This case study investigates the potentials, greenhouse gas (GHG), and energy performance of forest residue biofuels produced by new and emerging production technologies, which are commercially implemented in Sweden for heavy transport. The biofuel options included are ethanol (ED 95), hydro-processed vegetable oil (HVO), and liquefied biogas (LBG) produced from logging residues in forestry and sa
PURPOSE: To evaluate the outcomes of total endovascular aortic arch repair using three-vessel inner branch stent-grafts for aneurysms and chronic dissections.METHODS: We reviewed the clinical data and outcomes of consecutive patients treated by total endovascular aortic arch repair at eight academic centers using three-vessel inner branch stent-grafts (William Cook Europe, Bjaeverskov, Denmark) be
Introduction: The role of chemotherapy for patients with dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma (DDCS) is still under discussion. Here, we present the outcome in patients with DDCS treated with intensive chemotherapy from the EUROpean Bone Over 40 Sarcoma Study. Materials and methods: The chemotherapy regimen included doxorubicin, ifosfamide and cisplatin. Postoperative methotrexate was added in case of
In this paper, a novel membrane reactor (MR) for methanol steam reforming is modeled to produce fuel cell grade hydrogen, which can be used as the inlet fuel for a later developed 500-W horizon polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) stack. The backpropagation (BP) neural network algorithm is employed to develop the mapping relation model between the MR's prime operational parameters and fuel cell ou
Purpose: This study aims to determine whether comparable target regions of interest (ROIs) and cut-offs can be used across [18F]flortaucipir, [18F]RO948, and [18F]MK6240 tau positron emission tomography (PET) tracers for differential diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) dementia vs either cognitively unimpaired (CU) individuals or non-AD neurodegenerative diseases. Methods: A total of 1755 partic
Social desirability may cause spurious relations in self-rating measures. The present study sought to disentangle socially desirable responding and content in the relation between measures of personality traits and well-being. Social desirability was operationalized as the evaluative factor (the tendency to react to evaluative content in questionnaire items). We collected self- and peer-ratings of
Introduction: Suturing is a fundamental component of surgical procedures, wherein training emphasises the significance of gentle tissue handling. The suturing process involves the pressure exerted by the forceps onto the tissue, as well as the medial traction force applied to stabilise the tissue during the needle bite. This study examined the forces involved in tissue handling during suturing, co
Daylight is crucial for the well-being of individuals in indoor environments, providing numerous physiological and psychological benefits. Achieving satisfactory daylight levels can be particularly challenging during adaptive reuse of existing buildings for new purposes. This study determined the feasibility of adapting an office for residential use by assessing interior daylight availability and
The ALICE Collaboration reports measurements of the large relative transverse momentum (kT) component of jet substructure in pp and Pb-Pb collisions at center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair sNN=5.02 TeV. Enhancement in the yield of such large-kT emissions in head-on Pb-Pb collisions is predicted to arise from partonic scattering with quasiparticles of the quark-gluon plasma. The analysis utilizes
The emergence of large language models (LLMs) has made it easier than ever to create chatbots capable of generating human-like responses to user inputs. Moreover, improvements in text-to-speech and speech-to-text make it possible to converse with these systems, not just in text but also through speech. These improvements have led to an increase in chatbot applications across various contexts, such
The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) is proposed to employ a thin tungsten target and a multi-GeV electron beam to carry out a missing momentum search for the production of dark matter candidate particles. We study the sensitivity for a complementary missing-energy-based search using the LDMX Electromagnetic Calorimeter as an active target with a focus on early running. In this context, we cons
This paper examines the evolving role of universities in transferring and developing knowledge to foster transformative Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) policy amid significant shifts in economic development landscapes. With a rising focus on geopolitics, defense, resilience, and disruptive technologies, universities are increasingly expected to e
Background and importance: The major risk factor for vermilion lip squamous cell carcinoma (vlSCC) is excessive sunlight exposure. Population-based studies on treatment and outcome are lacking. Methods: This is a nation-wide, population-based study of treatment and outcome from prospectively recorded data for 2,111 vlSCC registered in the Swedish Head and Neck Cancer Register (SweHNCR) diagnosed 2
In this episode, the story of Clever Hans, the horse who changed psychology for the better. We also sit down with psychologist and magician Matt Tompkins. Matt is the author of The Spectacle of Illusion, a book about the long history of the manipulation of our own magical thinking and how studying deception, and especially self-deception, can help us better understand perception, memory, belief, a
In this article I shed light on the phenomenon of Chinese young people’s conversion to Christianity and argue that it is often closely tied to a utopian longing for what is missing in their lives (Bloch 1907). Through a person-centered account of two young people, I explore their quests to escape the temporal predicament of endless striving 'fuzao' and search for a better life based autotelic valu
Persistent physical symptoms (PPS) are common, disabling, and associated with high health care use, yet effective and scalable psychological treatments remain limited. Internet-administrated self-help programs may improve access to care. Asynchronous Internet-administered Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (I-EAET) with therapist guidance has been shown to reduce somatic symptoms in PPS, b
