Spin electronic devices based on crystalline oxide layers with nanoscale thicknesses involve complex structural and magnetic phenomena, including magnetic domains and the coupling of the magnetism to elastic and plastic crystallographic distortion. The magnetism of buried nanoscale layers has a substantial impact on spincaloritronic devices incorporating garnets and other oxides exhibiting the spi
Context. NGC 2264 is a young cluster whose accretion properties can be investigated in detail by taking advantage of the FLAMES data in the context of the Gaia-ESO Survey. In fact, the analysis of the Hα emission line profile can provide us with information about the accretion and ejection activity of young stars. However, a strong nebular emission that contributes to the Hα emission can alter the
Peatlands and forests cover large areas of the boreal biome and are critical for global climate regulation. They also regulate regional climate through heat and water vapour exchange with the atmosphere. Understanding how land-atmosphere interactions in peatlands differ from forests may therefore be crucial for modelling boreal climate system dynamics and for assessing climate benefits of peatland
Smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) is an asymptomatic precursor state of multiple myeloma (MM). Recently, MM was redefined to include biomarkers predicting a high risk of progression from SMM, thus necessitating a redefinition of SMM and its risk stratification. We assembled a large cohort of SMM patients meeting the revised IMWG criteria to develop a new risk stratification system. We included 199
We present here the optical properties of humic-like substances (HULIS) isolated from the fine fraction of biomass-burning aerosol collected in the Amazon basin during the LBA-SMOCC (Large scale Biosphere atmosphere experiment in Amazonia - SMOke aerosols, Clouds, rainfall and Climate) experiment in September 2002. From the isolated HULIS, aerosol particles were generated and their scattering and
Spectral aerosol light absorption is an important parameter for the assessment of the radiation budget of the atmosphere. Although on-line measurement techniques for aerosol light absorption, such as the Aethalometer and the Particle Soot Absorption Photometer (PSAP), have been available for two decades, they are limited in accuracy and spectral resolution because of the need to deposit the aeroso
As part of the Large Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiment in Amazonia - Smoke, Aerosols, Clouds, Rainfall and Climate (LBA-SMOCC) campaign, detailed surface and airborne aerosol measurements were performed over the Amazon Basin during the dry to wet season from 16 September to 14 November 2002. Optical and physical properties of aerosols at the surface, and in the boundary layer (BL) and free tro
We characterized particulate emissions from vegetation fires by burning Indonesian and German peat and other biomass fuels in a controlled laboratory setting. By measuring cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) both as a function of particle diameter (dp) and supersaturation (S), we discovered particles in peat smoke that were not activated to cloud droplets at high S (1.6%). These hydrophobic particles
Mycket av den digitala datainsamlingen av personers information sker utan att konsumenterna är medvetna om det eller ens har någon praktisk möjlighet att påverka. Detta får direkta konsekvenser för konkurrensens förutsättningar, men aktualiserar också frågan om hur dataskydd, konkurrens och det bredare konsumentskyddet förhåller sig till varandra och, i förlängningen hur de olika tillsynsmyndighet
Biomarkers are used in molecular biology to predict characteristics of interest and are applied in agriculture to accelerate the breeding of target traits. Proteomics has emerged as a promising technology for improved markers by providing a closer view to the phenotype than conventional genome-based approaches. However, a major challenge for biomarker development is that the identified biological
During the last decade the link between religion and right-wing populism has been underlined by scholars, viewing the latter as a form of ‘religious backlash’ and encouraging progressives to fight back. However, by setting the religious against the secular, these arguments, paradoxically, have contributed to the development of populism—by enforcing what Ryszard Bobrowicz and Johanna Gustafsson Lun
Specialnummer av Statsvetenskaplig tidskrift med artiklar och litteraturgranskningar om det exceptionella USA.Special edition of Journal of Political Science on the theme The exceptional America then and now.
Inledningskapitel till temanummer av Statvetenskaplig tidskrift om amerikansk exceptionalism då och nu.Introduction to American exceptionalism.
This article deals with uses of history and the combination of politics and the past from an American point of view. On one hand, the time span is long, with references dating back to Roman history, the war of independence and more recent events as the Vietnam War. On the other hand, it is interpretations of history here and now that are is analyzed. Another point of departure is different histori
Structural health monitoring systems have been widely implemented to provide real-time continuous data support and to ensure structural safety in the context of structural integrity management. However, the quantification of the potential benefits of structural health monitoring systems has not yet attracted widespread attention. At the same time, there is an urgent need to develop strategies, suc
