We examined oxygen three-isotope ratios of 48 extraterrestrial chromite (EC) grains extracted from mid-Ordovician sediments from two different locations in Sweden, and one location in south-central China. The ages of the sediments (similar to 470 Ma) coincide with the breakup event of the L chondrite parent asteroid. Elemental compositions of the chromite grains are generally consistent with their

Thanks to an intensive technological effort in the framework of the EUFELE collaboration, the European FEL at ELETTRA was able to break the previous record for the shortest wavelength of an FEL oscillator. Novel solutions were adopted for multilayer mirrors to allow FEL operation in the wavelength region between 160 and 190 nm, which is one of the main targets of the project. The characteristics o

This article presents a bistatic reflection-based imaging technique for electromagnetic testing of conductor-backed composite panels, which is based on an inverse formulation of the numerical problem at hand, and technically extends a previously demonstrated transmission-based system. The technique exploits the a priori assumption of pixel-based sparsity and retrieves the final image using data fr

Systemisk skleros, SSc, är en ovanlig reumatologisk sjukdom där immunologisk aktivering leder till kärlskada och fibros i hud och inre organ. Hälften av patienterna avlider av komplikationer från hjärta eller lungor, ofta fibros i lungor eller pulmonell arteriell hypertension (PAH). Projekten rör kartläggning av tidiga mekanismer kring patogenes och biomarkörer för tidig diagnos och monitorering aSystemic sclerosis, SSc, is a rare rheumatologic disease where immun activation leads to vascular damage and fibrosis in skin and internal organs. Half of the population will die from complications from heart or lungs, mostly lung fibrosis or pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Our projects aim at early pathogenic mechanisms and biomarkers for early diagnosis and to monitor the disease and the

Power supply is a social necessity, and will so continue to be in the near future. Therefore, safe and steady deliverance of power supply is a fundamental duty of the societies and the preparedness of the vulnerability of the infrastructures is highly prioritized. The power supply comprises every component needed for transmission of electrical power from generation to consumption, power transform

Targeting the androgen receptor (AR) pathway prolongs survival in patients with prostate cancer, but resistance rapidly develops. Understanding this resistance is confounded by a lack of noninvasive means to assess AR activity in vivo. We report intracellular accumulation of a secreted antigen-targeted antibody (SATA) that can be used to characterize disease, guide therapy, and monitor response. A

Biodiversity loss and the climate crisis are closely linked. A warmer climate impacts wildlife, entire ecosystems and people, while biodiversity loss exacerbates the effects of climate change. Innovative research can limit the negative effects of these intertwined crises. Researchers at Lund University are investigating the complex links between biodiversity loss and climate change. They are also

This article presents a new method for localization of multiple concurrent speech sources that relies on simultaneous blind signal separation and direction of arrival (DOA) estimation, as well as a method to solve the intersection point selection problem that arises when locating multiple speech sources using multiple sensor arrays. The proposed method is based on a low complexity non-parametric b

Commercial potato protein concentrate (PPC) was investigated as a source of thermoformed bio-based plastic film. Pressing temperatures of 100 to 190 degrees C with 15 to 25% glycerol were used to form PPC films. The shape of the tensile stress-strain curve in thermoformed PPC was controlled by glycerol level and was independent of processing temperature. Tensile testing revealed that elongation at

In the Nordic Reference Interval Project 2000 (NORIP) serum, Li-heparin plasma and EDTA buffy coat were collected at 102 laboratories in 5 Nordic countries from healthy individuals aged 18 years or more and evenly distributed for laboratory, gender and age. Multiple aliquots of these samples from each of about 3000 persons are now stored at the Nordic Reference Interval Project Bio-bank and Databa

We demonstrate for the first time that seeded harmonic generation on electron storage rings can produce coherent optical pulses in the vacuum ultraviolet spectral range. The experiment is performed at Elettra, where coherent pulses are generated at 132nm, with a duration of about 100fs. The light source has a repetition rate of 1kHz and adjustable polarization; it is very bright, with a peak power

Pre-and postoperative photos to assess results are widely used in plastic and reconstructive surgery, for instance, in patients with cleft lip and palate (CL/P). Evaluations are often performed by assessment panels by viewing the photos. However, these are prone to be subjective. Measurements of soft tissues in photos could be an alternative method but have not been widely used so far. Some patien

Sepsis (när en infektion blir livshotande) är en bortglömd folksjukdom som drabbar lika många som cancer och har högre dödlighet än hjärtinfarkt och är mycket dyrt. Sepsis är ett komplext syndrom och borde precis som cancer inte klassas som en sjukdom utan många olika beroende på vilken bakterie som orsakar infektionen, vilket organ infektionen först drabbar och kanske viktigast av allt i vilket iSepsis (when an infection becomes life threatening) is a neglected public health problem affecting as many as cancer, with a higher mortality rate than myocardial infarction and is very expensive. Sepsis is a complex syndrome, akin cancer and should not be classified as a single disease, rather many different depending on 1. the bacteria causing the infection, 2. Organ focus of the infection, and
