A differential absorption (DIAL) lidar system based on a Raman shifted KrF excimer laser was constructed and employed for vertically sounding measurements of tropospheric ozone, This system is described, including a presentation of measurements of Raman shifting efficiencies in hydrogen and deuterium. The performance of the new system was evaluated in measurement campaigns involving two further op
Objective. To assess the potential of metastasin S100A4 as a biological marker in patients with RA.Methods. A total of 87 unselected patients with established RA (disease duration 2-44 years) and treated with MTX and infliximab at a single rheumatology centre were included in a cross-sectional study. Radiographs of hands and feet were taken prior to infliximab treatment and at inclusion (time inte
BACKGROUND: Overweight children show different movement patterns during walking than normal-weight children, suggesting the accuracy of multisensory activity monitors may differ in these groups. METHODS: Eleven normal and 15 high BMI African American children walked at 2, 4, 5, and 6 km/h on a treadmill wearing the Intelligent Device for Energy Expenditure and Activity (IDEEA) and SenseWear (SW)
In this article, we compare two compounding structures in Spanish and Italian that have been described as consisting of a noun and a predicate, where the former has been argued to be interpreted as an argument of the latter: the VN structure (Sp. lavaplatos It. lavapiatti “dish washerµ) and the NV structure (Sp. videovigilanci It. videosorveglianza, “video surveillanceµ). We show that the differen
We introduce a robust and efficient methodology to solve the Ornstein-Zernike integral equation using the pseudoarc length (PAL) continuation method that reformulates the integral equation in an equivalent but nonstandard form. This enables the computation of solutions in regions where the compressibility experiences large changes or where the existence of multiple solutions and so-called branch p
Anthropogenic climate change is leading to widespread losses around the world. While the focus of research over the last decade has largely been on economic or tangible losses, researchers have begun to shift their focus to understanding the non-economic or intangible dimensions of loss more deeply. Loss of life, biodiversity and social cohesion are some of the losses that are beginning to be expl
Ultra-scaled ferroelectrics are desirable for high-density nonvolatile memories and neuromorphic computing; however, for advanced applications, single domain dynamics and defect behavior need to be understood at scaled geometries. Here, we demonstrate the integration of a ferroelectric gate stack on a heterostructure tunnel field-effect transistor (TFET) with subthermionic operation. On the basis
In the modern world religion is loudly wielded with anti-environmentalist and authoritarian consequences, following the footsteps of historical religious entanglement with industrial and capitalist values. In the context of intentionally co-creating an alternative future, this study argues that it is central to engage with religious environmentalism to highlight a different heritage and cosmologic
Vi har sett tydliga tecken på en strid mellan kreditperspektivet och marknadsperspektivet. Anledningen till den s.k. striden gällande de osäkra kunderna anser vi vara att kreditperspektivet vanligen är riskminimerande, medan marknadsperspektivet innebär större riskbenägenhet och en vilja att skapa relationer till de flesta potentiella kunder. Vidare ser kreditbedömningen till stor del lika ut i fa
In recent years, exterior thermal insulation systems became more and more important leading to an increasing amount of houses equipped with biocide-containing organic façade coatings or fungicide treated wood. It is known that these biocides, e.g. terbutryn, carbendazim, and diuron, as well as wood preservatives as propiconazole, leach out of the material through contact with wind driven rain. Hen
High amplitude non-linear acoustic methods have shown potential for the identification of micro damage in brittle materials such as concrete. Commonly, these methods evaluate a non-linearity parameter from the relative change in frequency and attenuation with strain amplitude. Here, a novel attenuation model is introduced to describe the free reverberation from a standard impact resonance frequenc
Increasingly, with the data collected at the LHC we are confronted with the possible existence of flow in pp collisions. In this work, we show that PYTHIA 8 produces flowlike effects in events with multiple hard subcollisions due to color string formations between final partons from independent hard scatterings, the so-called color reconnection. We present studies of different identified hadron ob
