Tri-methyl-indium (TMI) is used as an indium transport molecule to introduce indium atoms to reactive hot gas flows/combustion environments for spectroscopic diagnostics. A seeding system was constructed to allow the addition of an inert TMI laden carrier gas into an air/fuel mixture burning consequently on a burner. The amount of the seeded TMI in the carrier gas can be readily varied by controll
This work proposes and demonstrates an acoustic trapping system where the trapping frequency is automatically determined and can be used to analyse changes in the acoustic trap. Critical for the functionality of this system is the use of a kerfed transducer that removes spurious resonances. This makes it possible to determine the optimal trapping frequency by analysing electrical impedance. It is
To elucidate the molecular requirements for cancer cell internalization of the extracellular cysteine protease inhibitor cystatin C, 12 variants of the protein were produced and used for uptake experiments in MCF-7 cells. Variants with alterations in the cysteine cathepsin binding region ((Δ1-10)-, K5A-, R8G-, (R8G,L9G,V10G)-, (R8G,L9G,V10G, W106G)-, and W106G-cystatin C) were internalized to a ve
Forest carbon cycles play an important role in efforts to understand and mitigate climate change. Large amounts of carbon (C) are stored in deep mineral forest soils, but are often not considered in accounting for global C fluxes because mineral soil C is commonly thought to be relatively stable. We explore C fluxes associated with forest management practices by examining existing data on forest C
This paper introduces the comprehensive web-based IWG5 tool to evaluate energy consumption, renovation costs, and environmental impacts for European residential and office building renovations. Developed to support the SET-Plan Implementation Working Group 5 on Energy Efficiency in Buildings, the tool establishes benchmarks across five European climate zones by integrating dynamic building perform
Cells grow by acquiring external resources and transforming them internally, forming new cells as they divide. Metabolic networks focus on the flow of such resources within the cell as they undergo series of biochemical reactions. How population growth emerges from these complex dynamical networks remains unclear. Modeling the emergence of population growth, a central ecological concept, is thus e
Background: Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) from colorectal cancer (CRC) is a metastatic condition associated with poor prognosis. Tumor dissemination within the peritoneal cavity is influenced by inflammatory responses, immune activation, and tumor-matrix interactions, particularly following surgical trauma. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC
Urbanisation, digitalisation and emerging technologies are reshaping young people’s relationship with the outdoor environment. We investigate how everyday outdoor experiences and spaces support adolescent wellbeing, understood as both feeling good and functioning well. Adolescents, at a pivotal stage in life, are particularly sensitive to environmental factors that influence their wellbeing. We co
Aims: Using a longitudinal approach, the aim of this study was to examine whether baseline engagement in arts and culture was associated with a decline from ‘Good’ to ‘Poor’ health at follow-up. Methods: Self-rated health (SRH) and engagement in six cultural activities among randomly selected Danish adults (⩾15 years) were assessed using data from the Danish Health and Wellbeing Survey in 2019. On
The aim of this work is to redefine the concept of sensorimotor augmentation, extending it from wearable devices to supernumerary robotic upper limbs that are grounded and can be placed out of the physiological peripersonal space of the user. While the wearability of the supernumerary robotic limb (SRL) is not mandatory, the human-robot connection must be maintained through a wearable interface th
Light chain monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (LC-MGUS) is an asymptomatic precursor of multiple myeloma (MM) and related disorders defined by abnormal free light chain (FLC) testing. Recently, revised FLC reference intervals were proposed by the iStopMM study group. We evaluated their performance in a large population-based cohort. MGUS cases were identified from the Danish Lymph
Natural polymers are promising sustainable materials for diverse applications. Xylans, major components of hemicellulose, exhibit origin-dependent substitution patterns that determine their physicochemical properties. Targeted enzymatic modification of these substituents offers a mild and precise approach for tailoring the polymer's characteristics. Glucuronidases (EC 3.2.1.139) and xylan α-1,2-gl
Recently, we and others reported a recurrent t(7;12)(q36;p13) found in myeloid malignancies in children < or =18 months of age and associated with a poor prognosis. Fluorescence in situ hybridization studies mapped the 12p13 breakpoint to the first intron of ETV6 and narrowed down the region of 7q36 involved. By using the sequences made public recently by the Human Genome Project, two candidate ge
A case-control study compared 129 men with earlier partial gastrectomy (operation during the period 1952-1961) with 216 men from a community-based population study. All were born 1910-1915 and the mean age was 72 years. Men with a previous partial gastrectomy had vertebral fractures in 19% compared with 4% (P < 0.01) in the control population. Bone mineral density (BMD) in the right calcaneus meas
This paper derives a generic model for the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless channel. The model incorporates important effects, including i) interdependency of directions-of-arrival and directions-of-departure, ii) large delay and angle dispersion by propagation via far clusters, and iii) rank reduction of the transfer function matrix. We propose a geometry-based model that includes t
