Anatomy of rocky planets formed by rapid pebble accretion : III. Partitioning of volatiles between planetary core, mantle, and atmosphere

Volatile molecules containing hydrogen, carbon, and nitrogen are key components of planetary atmospheres. In the pebble accretion model for rocky planet formation, these volatile species are accreted during the main planetary formation phase. For this study, we modelled the partitioning of volatiles within a growing planet and the outgassing to the surface. The core stores more than 90% of the hyd

Anatomy of rocky planets formed by rapid pebble accretion : I. How icy pebbles determine the core fraction and FeO contents

We present a series of papers dedicated to modelling the accretion and differentiation of rocky planets that form by pebble accretion within the lifetime of the protoplanetary disc. In this first paper, we focus on how the accreted ice determines the distribution of iron between the mantle (oxidized FeO and FeO1.5) and the core (metallic Fe and FeS). We find that an initial primitive composition o

NMR Backbone Assignment of VIM-2 and Identification of the Active Enantiomer of a Potential Inhibitor

Carbapenem resistance caused by metallo-β-lactamases is a serious global challenge that, if not tackled efficiently, is expected to lead to millions of deaths in the coming decades. Verona-integron encoded metallo-β-lactamase 2 (VIM-2) is a bacterial enzyme that has been reported from multidrug-resistant nosocomial isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other Gram-negative pathogens. As it hydroly

Bombkriget 1939-45

Under andra världskriget fälldes tusentals ton bomber mot både militära och civila mål på marken. Förlusterna var stora såväl vad gäller antal nedskjuta bombplan och omkomna besättningsmän på dessa plan som de som blev offer för bombraiderna. Historien om bombkriget sträcker sig längre tillbaka än andra världskriget, men under åren 1939–45 förändrades förutsättningarna. Bombplanen kunde medföra al

Social Media Digital Architectures : A Platform-First Approach to Political Communication and Participation

This chapter outlines the architectural approach to researching digital politics. An architectural approach focuses on platform structures and how they mediate, and can actively affect, users’ political agency online and offline. I first chart the lineage of architectural approaches in the social sciences, from discourse architectures to digital architectures. Then, I describe the process of ‘mapp

Hamas attack blottlägger Irans geopolitiska mål

När röken klarnar blir silhuetterna av Irans ambitiösa geopolitiska strävanden mer urskiljbara, skriver Ardavan M. Khoshnood, docent, överläkare och lektor vid Lunds universitet.The orchestrated attack by Hamas on Israel on October 7, 2023, highlights a significant intelligence failure and the menacing influence of the Islamic regime in Iran. Post-attack, the regime's involvement in aiding Hamas has been echoed globally. The Islamic regime, known for supporting terrorist groups like Hamas, has been a major destabilizing force in the Middle East since 1979. The nature of t

Enhancing Traffic Flow and Safety in Mixed Vehicle Fleets: Mitigating the Influence of Non-Cooperative Vehicles on Autonomous Intersection Management Systems

With the rapid advancement of autonomous vehicle technology, integrating mixed autonomous and non-autonomous vehicles that are not cooperative in vehicular network has become a significant challenge. This paper presents an innovative Autonomous Intersection Management (AIM) system designed to optimize traffic flow and enhance intersection safety in such mixed traffic scenarios. By utilizing vehicl

Impact of Positioning Uncertainty on Autonomous Intersection Management System

Connected Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) have the potential to revolutionize Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) by addressing urban transport challenges, such asAutonomous Intersection Management (AIM). However, the assumption of highly accurate positioning in most ITS applications does not align with real-life situations. While extensive research has been conducted to improve positioning accurac

Taxonomic relationship among four European Physokermes species (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha) based on nuclear and mitochondrial DNA

Introduction: Scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha) feed on a wide variety of agricultural crops and forest and ornamental trees worldwide. These pest insects damage plants not only by causing sap loss but also by reducing the plant's photosynthetic activity. This is because the honeydew they produce acts as a substrate for mold, which covers leaf surfaces. In the last decades, several outbreaks

Evaluation of the diagnostic and prognostic potential of optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the pulmonary arteries during standardised right heart catheterisation in patients with pulmonary hypertension : a cross-sectional single-centre experience

Background: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is diagnosed based on an invasive evaluation of the mean pulmonary artery (PA) pressure. The morphological assessment of the pulmonary arteries was only recently not feasible. With the advent of optical coherence tomography (OCT)-imaging, an accessible tool allows to study PA morphology longitudinally. The primary hypothesis was that OCT distincts the PA str

Skin, soap, and spaghetti : Investigations of co-existing solid and liquid phases in organic materials using solid-state NMR with dynamics-based spectral editing

Solid-state NMR methods incorporating dynamics-based spectral editing have a remarkable versatility for resolving and separately characterizing co-existing solid and liquid phases or domains in biologically and technically relevant organic materials. While 13C spectra acquired under magic-angle spinning and 1H decoupling provide atomic resolution, the signal intensities obtained with the CP and IN
