The neutron-deficient nucleus 123La was studied via the 92Mo(40Ca,2ap) reaction at a beam energy of 184 MeV. Previously known bands were extended to a much higher spin, and in two cases the structures are now observed near 40ℏ. In addition, three new sequences were identified and linked into previously known bands. The lowest (π,α)=(+,-1/2) structure displays characteristics similar to those of an
Two new membrane concepts have been piloted have been piloted in in recent years at Lund University in Sweden – namely (1) direct membrane filtration (DMF) and (2) water harvesting. Both concepts use submerged membranes as the established membrane bioreactor (MBR) concept but they exclude a biological treatment. This presentation will showcase the latest developments and experiences with these two
The reaction 58Ni(32S, α2p) at E lab= 135 MeV was used to populate high-spin states in 84Zr. The complete GAMMASPHERE and MICROBALL arrays were used to obtain clean γ- γ- γ line shapes to be analyzed by the Doppler shift attenuation method and to determine 27 lifetimes in the ground-state band and in two excited bands. Side-feeding times were also measured by comparing the line shapes gated with t

The success of membrane technology in the food industry is directly linked to the success of membranes in protein extraction. The first successful integration of membrane technology in the food industry was the extraction of proteins from whey – a byproduct of cheese production – which, due to its low solids content and high biological oxygen demand, posed a significant disposal challenge for the
An interleaved pseudocinematographic FLASH (fast low-angle shot) sequence with additional pulsed gradients for flow encoding was used to quantify cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow velocities and CSF production. Flow-dependent phase information was obtained by subtracting two differently encoded phase images. The phase information in the resultant image was converted to flow velocity with a calibratio
Submerged membrane modules either in flat or hollow fibre configuration have established themselves as a standard module for membrane bioreactors (MBRs) in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment. In recent years two new concepts using submerged membrane modules have been developed for (1) direct membrane filtration (DMF) for municipal wastewater treatment and for (2) storm and rain harvesti
This work presents the development and evaluation of a Direct Membrane Filtration (DMF) concept for municipal wastewater treatment, integrating microsieving, microfiltration/ultrafiltration (MF/UF), and downstream polishing with activated carbon. DMF enables the efficient separation of particulate organic matter directly from raw wastewater, producing a retentate suitable for enhanced biogas produ
Applying evidence builds on the conclusions of the assessment of the evidence. The aim of the chapter is to describe a range of ways of summarising and visualising different types of evidence so that it can be used in various decision-making processes. Evidence can also be presented as part of evidence capture sheets, argument maps, mind maps, theories of change, Bayesian networks or evidence rest
The purpose of this research is to examine the roles of benefits and awareness of AI, as well as the usefulness and knowledge of smart apps in shaping tourist public transport use in South Korea, considering senior and younger population segments and gender. This research utilizes a mixed-methods approach (partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), multigroup analysis (MGA), fuz
STUDY QUESTION: Has cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) improved over time and which factors are associated with such an improvement? SUMMARY ANSWER: During an 11-year period, 2007-2017, CLBR per oocyte aspiration increased significantly, from 27.0% to 36.3%, in parallel with an increase in blastocyst transfer and cryopreservation by vitrification. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: While it has been shown that
Direct Membrane Filtration (DMF) is a relatively new concept for the treatment of municipal wastewater. While the widely established membrane bioreactor (MBR) concept combines biological treatment with membrane separation, the DMF concept operates abiotic. The DMF concept is particularly suited treating municipal wastewater having only BOD and total phosphorous (Ptot) discharge demands. Furthermor
The pulp and paper industry is one of the key industrial sectors worldwide and is a cornerstone for conversion 10 toward a future bio-economy in particular as lignocellulosic bio-refineries. In this presentation, the potential of pressure-driven membrane processes – microfiltration, ultrafiltration and nanofiltration – in this conversion will be highlighted in three application studies related to
Introduction: Raspberries are cerebral microvascular formations of unknown origin, defined as three or more transversally sectioned vascular lumina surrounded by a common perivascular space. We have previously demonstrated an increased raspberry density in the cortex of patients with vascular dementia and cerebral atherosclerosis, while studies by other authors on overlapping and synonymously defi
The aim of this study was to analyse sick leave in generalized pustular psoriasis, the most severe form of pustular psoriasis. Prolonged sick leave of >14 days was analysed for 502 patients with generalized pustular psoriasis compared with controls with psoriasis vulgaris and matched controls from the general population. Using data from the Swedish National Patient Register, and the Longitudinal i
Purpose: The increased normal tissue tolerance for FLASH radiotherapy (FLASH-RT), as compared to conventional radiotherapy, was first observed in ultra-high dose rate electron beams. Initial clinical trials in companion animals have revealed a high risk of developing osteoradionecrosis following high-dose single-fraction electron FLASH-RT, which may be related to inhomogeneities in the dose distri
Many organisms fail to adjust their phenology sufficiently to climate change. Studies have concentrated on adaptive responses within localities, but little is known about how latitudinal dispersal enhances evolutionary potential. Rapid adaptation is expected if dispersers from lower latitudes have improved synchrony to northern conditions, thereby gain fitness and introduce genotypes on which sele
C-reactive protein (CRP)/Albumin ratio (CAR) seems to mirror disease severity and prognosis in several acute disorders particularly in elderly patients, which we aimed to study. As method we use a prospective study design; the Prospective Investigation of the Vasculature in Uppsala Seniors (PIVUS; n = 912, women 50%; mean age 70 years, baseline 2001 and 2004, median follow-up 15.0 years, end of fo
