Wide-angle neutron scattering experiments combined with empirical potential structural refinement modeling have been used to study the detailed structure of decyltrimethylammonium bromide micelles in the presence of acid solutions of HCl or HBr. These experiments demonstrate considerable variation in micelle structure and water structuring between micelles in the two acid solutions and in comparis
Bertrand Russell’s speech “Why I Am Not a Christian” (1927) triggered many theologians to defend Christian beliefs. Aside from his rational criticism of the so-called “proofs” of God’s existence, it is his humorous irony as a rhetorical weapon that made many abandon their faith in Christianity and become atheists or at least agnostics. In this article I examine two British theologians’ unsuccessfu
This article concerns legal representatives’ negotiations around the principle of children’s best interests and children’s right to participation according to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, in cases of families applying for asylum in Sweden. Using material from nine interviews with children’s advocates, we analyse their strategies for obtaining narratives from children without putting
Experience of abuse as a life event is common among men in a psychiatric care context. Systematically charting life events and abuse plays a central role within psychiatric and mental health nursing and could improve the understanding of the patient’s life situation. The aim of the study was to explore the life course of male psychiatric patients who had experienced domestic abuse as victims and a
The use and significance of timber structures are on the rise, especially thanks to crosslaminated timber (CLT). This engineered wood product is manufactured by stacking multiple layers of wood lamellae, each oriented perpendicularly to the one below it, and then bonding them with adhesives to form a floor or wall panel. Timber, as a building material, presents potential environmental benefits ove
This chapter reviews methanol's properties as a fuel for marine use in general terms and then specifically for combustion engines and fuel cells. It discusses the different engine technologies being either investigated or demonstrated that allow methanol to be used in marine engines. Their potential in terms of power density, emissions, and efficiency, as well as their maturity are reviewed. The e
