Full-field transmission X-ray microscopy (TXM) is a well established technique, available at various synchrotron beamlines around the world as well as by laboratory benchtop devices. One of the major TXM challenges, due to its nanometre-scale resolution, is the overall instrument stability during the acquisition of the series of tomographic projections. The ability to correct for vertical and hori

Intersectional studies are expanding and generating vital and much-needed theoretical debate in the discipline of feminist/gender studies. The aim of this article is to contribute to the debate through a critical reflection over the process of translation through which the concept has been introduced, interpreted and acted upon in Swedish gender studies. The purpose is also to bridge the concept o

In many fMRI task-evoked studies, localized brain activity can be detected by GLM fitting and statistical hypothesis testing. Statistical parametric mapping (SPM) is the classical method that requires Gaussian pre-smoothing of the data. Instead, the wavelet transform provides a compact representation of activation patterns. Wavelet based SPM (WSPM) is an extension of SPM that combines wavelet proc

The electronic spectrum of the azurin Met121Gln mutant, a model of the blue copper protein stellacyanin, has been studied by ab initio multiconfigurational second-order perturbation theory (the CASPT2 method), including the effect of the protein and solvent by point charges. The six lowest electronic transitions have been calculated and assigned with an error of less than 2400 cm-1. The ground-sta

We demonstrate the construction and utilization of an affordable apparatus using readily available materials to accurately measure in a quantitative manner the wavelengths reflected by a compact disc (CD) under skimming light rays. In fact, only a limited number of wavelengths can be revealed when light rays from a white lamp are directed at a CD (or a DVD) in a manner that specifically selects th

Organic-inorganic heterostructures play a pivotal role in modern electronic and optoelectronic applications including photodetectors and field effect transistors, as well as in solar energy conversion such as photoelectrodes of dye-sensitized solar cells, photoelectrochemical cells, and in organic photovoltaics. To a large extent, performance of such devices is controlled by charge transfer dynami

A depersonalization episode occurred unexpectedly during an electroencephalogram (EEG) recording for a study.Experience reports tracked the time course of this event and, in conjunction, with EEG data, were analyzed. Thesource activity across canonical frequency bands was analyzed across four periods ended by retrospectiveexperience reports (depersonalization was reported in the 2nd period). Delta

With the growing possibilities in genetic testing, the number of genetic disorders associated with dystonia has constantly increased over the last few years. Accurate phenotyping is crucial to guide and interpret genetic analyses in the search for an etiological diagnosis. Although eye movements examination has proven a valuable tool in the assessment of patients with inherited movement disorders

Om filmatiseringen av Axel Wallengrens (Falstaff, fakirs) novell "Ett svårskött pastorat" (1958).

I denna artikel tar jag upp ett berättargrepp, den narrativa syllepsen, som inte fått någon större uppmärksamhet i litteraturteorin hittills. Den narrativa syllepsen definierades först av den franske litteraturteoretikern Gérard Genette år 1972 som ett berättargrepp där olika temporaliteter smälter samman. Begreppet har dock inte använts i någon större utsträckning därefter, vilket jag anser vara In this article I discuss a narrative device, the narrative syllepsis, which has not received much attention in literary theory until now. The narrative syllepsis was first defined by French literary theorist Gérard Genette as a narrative device where different temporalities merge. The concept has however not been used att a larger scale after Genette, something I find surprising taking into consi

A sensitive and selective amperometric biosensor, based on NADH-oxidase (NADOx) working in tandem with horseradish peroxidase (HRP), which is electrically connected to graphite electrode via Os-redox polymer (RP), was developed. Two designs were considered for the biosensor optimization: (i) the first one, [G/HRP-NADOx], exploited the direct electron transfer between HRP and the graphite electrode

Objective This study assessed pesticide exposure of children in rural Nicaragua in relation to parental pesticide use, from around conception to current school age, as part of an epidemiological evaluation of neurodevelopment effects. Methods We included 132 children whose parents were subsistence farmers or plantation workers, or had an agricultural history. As proxies for children's long-term ex

Yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius (Poepp. and Endl.) H. Robinson) is a storage root originally grown in the Andean highlands. The fresh roots are perishable and quickly turn brown during handling and processing. Aiming to prolong shelf-life and to preserve the antioxidant compounds in yacon roots, 3 mm thick yacon slices were dried in a drying cabinet at 40, 50, and 60 degrees C to a moisture conten

After 50 years the Alliance for Progress was launched, the policies for territorial planning in Latin America have proved to fail. The WB and the IADB, instruments of the US international politics for the consolidation of its global and regional hegemony, are its main financial and doctrinaire sources. These agencies’ logics prevail in the general and territorial planning. In the aftermath of the
