Due to the relatively short duration of earthquakes, most studies simplify their impact on structures by considering the total effect of each event rather than modelling the instantaneous accumulation of damage during the event itself. This approach may underestimate performance degradation, as incremental damage occurring during the shock can lead to an immediate reduction in capacity. Furthermor
Fiducial and total W± and Z boson cross sections, their ratios and the ratio of top-antitop-quark pair and W-boson fiducial cross sections are measured in proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of s=13.6 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 29 fb−1 of data collected in 2022 by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. The measured fiducial cross-section values fo
In this roundtable, we will discuss the role of the kappa, the framing text in a compilation thesis, in STEM doctoral education. Based on two runs of the new courseFraming your research – thesis frames and knowledge contribution for doctoral students at LTH and a focus group discussion with experienced examination committee members and supervisors, we argue that the kappa is an emergent genrestill
Makerspaces and fabrication laboratories (fablabs) have received growing scholarly attention for their potential to advance innovation. These spaces provide individuals access to technological tools while enabling collaboration and community-building around technology-driven activities. Yet, existing research on how innovation unfolds within these settings remains fragmented. This paper reviews an
Objective: To estimate the 12-year risk of radiographic and/or symptomatic knee osteoarthritis following different MRI-confirmed soft-tissue knee injuries. Design: Prospective cohort study including 814 (70 %) of 1129 consecutive patients after acute knee trauma with hemarthrosis in a single hospital. Injuries were classified by sub-acute knee MRI. Follow-up comprised bilateral knee radiography a
The Intermediate Wheatgrass (IWG) Thinopyrum intermedium (Host) Barkworth & D.R. Dewey, marketed under the trade name Kernza® has been tested in France with a group of farmers since 2017. The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a recognized methodology to assess the potential environmental impacts and resources consumption associated with a production system. An attributional LCA following ISO 1404
Climate change pushes species toward higher latitudes and altitudes, but the proximate drivers of range expansions vary, and it is unclear whether evolution facilitates climate change–induced range changes. In a temporally replicated field experiment, we trans-located wall brown butterflies (Lasiommata megera) descending from range interior and range margin populations to sites at 1) the range int
Background: Sjögren’s disease (SjD) is an autoimmune condition affecting exocrine glands, resulting in decreased saliva and tear production. Aquaporin 5 (AQP5) is a transmembrane water channel playing a central role in water transport. In SjD, deregulation of AQP5 expression, trafficking and interactions with various proteins contribute to the underlying disease mechanisms. Methods: Co-immunopreci
Rechargeable magnesium batteries are promising for future energy storage. However, among other challenges, their practical application is hindered by low coulombic efficiencies of magnesium plating and stripping. Fundamental processes such as the formation, structure, and stability of passivation layers and the influence of different electrolyte components on them are still not fully understood. I
Anode-free zinc batteries offer reduced weight and simplified production compared to traditional zinc metal batteries, but challenges such as dendrite formation and parasitic reactions limit their efficiency and cycle life. In this study, we present an effective strategy to form a zincophilic interphase in situ via indium co-deposition during cycling, using InCl3 as an electrolyte additive. Zinc p
Aqueous lithium-ion batteries (ALIBs) are promising for large-scale energy storage systems because of the cost-effective, intrinsically safe, and environmentally friendly properties of aqueous electrolytes. Practical application is however impeded by interfacial side-reactions and the narrow electrochemical stability window (ESW) of aqueous electrolytes. Even though higher electrolyte salt concent
Aqueous zinc-bromine (Zn-Br2) batteries feature operational safety and high-energy and high-power densities, but suffer from polybromide dissolution in the cathode and the low reversibility of Zn metal in the anode. Here, we demonstrate that these challenges can be simultaneously tackled by using a fully exploited imidazolium bromide (MPIBr). An in-depth analysis demonstrates that MPIBr enhances b
The binder plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and enhancing the conductivity of the electrode, although it accounts for a small weight fraction in the entire electrode. However, the conventional binder used in lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries fails to effectively tackle the challenges posed by the shuttle effect of lithium polysulfides, as well as the issues of poor conductivity and
Some vertebrates regenerate appendages through the action of small noncoding RNAs (smRNAs) expressed in their blastema. Inspired by these models, we investigated whether similar smRNA-mediated mechanisms might contribute to the intrinsic repair capacity of human cartilage. Although humans lack the capacity to regenerate entire limbs, digit tip regrowth and joint cartilage repair following joint di
Introduction: Amyloid- and tau-positron emission tomography (PET) are promising modalities for detecting pathological changes associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD); however, their application is limited. Although the use of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers as alternatives to amyloid-PET and tau-PET has been explored, no in vitro diagnostic-approved or commercial CSF biomarker assays are cur
Layered lithium-rich transition metal oxides are promising cathode candidates for high-energy-density lithium batteries due to the redox contributions from transition metal cations and oxygen anions. However, their practical application is hindered by gradual capacity fading and voltage decay. Although oxygen loss and phase transformation are recognized as primary factors, the structural deteriora
