The Bi-based superconductors of approximate compositions Bi2Sr2CuO6 and Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8, and the closely related Aurivillius phases, Bi2BaNb2O9 and Bi4Ti3O12, are discussed from a group theoretical point of view. The structural complexities associated with these phases are treated in terms of successive modulation of an appropriately chosen parent structure. The space-group symmetries of the two Aur

Background Additional to a child's genetic inheritance, environmental exposures are associated with schizophrenia. Many are broadly described as childhood adversity; modelling the combined impact of these is complex. We aimed to develop and validate a scale on childhood adversity, independent of genetic and other environmental liabilities, for use in schizophrenia risk analysis models, using data

Aluminium doped Si layers grown either by solid phase epitaxy (SPE) or molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) have been investigated over wide ranges of Al fluxes (J(Al) = 1 x 10(10)-3 x 10(13) cm-2s-1) and growth temperatures (T(s) = 500-900-degrees-C), using RHEED, LEED and AES during growth and cross section TEM of the as-deposited layers. For MBE growth, defect free films could be grown almost in the wh

Aims: The association between cancer and survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) has not been thoroughly investigated. We aimed to address this knowledge gap using national, population-based registries. Methods and results: For this study, 30 163 patients with OHCA (≥18 years) were included from the Swedish Register of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. Through linkage to the National Pat

“Solid solutions” in the system CeO2Y2O3, originally reported to be continuous and homogeneous and subsequently to consist of two discrete regions of homogeneity, have been re-examined by electron diffraction and high resolution electron microscopy. The two regions of homogeneous solid solution are confirmed and shown to be commensurately modulated structures — based on fluorite type at lower (ab

The structural description of any particular member of the CeO2Y2O3 solid solution series reduces to the determination of compositional and displacement eigenvectors associated with two sets of modulation wave-vectors. The primary modulations are associated with oxygen (vacancy) ordering and the second-harmonic modulations with metal atom ordering —both with concomitant structural relaxation. Wit

Background: Multiple cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) diagnostic schemes have been published. Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the association of different CS diagnostic schemes with adverse outcomes. The diagnostic schemes evaluated were 1993, 2006, and 2017 Japanese criteria and the 2014 Heart Rhythm Society criteria. Methods: Data were collected from the Cardiac Sarcoidosis Consortium, an intern

Dual target magnetron sputtering has been used to grow single-crysal MoV superlattice structures (SLS) with modulation wavelengths λ ranging from 0.6 to 17.7 nm on (001) oriented MgO substrates held at temperatures Ts between 600 and 900°C. High resolution cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (HRXTEM) images and comparisions between experimental and calculated X-ray diffraction (XRD)

A class of quasiperiodic superlattice structures, which can be generated by the concurrent inflation rule A→AmB and B→A (where m=positive integer), has been studied both theoretically and experimentally. Given that the ratios between the thicknesses of the two superlattice building blocks, A and B, are chosen to be γ(m)=[m+(m2+4)1/2]/2 (known as the ‘‘precious means’’), then the x-ray- and electro

Importance: Despite the large health burden, reliable data on sepsis epidemiology are lacking; studies using International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD)-coded hospital discharge diagnosis for sepsis identification suffer from limited sensitivity. Also, ICD data do not allow investigation of underlying pathogens and antimicrobial resistance. Objectives: To

This edited collection proposes instituting as a potentially critical methodology in curating, art making and social organizing today, and seeks to discuss forms and structures that take place inside and outside institutions. Rethinking of collective artistic and social practices through and beyond the “waves of institutional critique” this books discusses instituting as a process in continuous cr

Indirect excitons are the focus of intense research due to the opportunity of studying degenerate quantum gases and liquids in an excitonic system. To realize such systems, it is highly advantageous to have as little scattering as possible. A polytype type-II interface is formed between wurtzite and zincblende InP due to the band alignment. Electrons gather on the zincblende and holes on the wurtz

Miniaturization of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with sizes down to a few micrometers has become a hot topic in both academia and industry due to their attractive applications on self-emissive displays for high-definition televisions, augmented/mixed realities and head-up displays, and also on optogenetics, high-speed light communication, etc. The conventional top-down technology uses dry etching t

This chapter focuses on life science companies’ engagement with their university- based entrepreneurship ecosystem. It analyzes multiple case studies with life science companies based around Lund University in Sweden. Our results demonstrate that life science companies engage with their ecosystem through three interconnected engagement logics: network, relations, and governance. We propose a model

Children with cancer experience recurring hospitalizations and isolation during treatment, which affect their school attendance. This study explores experiences of children with cancer, their classmates, and teachers with using the telepresence robot as a learning mediator in the hybrid classroom during treatment periods. 31 children with cancer (aged 7–17 years), 30 teachers, and 118 classmates p

BackgroundA specific eHealth device, a surf tablet, was developed for bridging between advanced in-hospital care and children’s homes. Since little is known about determinators for parental eHealth usage, the study’s aim was to explore if parents’ usage of the device was associated with their eHealth literacy, or their satisfaction with their child’s healthcare or with the specific surf tablet.Met
