Axial and reflection asymmetry of the nuclear ground state

More than a decade ago we published a calculation of nuclear ground-state masses and deformations in Atomic Data and Nuclear Data Tables [P. Moller, J.R. Nix, W.D. Myers, W.J. Swiatecki, At. Data Nucl. Data Tables 59 (1995) 185]. In this study, triaxial nuclear shapes were not considered. We have now enhanced our model and studied the influence of triaxial shape degrees of freedom on the nuclear g

Fluoroscopic Roentgen stereophotogrammetric analysis (FRSA) to study three-dimensional stent graft dynamics

We report the clinical feasibility of fluoroscopic Roentgen stereophotogrammetric analysis (FRSA), a validated method to quantify, real time three-dimensional (3D) dynamic motion of stent grafts and the first clinical results after abdominal and thoracic endovascular repair (EVAR). Stent graft motion was measured at 30 (stereo) frames per second, during the cardiac cycle and in the patient after a

Generalisability of clinical registers used for drug safety and comparative effectiveness research: coverage of the Swedish Biologics Register

Objective To determine coverage and generalisability of data in the Swedish Biologics Register ARTIS. Methods Patients with adult onset rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were identified in the National Patient Register and the Swedish Rheumatology Quality Register, including the ARTIS cohort of patients exposed to biological agents. Exposure to etanercept and adalimumab between 2006 and 2008 was determine

459 miljarder kronor - Om metaforer, flöden & exemplar

I den här artikeln argumenterar jag för att vårt tänkande i grunden är metafor- och föreställningsstyrt. Bilder och konceptuella ramverk styr i mångt och mycket hur vi kommunicerar, och därmed i grunden argumenterar och debatterar. Jag hävdar att det finns en utbredd föreställning om att vårt tänkande är mer objektivt förankrat än vad det egentligen är. Som rättssociolog är min poäng att det även

A note on "A combinatorial proof of associativity of Ore extensions"

Nystedt recently gave a combinatorial proof of the fact that Ore extensions are associative. As part of it he proves that two sets of strings are identical, using a counting argument. We show that the equality of the sets can be proven directly. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Changing Landscapes and Persistent Places : An Exploration of the Bjäre Peninsula

Changing Landscapes and Persistent Places is a study of the cultural landscape on the Bjäre peninsula in northwest Skåne. The many Bronze Age remains that give the landscape its distinctive character are the starting point for an attempt to increase our understanding of the historical depth of today’s landscape. The two perspectives of “landscape” and “places” carry the discussion forward, almost

Spin correlations in Ca3Co2O6: Polarized-neutron diffraction and Monte Carlo study

We present polarized-neutron diffraction measurements of the Ising-type spin-chain compound Ca3Co2O6 above and below the magnetic ordering temperature T-N. Below T-N, a clear evolution from a pure spin-density wave (SDW) structure to a mixture of SDW and commensurate antiferromagnet (CAFM) structures is observed on cooling. For a rapidly cooled sample, the majority phase at low temperature is the

A CT method for following patients with both prosthetic replacement and implanted tantalum beads: preliminary analysis with a pelvic model and in seven patients.

BACKGROUND: Radiostereometric analysis (RSA) is often used for evaluating implanted devices over time. Following patients who have had tantalum beads implanted as markers in conjunction with joint replacements is important for longitudinal evaluation of these patients and for those with similar implants. As doing traditional RSA imaging is exacting and limited to specialized centers, it is import

Novel evaluation method of neutron reflectivity data applied to stimulus-responsive polymer brushes

Neutron reflectivity (NR) measurements have been performed on stimulus-responsive polymer brushes containing N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAM) at different temperatures and contrasts using two different brush samples of roughly the same grafting density and layer thickness. The NR data were analyzed using a novel method employing polymer density profiles predicted from lattice mean-field theory augme

Large spinel grains in a CM chondrite (Acfer 331): Implications for reconstructions of ancient meteorite fluxes

By dissolving 30400kg of marine limestone in HCl and HF acid, our group has previously recovered common relict chromite grains (approximately 63250m) from ordinary chondritic micrometeorites that fell on ancient sea floors, up to 500Myr old. Here, we evaluate if CM group carbonaceous chondritic material, which makes up an important fraction of the micrometeorite flux today, contains analogous grai

Rättens transcendens. Om skälighet inom avtalsrätten och relevansen av Rawls rättviseteori

Följande kapitel kommer att behandla avtalsrättens centrala generalklausul som gör det möjligt att jämka eller ogiltigförklara oskäliga avtalsvillkor. Paragrafen är omstridd och har tilldragit sig intresse då den öppnar upp för rättstillämparens skönsmässiga avgöranden – det inte finns några riktlinjer för vad som kan betecknas som oskäligt utöver den domstolspraxis som utvecklats. Det kan därmed

Proteomic Changes during B Cell Maturation: 2D-DIGE Approach

B cells play a pivotal role in adaptive immune system, since they maintain a delicate balance between recognition and clearance of foreign pathogens and tolerance to self. During maturation, B cells progress through a series of developmental stages defined by specific phenotypic surface markers and the rearrangement and expression of immunoglobulin (Ig) genes. To get insight into B cell proteome d

Neolithic Diversities : Perspectives from a conference in Lund, Sweden

Papers from a conference in Lund, Sweden. The title of the conference was "What's new in the Neolithic". The book brings together the latest research on the Neolithic of northern Europe. In the study of the distant human past, certain events and periods have come to represent decisive passages from one human state to another. From a global perspective, the characteristic feature of the last ten t

Alkaline-extractable silicon from land to ocean: A challenge for biogenic silicon determination

The biogeochemical cycling of silicon (Si) along the land-to-ocean continuum is studied by a variety of research fields and for a variety of scientific reasons. However, there is an increasing need to refine the methodology and the underlying assumptions used to determine biogenic silica (BSi) concentrations. Recent evidence suggests that contributions of nonbiogenic sources of Si dissolving durin

Structural dynamics teaching example: A linear test analysis case using open software

Teaching the topic of structural dynamics in any engineering field is a true challenge due to the wide span of the underlying subjects like mathematics, mechanics (both rigid body and continuum mechanics), numerical analysis, random data analysis and physical understanding.With the increased availability of computers many engineering problems in practice are evaluated by means of numerical methods
