The zooarchaeological record of Iron Age Scania in south Sweden is rich and multi-faceted; within it are many clues to past human-animal relations. This book focusses on the management of cattle, sheep, pig and horse, and Scania, withits environmentally diverse composition, make up the study region for this topic, in which the author tries to give old bones new life by putting them in an archaeolo
The catanionic system didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB)-sodium taurodeoxycholate (STDC)-D2O is characterized by an exceptionally extended L1 region. The comparison of self-diffusion coefficient of the solvent and the DDAB embedded in the micelles provided information about hydration of the aggregates. Moreover, correlating self-diffusion and 14N NMR relaxation measurements new insight could
Conventional social mobility research misses substantial inequalities of opportunity. To capture intergenerational persistence of family social status we need to move beyond parent-child associations in occupation or income. Models that incorporate surname group belonging show that families do not regress to a population mean at the speed implied by parent-child associations. Their mobility is fur
In early breast cancer, a preoperative core-needle biopsy (CNB) is vital to confirm the malignancy of suspected lesions and for assessing the expression of treatment predictive and prognostic biomarkers in the tumor to choose the optimal treatments, emphasizing the importance of obtaining reliable results when biomarker status is assessed on a CNB specimen. This study aims to determine the concord
Internal combustion engine is a developed and established technology whichcontributes largely to the transportation of goods and people. In one hand, theburning of fossil fuels is the main reason for the combustion engines to beconsidered unsustainable while on the other hand, the combustion behaviour ofrenewable fuels is not fully understood yet. This lack of knowledge is morepronounced when it c
This history of wind energy in Denmark describes how top-down policy support and bottom-up initiatives shaped the Danish wind power sector, ultimately facilitating the integration of wind energy in the grid. From the early days of wind power, innovative entrepreneurs tinkered with and improved upon the emergent wind power technologies, but coal and oil remained the prioritized fuels for the almost
Background and purposeDiagnostic information about cell density variations and microscopic tissue anisotropy can be gained from tensor-valued diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). These properties of tissue microstructure have the potential to become novel imaging biomarkers for radiotherapy response. However, tensor-valued diffusion encoding is more demanding than conventional encoding, and
Leadership is as an integral part of organisational practice that relates to individual or collectivistic forms of decision-making and action that include strategic decision-making, such as how issues are communicated or ‘framed’, and how risk is managed. This article applies a systematic scoping review approach to understand the scope of scholarly literature on human rights leadership and assess
Ultrafast electron dynamics in quantum cascade lasers hold enormous potential for the implementation of intense, compact mode-locked terahertz sources, squeezed terahertz light, frequency mixers, and comb-based metrology systems. Yet the important sub-cycle dynamics have been notoriously difficult to access in operational terahertz quantum cascade lasers. Here we show the first field-resolved two-
Global political developments, economic growth and trade liberalization since the 1980s have changed the political and economic landscapes of most regions in the world. First, the collapse of the Soviet Union (and the communist regimes in Central and Eastern Europe) lead to the movement of large segments of populations. For example, the dissolution of the Soviet Union alone left tens of millions o
Machine learning methods are now ubiquitous in physics, but often target objectives that are one or two steps removed from our physics goals. A prominent example of this is the discrimination between signal and background processes, which doesn’t account for the presence of systematic uncertainties – something crucial for the calculation of quantities such as the discovery significance and upper l
Field-resolved two-dimensional spectroscopy reveals the sub-cycle gain dynamics of a free-running terahertz quantum cascade laser and disentangles resonantly enhanced nonlinearities up to eight-wave mixing in a regime where gain replaces absorption.
Bi2O3 is a promising material for solid-oxide fuel cells (SOFC) due to the high ionic conductivity of some phases. The largest value is reached for its δ-phase, but it is normally stable at temperatures too high for SOFC operation, while nanostructured oxide is believed to have more suitable stabilization temperature. However, to manufacture such a material with a controlled chemical composition i
Deficiencies of the early complement components of the classical pathway (CP) are well-documented in association with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or SLE-like syndromes and severe pyogenic infections. Among these, complete C1s deficiency has been reported in nine cases so far. Here, we describe a 34-year-old male patient who presented with severe, recurrent infections since childhood, includ
