GaAs nanowire arrays on silicon offer great perspectives in the optoelectronics and solar cell industry. To fulfill this potential, gold-free growth in predetermined positions should be achieved. Ga-assisted growth of GaAs nanowires in the form of array has been shown to be challenging and difficult to reproduce. In this work, we provide some of the key elements for obtaining a high yield of GaAs
It is widely believed that, in contrast to its electron-doped counterparts, the hole-doped compound Ba(1-x)K(x)Fe(2)As(2) exhibits a mesoscopic phase separation of magnetism and superconductivity in the underdoped region of the phase diagram. Here, we report a combined high-resolution x-ray powder diffraction and volume-sensitive muon spin rotation study of Ba(1-x)K(x)Fe(2)As(2) showing that this
Membrane filtration technique shows exclusively properties for optimized filtration for a given size, from micrometer to nanometer scales compared to other industrial filtration. However, there is a trade off in flux that has delayed the implementation of the membrane techniques for a wider range of applications. For a specific flow in a process stream, the limited flux through the membrane means
I texten diskuteras vilka kulturella och sociala konsekvenser en snabb tillbakagång för kontanter till fördel för andra betalningssätt kan komma att få. Vem riskerar att lämnas utanför en snabb digital utveckling och hur förändras pengars kulturella och symboliska mening?
Test beam measurements at the test beam facilities of DESY have been conducted to characterise the performance of the EUDET-type beam telescopes originally developed within the EUDET project. The beam telescopes are equipped with six sensor planes using MIMOSA 26 monolithic active pixel devices. A programmable Trigger Logic Unit provides trigger logic and time stamp information on particle passage
In pharmaceutical biotechnology, ultrafiltration with diafiltration for recovery of fermentation products on an industrial scale is now the state-of-the-art technology. To optimise this process, DSS has developed two new concepts: (1) an optimised control system for constant permeate concentration even at varying feed streams and (2) continuous counter-current diafiltration to significantly reduce
The membrane market for the food and beverage industry of which the wine market has a significant share developed to the second largest market after municipal water treatment in Europe. The trend in the wine market towards larger volumes combined with an improved quality leads to a constant investment for upgrading and updating present product facilities. There are several interesting positions
The formation age of the large (∼50 km) Carswell impact structure, Canada, has been a matter of debate ever since its discovery five decades ago, with proposed ages ranging from Mesoproterozoic to Early Cretaceous. Here, we present new 40Ar-39Ar data for aliquots of euhedral adularia, separated from vesicles in an impact melt rock from the central uplift of the structure. The analyses of the adula
Potential applications of membrane technology for the beverage industry will be presented by two case studies. The focus of the first case study is on the clarification and concentration of fruit juice. A novel combination of a centrifuge with ultrafiltration for the clarification will be discussed together with the combination of an evaporator combined with reverse osmosis for the concentration.
Objective—To determine medium-term outcome after arterial switch operation for complete transposition in a population-based cohort.Design—Retrospective study of all 86 patients operated on at our institution from 1982 to 2000. Age at operation was 0-256 days (median 6 days); 28 (32%) had closure of a ventricular septal defect, 2 of whom had double outlet right ventricle. Additional surgery include
Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is one of the leading causes of transfusion-related fatalities and is characterized by the onset of acute respiratory distress within 6 hours of a blood transfusion. There are no specific therapies available and the pathogenesis remains unclear. Pre-existing inflammation is a risk factor for TRALI and neutrophils (PMNs) are considered to be the major p
Transfusion-associated circulatory overload (TACO) and Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) are syndromes of acute respiratory distress which occur within 6 hours of blood transfusion. TACO and TRALI are the leading causes of transfusion-related fatalities and specific therapies are unavailable. Diagnostically, it remains very challenging to distinguish TACO and TRALI from underlying caus
UV (240-370 nm) and IR (3200-1500 cm-1) absorption cross-sections of HCHO, HCDO, and DCDO in abath gas of N2 at atmospheric pressure and 296 K are reported from simultaneous measurements in the twospectral regions. Cross-sections were placed on an absolute scale through quantitative conversion offormaldehyde to CO and HCOOH by titration with Br atoms, also monitored by FTIR. The integrated UVabsor
Objective: To examine the performance of ultrasound (US) for the diagnosis of gout using the presence of monosodium urate monohydrate (MSU) crystals as the gold standard. Methods: We analyzed data from the Study for Updated Gout Classification Criteria (SUGAR), a large, multicenter observational cross-sectional study of consecutive subjects with at least 1 swollen joint who conceivably may have go
The photolysis rates of HCHO, DCDO, CH3CHO, and CH 3CDO are studied by long-path FTIR spectroscopy in natural tropospheric conditions at the European Photoreactor Facility (EUPHORE) in Valencia, Spain. Average relative photolysis rates jHCHO/j DCDO = 3.15 ± 0.08 and jCH3CHO/jCH3CDO = 1.26 ± 0.03 are obtained from three days of experiments for each reaction in the period June 17 to July 7, 2006.
