Wood used in outdoor construction undergoes continuous cycles of wetting and drying, resulting in fluctuating moisture contents that directly influence its long-term durability. Excess moisture above a critical threshold leads to deterioration by fungal decay, limiting the service life of the structure. Service life models thus rely on accurate predictive models of moisture behaviour. However, cap
I början av juni presenterade Straffreformutredningen En straffreform. I betänkandet föreslås en rad straffskärpande åtgärder. Påföljdssystemet ska bygga på ett val mellan villkorligt och ovillkorligt fängelse, närmare 50 straffskalor ska skärpas, och systemet för att bestämma straff ska ses över. Syftet är att fler och längre fängelsestraff ska dömas ut. Straffreformutredningen uppskattar att för
Cycle injection schemes are often encountered in underground hydrogen storage (UHS), and the involved hysteresis directly impacts storage and extraction efficiency. The geological formation generally has hierarchical features containing multiple-level pore sizes. Nevertheless, we still lack a comprehensive understanding of this phenomenon and the pore-scale mechanism behind the geometry affects sa
In this paper a comparison between static and dynamic formulations of the Jiles-Atherton (JA) hysteresis model is presented. An assessment on the accuracy of core loss prediction and hysteretic loops reproduction of experimentally characterized on stator cores is performed. The novelty in this work is found in the optimized JA parameter datasets describing all the hysteresis loop measured for each
BACKGROUND: In this study, we combine proteomics with functional parameters and imaging to examine potential biomarkers that may identify patients at risk of developing persistent lung sequelae following coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).METHODS: We performed multiplex profiling of serum and collected clinical data from intensive care unit (ICU)-treated patients with COVID-19 (n=43) at 4 and 10
Background: Palliative care (PC) can alleviate suffering and improve quality of life. Yet, disparities persist, particularly in Honduras. Training efforts in PC for non-health caregivers have proven to reduce burnout and stress while enhancing the quality of life for both caregivers and patients. Purpose: This study aimed to explore the feasibility of a PC training program for non-health caregiver
Acute dyspnoea is one of the most common presenting symptoms in the emergency department (ED) and has a variety of underlying causes. Calprotectin is a neutrophil activation marker associated with adverse outcomes in acute cardiovascular and infectious diseases. However, the usefulness of calprotectin in the risk stratification of patients with acute dyspnoea is unknown. The objectives were to, in
