The modified sample-standard bracketing method (m-SSB) combines a sample-standard bracketing and an inter-element correction procedure to account for instrumental mass fractionation during multi-collector ICP-MS measurements. Precisions for Cu and Zn isotopes in plant and experimental granite leachate samples are in line with those obtained using other mass bias correction techniques. In addition,
BACKGROUND: The impact of the sustainable EAT-Lancet planetary health diet on brain and cognitive health remains unclear. This study compared the impact of the EAT-Lancet diet with the well-established cognitive-beneficial Mediterranean diet (MeDi) in relation to neuroimaging biomarkers and cognitive performance among older adults.METHODS: The study included 615 dementia-free 70-year-olds from the
Stable carbon isotope curves derived from Lower Triassic carbonate rocks from three Iranian sections are established to investigate changes in the carbon cycle during the Early Triassic in this area. The sections are located in the south-center (Abadeh), north (Amol), and northwest (Zal) of Iran. All three curves show a similar pattern starting out with high δ13C values in the uppermost Permian de
This Letter presents a search for highly ionizing magnetic monopoles in (Formula presented) of ultraperipheral (Formula presented) collision data at (Formula presented) collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. A new methodology that exploits the properties of clusters of hits reconstructed in the innermost silicon detector layers is introduced to study highly ionizing particles in heavy-ion dat
Numerical models of meteorite delivery from impacts on the Moon have demonstrated that the impact event forming the lunar crater Tycho (~85 km diameter; ca. 109 Ma age) would have delivered considerable amounts of ejected material to Earth. The ejecta, containing lunar Ti- and V-rich chrome spinels, would have been distributed globally and admixed with seafloor sediments over a few meters of a typ
The current novel study aims was to development and characterization of gum based (guar gum: almond gum) composite formulations with or without addition of oregano essential oils to extend the shelf life of okra at ambient condition. In this study, the optimized composite of guar gum: almond gum (75:25 V/V) prepared with addition of different concentrations (0.05, 0.1 and 0.15 % (V/V) of oregano e
(1) Background: The Berlin questionnaire (BQ) is a widely used survey to predict obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Considering the confounding effect of obesity and hypertension on the clinical course of COVID-19, we have recently developed a modified BQ (mBQ) based on the subscales snoring intensity/frequency, witnessed apneas and morning/daytime tiredness, and demonstrated that patients with high-r
A search for a WZ resonance, in the fully leptonic final state (electrons or muons), is performed using 139 fb - 1 of data collected at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The results are interpreted in terms of a singly charged Higgs boson of the Georgi–Machacek model, produced by WZ fusion, and of a Heavy Vector Triplet, with the resonance produc
A search for leptoquarks decaying into the bτ final state is performed using Run 2 proton-proton collision data from the Large Hadron Collider, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb −1 at s = 13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector. The benchmark models considered in this search are vector leptoquarks with electric charge of 2/3e and scalar leptoquarks with an electric charge of 4/3e.
Abstract in Danish:En nærmere undersøgelse af baggrunden for de reformer, som Manuel I Komnenos (1118-80) forsøgte at indføre mod slutningen af sin regeringstid, viser at disse forsøg udsprang af en tidligere knæsat holdning i Byzans over for Islam. Hvad Manuel ønskede at gøre var at bringe sin religionspolitik i tråd hermed og med den der blev ført i det konkurrerende emirat i Ikonium (Konya), me
OBJECTIVES: Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score is the basis of the Sepsis-3 criteria and requires arterial blood gas analysis to assess respiratory function. Peripheral oxygen saturation is a noninvasive alternative but is not included in neither Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score nor Sepsis-3. We aimed to assess the association between worst peripheral oxygen saturation during onset
Cervical pathology may contribute to residual problems after surgery for ulnar nerve compression. We aimed to evaluate the presence of pathological conditions in spinal cord and cervical spinal nerve roots in patients surgically treated for ulnar nerve compression at elbow. In a cohort of patients, surgically treated for ulnar nerve compression at elbow, magnetic resonance images (MRI; performed 3
In KEYNOTE-564, adjuvant pembrolizumab, a PD-1 antibody, significantly improved disease-free survival (DFS) in localised clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) with a high risk of relapse. In 2021, the European Association of Urology RCC Guidelines Panel issued a weak recommendation for adjuvant pembrolizumab for high-risk ccRCC as defined by the trial until final overall survival data and result
A first glance Korean and Danish seem to be seemingly far apart each other in every linguistic aspect, from the grammar over pronunciation to the written language, not to mention the elaborated polite-conjugations we find in Korean compared to the Danes’ habit of saying ‘you’ (‘du’) to just about everyone. However, both languages have, from the latter half of the 20th century to nowadays, received
The major form of complement component C4b-binding protein, a regulator of the complement system, is composed of seven identical 70-kDa alpha chains, each containing a binding site for the complement protein C4b. We recently showed that C4b-binding protein also contains a unique 45-kDa beta chain. It is disulfide-linked to the central core and contains a binding site for the vitamin K-dependent pr
OBJECTIVES: The Swedish surveillance system aiming to reveal undetected Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) in workers exposed for vibrations is regulated by the provision AFS 2019:3. The goal for the surveillance system is to diagnose HAVS, as well as to find workers at risk for developing HAVS due to other conditions. The national guidelines stipulate examination using at least two out of four ha
A key aspect of imperialism, colonialism, and capitalism is frontier-making. Frontiers are essential for ambitions of appropriation and extraction. This paper explores the discursive practices of frontier-making in Scandinavia including the conceptualization of parts of this region as empty space and ripe for exploitation, as wild, unruly and in need of domestication. These regions have historical
Given the assumptions of rational choice, this essay explicates the distributive consequences of different ethical positions and how the relationship between eth-ics and distributions provides a rationale for a struggle for moral authority for the purpose of procuring distributive shares. The argument provides a partial answer to the question of why there is political struggle in all human societi
