Spring water, however, is often formed in complex geological formations and therefore it is difficult to determine the catchment area contributing to the flow. The Sayanokami spring, located in western part of Fukuoka City, Japan, is such a spring and an important water resource for the local agriculture. In order to better understand the hydrological properties of infiltration and groundwater pro
Background: The African continent hosts many industrial mining projects, and many more are planned due to recent prospecting discoveries and increasing demand for various minerals to promote a low-carbon future. The extraction of natural resources in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) represents an opportunity for economic development but also poses a threat to population health through rapid urbanisation a
Background: Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is associated with an enormous burden of disease and cost to society. The dopamine deficiency hypothesis posits that negative reinforcement generated by a low brain dopamine state drives ethanol intake. Here, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of combined administration of two dopamine-enhancing drugs, varenicline (a partial nicotinic acetylcholine receptor
Even after fifty years since its introduction, the empirical Thornton’s structure zone diagram remains a valuable tool for predicting thin film microstructure. This diagram is essential for understanding the correlation between synthesis, composition, structure, and physical properties in emerging applications. In this work, we critically appraise this diagram by examining Sn─O thin films grown at
Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) can induce oxidative stress, genomic instability, and epigenetic modifications. In occupational settings, Cr(VI)-exposed workers may also be exposed to other toxicants, such as elements besides Cr, and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). However, research on the extent of these co-exposures and their combined effects remains limited. The objective of this study
This paper examines traces of Sámi habitation in southern and central Scandi-navia, particularly Sweden, addressing the late medieval period to the end of thenineteenth century. It begins with Swedish judicial policy against Sámi nomadismin central Sweden, followed by a discussion of medieval Sámi material culture insouthern Scandinavia. Further analysis addresses so-called Parish-Lapp indenture,w
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a heterogeneous disease, and infectious agents are suspected to be involved in the tumorigenesis of DLBCL. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding RNAs modulating protein expression. We compared miRNA expression profiles in lymph node tissues of patients with DLBCL of the activated B-cell like (ABC) type from two geographical areas with different background expos
Abstract: The concentrations of cyclic AMP, noradrenaline, glycogen, glucose, lactate, pyruvate, labile phosphate compounds, and free fatty acids were investigated in the rat neocortex and hippocampus during and following cerebral ischemia. An incomplete ischemia of 5 and 15 min duration was induced by bilateral carotid clamping combined with hypotension. The postischemic events were studied afte
BACKGROUND: The Pediatric Heart Network designed a clinical trial to compare aortic root growth and other short-term cardiovascular outcomes in children and young adults with Marfan syndrome randomized to receive atenolol or losartan. We report here the characteristics of the screened population and enrolled subjects.METHODS AND RESULTS: Between 2007 and 2011, 21 clinical sites randomized 608 subj
We present 2p core-level spectra of size-selected aluminum and silicon cluster cations from soft X-ray photoionization efficiency curves and density functional theory. The experimental and theoretical results are in very good quantitative agreement and allow for geometric structure determination. New ground state geometries for Al
We explore the interplay of electron-electron correlations and surface effects in the prototypical correlated insulating material, NiO. In particular, we compute the electronic structure, magnetic properties, and surface energies of the (001) and (110) surfaces of paramagnetic NiO using a fully charge self-consistent DFT+ dynamical mean-field theory method. Our results reveal a complex interplay b
This work numerically and experimentally studies the heat transfer performances and flow characteristics of vortex generators (VGs) in a high aspect ratio rectangular ribbed channel with the Reynolds number ranging from 20000 to 100000. The steady liquid crystal thermography (LCT) method is adopted to link the images captured by experiments and the Nusselt numbers. Four different cases combining r
Average energies for the configurations 2p5 3s, 3p and 3d in a number of neon-like ions from Al IV to Xe XLV have been calculated by means of the MCDF computer code of Grant et al. The results have been compared with observations and previous non-relativistic calculations. Fine- structure levels and 3s-3p and ip-3d transition wavelengths have also been calculated with the MCDF code for Ti XIII and
The World Energy Council ranks the Danish energy system among best in the world judging by the energy trilemma criteria: energy security, energy equity, and sustainability. District heating (DH) and CHPs are pivotal for this ranking. This brief historical account illustrates how a mix of historical events, collective societal experiences, cultural and political values inform the Danish history of
This thesis examines how the restrictive doctrine of state immunity is approached and applied in Sweden. The thesis focuses on disputes involving the distinction between sovereign and commercial acts in general, and employment disputes in particular. The thesis uses a legal dogmatic method with elements of legal analysis, where the analysis is primarily based on case law from the Supreme Court o
