We present results from the Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project (AgMIP) Global Gridded Crop Model Intercomparison (GGCMI) Phase I, which aligned 14 global gridded crop models (GGCMs) and 11 climatic forcing datasets (CFDs) in order to understand how the selection of climate data affects simulated historical crop productivity of maize, wheat, rice and soybean. Results show th

BACKGROUND: The Synergy between PCI with Taxus and Cardiac Surgery (SYNTAX) trial was a non-inferiority trial that compared percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using first-generation paclitaxel-eluting stents with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with de-novo three-vessel and left main coronary artery disease, and reported results up to 5 years. We now report 10-year all-cau

Objectives: To study how radiologists’ perceived ability to interpret digital mammography (DM) images is affected by decreases in image quality. Methods: One view from 45 DM cases (including 30 cancers) was degraded to six levels each of two acquisition-related issues (lower spatial resolution and increased quantum noise) and three post-processing-related issues (lower and higher contrast and incr

Solceller har en viktig roll att fylla för att uppnå politiskt fattade mål om 100%hållbart elsystem. Det är rimligt att anta att det är i bebyggelsen som en storutbyggnad kommer att behöva ske eftersom det är existerande strukturermed nätanslutningar där det också finns möjlighet att använda den solel somproduceras. Fastighetsägare blir därmed en viktig aktörsgrupp att engagera.En relativt outfors

The newer oral P2Y12 inhibitors prasugrel and ticagrelor have been reported to be more potent and faster-acting antiplatelet agents than clopidogrel. This study aimed to investigate whether prehospital loading with prasugrel or ticagrelor improves early coronary reperfusion as compared to prehospital loading with clopidogrel in a real-world ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) setting. Over

The autoimmune checkpoint during B cell maturation eliminates self-antigen reactive specificities from the mature B cell repertoire. However, an exception to this rule is illustrated by B-1 cells, an innate-like self-reactive B cell subset that is positively selected into the mature B cell pool in a self-antigen-driven fashion. The mechanisms by which B-1 cells escape central tolerance have puzzle

BACKGROUND: The transradial approach is associated with fewer bleeding complications during percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) but is more technically challenging and associated with prolonged times during intervention. The aim of this study is to retrospectively compare the results of radial vs. femoral approach in patients >or=80 years old undergoing primary or rescue PCI.METHODS: Betwee

A small-scale experiment for salinity-gradient solar pond has been constructed and operated at the Dead Sea area over a period of 3 months. The pond has a volume of 5m3 with dimensions of (L, H, W) as 2.0, 2.0 and 1,25 meter respectively. The two parameters temperature and salinity concentration profiles were evaluated through the measurements of the solar pond with respect to time. The experiment

We provide a brief overview of the educational history of Denmark and document archival and printed sources covering the development of primary, secondary, and tertiary education. In particular, we focus on student grade lists, which are available for individuals at all levels of education from the early nineteenth century until well into the twentieth century. We suggest that these can be used to

This doctoral thesis consists of four independent research papers. All papers are empirical and cover the area of financial market risk, with a particular focus on systemic risk and volatility in financial markets.The first paper analyzes the joint effect of centrality and other characteristics that are essential in determining banks’ systemic importance. Specifically, centrality is treated as a m

The dissolution of Yugoslavia in the nineties brought a series of armed conflicts, civil wars and outright war to the Balkan Peninsula. The Serbian Orthodox Church (SOC) was entangled in these conflicts. The SOC’s involvement in these wars has sparked an academic discussion about the role of religion, especially that of the SOC, in these conflicts. This discussion has so far mainly been social sci
