This work presents a new approach to the autotuning strategy for controlling pH in raceway reactors, based on classical relay-based autotuning principles. A relay applied to reference method is proposed that allows seamless integration into existing control loops without the need for manual recalibration across seasons or operator intervention. Two different models were identified: first-order wit
The recycling and reuse of trace uranium from spent nuclear fuel is of great significance for the safety management of the nuclear fuel cycle. However, stabilization of low-valent uranium has always been a challenge due to the ultraoxidizable nature of uranium ions, which remains relatively uncharted territory in spent fuel treatment. In the current study, U4+ was immobilized in Cs2UCl6 single cry
This report examines the evolving political discourse in Ireland in the lead-up to the 2024 local, general and European elections, focusing on the potential rise of far-right populism. Traditionally dominated by centrist parties, and with an increasingly progressive trajectory of referendums, Ireland has long been viewed as an exception to the European trend of far-right mobilisation. However, rec
PrologMikrovågs-hypertermi och strålbehandling (1980–1990)Min tidiga forskning inom medicinsk strålningsfysik ledde till kombinerad behandling av bröstcancer-recidiv med mikrovågsinducerad hypertermi och lågdos strålning (30 Gy). Kliniska försök inleddes med patienter som tidigare fått full stråldos (60 Gy). Utrustningen visades upp för kung Carl XVI Gustaf och drottning Silvia på Forskningens DagThis story has its origin in my presentation at the 1983 Research Day in Lund, to HM King XIV Gustav on our development of microwave-induced hyperthermia treatment of breast cancer recurrence, which brought me together with Professor Leif G. Salford, whose presentation was next to mine. Shortly before the turn of the millennium, Leif Salford initiated a clinical trial "Brain Immune Gene Tumour The
For the first time, an IP created in China has become a global consumer craze. And it happened entirely without central planning.
We investigated the presence of the fecal indicator bacteria Escherichia coli, and other taxa associated with sewage communities in coastal sediments, near beaches with reported poor bathing water quality, focusing on the influence of effluent from a local wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and combined sewer overflows (CSO). Using a three-year dataset, we found that treated wastewater effluent is
New methods and theoretical approaches to the study ofSamizdat - self-publishing and autonomous circulation of textsin the Soviet Union - have been challenging the traditionalviews that portray it as a mere form of dissident activity.Recently, a study by Historian Ann Komaromi classified it as anextra Gutenberg culture, distinct from “print culture” becauseit lacks its characteristics of standardi
Former president Yoon Suk-yeol’s martial law attempt, impeachment and the June 2025 presidential election exposed South Korea’s rising far-right — rooted in economic inequality, generational and gender divides and religious nationalism. Liberal candidate Lee Jae-myung won the election, but far-right forces remain potent. The Lee administration and South Korean citizens now must navigate domestic p
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

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
