Organic substrates for pelagic bacteria are derived from dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in the water column. DOC is a heterogeneous mixture of molecules, some of which are imported from the watershed (allochthonous DOC) and others that are produced by autotrophs within the system (autochthonous DOC). We examined the importance of autochthonous versus allochthonous DOC in supporting the growth of p

This work presents a review of studies on the process economics of ethanol production from lignocellulosic materials published since 1996. Our objective was to identify the most costly process steps and the impact of various parameters on the fi- nal production cost, e.g. plant capacity, raw material cost, and overall product yield, as well as process configuration. The variation in estimated etha

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) have attracted much attention recently because of their positive physiological effects. In this work, a rapid and reliable gas chromatographic method for determination of eight SCFAs, in colonic and faecal samples from rats and humans has been developed and validated. The methodology involves extraction of the SCFAs in water before a direct injection procedure on a

Apolipoprotein M (apoM) is a novel apolipoprotein presented mostly in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in human plasma. Previously we have reported that both leptin and leptin receptor are essential for apoM expression in vivo. The expression of apoM is lower in the leptin deficient (ob/ob) mouse and leptin receptor deficient (db/db) mouse than in the normal mouse. In the present study, however, we

Background: Oxytocin is released in response to a fatty meal. Blockage of the oxytocin receptor led to slower gastric emptying whereas stimulation resulted in less satiety in healthy volunteers. Patients with diabetes mellitus and gastroparesis lack oxytocin elevation, and dyspepsia is partly caused by reduced fundus accommodation causing early satiety and related symptoms. The aim of this study w

Phthalates are ubiquitous indoor pollutants which have been associated with child airway disease although results are inconclusive. This study examined associations between phthalate levels in residential indoor dust and croup during infancy. Settled indoor dust was collected in 482 homes of 6-month-old infants in the Swedish Environmental Longitudinal, Mother and child, Asthma and allergy (SELMA)

The escalating levels of heavy metals in soil, attributed to diverse sources, pose a pressing concern for human and animal health through their entry into the food chain. This study aimed to evaluate the uptake behavior of Cu, Zn, and Pb in carrots grown in different levels of contaminated soil (control, 30, 60, 90, 120 ppm) and to assess the associated health risks to mitigate the enrichment of h

Background: The utilization of PD1 and CTLA4 inhibitors has revolutionized the treatment of malignant melanoma (MM). However, resistance to targeted and immune-checkpoint-based therapies still poses a significant problem. Objective: Here, we mine large-scale MM proteogenomic data to identify druggable targets and forecast treatment efficacy and resistance. Methods: Leveraging protein profiles from

Objectives: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder in women of fertile age which may also affect the labor market attachment. We investigated labor market attachment trajectories among working age women diagnosed with PCOS. Methods: A cohort of 157,356 women born in 1975–1977 were followed annually between the ages of 30 and 39, using data from Swedish administrative registers.

Positioning is an essential feature in Narrow-Band Internet-of-Things (NB-IoT) systems. Observed Time Difference of Arrival is one of the supported positioning techniques for NB-IoT. It utilizes the downlink NB positioning reference signal (NPRS) generated based on a length-31 Gold sequence. Although a Gold sequence has good auto-correlation and cross-correlation properties, the correlation proper

The prevalence of anastomotic strictures in esophageal anastomoses provides us with limited information about the anastomotic healing process. This prospective study evaluates the exact esophageal anastomotic diameters in 256 patients who underwent esophagectomy and esophagogastrostomy without pyloroplasty (n = 107) or total gastrectomy and Roux reconstruction (n = 149). No perioperative chemoradi

The transformation of CO2 and green hydrogen into methanol presents a sustainable route for chemical and fuel production. Conventional methanol synthesis catalysts, such as Cu/ZnO/Al2O3, employ Al2O3 as a structural promoter, while Ga2O3 has recently emerged as a promising alternative. This study compares Cu-based catalysts supported on Al2O3 (CA) and Ga2O3 (CG), prepared via coprecipitation of la

This study systematically investigates the passivation and dissolution mechanisms of TC4 (Ti-6Al-4V) in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution using in situ electrochemical atomic force microscopy (ECAFM), complemented by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). Potentiodynamic polarization initially identified the electrochemical behavior of TC4, delineating passive, dissolv

Background: Uncomplicated lower urinary tract infections (UTIs) occur in approximately 50% of women, and 20–30% experience recurrent UTI. Data on UTIs and quality of life (QoL) in Europe are limited. Methods: This was an anonymous, self-administered web-based survey conducted in 5 countries (Germany, Switzerland, Poland, Russia and Italy), on adult women who had experienced recurrent UTI and were

This study investigated differences in HPA axis function, measured as salivary cortisol concentrations, between 18 women with chronic trapezius myalgia (MYA) and 30 healthy female controls (CON). In addition, the interactions between HPA axis reactions to psychosocial stress and aspects of pain, health and psychological symptoms were analyzed. Salivary cortisol was measured both in daily life, to

Objectives This systematic review aimed to identify published observational methods assessing biomechanical exposures in occupational settings and evaluate them with reference to the needs of different users. Methods We searched scientific databases and the internet for material from 1965 to September 2008. Methods were included if they were primarily based on the systematic observation of work, t

Tattoo ink on the European market has been reported to contain many human toxicants, which has raised concerns about health effects. Clarifying the exposure distribution in the population is key to understanding potential public health implications. We investigated the prevalence of tattoos in a population-based Swedish cohort of 13 046 individuals aged 20–68 years with exposure data collected thr

The concept of integrated risk management (IRM) has developed as a response to more interconnected and complex contexts. To investigate how the concept is used and what is meant with integration in the scientific literature, a research profiling was carried out across all kinds of risk management applications. 1094 publications from scientific journals, conference proceedings, and books were inclu
