A novel S-scheme photocatalytic heterojunction composite nanomaterial is developed by integrating zero-dimensional WO3 quantum dots (WQDs) on two-dimensional ultrathin CdIn2S4 (CIS) nanosheets with the aim of fostering carrier separation, enhancing the performance of carrier interface transport, minimizing carrier distance transport, and achieving effective photocatalytic CO2 reduction. The compos
Apidaecin 1b (Api), the first characterized Type II Proline-rich antimicrobial peptide (PrAMP), is encoded in the honey bee genome. It inhibits bacterial growth by binding in the nascent peptide exit tunnel of the ribosome after the release of the completed protein and trapping the release factors. By genome mining, we have identified 71 PrAMPs encoded in insect genomes as pre-pro-polyproteins. Ha
We provide evidence of a positive effect of major infrastructure development on international trade, using the opening of the fixed link between Denmark and Sweden in 2000 (The Oresund Bridge) as a quasi-natural experiment. Our Synthetic Control Method (SCM) constructs a counterfactual Danish-Swedish trade relationship, which represents bilateral trade in the absence of the bridge. Evaluating actu
46 eligible patients with either anaplastic astrocytoma (AA) or glioblastoma (GBM) and clinical and computed-tomography-confirmed relapse following primary surgery and radiotherapy received oral tauromustine 130 mg/m2 every 5 weeks. A prospective design allowed for concurrent assessment of both clinical and radiological responses and drug toxicity. 41% of patients improved clinically whilst 46% im
Linear response theory for the multiconfigurational short-range density functional theory (MC-srDFT) model is extended to triplet response with a singlet reference wave function. The triplet linear response equations for MC-srDFT are derived for a general hybrid srGGA functional and implemented in the Dalton program. Triplet excitation energies are benchmarked against the CC3 model of coupled clus
INTRODUCTION: Study aim was to find out if patients with Lenke type 1 curve exhibit smaller pedicles and specific pedicle width pattern compared with individuals with no scoliosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 4,828 pedicle width measurements (T1-L5) in 61 consecutive patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis of Lenke type 1 curve, 61 control subjects, and 20 patients with Lenke type 5 curve, were
Alkaline ion-solvating membranes derived from a tetrazole functionalized poly(arylene alkylene) are prepared, characterized and evaluated as electrode separators in alkaline water electrolysis. The base polymer, poly[[1,1′-biphenyl]-4,4′-diyl(1,1,1-trifluoropropan-2-yl)], is synthesized by superacid catalyzed polyhydroxyalkylation and subsequently functionalized with tetrazole pendants. After equi
Medical decision-making is critical and the decisions are made under uncertain, complex, and dynamic conditions. In this regard, practitioners’ experiences and perceptions may provide a bottom-up knowledge of the issues, as well as a corresponding support system that assists them in learning to make decisions in critical situations. The current study aimed to examine these experiences in the Pakis
Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, where the base station (BS) is equipped with a large number of antennas and the mobile devices have a single antenna, can significantly enhance the system performance. In many wireless systems inter symbol interference (ISI) due to delay dispersion of the channel can dramatically affect the demodulation process of the received signals. Precodi
A study of Bc+→J/ψDs+ and Bc+→J/ψDs∗+ decays using 139 fb−1 of integrated luminosity collected with the ATLAS detector from s = 13 TeV pp collisions at the LHC is presented. The ratios of the branching fractions of the two decays to the branching fraction of the Bc+→ J/ψπ+ decay are measured: B(Bc+→J/ψDs+)/B(Bc+→J/ψπ+) = 2.76 ± 0.47 and B(Bc+→J/ψDs∗+)/B(Bc+→J/ψπ+) = 5.33 ± 0.96. The ratio of the b
Hernias are characterized by protrusion of an organ or tissue through its surrounding cavity and often require surgical repair. In this study we identify 65,492 cases for five hernia types in the UK Biobank and perform genome-wide association study scans for these five types and two combined groups. Our results show associated variants in all scans. Inguinal hernia has the most associations and we
Research demonstrates that digital technologies stimulate industrial transformation by enabling new interdependencies with firms outside and across firm and industry boundaries. However, we know little about the degree of novelty and breadth of digital technologies that have the potential to transform industries. Understanding the degree of novelty (spanning from radical to incremental) and breadt
The purpose of this study was to psychometrically test a Swedish translation of The Shame Inventory, originally developed by Rizvi (2010). Another purpose was to investigate the link between shame and psychopathology and specifically to borderline personality disorder. The psychometric properties of the Swedish version of The Shame Inventory were investigated, as well as the ability of the instrum
Plasmodium parasites are present in a wide range of host species, some of which tend to be more susceptible than others, potentially as an outcome of evolved tolerance or resistance. Common starlings seem to cope with malaria infection while common crossbills are more susceptible to the same infections. That raises the question if the parasites rely on the same molecular mechanisms regardless of h
This special issue explores the extraordinary luminescence properties of metal halide perovskites. Metal halide perovskites have emerged at the forefront of next-generation, thin-film semiconductors for photovoltaic and light-emitting applications. These materials exhibit remarkable optoelectronic properties such as long charge carrier diffusion lengths and high radiative emission efficiencies, wh
