A refined stratigraphic framework for the Tremadocian–Floian stage boundary (Lower Ordovician) in the North China Block

A high-resolution integrated bio-chemostratigraphic framework is established for the upper Tremadocian to lower Floian (Lower Ordovician) succession of the North China Block, based on new conodont and carbon isotope (δ13Ccarb) data from the Jiguanshan and Wudingshan sections in Liaoning Province, northeastern China. Thirty conodont species of 19 genera were identified from the two sections. Based

Large-eddy simulation of hydrogen ignition and NO x [jls-end-space/] formation in diesel-pilot dual-fuel combustion

This study examines the dynamics of diesel/hydrogen dual-fuel combustion in a constant-volume vessel under compression ignition engine conditions, where a small pilot n-heptane (a surrogate of diesel) injection precedes a long-duration hydrogen main injection containing 93.6% of the energy share. We investigate how pilot n-heptane flame and hydrogen injection affect emissions and combustion by sys

Inflammatory bowel disease–induced inflammation augments clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential through Ref-1

Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is characterized by age-related somatic mutations in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSC/Ps) and is correlated with an increased risk of myeloid malignancies, elevated inflammatory pathways in circulating myeloid cells, higher all-cause mortality, chronic kidney disease, and cardiovascular disease. The pathophysiology of inflammatory

Insect navigation : Lunar lunacy tamed by an ant

Unlike the sun, the moon is a notoriously fickle visual cue for navigation. However, a nocturnal ant has now been found to use the moon for navigation during night-long foraging trips, compensating for its movement across the sky to maintain navigational accuracy.

Microorganisms and functional genes in an aerobic-anoxic integrated gold mine wastewater treatment system

Biological treatment of cyanide-contaminated wastewater is mediated by microbial consortia in which different organisms perform distinct, functionally specialized roles. This study investigated microbial communities involved in gold mine wastewater treatment with integrated aerobic-anoxic reactors seeded with consortia from an alkaline soda lake, Lake Chitu. Whole-genome sequencing of isolates (WG

Pulmonary findings in COVID-19 : radiology correlates with the histopathological post-mortem findings in patients with fatal acute disease

Background: Progressive respiratory failure is the leading cause of death in patients with severe COVID-19. Histopathological findings in acute severe COVID-19 are foremost based on post-mortem findings. On computed tomography (CT), acute COVID-19 pneumonia is characterized by ground-glass opacities (GGOs) and, later, by a crazy-paving pattern (CPP) and consolidations. Purpose: To investigate if C

Verksamhetsägda fastigheter och rådighet för energieffektivisering - en fallstudie av Lunds kommun

Detta examensarbete syftar till att identifiera företag som äger sina verksamhetsfastigheter samt analysera deras förutsättningar att genomföra energieffektiviserande åtgärder. Studien baseras på kommunal registerdata, geografisk analys via Geoportalen samt kvalitativ verifiering genom platsbesök och semistrukturerade företagsintervjuer. Resultaten indikerar att ägarstruktur har stor betydelseEnergy efficiency initiatives targeting businesses often face challenges related to identifying actors with the authority to implement measures. This study examines how property ownership influences companies’ ability to undertake energy efficiency actions. The study was conducted as a case study in Lund municipality and applied a two-step methodology consisting of registry-based mapping and qual

Exploring fatigue in mild Parkinson's disease across symptoms - A cross-sectional study with implications for walking ability

OBJECTIVE: Fatigue is a common and debilitating non-motor symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD), arising from a complex interplaying underlying factors. While mental health and sleep are well-established evidence regarding motor symptoms, balance, gait, and cognition remain inconsistent. By explicitly examining multiple symptom domains within the same cohort, we aimed to identify which factors are m

Evolution induced state shifts in a long-term microbial community experiment

Biological communities are complex, dynamic systems that underpin ecosystem functionality, yet their long-term dynamics and predictability remain poorly understood. Understanding how Darwinian evolution shapes these systems through eco-evolutionary feedback is a central challenge in ecology and evolution. Experimental studies using simplified microbial assemblages have yielded important insights i

Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement - A Mechanical Performance Study Across Temperatures

Returasfalt (RAP) är ett av världens mest återvunna material och användningen i asfaltsblandningar har ökat betydligt till följd av miljömässiga och ekonomiska fördelar. Inblandning av RAP kan dock påverka beläggningens mekaniska egenskaper, särskilt dess motstånd mot sprickbildning och permanenta deformationer. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur olika halter av RAP påverkar asfaltsblandningaReclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is one of the most widely recycled materials in the world and its use in asphalt mixtures has increased significantly due to environmental and economic benefits. However, incorporation of RAP may alter mechanical performance of pavement, particularly its resistance to cracking and rutting. This study aims to investigate the influence of RAP content on mechanical be

Delaktighet och personlig återhämtning för personer med komplexa psykiatriska behov med vård och stöd enligt Flexible Assertive Community Treatment

Bakgrund/Syfte: Inom allmänpsykiatrin i Sverige behandlas personer med komplexa psykiatriska behov. Det innebär bland annat begränsningar i att delta i vardagens aktiviteter och samhällslivet. Att få stöd med detta kan möjliggöra ett liv värt att leva trots psykisk ohälsa, i enlighet med arbetsterapi. Flexible Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) är en återhämtningsinriktad integrerad vård- och st

Scaling Risk: Evaluating the Impact of Spatial Resolution on RTM Predictive Performance in 32 Swedish Urban Areas

This study systematically examines how spatial resolution, operationalized as grid cell size, influences the predictive performance of Risk Terrain Modeling (RTM) across 32 Swedish urban areas with varying demographic and criminogenic characteristics. Using performance metrics such as the Predictive Accuracy Index (PAI), Predictive Efficiency Index (PEI*), and the F1-score, the analysis explores h

An Unclean Place

Dawn and her best friend Amber are students at Stillwater School, an experimental academy that’s the laughingstock of Atlanta. When Ms. Ella arrives to teach the eighth grade, she shakes up the school with her radical ideas and violent discipline, building an enthusiastic following and even winning the loyalty of rebellious Dawn.The imprint she leaves on her students is both profound and damaging,

The Quelling

Back cover:Addie and Dorian have always been together: the two sisters have spent most of their lives in a locked ward after being diagnosed with a rare psychiatric condition and accused of murder as children. Now on the cusp of adulthood, Addie plans to start a new family to replace the one she lost, while Dorian struggles with her own violent tendencies to help raise her sister's child. But Dr.
