Molecularly imprinted nanoparticles are cross-linked polymer colloids containing tailor-made molecular recognition sites. In this study, molecularly imprinted nanoparticles were easily encapsulated within polymer nanofibers using an electrospinning technique to produce a new type of molecular recognition material. Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) was used as the supporting nanofibers matrix to e

Introduction: Routine EEG is widely used and accessible for post arrest neuroprognostication. Recent studies, using standardised EEG terminology, have proposed highly malignant EEG patterns with promising predictive ability. Objectives: To validate the performance of standardised routine EEG patterns to predict neurological outcome after cardiac arrest. Methods: In the prospective multicenter Targ

Two hydride compounds with aliphatic pincer ligands, (PCyP)IrH2 (PCyP = {cis-1,3-bis[(di-tert-butylphosphino)methyl]cyclohexane}- (1) and (PCyP)IrH4 (2), have been studied, with emphasis on features where such systems differ from arene-based analogues. Both compounds reveal relatively rapid exchange between α-C-H and Ir-H, which can occur via formation of carbene or through demetalation, with near

The production, consumption and disposal of plastics in today’s economies simultaneously contribute to climate change and pollution. With expected production growth for plastics, these problems will only exacerbate. To address the plastic crisis, we need a reduction of its production, as well as a fundamental rethinking of our relationship with this material. Reorganising economies to be less reli

The chiral tetradentate N4-donor ligand, 1-methyl-2-({(S)-2-[(S)-1-(1-methylbenzimidazol-2-yl methyl)pyrrolidin-2-yl]pyrrolidin-1-yl}methyl) benzimidazole (S,S- PDBz L), based on a chiral dipyrrolidine backbone, has been synthesized and its corresponding Fe(ii) complex has been prepared and characterized. The X-ray structure of the complex reveals that the Fe(ii) ion is in a distorted octahedral

We aimed to formulate guidance on MRI of glioma and determine its feasibility, by seeking information on glioma imaging practices from the European Neuroradiology community. Methods: Invitations to a structured

Distribution patterns of resources and their role in determining species distribution are not only fundamental to the understanding of ecological patterns, but also of practical significance in conservation management. Shorebirds are experiencing precipitous declines globally, especially along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway (EAAF), where the major threats include the loss and degradation of ti

The housing shortage in Sweden means that a lot of focus is placed on finding new efficient methods that allow for a faster and more cost-effective construction. The type of industrial construction that was used in the so called Million Program in Sweden in the 60s and 70s was substandard in many ways and has given many Swedes a negative image of what industrialized construction and prefabrication

Resistivity in horizontal boreholes can give useful detailed information about the geological conditions for construction in rock, i.e. in front of a tunnel bore machine. This paper is an attempt to identify a suitable methodology for an effective measuring routine for this type of geophysical measurements under actual construction site conditions. Prior to any measurements numerical modelling was

This project aims to envision the future of virtual collaboration in the year 2030. Global trends show that ever since the Covid-19 pandemic, hybrid work has become a standard in almost all job sectors, making virtual collaboration crucial for the success of hybrid teams. Although the option to work from home partially or completely has well documented outcomes of higher employee productivity and

Summertime measurements of CO2 and CH4 fluxes were carried out over a range of high-arctic ecosystem types in the valley Zackenbergdalen since 1996 using both chamber and eddy covariance methodology. The net ecosystem CO2 exchange and CH4 flux data presented reveal a high degree of inter-annual variability within the dominant vegetation types in the valley, but also show distinct differences betwe

Popular Abstract in English Alcohols and aldehydes are used in the chemical industry largely as a starting material for the manufacture of a wide range of products. They are also used as such in various industrial applications. The flexibility is due mainly to the functionalities of the alcohols and aldehydes being hydroxylic and carbonylic, respectively. Much interest is directed nowadays at convNowadays, transition metal oxide catalysts are employed to a large extent in many chemical processes for the selective production of chemicals and intermediates. Although metal oxides are mostly known as oxidation catalysts, they can successfully catalyze a wide range of reactions, such as dehydration. Two different processes have been studied in the present work: the selective oxidation of methan

Klimatmönstren världen över förändras och med dessa den globala distributionen och mängden av landbundet kol, dvs vegetationen som bland annat nyttjas som mat och fiber. Också I sig självt en viktig faktor i klimatets utveckling genom dess roll i energi- och vattenkretsloppen. Vetskap om kvantitet och distribution av landbundet kol och hur detta förändras är en viktigt del av arbetet i att förstå The climatic patterns of the world are changing and with them the spatial distribution of global terrestrial carbon; the food and fiber of the world and in itself an important factor in the changing climate. Knowledge of how the terrestrial carbon stock is changing, its distribution and quantity, is important in understanding how the patterns of the world are changing and large scale models using

One of the key elements in a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) is the gas diffusion layer (GDL). The GDL offers mechanical support to the cell and provides the medium for diffusing the reactant gases from the flow plates to the electrolyte enabling the electrochemical reactions, and therefore the energy conversion. At the same time, it has the task of transporting the electrons from the active

Deep metabarcoding offers an efficient and reproducible approach to biodiversity monitoring, but noisy data and incomplete reference databases challenge accurate diversity estimation and taxonomic annotation. Here, we introduce a novel algorithm, NEEAT, for removing spurious operational taxonomic units (OTUs) originating from nuclear-embedded mitochondrial DNA sequences (NUMTs) or sequencing error
