As a promising carbon-free fuel, iron powder can directly combust with air and has great potential to provide clean and high-grad heat for various applications. The combustion characteristics of iron particles are of great significance for developing iron combustion model, designing efficient combustor, and optimizing combustion technologies. In this work, the micro-explosion behavior of burning i
Proton pumping nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase from Escherichia coli contains an alpha subunit with the NAD(H)-binding domain I and a beta subunit with the NADP(H)-binding domain III. The membrane domain (domain II) harbors the proton channel and is made up of the hydrophobic parts of the alpha and beta subunits. The interface in domain II between the alpha and the beta subunits has previ
Background: Epidemiological studies of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) show varying figures on prevalence and incidence, and data on the long-term prognosis are scarce. Objective To investigate the epidemiology, long-term prognosis and causes of death in a Swedish AIH cohort. Material and methods: Data collected from 634 AIH patients were matched to the Cause of Death Registry, and survival analyses we
BACKGROUND: Switching patients from a branded antiepileptic drug (AED) to a generic is often challenging. Several studies have shown that considerable proportions of patients report deteriorated seizure control or increased adverse effects, enforcing a switchback to the original drug. Since tolerability and seizure control usually correlate with AED serum concentrations, we examined the fluctuatio
Organo-metal halide perovskites are some of the most promising materials for the new generation of low-cost photovoltaic and light-emitting devices. Their solution processability is a beneficial trait, although it leads to a spatial inhomogeneity of perovskite films with a variation of the trap state density at the nanoscale. Comprehending their properties using traditional spectroscopy therefore
Abstract Background: The metabolic syndrome is regarded as an important risk factor for diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. Metabolic syndrome could be associated with impaired quality of life (QoL). Methods: The Women's Health in the Lund Area (WHILA) project covers 10,766 women born between December 2, 1935, and December 1, 1945, living in the Lund area, of Sweden by December 1, 1995.
The authors present in this paper how the extended Mie theory can be used to translate not only end-point data but also temporal variations of extinction peak-position changes, peak(t), into absolute mass uptake, (t), upon biomacromolecule binding to localized surface plasmon resonance (SPR) active nanoparticles (NPs). The theoretical analysis is applied on a novel sensor template composed of a th
Objective Establishing the cause of Cushing's syndrome can be a considerable challenge, in particular in ectopic ACTH syndrome, and often requires a combination of biochemical tests and imaging procedures. Subject A 27-year-old man presented with signs of Cushing's syndrome. P-ACTH levels were 3 times above the ULN and free urinary cortisol in the order of 1900 nmol/24 h. The work-up showed remark
Background: Polymorphism within the same species, population, and sex is an interesting problem for the evolutionary biologist, since differences in fitness between the morphs have to cancel out over evolutionary time, otherwise morphs of lower fitness would become extinct. One way this may be achieved is through the adoption of different morph-specific reproductive strategies, allowing morphs to
In this thesis work, a highly linear passive attenuator and mixer were designed to be used in a wide-band Transmission Observation Receiver (TOR). The TOR is a low IF receiver that accepts RF frequencies from 2GHz to 7GHz, and produces corresponding IF bandwidths of 280MHz to 990MHz respectively, using low side LO injection. The dynamic range is maximized by using passive topologies for both the a
Despite the issue of greywater management gaining more importance around the world, espe-cially in developing countries, it still remains a challenge in non-sewered areas of South Afri-ca. For a semi-arid country, reusing greywater on a household level has great potential as an alternative water source if done properly. On a household level, the popular repurposing of greywater is for irrigation
Lately, there has been great interest in performing free-energy perturbation (FEP) at the combined quantum mechanics and molecular mechanics (QM/MM) level, e.g. for enzyme reactions. Such calculations require extensive sampling of phase space, which typically is prohibitive with density-functional theory or ab initio methods. Therefore, such calculations have mostly been performed with semiempiric
The current, seemingly uninhibited, growth of AI technologies presents one of the most critical modern day quandaries. The magnitude of its potential to develop, necessitates a deeper look into the legal implications associated which this technology. This thesis aims to describe and analyse the obligations of complete data sets in Article 10 AIA and its relationship with article 5(c) GDPR, using t
Byggsektorn och asfaltbranschen behöver ta ytterligare steg mot mer hållbar och klimatsmart produktion. Det behövs b.la. utvecklas nya fossilfria förnyelsebara asfaltsprodukter. Ett av de viktigaste områdena är att ersätta råoljan som används för att tillverka det bituminösa bindemedlet. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka om man kan ersätta bitumen med den biobaserade produkten tallbecksolThe entire construction sector, as well as the asphalt industry, needs to head towards a more sustainable and climate-smart approach, step by step. New fossil-free products and renewable alternatives in the asphalt industry need to be developed, the greatest focus being on the binder in an attempt to expose the crude oil in the amount that is possible. The purpose of this study is to investigate w
The topic of fires in corners and along walls has been studied previously, however, two different studies conducted in 1987 and 2018 respectively, produced conflicting results regarding plume temperature for fires along walls, as well as hot gas layer temperature for both fires in corners and along walls. This thesis seeks to add data and clarification about fires in corners and along walls. T
