A technique for enhancing the bandwidth of a broadside tri-modal patch antenna is described. The key idea of the technique is to incorporate a dual-resonance structure into the broadside tri-modal patch geometry. By increasing one edge of the tri-modal patch while decreasing its size at the opposite edge, the resulting structure can be viewed as two super-imposed Y-shaped structures of different r
In the summer of 1988, during the premiership of Mir-Hussein Mousavi, thousands of opponents of the Islamic Republic were extrajudicially executed while in prison. Newly published evidence from Amnesty International shows that Mousavi, despite his denials, was aware of the executions, casting a dark shadow over the reformist movement in Iran.
Fibrinogen is essential for normal hemostasis. Congenital fibrinogen disorders (afibrinogenemia, hypofibrinogenemia, dysfibrinogenemia and hypodysfibrinogenemia), caused by pathogenic variants in the genes FGA, FGB and FGG, have the potential of causing bleeding diathesis and/or thrombotic events of variable severity. We describe a case of familial hypofibrinogenemia in a Swedish family. The proba
Hilary Kornblith argues that many traditional philosophical accounts involve problematic views of reflection (understood as second-order mental states). According to Kornblith, reflection does not add reliability, which makes it unfit to underlie a separate form of knowledge. We show that a broader understanding of reflection, encompassing Type 2 processes, working memory, and episodic long-term m
This article is concerned with the visual culture of global health data using antimicrobial resistance (AMR) as an example. I explore how public health data and knowledge are repackaged into visualisations and presented in four contemporary genres: the animation, the TED Talk, the documentary and the satire programme. I focus on how different actors describe a world in which there are no or few an
This study’s aim was to operationalise and test a model of functional stupidity, a form of unreflective compliance, and explore its appropriateness for understanding how social workers comply with and motivate performing morally or professionally problematic tasks. A sample of 120 social workers from six municipalities in Sweden self-completed a questionnaire containing 20 Likert-type items denoti
We introduce and provide a new data-set of species-specific ecological indicator values (alternative ‘Ellenberg values’ for climatic variables, light, moisture, soil reaction/pH, salinity, nitrogen and phosphorus plus response to management and disturbance), physiological and reproductive traits (including symbionts, phenology, pol- linators, nectar production, seed properties), indices of relevanWe introduce and provide a new data-set of species-specific ecological indicator values (alternative ‘Ellenberg values’ for climatic variables, light, moisture, soil reaction/pH, salinity, nitrogen and phosphorus plus response to management and disturbance), physiological and reproductive traits (including symbionts, phenology, pol- linators, nectar production, seed properties), indices of relevan
The naked skin surrounding the nostrils in most mammals is called a rhinarium. Rhinarium skin exhibits several unique characteristics, including an ultrastructure of pits or furrows on surface corneocytes, formed in a unique epidermal differentiation process (Paper I). Rhinarium skin is often assigned a mechanosensory function because the rhynoglyphic pattern of epidermal domes, ridges or polygons
Slender glass panels are widely used as storefronts and indoor separating walls in shopping malls and public buildings. To ensure that the design and construction is technically safe for general use and that it meets current and accepted technical standards, in-situ testing is required by the building administrator or authorities. A case study was performed of an indoor glass lantern in a public b
No-tillage (NT) practice is extensively adopted with aims to improve soil physical conditions, carbon (C) sequestration and to alleviate greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions without compromising crop yield. However, the influences of NT on GHGs emissions and crop yields remains inconsistent. A global meta-analysis was performed by using fifty peer-reviewed publications to assess the effectiveness of

We measure and analyze discriminatory behavior against same-sex couples trying to rent an apartment in Portugal and pay special attention to the role of religiosity. This is the first correspondence field experiment investigating discrimination against this minority group in Portugal, and the first one to highlight religion as a factor of importance. In our experiment, four type of applicants vary
A major pathological hallmark of Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a severe degeneration of dopamine (DA)-producing neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) projecting to the motor part of the striatum. Therefore, there is a long-standing interest in using animal models with severe nigrostriatal degeneration for experimental research. Pathophysiological and behavioral features of PD are best
