Climate change affects organisms worldwide with profound ecological and evolutionary consequences, often increasing population extinction risk. Climatic factors can increase the strength, variability, or direction of natural selection on phenotypic traits, potentially driving adaptive evolution. Phenotypic plasticity in relation to temperature can allow organisms to maintain fitness in response to

Introduction Studies about machinery equipment investment have a long tradition in economics and economic history. Since the analysis of the Industrial Revolution and the growth studies of the twentieth century, there are indications that economic growth of countries has a strong nexus with investment in capital formation and speci cally, with the machinery equipment investment. However, in the ca

Several scholars from various theoretical perspectives have proposed pieces of the peace puzzle. As scholars fit together the sometimes disparate pieces of this puzzle, the missing pieces become more visible, and gender is among them. While gender studies, feminist international relations (IR) scholars, and peace and conflict researchers informed by a gender perspective have contributed to this pu

A novel Stacked Multi-Level (SML) modulator topology optimized for long pulse and high average power applications has been developed at ESS. It utilizes six identical modules connected in series at the HV output side and fed in parallel from the low voltage side. Each one is formed by one HF inverter, one step-up transformer, one HV rectifier bridge and one HV passive filter. They are supplied, in

An insertion device lab was setup at MAX IV Laboratory and the production of insertion devices, mainly outof-vacuum is ongoing and aided by new magnetic measurement systems. A new 5.5 m long Hall probe bench is used for field map measurements and a new hybrid flip coil and stretch wire system will be used for field integrals of full devices as well as individual magnet blocks characterisation. Thi

The FACET-II facility, currently being designed at SLAC, will contain a small 20 m circumference, 335 MeV, positron damping ring. The ring has to fit in the existing linac tunnel, meaning that a compact lattice with short distances between magnets is required. The detailed magnet design is done in Opera-3d, with a finite element model of a full damping ring arc being simulated. This article presen

The tumor microenvironment can act so as to stimulate or reject tumor cells. Among the determining factors are cytokines produced, for example, by infiltrating immune cells, tumor cells, and fibroblasts. External radiotherapy has been shown to be able to activate an immune response against tumor cells with cytokine signaling as an important part of the activation. The aim of this study was to eval

This article analyses the application of the 1972 United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Convention (the WHC) in the context of the armed conflicts that have taken place in the Virunga National Park (the Park), a natural world heritage site in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the DRC). Instead of addressing wartime environmental damage under t

Railway tracks are complex systems, made up numerous critical components such as rails, sleepers/ties, fasteners, ballast, joints, crossings, switches, that require regular monitoring in order to ensure track safety and optimize track efficiency. Many large railways make use of expensive Track Geometry Cars in order to measure railway asset condition through the measurement of rail geometry (gauge

The sustainable development of cities is threatened by a worldwide water crisis, which puts urban water services (including drinking water, sanitation, and drainage) at increasing risk. Despite a shared understanding of the importance of addressing the issue, there is a peculiar lack of action and resistance at all levels. To make matters worse, risk reduction and resilience building measures seem

Neurotrophic factors are candidates for treating epilepsy, but their development has been hampered by difficulties in achieving stable and targeted delivery of efficacious concentrations within the desired brain region. We have developed an encapsulated cell technology that overcomes these obstacles by providing a targeted, continuous, de novo synthesized source of high levels of neurotrophic mole

This paper presents an empirical analysis of the relation between un-employment and macroeconomic performance. A strong correlation hasbeen pointed out before, but a crucial question is over what time-horizonthis holds. To the best of our knowledge, no previous cross-country studyhas shown that there is a long-run relationship between unemploymentand macroeconomic performance over a time-period th

This study examined an econometric analysis of the macroeconomic determinants of carbon dioxide (CO2) emission in Nigeria, covering the periods between 1981 and 2016, employing both linear and non-linear Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL & NARDL) models. The time series data used were sourced from the database of the World Bank Development Indicators, 2016 and Central Bank of Nigeria Statis

An online linac model has been developed at MAX IV in order to enable a calculation of the properties of the linac beam based on the actual settings of the magnetic elements. The model is based on the Elegant simulation code and uses the design linac lattice file. A set of Matlab scripts fetch the actual settings of all elements via the Tango control system, pass these values on to Elegant and run

Asymmetric construction of dithiodiketopiperazines on otherwise achiral scaffolds remains a pivotal synthetic challenge encountered in many biologically significant natural products. Herein, we report the first total syntheses of (−)-glionitrin A/B and revise the absolute configurations. Emerging from the study is a novel oxidative sulfenylation of triketopiperazines that enables asymmetric format
