Understanding the electronic structure and chemical bonding of transition metal complexes is important for improving the function of molecular photosensitizers and catalysts. We have utilized X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) at the Fe L3 edge to investigate the electronic structure of two Fe N-heterocyclic carbene complexes with similar chemical st

Sweden needs affordable housing solutions to counteract segregation and isolation whilst promoting resilient cities. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the conditions for being and sharing with others. The aim of the article is to explore residents practices of inhabiting, sharing and being involved in existing collaborative housing during the pandemic. The article conceptualizes collaborative hous

Production of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural from sugar beet molasses as feed-stock should in theory be a straight-forward process: first, hydrolysis of sucrose, followed by dehydration of fructose, but is in reality challenging. The enzyme-catalysed sucrose hydrolysis is inhibited by impurities and the dehydration of fructose has low conversions. In this study, pretreatment of crude molasses through pur

For the 20-year anniversary of ephemera journal, we have invited eight collectives engaged in alternatives to mainstream publishing to tell us about the initiatives they are part of. The task of ephemera, in turn, has been to bring them together. In this forum the collectives introduce what they do, articulating their political commitments and organising principles, whilst not shying away from the

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling may aid in planning of invasive interventions in Fontan patients. Clinical application of current CFD techniques is however limited by complexity and long computation times. Therefore, we validated a "lean" CFD method to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and an "established" CFD method, ultimately aiming to reduce complexity to enable predictive CFD durin

ObjectiveTo report trends and characteristics of post-biopsy infections, with regard to etiology and resistance patterns, in a large unique cohort from a single-centre using the same antibiotic prophylactic regimens during a 15-year period.MethodsThis is an observational cross sectional cohort study, including all patients who underwent transrectal prostate biopsy (TR PBx) guided by ultrasound for

An energy transition is unfolding in Canada and across the world. During this transition, countries are facing increasing demands for their energy systems to address economic, social, and environmental considerations, including providing affordable and reliable energy, reducing inequality, and producing fewer environmental impacts. First, we identify key themes from the academic literature related

We measured 135 cross sections of residual nuclei produced in fragmentation reactions of 12C, 14N, and 13−16,20,22O projectiles impinging on a carbon target at kinetic energies of near 400A MeV, most of them for the first time, with the R 3 B/LAND setup at the GSI facility in Darmstadt (Germany). The use of this state-of-the-art experimental setup in combination with the inverse kinematics techniq

This article analyses the role that ‘ordre public’ and morality exceptions can play in the granting of patents on inventions in the field of human germline editing and the consequences of this policy option. In order to provide the context for such an analysis, the article will, first, provide an overview of the current patent landscape for relevant genome editing technologies, drawing attention t

Crystallography is an invaluable tool in materials science, solid state physics and protein science. Understanding crystallography requires grasping the powerful but abstract concept of reciprocal space. Here a simple but insightful experiment using a laser pointer and Au microdisc arrays to explore and illustrate Bragg diffraction and reciprocal space is demonstrated. The Au microdisc arrays were

The Cenozoic Himalaya-Tibet orogen is generally regarded as the archetypal continental collision zone and is often used as an analogue for interpreting ancient orogenic events. However, given the wide diversity observed in present-day collisional mountain belts, the extent to which such inferences can be made remains debated. In this Review, we compare the metamorphic and magmatic record of the Hi

Selenium has been suggested to be protective regarding breast cancer risk but no overall effect has been established. Genetics may modify the effect. This study compares the effect of selenium exposure on breast cancer risk between women with different alleles in single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The Malmö Cancer and Diet Study, a cohort including 17,035 women and >25 years of follow-up on b

En analys av alla större imperiers undergång från forntiden till idag, med målet att urskilja gemensamma mönster i utvecklingen.
