Intergenerational mobility studies are now expanding in three directions – including different regions and time periods, using different outcomes to measure mobility, and investigating the mechanisms that affect mobility. We investigate, for the first time, wealth mobility in the Cape Colony. We compare a number of outcomes, and consider several mechanisms to explain our results. Our data allow us

The production yield of prompt D mesons and their elliptic flow coefficient v 2 were measured with the Event-Shape Engineering (ESE) technique applied to mid-central (10–30% and 30–50% centrality classes) Pb-Pb collisions at the centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair sNN=5.02 TeV, with the ALICE detector at the LHC. The ESE technique allows the classification of events, belonging to the same centr

BACKGROUND: Most evidence for TSC-associated neuropsychiatric disorders (TAND) to date have come from small studies and case reports, and very little is known about TAND in adults. We explored baseline TAND data from the large-scale international TOSCA natural history study to compare childhood and adult patterns, describe age-based patterns, and explore genotype-TAND correlations.RESULTS: The stu

Objective: To present the baseline data of the international TuberOus SClerosis registry to increase disease Awareness (TOSCA) with emphasis on the characteristics of epilepsies associated with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC).Methods: Retrospective and prospective patients' data on all aspects of TSC were collected from multiple countries worldwide. Epilepsy variables included seizure type, age a

Essentials Protein S and FV-Short are synergistic cofactors to Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor α (TFPIα). An assay for the TFPIα synergistic cofactor activity of protein S with FV-Short was developed. The assay was specific for the synergistic TFPIα-cofactor activity of free protein S. Protein S deficient individuals with known mutations were correctly distinguished from controls. Summary: Backgro

Background: Reduced dexterity is common after stroke, which can affect the ability to perform upper limb daily activities. To improve upper limb function after stroke, it is important to understand which factors are most associated with dexterity. Objective: To evaluate how several factors are associated with dexterity after stroke. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: A university hospital. Pa

Photovoltaics is amongst the most important technologies for renewable energy sources, and plays a key role in the development of a society with a smaller environmental footprint. Key parameters for solar cells are their energy conversion efficiency, their operating lifetime, and the cost of the energy obtained from a photovoltaic system compared to other sources. The optimization of these aspects

In this report, we present a novel modular approach to the immobilization of a high density of boronic acid ligands on thermoresponsive block copolymer brushes for effective enrichment of glycoproteins via their synergistic multiple covalent binding with the immobilized boronic acids. Specifically, a two-step, consecutive surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) was employe

Organometal halide perovskites have attracted tremendous attention for optoelectronic applications. Charge carrier trapping is one of the dominant processes often deteriorating the performance of devices. Here, we investigate the details of trap behavior in colloidal nanoparticles (NPs) of CH3NH3PbBr3 perovskites with mean size of 8 nm and the corresponding bulk crystals (BCs). We use excitation i

This book provides the first comprehensive discussion of conflicts between legal bases in EU law. It fills an important gap in the existing literature on the choice of legal basis in EU law by analysing the structure of legal bases and the resulting legal basis litigation in the European Union, thus identifying areas of conflict produced by overlapping competences, divergent inter-institutional in

This paper explains how corporations can develop market-based activities to influence environmental policies. The empirical focus is on how Swedish apparel retailers qualify take-back systems for used clothes and textiles as steps toward creating circular fashion. An analysis of the qualities that retailers attach to take-back systems shows how qualification helps corporations feature fashion as p

Context. Top-down chemistry is believed to be responsible for the formation of the large molecular compounds such as the polycyclicaromatic hydrocarbon-like molecules and the fullerenes observed in the interstellar medium. The release of these large molecules fromthe parent grains remains an important issue to be investigated.Aims. Cosmic rays irradiate the dust grains during their journey in the

This article analyses the impact of Brexit on devolved competences in environmental protection. It maps the post-Brexit division of the United Kingdom (UK)’s internal (devolved) and external (international) competences and how this may shift when competences are returned from the European Union (EU). Crucially, the article suggests that certain of these EU powers do not simply derive from the EU b

Signal processing complexity and required memory become problematic in massive MIMO systems as the dimension of channel state information (CSI) matrix grows significantly with the large number of antennas and users. To address these challenges, we propose the first angular-domain massive MIMO detection scheme, which is based on three concepts: transferring the baseband processing from the spatial

The building sector is the single largest consumer of natural resources, accounting for a staggering half of global material use and over a third of energy use and carbon emissions. As a response, the circular transition in the building sector has been focused on strategies such as extracting material from demolished buildings, and design-for-disassembly in new construction projects. Sadly, signif
