Hirshfeld atom refinement (HAR) provides a more realistic interpretation of crystallographic data than the standard independent atom model (IAM) by using aspherical atomic form factors derived from quantum mechanical (QM) calculations. With this aspherical description, it is possible to obtain improved atomic positions, atomic displacement parameters and correct bond lengths even for hydrogen atom
Context. Despite the ever-increasing number of known exoplanets, no uncontested detections have been made of their satellites, known as exomoons. Aims. The quest to find exomoons is at the forefront of exoplanetary sciences. Certain space-born instruments are thought to be suitable for this purpose. We show the progress made with the CHaracterising ExOPlanets Satellite (CHEOPS) in this field using
The transcriptional mechanisms underlying tooth development are only beginning to be understood. Pitx2, a bicoid-like homeodomain transcription factor, is the first transcriptional marker observed during tooth development. Because Pitx2, Msx2, and Dlx2 are expressed in the dental epithelium, we examined the transcriptional activity of PITX2 in concert with Msx2 and the Dlx2 promoter. PITX2 activat
What difference can local participation make in a world where inequality increases everywhere, where segregation pulls communities apart and where policymakers marginalise the needs and interests of the people whose lives their decisions affect the most? This question was central two decades ago when research on participatory institutions took off. Leftist scholars described participatory budgetinWhat difference can local participation make in a world where inequality increases everywhere, where segregation pulls communities apart and where policymakers marginalise the needs and interests of the people whose lives their decisions affect the most?

Context The context of this research is software process improvement (SPI) success factors for small and medium Web companies. Objective The primary objective of this paper is to propose a theoretical framework of SPI success factors for small and medium Web companies. Method The theoretical framework presented in this study aggregated the results of three previous research phases by applying prin
In order to provide clinical utility for research of how art therapists perceive clients’ inner change, the authors created a structured observational framework. This note-taking and assessment consist of five themes and sub-themes: Therapeutic Alliance, Creating, Affect-Awareness, Self-Awareness, and Ego-Strength. The framework was designed to be clinically-friendly, adaptable to various settings
Introduction: People living with acromegaly and neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) may be treated with injectable somatostatin receptor ligands (SRLs), administered by either a caregiver or as self-injection via a proprietary or generic device. Injection device attributes that contribute to ease of use and storage, minimise preparation requirements, and reduce injection pain are associated with improve
This paper discusses a Python interface for the recently published Dune-Fem-DG module which provides highly efficient implementations of the discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method for solving a wide range of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). Although the C++ interfaces of Dune-Fem-DG are highly flexible and customizable, a solid knowledge of C++ is necessary to make use of this powerful
Oat (Avena sativa L.) is an important and nutritious cereal crop, and there is a growing need to identify genes that contribute to improved oat varieties. Here we utilize a newly sequenced and annotated oat reference genome to locate and characterize quantitative trait loci (QTLs) affecting agronomic and grain-quality traits in five oat populations. We find strong and significant associations betw
Numerous biological mechanisms contribute to outcome after stroke, including brain injury, inflammation, and repair mechanisms. Clinical genetic studies have the potential to discover biological mechanisms affecting stroke recovery in humans and identify intervention targets. Large sample sizes are needed to detect commonly occurring genetic variations related to stroke brain injury and recovery.
Willingness to pay (WTP) for booster doses of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines is an under studied research topic. Therefore, the current study aimed to investigate the WTP for the booster doses of COVID-19 vaccines and its predictors in Indonesia using an online survey distributed all over the provinces of this low-middle-income country. The WTP was evaluated using a basic dichotomous
This paper explores the validity of assuming the existence of a Swedish R&D paradox based on the relationship between R&D expenditures and economic growth, and what implications the existence of such a paradox ought to have on policies that concern R&D expenditure. Consequently, in the first instance, the relationship between Gross Expenditure on Research & Development (GERD) and G
Despite the availability of methods for analyzing protein complexes, systematic analysis of complexes under multiple conditions remains challenging. Approaches based on biochemical fractionation of intact, native complexes and correlation of protein profiles have shown promise. However, most approaches for interpreting cofractionation datasets to yield complex composition and rearrangements betwee
In order to investigate the possible causes of premature thermal breakdown and performance degradation, several diagnostic techniques have been employed during the vertical tests of the Fine and Large Grain ESS Medium Beta prototypes cavities. The whole equipment, which includes second sound, fast thermometry, photodiode x ray detectors and external NaI scintillator and proportional counter, is he
Covalent-functionalized graphene nanoplatelets (CF-GNPs) inside a circular heated-pipe and the subsequent pressure decrease loss within a fully developed turbulent flow were discussed in this research. Four samples of nanofluids were prepared and investigated in the ranges of 0.025 wt.%, 0.05 wt.%, 0.075 wt.%, and 0.1 wt.%. Different tools such as field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SE
Factors that affect and influence industrial symbiosis (IS) collaborations have been re-searched extensively in the literature, where they are mostly reported at a network level or for IS in general, and lack the individual actor’s perspective. This review article contributes to and expands knowledge of influencing factors and their effect on the individual actor. In a systematic review, guided by
Safety routines such as the WHO surgical safety checklist and SBAR have gained widespread attention and implementation in healthcare. However, there has also been criticism. With the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the need for knowledge about how safety routines work in practice is larger than ever. In light of these obstacles, I suggest two approaches to the study of healthcare safety routines, based
Metal oxide nanoparticles are essential in various applications, and the synthesis through gas-phase generation methods offers a rapid and reliable pathway for nanoparticle production. Yet achieving precise control over their formation remains challenging due to the complex nature of oxidation processes. While bulk oxidation states can be assessed via off-line measurements, the dynamic nature of s
The durability of existing infrastructures is a worldwide challenge in structural engineering. Societal demands for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, coupled with the financial constraints faced by many countries, push infrastructure management companies and owners to extend the lifespan of existing structures. However, extending the lifespan comes with a set of problems related to safety and tim
