Fabrication of CoNb2O6 thin films was possible through spin-coating an alkali-free, aqueous solution of a polyoxoniobate ([Nb10O28]6-, Nb10) and a cobalt nitrate (Co(NO3)2), followed by annealing. The results showed that depending on the calcination conditions, minor phases of unreacted Co3O4 and β-Nb2O5 may form alongside the columbite CoNb2O6 phase. However, optimizing the calcination conditions

The tumor microenvironment of brain metastases has become a focus in the development of immunotherapeutic drugs. However, countless brain metastasis patients have not experienced clinical benefit. Thus, understanding the immune cell composition within brain metastases, and how the immune cells interact with each other and other microenvironmental cell types, may be critical for optimizing immunoth

Tertiary Lymphoid Structures (TLS) are organized aggregates of immune cells such as T cells, B cells, and Dendritic Cells (DCs), as well as fibroblasts, formed postnatally in response to signals from cytokines and chemokines. Central to the function of TLS are DCs, professional antigen-presenting cells (APCs) that coordinate the adaptive immune response, and which can be classified into different

In human proteomics, substantial efforts are ongoing to leverage large collections of mass spectrometry (MS) fragment ion spectra into extensive spectral libraries (SL) as a resource for data independent acquisition (DIA) analysis. Currently, such initiatives in equine research are still missing. Here we present a large-scale equine SL, comprising 6394 canonical proteins and 89,329 unique peptides

Major political events become a dominant topic of the discussions in the countries involved, and various actors, often other than political parties, take a stance towards them. The withdrawal of the UK from the European Union as a result of the 2016 UK referendum was one of those, and a quite polarised atmosphere from supporters of both sides was observed in the UK and the rest of Europe since the

Direct membrane filtration (DMF) has gained a lot of attention in recent years because of its potential to treat low-strength and low temperature wastewater, where biological based treatments are inefficient. However, fouling is a major concern which keeps this technique from being more widely used. The main aim of this study was to investigate membrane fouling, its mitigation approaches and the o

INTRODUCTION: Maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection can affect pregnancy outcome, but the placental response to and the effect of timing of infection is not well studied. The aim of this study was to investigate the placental levels of inflammatory and cardiovascular markers in pregnancies complicated by SARS-CoV-2 infection compared to non-infected pregnancies, and to investigate whether there was an ass

Background: Randomized trials have shown that axillary clearance (AC) can safely be omitted in patients with sentinel lymph node-positive breast cancer. At the same time, de-escalation of chemotherapy in postmenopausal patients with ER+HER2− breast cancer may depend on detailed axillary nodal stage. The aim of this pre-specified secondary analysis of the SENOMAC trial was to investigate whether th

BACKGROUND Trials evaluating the omission of completion axillary-lymph-node dissection in patients with clinically node-negative breast cancer and sentinel-lymph-node metastases have been compromised by limited statistical power, uncertain nodal radiotherapy target volumes, and a scarcity of data on relevant clinical subgroups. METHODS We conducted a noninferiority trial in which patients with cli

Background: In luminal breast cancer, adjuvant CDK4/6 inhibitors (eg, abemaciclib) improve invasive disease-free survival. In patients with T1–2, grade 1–2 tumours, and one or two sentinel lymph node metastases, completion axillary lymph node dissection (cALND) is the only prognostic tool available that can reveal four or more nodal metastases (pN2–3), which is the only indication for adjuvant abe

This chapter surveys the history of natural law in Denmark from the reformation to the eighteenth century, with a special focus on its significance for the development of a universal or general church law. It shows that the Danish theologian Niels Hemmingsen developed a rationalist theory of natural law based on human nature. In line with his teacher Philipp Melanchthon, this was the basis for a r

The rescript of 1688 granted the bishop and superintendent Theodorus Thorlacius (Latinised form of Þórður Þorláksson) permission to print Norwegian and Icelandic historical and antiquarian works, demonstrating the growing interest in Old Norse culture in the Scandinavian countries in the seventeenth century. The printing of Icelandic histories illustrates not only the growth and importance of prin

Joachim Wielandt’s petition for a privilege to print and sell 97 different books for 30 years (22 July 1721) and the following report by the University Consistory reveal the increasingly complex dynamic between royal policies and market realities in Denmark-Norway at the beginning of the eighteenth century. Read together, the petition and report highlight how ownership of printed texts was negotia

In scenarios coined Maxwell's demon, information on microscopic degrees of freedom is used to seemingly violate the second law of thermodynamics. This has been studied in the classical as well as the quantum domain. In this paper, we study an implementation of Maxwell's demon that can operate in both domains. In particular, we investigate information-to-work conversion over the quantum-to-classica

Anticancer drugs can be delivered more efficiently to tumor sites with fewer side effects by utilizing magnetic nanoparticles. In this research detailed examinations of the effect of polyethylene glycol (PEG) on microstructure, size distribution, morphology, magnetic performance and coating of cobalt ferrite nanoparticles (CFO) were conducted. CFO nanoparticles were functionalized by PEG under dif
