Despite emergency and essential surgery and anaesthesia care being recognised as a part of Universal Health Coverage, 5 billion people worldwide lack access to safe, timely and affordable surgery and anaesthesia care. In Tanzania, 19% of all deaths and 17 % of disability-adjusted life years are attributable to conditions amenable to surgery. It is recommended that countries develop and implement N

Atmospheric new particle formation (NPF) is an important phenomenon in terms of global particle number concentrations. Here we investigated the frequency of NPF, formation rates of 10 nm particles, and growth rates in the size range of 10–25 nm using at least 1 year of aerosol number size-distribution observations at 36 different locations around the world. The majo

Cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) number concentrations alongside with submicrometer particle number size distributions and particle chemical composition have been measured at atmospheric observatories of the Aerosols, Clouds, and Trace gases Research InfraStructure (ACTRIS) as well as other international sites over multiple years. Here, harmonized data records from 11 observatories are summarized,

Field observations of new particle formation and the subsequent particle growth are typically only possible at a fixed measurement location, and hence do not follow the temporal evolution of an air parcel in a Lagrangian sense. Standard analysis for determining formation and growth rates requires that the time-dependent formation rate and growth rate of the particles are spatially invariant; air p

Biofilm reactors are particularly suitable for the treatment of large amounts of diluted effluent, such as groundwater contaminated with scarcely soluble pollutants. A packed-bed column reactor was tested for the degradation of acenaphthene, phenanthrene and pyrene provided at their aqueous solubility concentrations. Acenapthene and phenanthrene were removed to more than 99% efficiency from this r

Measurements of the crystal size distribution performed over Southern Germany show that the effective diameter decrease 10-30% in cirrus clouds perturbed by aircraft. The reduction is more pronounced at higher cloud water content and is not observed at temperatures warmer than -30°C.

The ratio of the cross sections for inclusive isolated-photon production in pp collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 13 and 8 TeV is measured using the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The integrated luminosities of the 13 TeV and 8 TeV datasets are 3.2 fb −1 and 20.2 fb −1 , respectively. The ratio is measured as a function of the photon transverse energy in different regions of the photon pseudorap

I denna artikel presenterar vi arbete från EU projektet STARR och NordForsk projektet ActivAbles. Vi beskriver vår iterativa designprocess för ett aktivitetsspel för personer som har haft en stroke, och diskuterar designval och erfarenheter.In this paper we present work carried out in the EU project STARR and the NordForsk project ActivAbles. We report on the design and iterative development of an outdoor activity game for stroke survivors, and discuss design choices, experiences from the iterative testing and outline potential future developments.

In situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) investigations have been performed to provide insights into the reaction mechanism of a palladium(ii) catalyzed undirected C-H acetoxylation reaction in the presence of an oxidant. A Pd(ii) N-heterocyclic carbene complex π-stacked onto reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was used as the catalyst. The Pd speciation during the catalytic process was examined by XA

A systematic study of the photophysical and electrochemical properties of triscyclometalated homoleptic iridium(III) complexes based on 2-(1-naphthyl)pyridine (npy) ligands is presented. A systematic investigation of ligand substitution patterns showed an influence on the lifetime of the excited state, with slight changes in the absorption and emission spectral features. Specifically, the emissio

A series of complexes with oxathiacrown ethers appended to a [Ru(bpy)2]2+ moiety have been synthesized and characterised using 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR, electronic absorption and emission spectroscopies, mass spectrometry and elemental analyses. The complexes exhibit strong MLCT luminescence bands in the range 608-611 nm and one reversible metal centred oxidation potential in the range 1.00-1.02 V. The

Metalation of two cyclohexane-based phosphinite pincer ligands, cis-POCyPO (4) and trans-POCyPO (5) (POCyPO = {1,3-bis-[(di-tert-butylphosphinito]cyclohexane}−), is reported. In line with previously published results (Dalton Trans. 2009, 8626, DOI: 10.1039/B910798C), ligand 4 undergoes aromatization to give benzene-based complex (POCOP)IrHCl (3) at high temperatures in the presence of [Ir(COD)Cl]2

The ligand Ph2PC6H4(CH2N(Me)CO(Et)) reacts with (bis(diphenylphosphino)butane) (2,5-norbornadiene)rhodium tetrafluoroborate (2a) and (bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane)(2,5-norbornadiene) rhodium tetrafluoroborate (2b) at room temperature in the presence of hydrogen to displace the norbornadiene and give the chelate complexes 3a,b, in which the phosphorus and the oxygen atoms are coordinated to give an
