One way to remain relevant and maintain the position as a legitimate news actor is to establish and build relationships with youn

The experiment at Argonne National Laboratory aimed to study the fusion-evaporation reaction following the collision of a high-energy particle beam of 36Ar with a stationary target of 24Mg. This paper outlines the creation and implementation of an automated re-calibration procedure for the high-purity Germanium detectors comprising the Gammasphere array used for γ-ray spectroscopy in this experime

Sverige var under 1800-talets andra hälft ett fattigt land med höga utvandringstal. Parallellt med den tilltagande utvandringen industrialiserades landet och infrastruktur anlades, exempelvis i form av järnvägar. Ekonomisk teori anger att migrationsbeslut grundas i förhållandet mellan potentiella inkomster i värdlandet och kostnader för migrationen.

Concurrent to the surge in emigration, the country was industrialized and infrastructure developed, for instance in the shape of railways. Economic theory suggests that the relation between potential incomes in the host country and migration costs determine migration decisions. Such costs need not b

Bakgrund: Intraoperativ awareness är en ovanlig men fruktad komplikation vid generell anestesi som ofta leder till psykologiska komplikationer som posttraumatisk stress, sömnsvårigheter och ångest. Användning av bispectral index (BIS) är en omdebatterad åtgärd för att motverka awareness vid generell anestesi. Alternativ till BIS är att säkerställa anestesidjup genom att observera de kliniska teckn

The metabolism of pyruvate in the cell is abnormally regulated in several human diseases, such as type-II diabetes, cancer and neurodegenerative disorders, in which the human mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (HuMPC) sits at a pivotal point. It transports pyruvate across the inner mitochondrial membrane and consists of two proteins, MPC1 and MPC2, and is a potential drug target against these diseases
