Syntheses and fluxional processes of diphenyl(2-thienyl)phosphane derivatives of triosmium clusters

Thermal treatment of [OS3(CO)(12)] with diphenyl(2-thienyl)phosphane, Ph(2)p(C4H3S), results in the formation of [Os-3(CO)(12-x){Ph2P(C4H3S)}(x)] (x = 1-3, 1-3), but no C-H bond activation was observed. Reaction of [H2Os3(CO)(10)] with diphenyl(2-thienyl)phosphane at ambient temperature affords [HOs3(mu-H)(CO)(10){Ph2P(C4H3S}] (4), but when the same reaction is repeated at elevated temperatures, t

Influence of laser pulse duration on relativistic channels

A high-power (10 TW) laser is employed to generate relativistic channels in an underdense plasma. The lengths of the channels are measured by imaging the Thomson-scattered light, and the gas densities are determined through the forward Raman scattered light. The laser-pulse parameters are varied and their impact on the channel formation is studied. It is found that increasing the laser pulse durat

Modelling feedbacks between human and natural processes in the land system

The unprecedented use of Earth's resources by humans, in combination with increasing natural variability in natural processes over the past century, is affecting the evolution of the Earth system. To better understand natural processes and their potential future trajectories requires improved integration with and quantification of human processes. Similarly, to mitigate risk and facilitate socio-e

POPULATION ANALYSIS OF PROTECTION BY HLA‐DR AND DQ GENES FROM INSULIN‐DEPENDENT DIABETES MELLITUS IN SWEDISH CHILDREN WITH INSULIN‐DEPENDENT DIABETES AND CONTROLS

A negative association between insulin‐dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and HLA‐DR, DQA1 or DQB1 was found in a large population‐based investigation of childhood‐onset patients (more than 420 patients) and controls (more than 340 controls) from Sweden. The relative risk was decreased for several haplotypes that were negatively associated with IDDM: DR15‐DQA1*0102‐DQB1*0602, DR7‐DQA1*0201‐DQB1*03

Optimization study on periodic counter-current chromatography integrated in a monoclonal antibody downstream process

An optimization study of an integrated periodic counter-current chromatography (PCC) process in a monoclonal antibody (mAb) downstream process at lab scale, is presented in this paper. The optimization was based on a mechanistic model of the breakthrough curve in the protein-A capture step. Productivity and resin utilization were the objective functions, while yield during the loading of the captu

Technical and conceptual considerations for using animated stimuli in studies of animal behavior

Rapid technical advances in the field of computer animation (CA) and virtual reality (VR) have opened new avenues in animal behavior research. Animated stimuli are powerful tools as they offer standardization, repeatability, and complete control over the stimulus presented, thereby "reducing" and "replacing" the animals used, and "refining" the experimental design in line with the 3Rs. However, ap

Placing barriers to industrial energy efficiency in a social context : A discussion of lifestyle categorisation

This paper compares how analyses of energy use and efficiency have developed in households and industrial small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). I focus on earlier studies that use lifestyle categories in examining household energy use, comparing them with studies of mainly Swedish industrial SMEs using the barrier concept in understanding energy efficiency. The main question is how the use o

“More Probable than Unlikely” - : A Tale of the Blood-Brain Barrier and Mobile Communication. Dedicated to Leif G, Salford on his 80th birth day 2021-12-07.

De första levande organismerna uppstod på jorden när den funnits i 1,5 miljarder år. Under de följande tre miljarder åren bildades livet på jorden, och existerade i harmoni, med gravitation, kosmisk-strålning, elektriska och magnetiska fält och dess cyklisk-hemlighetsfulla variationer medan exponeringen från den naturlga mikrovågstrålningen var endast i storleksordningen 210-15 W/kg. Det var i deOur team of the clinical researchers in Lund, Sweden, found that electromagnetic radiation, such as those used in mobile communications, even at shallow power values, cause users’ blood albumin to leak through the blood-brain barrier “BBB” into the brain tissue. The BBB is supposed to protect the brain against unwanted and toxic molecules potentially present in the blood, to transfer to the brain

Degenerate primers for PCR amplification and sequencing of the avian influenza A neuraminidase gene

This study describes the design of degenerate primers and their use for synthesis of full-length avian influenza A neuramindase (NA). Each reaction was performed using either two forward primers and one reverse primer, or one forward primer and one reverse primer. Both primer combinations had comparable amplification efficiencies for all NA subtypes (1-9). A total of 115 virus strains, including b

Fast and easy coating for capillary electrophoresis based on a physically adsorbed cationic copolymer

In this work, a new copolymer synthesized in our laboratory is used as physically adsorbed coating for capillary electrophoresis (CE). The copolymer is composed of ethylpyrrolidine methacrylate (EPyM) and methylmethacrylate (MMA). The capillary coating is easily obtained by simply flushing into the tubing an EPyM/MMA solution. It is demonstrated that the composition of the EPyM/MMA copolymer toget

Management of acute ischaemic stroke in patients with dementia

An estimated 10% of stroke patients have an underlying dementia. As a consequence, health professionals often face the challenge of managing patients with dementia presenting with an acute stroke. Patients with dementia are less likely to receive thrombolysis (0.56-10% vs. 1-16% thrombolysis rates in the general population), be admitted to a stroke unit or receive some types of care. Anticoagulati

Food laws and labelling as a contributor to food waste

Food law, and food labelling, establishes the rights of consumers to safe food and to accurate and honest information. Although food safety is at the core of food information, the broad principle of the food law is about telling the truth about products so that the consumer can make a choice about what they choose to eat. However, food law and labelling can also become a trade barrier and thus con

Strangers on the board : The impact of board internationalization on earnings management of Nordic firms

The internationalization of firms has led to boards becoming more international as well. In this study, we investigate the consequences of board internationalization. In particular, by drawing on research on language and board dynamics, we identify theory-based reasons why board internationalization could increase, or decrease, earnings management practices. We use agency theory, stressing how boa
