The PETRA IV project aims at upgrading the present synchrotron radiation source PETRA III at DESY into an ultralow-emittance source. Being diffraction limited up to X-rays of about 10 keV, PETRA IV will be ideal for three-dimensional X-ray microscopy of biological, chemical and physical processes under realistic conditions at length scales from atomic dimensions to millimetres and time scales down

Purpose of Review: This review synthesizes current knowledge of the aggregation pheromones of Ips bark beetles specialized on coniferous hosts. The pest potential of these insects is increasing globally due to climate change and anthropogenic disturbances. The high aggressiveness of some species results from coordinated mass attacks on trees, mediated by male-produced aggregation pheromones. Bring

Perovskite nanocrystal superlattices (NC SLs) are the nearest real-world approximations to monodisperse NC ensembles. NC SLs thus represent ideal model systems for evaluating the optical and structural stability of CsPb(I1−xBrx)3 NCs at a macroscopic level. Here, photoinduced changes to CsPb(I1−xBrx)3 NC SLs (0 < x < 1.0) are probed via in situ photoluminescence, X-ray diffraction, and electron mi

High-quality simulated data is crucial for particle physics discoveries. Therefore, parton shower algorithms are a major building block of the data synthesis in event generator programs. However, the core algorithms used to generate parton showers have barely changed since the 1980s. With quantum computers’ rapid and continuous development, dedicated algorithms are required to exploit the potentia

Computer generated imagery is used in a wide range of disciplines, each with different requirements. As an example, real-time applications such as computer games have completely different restrictions and demands than offline rendering of feature films. A game has to render quickly using only limited resources, yet present visually adequate images. Film and visual effects rendering may not have st

Introduction: Synaptic dysfunction and degeneration are central events in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathophysiology that are thought to occur early in disease progression. Synaptic pathology may be studied by examining protein biomarkers specific for different synaptic elements. We recently showed that the dendritic protein neurogranin (Ng), including the endogenous Ng peptide 48 to 76 (Ng(48-76)),

Desulfurization at medium temperature was investigated with focus on impacts of temperature and CO2 concentration under Oxyfuel firing and Regenerative Calcium Cycle (RCC) conditions. Investigation started with thermodynamic analysis and ThermoGravimetric Analysis (TGA). Tests were then conducted by a bench-scale fixed-bed type reactor, using a synthetic gas mixture. Various parameters were evalua

Epidemiological evidence links severe or repeated traumatic brain injury (TBI) to the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Accumulation of amyloid precursor protein (APP) occurs with high frequency after TBI, particularly in injured axons, and APP may be cleaved to amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides playing key pathophysiological roles in AD. We used cerebral microdialysis (MD) to test the hypothesis tha

The fluorescence emission following inner-shell excitation of molecules has been analyzed in the wavelength region 300 nm≤λfluo≤1000 nm. The main contributions to the experimental spectrum are due to transitions of the parent molecules ionized in the outer valence shells as well as to the radiative decay of excited photofragments, mainly neutral and singly charged atoms. As an example, the dispers

Two imaging techniques are used to investigate the interaction between developed combustion from earlier injections and partially oxidized fuel (POF) ofa subsequent injection. The latter is visualized by using planar laser induced fluorescence (PLIF) of formaldehyde and poly-cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. High speed imaging captures the natural luminescence (NL) of the prevailing combustion. Three

Popular Abstract in English Blood, a deep red fluid, circulates in vessels throughout our body. It consists of two main components, a liquid part and a cell part. The liquid portion, which is also called ‘plasma’, takes a main function in transporting water, nutrients, and immune substances. The cell components, which are suspended in the plasma, consist of three main cell types including platelet

The environmental impacts of landfills are associated mainly with the emission of leachate and biogas. Sanitary landfilling aims to stabilize the landfill in a efficient and controlled way, so that the environmental impacts are minimized. When a sanitary landfill has attained its final storage quality, it can be integrated into the environment. Both the presence and the flux of water play key role

In 2021, combined heat and power plants accounted for 9 % of the electricity production in Sweden. However, Swedish combined heat and power plants plan their production based on the demands of the district heating network. In instances of unforeseen disruptions affecting production, priority is given to meeting heating demand. Consequently, electricity generation and the management of imbalances t

Policy instruments are used to support the introduction and diffusion of renewable energy technologies as the cost of renewable energy is generally higher than fossil-based energy. The commonly used policy instruments for supporting renewable electricity are quota-based system and the price based feed-in system. While quota based systems specify minimum targets for renewable electricity procuremen

Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) is a condition arising when dietary energy intake is insufficient to meet the combined demands of training and normal physiological functions. RED-S negatively impacts bone health, and increases the risk of stress fractures. Yet, its effects on bone matrix organization and overall bone quality is not well understood. Collagen and the osteocyte cells'

The IPCC 5th Assessment Report is coming to a close. We have gathered some of the best climate researchers to take stock of the research needs after the assessment report and explore new areas in political economy and behavioural economics. What is the outlook for the diffusion of new technology and can we expect a global climate treaty anytime soon? With a mixture of perspectives from developing
