discuss how a decarbonization of the three industries may affect the rest of the economy. Second, we discuss how a decarbonization of the three industries may af
Purpose To examine the strategic focus of shippers and transport providers (TPs) in reducing the environmental impact of transportation. Research questions: 1) To what extent are the green practices related to transportation described in literature being realised in practice by shippers and TPs? 2) How do shippers and TPs prioritise transportation compared to other initiatives for greening the sup
Background: Given that unwanted hair growth (hirsutism, hypertrichosis) can cause major psychological distress, new pharmacological treatment strategies with safe and effective hair growth inhibitors that do not destroy the hair follicle (HF) and its stem cells need to be developed. Objectives: To establish if osteopontin-derived fragments may modulate human hair growth given that human HFs expres
Camillla Jonasson beskriver sitt avhandlingsarbete inom forskarutbildningen för musikpedagogik. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur relationer mellan människor (humans) och ting (no-humans) uppstår och verkar.
Geospatial information is indispensable for various types of spatially informed analysis and decision-making, such as traffic analyses, and natural resource management. In addition, geospatial information is one of the most powerful information integrators to bridge diverse sources of information. Such natures of geospatial information entail the need of geospatial data integration and geospatial
Background and Aims: Radionuclide therapy is systemic, targeted radiotherapy. As such, we can apply the basic principles of radiobiology used in everyday practice in radiation oncology, as a means of tailoring the treatment to each patient and optimizing the balance between efficacy and toxicity. The most common type of radionuclide therapy used for the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors, is 177Lu
A gardener in Småland, southeastern Sweden, tells that her father cultivated a double daylily, Hemerocallis fulva, with variegated leaves in Stockholm in the mid 20th century. When she moved to Småland, 45 years ago, she brought a piece of his plant with her, and later on she has spread the plant to others. This daylily, known as "Kwanso Variegata", was first found in Japan in 1776, and since then
The potato onion ‘Leksand’, the soapwort ‘Kvinnsgröta’, and the geranium ‘Drottningminne’ are since a few years officially authorized Swedish heritage plants. They are all named after places; a small town in Dalecarlia, a village on the island Öland and a farmstead in the northern region Jämtland. This presentation will discuss how heritage plants are made, in processes which comprise social and p
Having kin and living together with kin influence the individual life course, including a person’s marriage, reproductive career, and survival. A wide range of mechanisms are involved in connecting these life course transitions to support and competition between kin, as well as to characteristics of the family environment. How kin affect the life course is perceived differently in evolutionary ant
Arctic and subarctic soils are typically characterized by low nitrogen (N) availability, suggesting N-limitation of plants and soil microorganisms. Climate warming will stimulate the decomposition of organic matter, resulting in an increase in soil nutrient availability. However, it remains unclear how soil microorganisms in N-limited soils will respond, as the direct effect of inorganic N additio
Sulfite reductase (SiR) contains in the active site a unique assembly of siroheme and a [4Fe4S] cluster, linked by a cysteine residue. Siroheme is a doubly reduced variant of heme that is not used for a catalytic function in any other enzyme. We have used non-equilibrium Green's function methods coupled with density functional theory computations to explain why SiR employs siroheme rather than hem
