In this work, we consider the case of a strongly coupled dark/hidden sector, which extends the Standard Model (SM) by adding an additional non-Abelian gauge group. These extensions generally contain matter fields, much like the SM quarks, and gauge fields similar to the SM gluons. We focus on the exploration of such sectors where the dark particles are produced at the LHC through a portal and unde
We demonstrate how water-soluble gold nanoparticles prepared by the citrate reduction method can be functionalized with 11-azidoundecane-1-thiol in a single-step procedure, which combines phase transfer and ligand exchange. The advantages of our method include high reproducibility, low cost of gold nanoparticle production, and rapid and clean ligand exchange, with minimal intermediate steps and no
This article is part of the Dendritic Cell Guidelines article series, which provides a collection of state-of-the-art protocols for the preparation, phenotype analysis by flow cytometry, generation, fluorescence microscopy and functional characterization of mouse and human dendritic cells (DC) from lymphoid organs and various nonlymphoid tissues. DC are sentinels of the immune system present in al
A survey of nuclear structure results obtained along α-decay chains stemming from isotopes of element 114, Fl, and element 115, Mc, is presented. Measures taken to ensure a reliable hand-over of nuclear spectroscopy output to nuclear structure theory are outlined. Possible links between decay chains starting from element 117, Ts, and element 115, Mc, are commented on. The experiments were conducte
Building on the base of the existing telescopes of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) and ALMA, the next-generation EHT (ngEHT) aspires to deploy ∼10 more stations. The ngEHT targets an angular resolution of ∼15 microarcseconds. This resolution is achieved using Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) at the shortest radio wavelengths ∼1 mm. The Submillimeter Array (SMA) is both a standalone radio
Abstract: Optical flow provides an opportunity to elevate the resolution and sensitivity of deflection sensing in background-oriented schlieren (BOS). Despite extensive relevant literature within the field of computer vision, there is a lack of proper quantification of its abilities and limitations with regard to the state-of-the-art BOS experiments. Thus, this study performs an assessment of accu
The aim of this paper is two-fold. First, the paper aims to provide tools for a structured examination of competition law’s perceived inability to address sustainability. The EU framework is chosen as a case study since EU competition law is embedded in the EU’s constitutional framework. As a result, EU competition law is subject to the requirement of Article 11 TFEU and 39 of the Charter of Funda
We built machine learning and image analysis tools in order to forecast winter wheat yield based on a rich multi dimensional tensor of agricultural information spanning different scales. This information consists of satellite multi-band images, local soil samples obtained from national databases, local weather as well as field data from 23 farms cultivating winter wheat in southern Sweden. This is
Objectives: This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows:. To assess the benefits and harms of pain and sedation management for screening or treatment of retinopathy of prematurity in preterm infants compared to placebo, no intervention, or other interventions.
Background: Childhood (< 20 years) nervous system tumors manifest in some rare cancer syndromes but how commonly they present with familial clustering between various histological types is not well known at a nation-wide level. Our aim is to enhance understanding of familial risks in childhood nervous system cancers. Methods: We used the Swedish population and cancer data from years 1958–2021 to a
This paper describes the development of a new variant of stereoselective strain-release driven reactions (formal homo [3 + 2] dipolar cycloadditions) which utilize housane (1) to construct functionalized amino alcohols and pyridine-substituted cyclopentanes in two to three steps from simple and easily available building blocks (nitrones and pyridine N-oxides respectively).
Vertebrate photoreceptors have been studied for well over a century, but a fixed nomenclature for referring to orthologous cell types across diverse species has been lacking. Instead, photoreceptors have been variably—and often confusingly—named according to morphology, presence/absence of ‘rhodopsin’, spectral sensitivity, chromophore usage, and/or the gene family of the opsin(s) they express. He
Human-robot interactions are inherently different from interactions with other artefacts, as robots are autonomous. Furthermore, recent technological advances have also enabled robots to undertake roles that are formerly thought to be reserved for humans, e.g. as companions or lovers, since interactive abilities of robots and their autonomy are sufficient to evoke an automatic cognitive response -
Synthesis of molecularly imprinted polymer microspheres using precipitation polymerization was first reported in 1999 in Lund. The synthetic approach attracted great interest for molecular imprinters worldwide due to its simplicity. Following the initial demonstration of feasibility for material synthesis, imprinted polymer microspheres were found to exhibit good colloidal stability qualifying for
Quantifications of phytoplankton biomass and species composition are crucial for monitoring biodiversity and population dynamics in aquatic environments, and both direct microscopic counts and fluorescence-based methods have been widely used for monitoring. Recent advancements in DNA metabarcoding offer an alternative way of easily assessing diversity and species composition. However, a comprehens
Evolutionary changes in populations of microbes, such as microalgae, cannot be traced using conventional metabarcoding loci as they lack intraspecific resolution. Consequently, selection and competition processes among strains of the same species cannot be resolved without elaborate isolation, culturing, and genotyping efforts. Bamboozle, a new bioinformatic tool introduced here, scans the entire
