Coherent extreme ultraviolet (XUV) radiation can be generated in a tabletop configuration via high-order harmonic generation (HHG) in gases. While HHG is inherently inefficient, increasing the conversion efficiency (CE) is crucial for many applications, such as coincidence spectroscopy [1] and coherent imaging [2], which require high XUV throughput. Previous calculations suggest that one way to im
Photonics-based approaches to neuromorphic hardware offer advantages in speed and connectivity but often suffer from large device footprints.[1] Here, we present an ultra-compact artificial neuron built from semiconductor nanowires. A scanning electron micrograph of the nanowire device is presented in Figure 1a. Inside the dashed box, we show the neuron built from three III-V nanowires - two InP p
Background and objective: Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is an evolving diagnostic tool for prostate cancer. There is a need to harmonise existing guidelines and reporting recommendations for PSMA PET/CT. The Standardised PSMA PET/CT Analysis and Reporting Consensus (SPARC) project aims to consolidate classifications and recommen
The preparation of ultra-thin PtSn-alloyed layers by molecular beam epitaxy was studied using low-energy electron microscopy (LEEM) and micro-diffraction (μ-LEED). Deposition at a sample temperature of 435 °C initially results in the formation of a Pt3Sn/Pt(111) layer showing a (2 × 2) reconstruction. With continued Sn deposition, a Pt2Sn/Pt(111) layer develops, showing a (3×3)R30° reconstruction.
BACKGROUND AND AIM[|]The incidence of skin cancer has risen sharply over the past 30 years - coinciding with the rapidly increasing tattoo trend. In Sweden, 20% of the population is tattooed. The link between tattoos and skin cancer needs to be investigated, due to the presence of carcinogenic chemicals in tattoo ink, and the lack of epidemiological studies of the association. We aimed to investig
Aberrant protein aggregation into amyloid fibrils is often catalyzed by interfaces. Therefore, it is important to characterize the surface activity of chaperone proteins having the ability to suppress amyloid formation. The air–water interface is of large practical significance in experimental setups used to study aggregation kinetics in vitro, but in addition, the binding of chaperones to hydroph
Layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are model systems to investigate the interplay between superconductivity and the charge density wave (CDW) order. Here, we use muon spin rotation and relaxation (μ+SR) to probe the superconducting ground state of polycrystalline 2H-TaS2, which hosts a CDW transition at 76 K and superconductivity below 1 K. The μ+SR measurements, conducted down to 0.2
Aim Habitual physical activity (PA) affects metabolism and homeostasis in various tissues and organs. However, detailed knowledge of associations between PA and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk markers is limited. We sought to identify associations between accelerometer-assessed PA classes and 183 proteomic and 154 metabolomic CVD-related biomarkers. Method We utilized cross-sectional data from t
Objective: To evaluate the effects of excluding fatty tissue in QSM of human knee cartilage. Materials and methods: Gradient echo images from 18 knee-healthy volunteers were acquired, from which chemical shift corrected field perturbation maps were calculated. Based on these, QSM maps were reconstructed using morphology enabled dipole inversion and one of three masking alternatives: (1) excluding
We present a superconducting cavity-coupled double quantum dot (DQD) photodiode that achieves a maximum photon-to-electron conversion efficiency of 25% in the microwave domain. With a higher-quality-factor cavity and improved device design to prevent photon leakages through unwanted pathways, our device measures microwave signals down to the 100-aW power level and achieves sensitivity to probe mic
Correlated electron physics is intrinsically a multiscale problem, since high-energy electronic states screen the interactions between the correlated electrons close to the Fermi level, thereby reducing the magnitude of the interaction strength and dramatically shortening its range. Thus the handling of screening is an essential ingredient in the first-principles modeling of correlated electron sy
Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile genetic sequences comprising around 50% of human DNA. TEs shape gene regulatory networks in development, pluripotency and inflammation, and are implicated in a number of neurological disorders. Therefore, TEs are tightly controlled by epigenetic regulators which form a complex repressive network throughout different stages of development. However, while the r
The number of web services providing cartographic data is increasing. A main challenge is to enable a user to combine these services, not only from a technical perspective, but also from a cartographic one. One common use case for these services is to create mashups based on thematic polygons on top of background maps. In this study we compare four cartographic designs of thematic polygons: only b
BACKGROUND: -Although monocytes in peripheral blood are no longer considered to be a homogeneous population, associations between distinct monocyte subsets and cardiovascular disease have not been highlighted in large epidemiological studies. METHODS AND RESULTS: -The study included 700 randomly selected subjects from the cardiovascular arm of the Malmö Diet and Cancer study. Among these, 123 subj
OBJECTIVES: The findings of experimental studies suggest that the immune system plays a key role in atherosclerosis but the clinical importance of different immune cells in cardiovascular disease remains poorly characterized. In this study we investigated the association between CD8(+) T cells and carotid disease as well as development of cardiovascular disease events. DESIGN: The study cohort com
High red cell distribution width (RDW) is a strong prognostic factor in patients with cardiovascular disease. We investigated the association between RDW and incidence of acute coronary events (CEs) and fatal outcome in subjects who subsequently experienced a first CE.
Polymorphisms of the FA desaturase (FADS) gene cluster have been associated with LDL, HDL, and triglyceride concentrations. Because FADS converts alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and linoleic acid into PUFAs, we investigated the interaction between different PUFA intakes and the FADS polymorphism rs174547 (T>C) on fasting blood lipid and lipoprotein concentrations. We included 4,635 individuals (60% fem
We present comprehensive results on continuous atmospheric cluster and particle measurements in the size range similar to 1-42 nm within the European Integrated project on Aerosol Cloud Climate and Air Quality interactions (EUCAARI) project. We focused on characterizing the spatial and temporal variation of new particle formation events and relevant particle formation parameters across Europe. Dif
