Strength, ductility, and failure properties of metals are tailored by plastic deformation routes. Predicting these properties requires modeling of the structural dynamics and stress evolution taking place on several length scales. Progress has been hampered by a lack of representative 3D experimental data at industrially relevant degrees of deformation. We present an X-ray imaging based 3D mapping
Oxygen-enriched air combustion holds promise as an effective method for harnessing blast furnace gas (BFG) in the steel industry. In this study, the laminar burning velocities of blast furnace gas were measured using the heat flux method under elevated oxygen mole fractions (0.3–1.0) and temperatures (303–353 K). Subsequently, the measured data were used to evaluate the GRI-Mech 3.0, Li, FFCM-1, a
Vagococcus lutrae belongs to the Vagococcus genus; it is possible to isolate vagococci from marine hosts, contaminated food and soil. To our knowledge, this is the first case of bloodstream infection with V. lutrae and only the second reported human infection in the literature. As in the first reported case of clinical infection with V. lutrae, this woman had several wounds. The clinical investiga
Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) plays a crucial role in the development of primary graft dysfunction (PGD) following lung transplantation. A promising novel approach to optimize donor organs before transplantation and reduce the incidence of PGD is mitochondrial transplantation. In this study, we explored the delivery of isolated mitochondria in 4 hour ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) before transp
In Denmark, the incidence of carbapenemase-producing organisms (CPO) is increasing, and a coordinated national strategy is needed. We describe a case story of a 40-year-old woman transferred to a Danish hospital with severe complications after cosmetic surgery in the Middle East. She had an intra-abdominal infection with three different CPO, one of them co-resistant to colistin, one of the few rem
How does technological interdependence affect innovation? We address this question by examining the influence of neighbors’ innovativeness and the structure of the innovators’ network on a sector's capacity to develop new technologies. We study these two dimensions of technological interdependence by applying novel methods of text mining and network analysis to the documents of 6.5 million patents
Background: Despite known benefits of physical activity in reducing breast cancer risk, its impact on mammographic characteristics remain unclear and understudied. This study aimed to investigate associations between pre-diagnostic physical activity and mammographic features at breast cancer diagnosis, specifically mammographic breast density (MBD) and mammographic tumor appearance (MA), as well a
Background and purpose: Galectin-3 (Gal-3) is a pro-fibrotic β-galactoside binding lectin highly expressed in fibrotic liver and implicated in hepatic fibrosis. GB1107 is a novel orally active Gal-3 small molecule inhibitor that has high affinity for Gal-3 >1000-fold selectively over other galectins. The aim of this study was to characterise GB1107 and galectin-3 in vitro and in vivo in the contex
