Six strains isolated from fermented food were by 16S rDNA sequencing identified as Weissella species, clustering with the species-pair W. confusa/ W. cibaria. The strains were analysed for growth on glucose, xylose and xylooligosaccharides (XOS). All strains were xylose positive using the API CHL 50 test. Growth on XOS was observed for strain 85, 92, 145 and AV1, firstly by optical density measure
The difficulties of demonstrating that any specific form of psychotherapy is more effective than any other has led to the formulation of the so-called Dodo Bird Verdict (that all forms of therapy are equally effective) and to the suggestion that what really matters for therapeutic efficiency are factors that are common to different forms of therapy. The term “common factors”, however, is seldom de
The objective was to estimate the cost-effectiveness of TNF-inhibitors for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis in Swedish clinical practice, both as a first and second biological treatment, with or without the combination of conventional DMARDs. Further sub-group analysis of etanercept treatment was performed. Patient level data were obtained from three regions of the Swedish Rheumatology Regist
This paper reports for the first time the application of sol-gel microarrays for immobilizing nonsoluble small chemicals (Bisphenol-A; BPA). Also, known problems of sol-gel adhesion to conventional microtiter well plate substrates are circumvented by anchoring the sol-gel microspots to a porous silion surface so-called, PS-SG chips. We confirmed low molecular weight chemical immobilization inside
Unprecedented global challenges demand wide-reaching societal modification to ensure life support functions and human well-being. In the absence of adequate international responses to climate change and the need for place-based adaptation, local governments have a pivotal role in fostering sustainability transitions. In this context, the importance of ecosystem-based adaptation is increasingly rec
Upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) have recently shown great potential as contrast agents in biological applications. In developing different UCNPs, the characterization of their quantum yield (QY) is a crucial issue, as the typically drastic decrease in QY for low excitation power densities can either impose a severe limitation or provide an opportunity in many applications. The power density dep
The application of detailed chemistry to the computational fluid dynamics simulation of combustion process in diesel engines has many potentials, including the possibility to predict auto-ignition, diffusion flame structure, stabilisation and soot formation in a wide range of operating conditions, also taking into account the effects of different fuel types. Among the approaches that were proposed
Hypothesis: Sodium dioctylsulfosuccinate (Aerosol OT or NaAOT) is a well-studied charging agent for model poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) latexes dispersed in nonpolar alkane solvents. Despite this,few controlled variations have been made to the molecular structure. A series of counterion exchanged analogs of NaAOT with other alkali metals (lithium, potassium, rubidium, and cesium) were prepared,
Energy management in cold logistics is critical for sustainable cold chain transportation. However, conventional reactive temperature control strategies often induce excessive energy consumption and mechanical wear due to rigid air temperature tracking and inability to anticipate system thermal dynamics. Guided by the Design Science Research (DSR) methodology, this study proposes a simulation-base
This thesis develops a Fourier-feature DeepONet surrogate model for predicting two-dimensional steady laminar flow fields around a rotating triangular obstacle. The aim is to learn the mapping from the obstacle rotation angle to the corresponding pressure, x-velocity, and y-velocity fields. A CFD dataset containing 121 cases was generated using ANSYS Fluent, covering rotation angles from 0° to 120
Non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) are expected to become an important component of future sixth-generation (6G) wireless systems by extending broadband coverage to remote, maritime, aerial, and underserved areas. Among different NTN platforms, low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations are particularly attractive due to their lower propagation delay compared with geostationary systems. However,
Many consumers say they want to shop more sustainably. But most retail websites do not make that easy. Walk through a typical online furniture store, and you will find sustainability information buried in product specifications or tucked away behind a separate filter tab. This happens right when you are already trying to balance price, looks, and whether the thing will actually fit in your living
Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecological malignancy, with treatment heavily relying on platinum-based chemotherapy. However, resistance frequently develops, posing a major clinical challenge that underscores the need for new approaches. In this study, we investigated the phosphoproteomic landscape underlying cisplatin resistance, which remains poorly understood. A parental CAOV3 ovarian can
Milk protein compositions play a pivotal role in physicochemical and technological properties of milk, particularly in rennet coagulation in cheese production. Conventional analytical methods such as sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and liquid chromatography–high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) provide detailed protein characterization but require long an
This thesis presents an automated pipeline developed for reconstructing the 3D flight trajectories of bats navigating a cave environment purely from multi-channel audio recordings. The pipeline was developed and validated using the Ushichka dataset which contains multiple simultaneous audio and video recordings of bats in their natural habitat, the Orlova Chuka cave in Bulgaria. The proposed pipel
This project involved the testing and establishment of a base combustion procedure for the newly acquired Raddec Gen IV PYROLYSER and focused on the optimization and correction of the laboratory’s previous liquid scintillation counting (LSC) procedure using the Hidex 300 SL. The pyrolyser was verified to be operational and achieve satisfactory and consistent recoveries across the 6 combustion tub
This guide Addressing Inner Dimensions for Sustainability in Higher Education is aimed at Higher Education faculty from diverse disciplines. The target group is interested in expanding their sustainability knowledge and perspectives, integrating sustainability into their teaching practices, and enhancing their sustainability-related teaching approach by addressing inner dimensions.
