Deuteron evaporation was observed from the N = Z compound nuclei 52Fe, 56Ni, and 64Ge in an experiment conducted at Argonne National Laboratory, USA. The experiment included a novel combination of two highly pixelated double-sided Si-strip detectors inside the Microball charged-particle detection array, allowing for unequivocal discrimination of evaporated deuterons from protons and α particles. I

The launch of the DeepSeek R1 chatbot in early 2025 prompted a flurry of responses. In Asia, it touched off discussions about gaining ground against big tech and national AI strategies. The reactions offer a window onto thinking in the region about technology policy, US-China rivalry, and international cooperation.

BACKGROUND: Tofacitinib is a Janus kinase inhibitor for the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC). Prospective real-world data are scarce.OBJECTIVES: To collect data on clinical outcomes, including health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and fatigue during treatment with tofacitinib.DESIGN: This is a prospective observational multicentre study in Sweden. In this analysis, outcomes at weeks 2, 8 and

The emission spectra from the ablation of airborne alumina nanoparticles by a 532 nm nanosecond pulsed laser are investigated to clarify the underlying mechanism and the applicability of different laser diagnostic techniques such as the laser-induced incandescence (LII) and the laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). The particles were observed to be completely ablated above the laser fluence

Darcy’s law provides a fundamental framework for understanding fluid flow through porous media. However, deviations from its linear superficial velocity-hydraulic gradient (v-i) relationship have been widely reported, at high and low flow rates. While previous studies have attributed the low flow rate deviations to factors such as fluid properties, boundary effects, and experimental artifacts, the

BackgroundPain is prevalent in spina bifida (SB), yet, it has received limited attention in research and healthcare.ObjectiveTo investigate pain severity, common pain sites, and pain interference with daily activities and sleep in individuals with SB.MethodsLiterature was last searched in Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, PubMed, CINAHL, and Academic Search Complete in July 2024.

ABSTRACT Child undernutrition remains a significant public health issue in Bangladesh, with high rates of stunting, wasting, and underweight. The Composite Index of Anthropometric Failure (CIAF) offers a comprehensive tool for assessing overall undernutrition. Although previous studies in Bangladesh have utilized CIAF, they have relied on older datasets. Estimating the current status is essential

Background: Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is an important target for positron emission tomography (PET) with computed tomography (CT) in prostate cancer. In addition to overexpression in prostate cancer cells, PSMA is expressed in healthy cells in the proximal tubules of the kidneys. Consequently, PSMA PET is being explored for renal functional imaging. Left and right renal uptake of P

Sveriges tillväxt i förhållande till utvecklingen i vår omvärld uppvisar tre faser under de senaste 170 åren. Från 1890 till 1950 hade Sverige högre tillväxt än jämförbara länder. Sedan följde en fas med eftersläpning till omkring sekelskiftet 2000. Marknadshämmande regleringar av det finansiella systemet var en huvudorsak till eftersläpningen. Efter den finansiella avregleringen börjar en tredje

Non-polar and semi-polar III-nitrides have beneficial properties for various electronic applications such as light emitting diodes and photodetectors due to the elimination or reduction of polarization effects. However, cost-effective manufacturing of non-polar and semi-polar III-nitride films with sufficient film quality is not feasible yet. We report an investigation of the morphological and str

Objective: To analyze the outcomes of urgent/emergent endovascular aortic repair of patients with free/contained ruptured thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (rTAAA). Background: Endovascular repair of rTAAA has been scarcely described in emergent setting. Methods: An international multicenter retrospective observational study (ClinicalTrials.govID:NCT05956873) from January 2015 to January 2023 in 6

The current classification of diabetes had its genesis over 85 years ago, when individuals with diabetes were first subclassified into insulin sensitive and insulin insensitive states based on the response to an oral glucose tolerance test. About 35 years later, the contemporary classifications of type 1 and type 2 diabetes were coined. Today's evidence, however, suggests that multiple etiologic a

Aims: Improved dietary habits are important for successful secondary prevention after myocardial infarction (MI), with counselling and support on healthy dietary habits constituting a cornerstone of cardiac rehabilitation (CR). However, there is limited knowledge on how to optimize CR organization to motivate patients to adopt healthy dietary habits. We aimed to explore associations between CR pro

Objective: Cushing's disease (CD) is associated with severely impaired quality of life and shortened life expectancy. Little is known about the socioeconomic consequences of CD and their impact on long-term outcome. Methods: This was a nationwide study including 371 patients with CD (76% women), diagnosed between 1991 and 2018, and 4 matched controls per patient from the background population. Cli
