Assessing the transport of natural radionuclides in the atmosphere provides a powerful tool to study air mass circulation. Here, we investigated the seasonal atmospheric distribution of the naturally produced 7Be in surface air over Europe between 40° N and 68° N during the period 1975–2018. The results suggest that the inter-annual variability of 7Be reflects production rates of the radionuclide
The response of a position-sensitive Li-glass based scintillation detector being developed for thermal-neutron detection with 6 mm position resolution has been investigated using focused beams of 2.5MeV protons and deuterons. The beams were scanned across the detector in 0.5 mm horizontal and vertical steps perpendicular to the beams. Scintillation light was registered using an 8 × 8 pixel multi-a
Perceiving object motion during self-movement is an essential ability of humans. Previous studies have reported that the visual system can use both visual information (such as optic flow) and non-visual information (such as vestibular, somatosensory, and proprioceptive information) to identify and globally subtract the retinal motion component due to self-movement to recover scene-relative object
The continental crust grew and matured compositionally during the Palaeo- to Neoarchean through the addition of juvenile tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite (TTG) crust. This change has been linked to the start of global plate tectonics, following the general interpretation that TTGs represent ancient analogues of arc magmas. To test this, we analysed B concentrations and isotope compositions in 3.
The prevalence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the business landscape is indisputable. However, there are considerable gaps between the visionary ideas businesses communicate and their operational use of AI. The goal of this market survey is to identify companies currently working with AI in the Øresund Region - referred to as AI companies. The survey, conducted between June and September 2020,
This article aims to contribute to the knowledge about the success which nationalist parties have experienced during the latest decades in western societies. By a qualitative text analysis, using a case study method, a Facebook-group anonymously named Sverigesidan (The Swedish page), has been studied in order to discover patterns which can explain how nationalism can attract groups who obviously a
Propagation-based phase contrast imaging (PB-PCI) with an X-ray lab source is a powerful technique to study low absorption samples, e.g. soft tissue or plastics, on the micrometer scale but is often limited by the low flux and coherence of the source. The setup geometry is essential for the performance since there is a trade-off where a short source distance yields a high contrast-to-noise ratio (
This retrospective study sought to determine the safety and effectiveness of flecainide in children with normal hearts and those with congenital heart disease (CHD) or cardiomyopathy (CMO). Baseline and follow-up data at two pediatric cardiology sites were queried (2000–2015); a total of 175 patients (20 with CHD and two with CMO) receiving flecainide were assessed. When comparing patients with CH
Circulating proteins are vital in human health and disease and are frequently used as biomarkers for clinical decision-making or as targets for pharmacological intervention. Here, we map and replicate protein quantitative trait loci (pQTL) for 90 cardiovascular proteins in over 30,000 individuals, resulting in 451 pQTLs for 85 proteins. For each protein, we further perform pathway mapping to obtai
AIMS: The epidemiological association between diabetes and cardiovascular disease is well established, but the pathophysiological link is complex and multifactorial. We investigated seven proteins, previously linked to incident diabetes mellitus, and their association with cardiovascular disease and mortality.METHODS AND RESULTS: Plasma samples from 1713 individuals from the Swedish population-bas
