Semi-visible jets, with a significant contribution to the event's missing transverse momentum, can arise in strongly interacting dark sectors. This results in an event topology where one of the jets can be aligned with the direction of the missing transverse momentum. The first search for semi-visible jets produced via a t-channel mediator exchange is presented. The analysis uses proton-proton col
Late radiation-induced kidney toxicity limits molecular radionuclide therapy using radiopharmaceuticals such as 177Lu-octreotate and 177Lu-octreotide. Better kidney protection would allow higher amounts of radiopharmaceutical to be administered. Coadministration of recombinant human alpha-1-microglobulin (rA1M) has been suggested to protect kidneys from exposure from 177Lu-octreotate. Furthermore,
Self-care interventions for sexual and reproductive health (SRH), including HIV self-testing, self-injected contraception and self-managed abortion, offer promising pathways to advance universal health coverage, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. While often framed as cost-saving measures, this paper argues that self-care should be understood as a strategic investment in health syst
Context: Anomaly detection is crucial for maintaining cloud-based software systems, as it enables early identification and resolution of unexpected failures. Given rapid and significant advances in the anomaly detection domain and the complexity of its industrial implementation, an overview of techniques that utilize real-world operational data is needed. Aim: This study aims to complement existin
Stabell and Fjeldstad (1998) proposed three value configurations; the value shop, the value chain and the value network based on Thompson’s (1967) three technologies as a typology. However, that Thompson’s technologies constitute a typology has been criticized (cf Barbini and Neri, 2017). Also, research has highlighted increased shifts in value configurations and hybrid forms. Thus, the question a
The increasing use of digital tools in archaeology has vastly expanded our capacity to document and visualise the past, yet the reasoning that connects evidence to interpretation often remains implicit or undocumented. This paper addresses that gapby integrating Inference to the Best Explanation (IBE)—a philosophical model of hypothesis evaluation—into the Archaeological Interactive Report (AIR),
The Industrial Symbiosis Readiness Level Matrix (ISRLM) tool presented in this paper, was developed to address the challenges inherent in implementing and managing Industrial Symbiosis (IS) networks. IS networks are complex systems involving diverse actors with varying levels of preparedness, perspectives, and priorities, which can result in miscommunication, inefficiencies, and slow implementatio
USP11 is a promising therapeutic target implicated in Alzheimer’s disease and various cancers; however, no specific inhibitors are currently available, with the only known inhibitor being mitoxantrone, which primarily targets topoisomerase II. To identify novel chemical starting points, we conducted high-throughput virtual screening using a USP11 homology model. Screening over 600,000 compounds yi
This study investigates the practical integration of Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Building Energy Modelling (BEM) for energy-efficient building design. This research explores the challenges and opportunities of openBIM-to-BEM workflows by drawing on a literature review and a real-world case study in Östergötland County, typical of the Million Programme, a large public housing initiativ
Purpose: Cardiac diffusion tensor imaging (cDTI) can investigate the microstructure of heart tissue. At sufficiently high b-values, additional information on microstructure can be observed, but the data require a representation such as diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI). cDTI is prone to image corruption, which is usually treated with shot rejection but which can be handled more generally with robus
The aim of this study was to assess aquifer salinity risk by identifying high-risk land-use zones and proposing a new paradigm for groundwater resource management under salinization pressure. Salinity risk modeling was conducted with consideration of land-use patterns and agricultural production in the study region. The results revealed that approximately 26% of the aquifer lies within high-risk s
The liver is a central metabolic hub, performing vital functions such as bile production, protein, carbohydrate, lipid and drug metabolism, detoxification of xenobiotics, and the synthesis of essential biomolecules for reproduction, and also shows regenerative capability. Several of these functions can be affected by sexual dimorphisms with important consequences. In this study we used high-throug
Capacities for source localization in response to incidents involving radioactive materials are essential for effective, efficient response. In this context, the directional response of a detection system is of importance. Many solutions currently employed for source localization involve approaches that may be onerous with respect to cost, complexity and practicality for field operations. To avoid
This work is devoted to the development and comprehensive validation of a new interatomic potential for bcc and hcp refractory alloys based on the Wsingle bondMosingle bondNbsingle bondTasingle bondZrsingle bondTi system. The presented model allows the simulation of various structural transformations, as well as the behavior of crystal defects in several of the phases observed in this system. The
This study examines farmers' willingness to sell straw for energy and material applications in Scania, Sweden. Using interviews and surveys, we tested three empirical consequences derived from the premise that missing data on farmers' willingness to sell straw for energy may misrepresent the biomass supply in potential assessments. Findings reveal willingness to sell straw depends on end use, with
Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by a set of motor symptoms that depend on nigrostriatal dopaminergic degeneration and respond well to pharmacological dopamine replacement using L-DOPA. However, replacing dopamine with either L-DOPA or dopamine receptor agonists leads to the appearance of motor and nonmotor complications within a few years. Strong emphasis is currently placed on developin
BackgroundSome patients scheduled for cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) only undergo explorative laparotomy (open/close procedure) due to extensive tumor spread or challenges in achieving complete cytoreduction (CC0). This study aimed to evaluate the surgical outcomes and overall survival in patients with peritoneal surface malignancy (PSM) who only
