Soil moisture, vegetation cover, and land surface temperature are vital variables in water-energy balance, eco-hydrological processes, and water resources management, which can be influenced by watershed management activities. This research focused on the spatial and temporal variability of soil moisture, vegetation cover, land surface temperature, and Temperature-Vegetation Dryness Index (TVDI) u

In this study, we performed an experimental investigation of water absorption and penetration in clay brick masonry exposed to cyclic water spraying by employing a newly developed test setup. Several parameters, including brick absorption properties and different mortar joint profiles, were investigated. The specimens were exposed to a uniform water spray rate ranging between 1.7 and 3.8 l/m2/h, a

BACKGROUND: As under-5 mortality rates declined all over the world, the relative distribution of under-5 deaths during different periods of life changed. To provide information for policymakers to plan for multi-layer health strategies targeting child health, it is essential to quantify the distribution of under-5 deaths by age groups.METHODS: Using 245 Demographic and Health Surveys from 64 low-

Advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) may contribute to liver carcinogenesis because of their pro-inflammatory and pro-oxidative properties. Diet is a major source of AGEs, but there is sparse human evidence on the role of AGEs intake in liver cancer aetiology. We examined the association between dietary AGEs and the risk of hepatobiliary cancers in the European Prospective Investigation into Canc

The main goal of this compilation thesis has been to investigate the conformational ensemble of the intrinsically disordered protein (IDP) histatin 5 by using a mixture of experimental and computational techniques including, but not limited to, small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, and coarse-grained Monte Carlo (M

Föreliggande undersökning syftar till att utvärdera möjligheten att använda bioimpedansspektrometri för att mäta tumör- och vävnadsrespons på strålterapi. Bioimpedansmätningar utförda med CythorLab ™ utrustade med en signalgenerator med en känd högutgångsimpedans och signalmätanordning som kan mäta spänningen som appliceras av generatorn. Styrenheten utlöser signalgeneratorn som genererar en MLS-sThe present investigation aims to evaluate the possibility of using bio-impedance spectrometry to measure tumour and tissue response to radiation therapy. Bio -impedance measurements performed with CythorLab™ equipped with a signal generator with a known high output impedance and signal measuring device able to measure the voltage applied by the generator. The control unit triggers the signal gene

Nondestructive imaging with both a large field of view and a high spatial resolution is crucial to understand complex materials and processes in science and technology. X-ray ptychography can provide highest spatial resolution but is limited in the field of view by the acquisition time and coherent flux at modern x-ray sources. By multi-beam ptychography, the sample can be imaged in parallel by se

We report on the manufacturing and testing of the first nanofocusing refractive lenses made of single-crystal silicon carbide. We introduce the fabrication process based on lithography, followed by deep isotropic etching. The lenses were characterized at the energy of 12 keV at the beamline P06 of the synchrotron radiation source PETRA III. A focal spot of 186 nm x 275 nm has been achieved with a

X-rays allow to non-destructively investigate biological, chemical or physical processes at thenano-scale. Their high penetration depth in matter allows to investigate samples even in-side sample environments, which would be difficult with complementary methods such astransmission electron microscopy (TEM). The microscopy technique ptychography has beenestablished in X-ray imaging in recent years.X-rays allow to non-destructively investigate biological, chemical or physical processes at the nano-scale.
