The absorption of soft x-ray radiation induces neutral and ionic core hole states in molecules. The relaxation of such states typically leads to a multi-step process, at the end of which photons in the visible and UV range can also be emitted from fragments. In this paper, we present results on Balmer and Lyman emission that originates from excited H atoms produced at the K-edge of the water, ammo

The purpose of the current paper is to outline how gestures can contribute to the study of some key issues in language development. Specifically, we (1) briefly summarise what is already known about gesture in the domains of first and second language development, and development or changes over the life span more generally; (2) highlight theoretical and empirical issues in these domains where gest

The aim of the dissertation Three texts on the aesthetics of dislocation , is to show and discuss some aspects of aesthetics with regard to the concepts of deviation, dislocation and incompleteness. The dissertation consists of three different parts, which can be read separately and without any preferable sequence. One of the three texts, (-) The designating gesture , deals with questions concern

Nuklearmedicinsk bildtagning med hjälp av radiofarmaka är ett viktigt verktyg för att studera biologiska processer och humansjukdomar. Bildtagning sker ofta med en detektor i kombination med en kollimator. En typ av kollimering är pinnhålskollimering, där ett pinnhål i ett opakt material placeras mellan en källa och en detektor. Pinnhålet fyller samma funktion som en optisk lins då emitterade fotoThe focus of this dissertation is the use of pinhole collimation in Nuclear Medicine. A pinhole is a single aperture in an opaque material that is placed between the detector and source of interest, and photons must pass through the hole to reach the detector. The choices of pinhole parameters, e.g. the pinhole material and size of the opening, are closely linked to the performance of the detector

The synthesis and characterization of three ligands and their respective heterobinuclear FeIIIZnII complexes were carried out, with the goal of mimicking the active site of purple acid phosphatases (PAPs). The ligand 2-hydroxy-3-(((2-hydroxy-5-methyl-3-(((2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl)(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)methyl)benzyl)(pyridin-2ylmethyl)amino)methyl)-5-methylbenzaldehyde (H2L2) was synthesized and i

We study spectral properties of the Neumann–Poincaré operator on planar domains with corners with particular emphasis on existence of continuous spectrum and pure point spectrum. We show that the rate of resonance at continuous spectrum is different from that at eigenvalues, and then derive a method to distinguish continuous spectrum from eigenvalues. We perform computational experiments using the

Methods to supply fresh water are becoming increasingly critical as the world population continues to grow. Small-diameter hazardous microbes such as viruses (20-100 nm diameter) can be filtered by size exclusion, but in this approach the filters are fouled. Thus, in our research, we are investigating an approach in which filters will be reusable. When exposed to ultraviolet (UV) illumination, tit

Hurler syndrome (HS) is a severe inborn error of metabolism causing progressive multi-system morbidity and death in early childhood. At present, stem cell transplantation (SCT) is the only available treatment that can prevent central nervous system disease progression in HS patients. Although SCT has been shown to be effective for several important clinical outcome parameters, the reported clinica

Amino acids are not only indispensable for protein synthesis but also play important cellular functions. In this chapter, the central nervous system (CNS) functions of serine, glycine, and threonine are discussed. Both the specific functions of the aforementioned amino acids and the functions of their derivatives are reviewed in relation to brain development and neurotransmission. In particular, f

Renal Fanconi syndrome developed rapidly in a 3-year-old Moroccan girl with established lysinuric protein intolerance. She was hospitalized because of lowered consciousness, uncoordinated movements and hepatosplenomegaly after a febrile period. Laboratory investigations revealed plasma ammonia 270 micromol/L (normal <70 micromol/L), ferritin 159 micromol/L (normal 2-59 micromol/L), LDH 1180 U/L (n

Background Axis is a network surveillance company, based in Lund, Sweden. Axis has outsourced its production to contract manufacturers which are positioned in different parts of the world. Axis’ suppliers are also spread across the globe. During the last years, Axis has experienced several supply disruptions from its suppliers and contract manufacturers, due to natural and technological disasters.

Unlimited vacation policies are a rising trend, particularly among startup and tech companies. Giving employees total freedom to choose their vacation days may prove to be beneficial for both company and employees. Within this paper, a qualitative research is presented, with the objective of finding out how unlimited vacation policies (UVPs) influence job satisfaction among employees, and what imp

Recent experiments at the CELSIUS storage ring of Uppsala, Sweden, have revealed the existence of high momentum transfer target-like fragments contrary to expectations. Recoiling heavy fragments in the reaction of 250 MCV/nucleon N-14 on Xe-131 have been measured at 10degrees with respect to the beam direction with specially designed recoil telescopes, Simulations with the Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenb

Background: The involvement of aquaporin (AQP) water and small solute channels in the etiology of several diseases, including cancer, neuromyelitis optica and body fluid imbalance disorders, has been suggested previously. Furthermore, results obtained in a mouse model suggested that AQP9 function contributes to hyperglycemia in type-2 diabetes. In addition, the physiological role of several AQP fa
