Particulate methane monooxygenase (pMMO) is one of the few enzymes that can activate methane. The metal content of this enzyme has been highly controversial, with suggestions of a dinuclear Fe site or mono-, di-, or trinuclear Cu sites. Crystal structures have shown a mono- or dinuclear Cu site, but the resolution was low and the geometry of the dinuclear site unusual. We have employed quantum ref

We develop a coupled electronic charge and photon transport simulation model to allow for deeper analysis of our recent experimental studies of intracavity double diode structures (DDSs). The studied structures consist of optically coupled AlGaAs/GaAs double heterojunction light emitting diode (LED) and GaAs p–n-homojunction photodiode (PD) structure, integrated as a single semiconductor device. T

Small-angle X-ray scattering tensor tomography, which allows reconstruction of the local three-dimensional reciprocal-space map within a three-dimensional sample as introduced by Liebi et al. [Nature (2015), 527, 349-352], is described in more detail with regard to the mathematical framework and the optimization algorithm. For the case of trabecular bone samples from vertebrae it is shown that the

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified >250 loci for body mass index (BMI), implicating pathways related to neuronal biology. Most GWAS loci represent clusters of common, noncoding variants from which pinpointing causal genes remains challenging. Here we combined data from 718,734 individuals to discover rare and low-frequency (minor allele frequency (MAF)

Ethylene is a fuel considered for high-speed ram- and scramjet combustion applications, mainly because of the short ignition delay time resulting from its high reactivity. Further research and development on these combustion systems would benefit from simulations of large eddy (LES) type, which allow some chemical detail to accurately predict combustion characteristics and pollutant formation. In

The indigestible fraction (IF) isolated from three lunch menus: Modified Mexican Lunch (MM-L), Traditional Mexican Lunch (TM-L) and Alternative Mexican Lunch (AM-L), was studied in terms of antioxidant capacity (AOX) and metabolites produced through fermentation by human intestinal microbiota. IFs were isolated after withstanding in vitro gastrointestinal digestion and total soluble polyphenols (T

The luminous X-ray binary 47 Tuc X9 shows radio and X-ray emission consistent with a stellar-mass black hole (BH) accreting from a carbon-oxygen white dwarf. Its location, in the core of the massive globular cluster 47 Tuc, hints at a dynamical origin. We assess the stability of mass transfer from a carbon-oxygen white dwarf onto compact objects of various masses, and conclude that for mass transf

Annealing of a monolayer of hexagonal boron nitride destroyed by Xe ion irradiation gives rise to rich structural phenomena investigated here through a combination of scanning tunneling microscopy, low-energy electron diffraction, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculations. We find selective pinning of vacancy clusters at a single specific location within the moir

We calculate vector-vector correlation functions at two loops using partially quenched chiral perturbation theory including finite volume effects and twisted boundary conditions. We present expressions for the flavor neutral cases and the flavor charged case with equal masses. Using these expressions we give an estimate for the ratio of disconnected to connected contributions for the strange part

An investigation of geological conditions is always a key point for planning infrastructure constructions. Bedrock surface and rock quality must be estimated carefully in the designing process of infrastructures. A large direct-current resistivity and time-domain induced-polarization survey has been performed in Dalby, Lund Municipality, southern Sweden, with the aim of mapping lithological variat

The cortico-basal ganglia-thalamic (CBT) circuit is thought to be involved in control of voluntary and goal-directed movements and action selection. Dopamine is known to play a crucial role in this circuit and regulating its activity. The important role of dopamine is particularly evident in Parkinson’s patients, where dopaminergic cells are dying and motor impairments follow. While dopamine repla
