Tunable magnetic sample environment at the SoftiMAX beamline

Adjustable magnetic field sources have become indispensable in advanced material characterization techniques. Among these, permanent magnet assemblies offer significant advantages by reducing power consumption and minimizing Joule heating. In this work, we report on the development and integration of a tunable magnetic sample environment at the SoftiMAX beamline of the MAX IV synchrotron, employin

Adelic C-correspondences and parabolic induction

In analogy with the factorization of representations of adelic groups as restricted products of representations of local groups, we study restricted tensor products of Hilbert C⁎[jls-end-space/]-modules and of C⁎[jls-end-space/]-correspondences. The construction produces global C⁎[jls-end-space/]-correspondences from compatible collections of local C⁎[jls-end-space/]-correspondences. When applied

Ready for the flood? Assessing the applicability of pluvial flood mapping based on the worst urban flood in Sweden

Pluvial flood mapping is a common way to identify locations at risk of being flooded in connection with an extreme short-duration rainfall. As rainfall extremes are expected to intensify in a warmer climate, more and more cities and municipalities are performing pluvial flood mapping, in Sweden and elsewhere. Often a rainfall with a return period of 100–200 years is used in the mapping, and the ma

Selective monoesterification of dicarboxylic acids using green chemistry approaches

År 2024 nådde de globala fossila koldioxidutsläppen en rekordhög nivå på 37.8 miljarder ton, vilket är en 0.8% ökning från 2023. Denna ökning sker trots en ökning av förnybar energi vilket bekräftar det fortsatta beroendet av fossila bränslen. Fossila bränslen som kol, olja och naturgas används främst för energiproduktion men även för framställningen av olika kemikalier som till exempel gödsel, läThis research focuses on the synthesis of two monoesters of tartaric acid, the monomethyl- and monopropyl ester. The monoesters of tartaric acid are synthesized using green chemistry approaches and intended for use as monomers in waterborne polyurethane dispersions which are more environmentally friendly than traditional solvent-based polyurethane dispersions. Polyurethane dispersions are mainly u

Using the stretched exponential function for automatic processing of time-domain induced polarization data and further interpretation

Time-domain induced polarization (TDIP) data carry spectral information that can be used for petrophysical interpretation. At the same time, TDIP data can be collected in the field more efficiently than frequency-domain induced polarization (FDIP) data, thanks to the use of square-wave signals. However, TDIP field data are prone to noise, particularly strong near industrial installations and urban

The effect of carrier particle size on the performance of adhesive mixtures for inhalation

Despite being subject to a multitude of investigations, the effect of carrier particle size on the performance of adhesive mixtures for inhalation is still not well understood. This study, involving three differently sized lactose carriers, all with the regular ‘tomahawk’ particle shape, aims to provide fundamental insight into this topic. Fine particle fraction (FPF) data for binary formulations

Metal-polluted environments across Europe show location dependent associations with gut microbiota and nestling performance in an insectivorous passerine

While the direct toxicological effects of metal exposure on animals, including birds, are well documented, indirect mechanisms remain poorly understood. This applies to effects on microbiota, despite the emerging evidence of its crucial role in host's physiological functions. We investigated the metal exposure, growth, and fledging of great tits (Parus major) in six rural vs. industrial/urban area

Diagnostic and epidemiological landscape of anaerobic bacteria in Europe, 2020–2023 (ANAEuROBE)

Introduction: Despite being implicated in a wide spectrum of community- and healthcare-acquired infections, anaerobes have not yet been incorporated into systematic surveillance programs in Europe. Methods: We conducted a multicentre retrospective observational study analysing all anaerobic strains isolated from blood cultures in 44 European Hospital Centres over a 4-y period (2020–2023). Diagnost

Continuous deep sedation versus minimal sedation after cardiac arrest and resuscitation (SED-CARE): A protocol for a randomized clinical trial

Background: Sedation is often provided to resuscitated out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients to tolerate post-cardiac arrest care, including temperature management. However, the evidence of benefit or harm from routinely administered deep sedation after cardiac arrest is limited. The aim of this trial is to investigate the effects of continuous deep sedation compared to minimal sedation o

Mapping geosystem services potential for urban climate resilience : A case study from Malmö, Sweden

Urban climate resilience planning often overlooks the subsurface, despite its potential to mitigate flooding, heat stress, and drought. To demonstrate these potentials, we developed thematic Geosystem Service (GS) maps for Malmö, Sweden, to support the integration of the subsurface into climate adaptation strategies. This study identifies GS relevant to the local context, proposes indicators for m

On fluctuations of Coulomb systems and universality of the Heine distribution

We consider a class of external potentials on the complex plane C for which the coincidence set to the obstacle problem contains a Jordan curve in the exterior of the droplet. We refer to this curve as a spectral outpost. We study the corresponding Coulomb gas at β=2[jls-end-space/].Generalizing recent work in the radially symmetric case, we prove that the number of particles which fall near the s

A preliminary study on the role of personal history of infectious and parasitic diseases on self-reported health across countries

Objectives: Infectious diseases are often associated with decline in quality of life. The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between personal history of communicable, i.e., infectious and parasitic diseases and self-rated health. Study design: Secondary analysis of a large dataset multi-country observational study. Methods: We used a four-pronged analysis approach to investigate whet
