Emissions from biomass burning are highly variable and depend on combustion conditions as well as fuel properties. Simultaneous emissions from pyrolysis, smouldering, and combustion of the biomass material(s) burning leads to uncertainties in how these processes contribute to emissions of individual or groups of compounds as well as to total particle emissions. These uncertainties are difficult to

Between 1850 and 1930, millions of Europeans emigrated to the United States, attracted by opportunities for a better life. We study the role of migrant networks in fostering emigration, using individual-level Swedish full-count census data for men and women, linked to emigration records. Our findings show that having previously migrating siblings was an important determinant of emigration, particu

The formation of a lipid vesicle from a lamellar phase involves a cost in bending energy of 100–1000 times the thermal energy for values of the membrane bending rigidity κ typical for phospholipid bilayers. The bending rigidity of a bilayer is however a strongly decreasing function of its thickness h, and the bilayer can thus reduce its bending energy by stretching (and thus thinning) the bilayer.

This article examines the relation between nation and nature in Spain during the Spanish Civil War and post-war years. As in other European cases of fascist and parafascist regimes, the Francoist regime mobilised nature for political and nationalistic goals. Spanish nature embodied the essences of the ‘true Spain’ and was seen as key to the regeneration of the country. The regime assumed an agrari

The tyrosine residue in amyloid-β (Aβ) is susceptible to attack by various reactive nitrogen intermediates, leading to the formation of 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT), a post-translational modification associated with the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Although considered a “dead-end” product, emerging evidence suggests that 3-NT can be reduced to 3-aminotyrosine (3-AT) in vivo. This study a

This report examines the evolving political discourse in Ireland in the lead-up to the 2024 local, general and European elections, focusing on the potential rise of far-right populism. Traditionally dominated by centrist parties, and with an increasingly progressive trajectory of referendums, Ireland has long been viewed as an exception to the European trend of far-right mobilisation. However, rec

IMPORTANCE Adherence to the Mediterranean Diet (MedDiet) has been associated with a lower incidence of cancer and reduced weight gain. These associations suggest a potential role for the MedDiet in lowering the risk of obesity-related cancers (ORCs). Obesity is a known risk factor for various cancers and shows an inverse association with MedDiet adherence. OBJECTIVE To examine the association betw

People derive contrastive inferences when interpreting adjectives (e.g., inferring that 'the short pencil' is being contrasted with a longer one). However, classic eye-tracking studies revealed contrastive inferences with scalar and material adjectives, but not with color adjectives. This was explained as a difference in listeners' informativity expectations, since color adjectives are often used

We show that for a positive linear operator acting in ℓ2 and defined from anxn+1 + bn xn + an-1xn-1 its so-called Friedrichs and Krein extensions may be explicitly characterized by boundary conditions as n → ∞.

The Stieltjes-Wigert polynomials, which correspond to an indeterminate moment problem on the positive half-line, are eigenfunctions of a second order q-difference operator. We consider the orthogonality measures for which the difference operator is symmetric in the corresponding weighted L2-spaces. Under some additional assumptions these measures are exactly the solutions to the q-Pearson equation

The chromosomes of 13 primary and 4 secondary Rous sarcomas (RSV–SR) in the rat have been studied in fixations directly from the tumour. The general character of the chromosomal spectrum in the primary sarcomas was similar to that of the Rous sarcomas in the mouse and the Chinese hamster. However, normal diploid stemlines were considerably more frequent in the rat sarcomas; among the heteroploid s

This study explores the designs and dynamics of past, present, and potential mediation and negotiation efforts to stop the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Applying insights from mediation and negotiation literature, the article explores three questions relating to negotiating peace in Ukraine: who is best positioned to negotiate or mediate such a process (who should be presented at the table), when s

The chapter examines the environmental impacts of car sharing (CS) by synthesising insights from literature, fieldwork and empirical research. While most studies highlight direct effects such as reduced greenhouse gas emissions and decreased private car ownership, this chapter emphasises the importance of exploring indirect environmental implications, including changes in disposable income and con

The doctoral period is often described as a linear path, omitting the human dimensions of becoming a scholar. In this volume, the imaginary of the PhD education in Sweden is expanded through the metaphor of the PhD wanderer— an early-career academic venturing into unknown terrains, sometimes becoming lost, at other times finding exciting directions, committing to new routes, and encountering new t
