The research network "Basic Concepts for Convection Parameterization in Weather Forecast and Climate Models" was organized with European funding (COST Action E50905) for the period of 2010-2014. Its extensive brainstorming suggests how the subgrid-scale parameterization problem in atmospheric modeling, especially for convection, can be examined and developed from the point of view of a robust theo
We have investigated the adsorption and decomposition of ethanol on the Rh(111) and Rh(5 5 3) surfaces at room temperature with special emphasis on the dehydrogenation. We use high resolution Core level photoemission and density functional theory (DFT) based simulations. A detailed analysis of the C1s core level spectra, including analysis of the vibrational fine-structure and comparison to calcul
In this paper, the automatically generated mechanism for hexadecane with both high and low temperature chemistry included is compared to a systematically generated mechanism by hand. In contrast to other systems for automatic generation, the REACTION system uses pathways to organize the application of reaction classes. A pathway is a sequence of reaction classes where only those species produced b
Thirty-five new species of the lichen family Teloschistaceae are described: Caloplaca aseptatospora S. Y. Kondr. & Kärnefelt, C. bartlettii S. Y. Kondr. & Kärnefelt, C. begaensis S. Y. Kondr. & Kärnefelt, C. burneyensis S. Y. Kondr. & Kärnefelt, C. cliffwetmorei S. Y. Kondr. & Kärnefelt, C. dorrigoensis S. Y. Kondr. & Kärnefelt, Caloplaca erichansenii S. Y. Kondr., A. Thell
Nanowires grown with the vapor-liquid-solid method commonly exhibit polytypism, showing both zincblende and wurtzite crystal structure. We have grown p-type InP nanowires using DEZn as a dopant precursor and studied the wetting of the seed particle and the nanowire crystal structure. The nanowires grown with high DEZn molar fractions exhibit deformed seed particles after growth. We observe 20% sma
A search for squarks and gluinos in final states containing jets, missing transverse momentum and no electrons or muons is presented. The data were recorded by the ATLAS experiment in root s = 7 TeV proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. No excess above the Standard Model background expectation was observed in 35 pb(-1) of analysed data. Gluino masses below 500 GeV are excluded at
Background: The study presented here has used the commercial flow sheeting program Aspen Plus (TM) to evaluate techno-economic aspects of large-scale hemp-based processes for producing transportation fuels. The co-production of biogas, district heat and power from chopped and steam-pretreated hemp, and the co-production of ethanol, biogas, heat and power from steam-pretreated hemp were analysed. T
The antiviral activities of type I IFNs have long been established. However, comparatively little is known of their role in defenses against nonviral pathogens. We examined here the effects of type I IFNs on host resistance against the model pathogenic yeast Cryptococcus neoformans. After intratracheal or i.v. challenge with this fungus, most mice lacking either the IFN-alpha/beta receptor (IFN-al
Surging outlet glaciers are important in draining large ice caps, but the mechanisms controlling surge periodicities are poorly known. We investigated a sediment sequence from the glacier-fed Lake Logurinn in eastern Iceland, and our unique annually resolved data, based on sedimentary varves, imply that Eyjabakkajokull, an outlet glacier of Vatnajokull, began surging about 2200 cal a BP (before 19
This letter presents dc characteristics and low-frequency noise (LFN) measurements on single vertical InAs nanowire MOSFETs with 35-nm gate length and HfO2 high-kappa dielectric. The average normalized transconductance for three devices is 0.16 S/mm, with a subthreshold slope of 130 mV/decade. At 10 Hz, the normalized noise power S-I/I-d(2) measures 7.3 x 10(-7) Hz(-1). Moreover, the material-depe
Famous for its many New Kingdom stelai and funerary shrines, Speos of Horemheb and magnificent quarries, this paper presents a preliminary report on a lesser acknowledged feature of Gebel el Silsila: its quarry marks. Focusing here on the northern section – Partition B – of Silsila East’s Main Quarry, seventeen individual quarry faces display totally 376 quarry marks, which have been divided into
Background: The humerus is the second most common long-bone site of metastatic bone disease. We report complications, risk factors for failure, and survival of a large series of patients operated on for skeletal metastases of the humerus. Materials and methods: This study was based on 208 patients treated surgically for 214 metastatic lesions of the humerus. Reconstructions were achieved by intram
In this work the syntheses, structure and SOD activity of covalently grafted Fe(III)-complexes formed with various N- or C-protected amino acid ligands (L-histidine and L-tyrosine) inspired by the active site of the Fe SOD enzyme are presented. Chloropropylated silica gel was used as support to mimic the proteomic skeleton of the enzyme. Anchored complexes having uniform amino acids as well as the
Analysis of the novel Die Ästhetik des Widerstands (The Aesthetics of Resistance) by German-Swedish author Peter Weiss (1916-1982). The main question in the analysis is how the novel depicts the the literary work, since the narrator of the novel is a writer.
Popular Abstract in Swedish Graviditetsdiabetes (GDM) definieras som förhöjt blodglukos (blodsocker) som uppstår eller upptäcks under graviditet och som oftast försvinner efter förlossningen. Orsaken anses vara en otillräcklig förmåga att öka insulinproduktionen i takt med det ökade behov som normalt uppträder under en graviditet till följd av hormonella förändringar. Livsstilsfaktorer såsom stillGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with a risk of adverse pregnancy outcome and is a predictor of subsequent diabetes. The aims of this work were to describe a reliable routine to diagnose abnormal glucose tolerance during pregnancy, to investigate women’s opinions of the specialist care provided, to determine the prevalence of diabetes one year after giving birth, and to elucidate
Aims and objectives. This study aimed to describe and identify risk factors associated with hospital-acquired pressure ulcers among adults in an acute care hospital compared with patients with pre-existing pressure ulcers present on admission. A further aim was to identify the preventive measures performed with both groups respectively. Background. Pressure ulcers occur most often in older and imm
