Production of polyhydroxyalkanoates is an important field in the biorefinery as bio-alternative to conventional plastics. However, its commercialization is still limited by high production cost. In this study, a process with the potential to reduce the production cost of polyhydroxyalkanoates was proposed. Mixed cultures accumulated polyhydroxyalkanoates using volatile fatty acid-rich effluents fr

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) strains naturally produce pesticidal proteins as nanocrystalline inclusions that are extraordinarily stable in aqueous environments, but which dissolve selectively at specific pH conditions. These proteins have been used in agriculture for >50 years and are critical to global food security. The majority of previously determined Bt Cry protein structures lack the extende

Conceptualising public authority as continually performed, this paper traces the interplay between modes of legitimation, state capacity and scalar politics in governing the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite attempts to unify COVID responses nationally, governance practices differed across India’s cities: Ahmedabad (Gujarat) heightened policing, Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala) engaged its decentralised gover

PURPOSE:Among available tumour necrosis factor inhibitors (TNF-inhibitors) only etanercept is approved for treatment of children with polyarticular course juvenile arthritis. Nevertheless also infliximab and adalimumab are used in selected cases, especially in patients having failed on etanercept.The objective was to evaluate adherence to therapy (a combined measure of efficacy and side effects as

As artistic research grows into an established mode of academic inquiry, it has become possible to distinguish a ruling metaparadigm which we denote as the practice paradigm. This paradigm is to a large extent based on the argument that artistic research is not equipped to produce standalone theories, but instead offers ways to develop and disseminate knowledge through sensory media and embodiment

Studio recordings of music for English bass horn and string trio from the composers Louis Massonneau, Emma Jane Lloyd, and Ylva Lund Bergner, recorded at the St Cecilia's Hall in Edinburgh on 17 January 2026.

Designing composite photocatalytic systems with nanoscale precision is crucial. While conventional facet-selective photo-deposition successfully utilizes spherical co-catalysts, the directed deposition of pre-synthesized two-dimensional (2D) materials onto specific facets remains extremely challenging. This work demonstrates an electrostatic assembly strategy for the precise deposition of 2D trans

In the last decades, critical advancements in research technology and knowledge on disease mechanisms steered therapeutic approaches for chronic inflammatory diseases towards unprecedented target specificity. For allergic and chronic lung diseases, biologic drugs pioneered this goal, acquiring on the way—through the clinical use of monoclonal antibodies—a deeper understanding of how inflammatory a

The lung may be the organ whose mechanical environment needs to be most finely tuned to achieve optimal function. These needs have to be fulfilled at multiple scales, from proper force transmission between the chest wall and the parenchyma to reduction of surface tension by surfactants inside the alveoli. In addition, a plethora of mechanical loads and forces takes place within the lung, from the

Mobile Stroke Units (MSUs), which are specialised ambulances equipped with brain imaging devices and trained medical personnel, offer the potential for rapid on-site diagnosis and treatment, improving patient outcomes in prehospital stroke care. To fully realise their benefits, it is essential to strategically allocate. However, identifying optimal locations within a region for MSU deployment is t

Begreppet landsbygd används ofta som om dess innebörd vore självklar. I statistik, politik och samhällsdebatt beskrivs landsbygden ofta som motsatsen till staden: gles, avlägsen och präglad av jordbruk och natur. Denna rapport visar dock att landsbygden inte är ett enkelt eller entydigt fenomen. Tvärtom är landsbygd – eller ruralitet – ett komplext, föränderligt och relationellt begrepp som formas

Hur vi tar oss fram i vardagen påverkar inte bara vår egen livskvalitet, utan också klimatet, ekonomin och hur våra samhällen utvecklas. I Skåne, där både storstadsområden och gles landsbygd samsas i samma region, är mobilitet en särskilt viktig fråga. Den här rapporten undersöker vad ett stort antal regionala dokument säger om framtidens transporter med fokus på landsbygden.Ett av de tydligaste r

När vi pratar om mobilitet tänker många på bussar, tåg och bilar. Men på landsbygden handlar mobilitet om något större: tillgång till livet. Dagens sätt att mäta transporter är utformat för städer och fokuserar på kostnad per passagerare och restid. Dessa mått fungerar dåligt i glesbygd, där avstånd inte är ett val utan en geografisk realitet. Människor kör bil ofta för att det helt enkelt saknas

In everyday listening, speech perception occurs under conditions where acoustic information may be incomplete or ambiguous, including background noise and variability in signal quality. Listeners must navigate ambiguous, masked or rapidly unfolding speech signal in order to comprehend spoken language. While prediction has been widely discussed and acknowledged in speech perception, less is known a
