New mapping and laboratory studies of the impactites at the Gardnos impact structure (Norway) show a variety of impact-deformed rocks. Our mapping and petrographic analyses have subdivided these breccias into three distinct categories: (a) melt-bearing sueivitic breccias, melt-bearing polymict breccias; (b) melt-free, polymict lithic impact breccias; and (c) monomict lithic impact breccias. This i
BACKGROUND: There has been a growing body of evidence associating consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPF) with adverse health outcomes including depression, cardiovascular disease, all-cause mortality. However, whether UPF are associated with dementia is unknown. The authors investigated the associations between UPF and dementia incidence in UK biobank.METHODS: We included 72,083 participants (
The importance of providing mechanisms and tools that effectively support the transition from implicit to explicit representations of Learning Design has been emphasised by previous research in the field of Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL). In addition, the benefits of Game-based learning approaches have been long documented in the educational research literature. The paper presents the design,
Ice formation remains one of the most poorly represented microphysical processes in climate models. While primary ice production (PIP) parameterizations are known to have a large influence on the modeled cloud properties, the representation of secondary ice production (SIP) is incomplete and its corresponding impact is therefore largely unquantified. Furthermore, ice aggregation is another importa
Differential equations are an important building block for modeling processes in physics, biology, and social sciences. Usually, their exact solution is not known explicitly though. Therefore, numerical schemes to approximate the solution are of great importance. In this thesis, we consider the temporal approximation of nonlinear, nonautonomous evolution equations on a finite time horizon. We pres
The overall purpose of this paper is to contribute to the development of an internal crisis communication perspective. More precisely, we want to discuss and illuminate the need for an emergent, co-worker-oriented perspective on crises. Such a perspective implies a broader view on crises and a need to include change communication as an allied re-search field to crisis communication, and not at lea
Degradation of extracellular matrix, is a prerequisite for processes like tumor invasion and angiogenesis. Numerous studies indicate that plasminogen activation, initiated by u-PA, is a key process in malignant tumor growth. The expression of u-PA as well as its receptor is increased in malignant ovarian tumors. Additionally, u-PA stimulates signal transduction leading to cell proliferation and mi
Street art is a ubiquitous visual landmark in contemporary George Town, the capital city of Penang state in Malaysia. Both private commissioned and state-sanctioned types of street art are the new significant cultural identification of this World Heritage Site city as inscribed by UNESCO in 2008. Street art in this multicultural city becomes the articulated media that deals with the notion of cult
Background: It is well known that women suffer from negative consequences following breast cancer (BC) treatment and that their largely varying needs for rehabilitation are often unmet. Up to 43% of these women are at risk of developing chronic distress requiring complex interventions; however, how to early identify and meet these women's needs is unknown, leaving them with suboptimal chances of r
Context. In the era of large high-resolution spectroscopic surveys such as Gaia-ESO and APOGEE, high-quality spectra can contribute to our understanding of the Galactic chemical evolution by providing abundances of elements that belong to the different nucleosynthesis channels, and also by providing constraints to one of the most elusive astrophysical quantities: stellar age. Aims. Some abundance
This paper presents a measurement of the double-differential cross section for the Drell-Yan Z/γ∗ → ℓ+ℓ− and photon-induced γγ → ℓ+ℓ− processes where ℓ is an electron or muon. The measurement is performed for invariant masses of the lepton pairs, mℓℓ, between 116 GeV and 1500 GeV using a sample of 20.3 fb−1 of pp collisions data at centre-of-mass energy of s=8 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector a
The aim of this study was to investigate potential dose reductions to the heart, left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD), and ipsilateral lung for left-sided breast cancer using visually guided deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) with the optical surface scanning system Catalyst™, and how these potential dosimetric benefits are affected by intrafractional motion in between breath holds. For
Human activities and climate change affect hydrological and sedimentological characteristics within catchments. For arid and semiarid areas this induces direct negative economic and environmental consequences on society. In fact, stability in the rainfall regime and less siltation trapped in reservoirs mean more water for irrigation, water supply, and better flood control. This is especially impor
Abstract: Coagulation of cellulose solutions is a process whereby many useful materials with variable microstructures and properties can be produced. This study investigates the complexity of the phase separation that generates the structural heterogeneity of such materials. The ionic liquid, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([C2mim][OAc]), and a co-solvent, dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), are used t
I tidigare forskning om krig presenteras ofta ensidiga bilder av fenomenen krigsvåld, offerskap och försoning. Denna bok utgår från berättelser av överlevande efter kriget i Bosnien under 1990-talet. Syftet är att analysera hur de intervjuade beskriver dessa fenomen samt vilka diskursiva mönster som framträder i konstruktionen av begreppen ”offer” och ”förövare”. Mina frågeställningar är: Hur beskThis book analyzes verbally depicted experiences of survivors from the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. One purpose to describe how the actors portray the social phenomenon of “war violence” “victimhood” and “reconciliation”, and the second aim is to analyze discursive patterns that emerges in the creation of the terms “victim” and “perpetrator”. My research questions are: (1) How do the interviewee
Nitric oxide (NO) acts as a modulator of neuronal transmission in mature neuronal systems, including the retina. Recently, NO has also been suggested to have a trophic function during development. We examined immunocytochemically the distribution of NO-producing cells in developing and transplanted rabbit retinas. An antibody detecting the neuronal isoform of its biosynthetic enzyme, nitric oxide
