Software News and Update MOLCAS 7: The Next Generation

Some of the new unique features of the MOLCAS quantum chemistry package version 7 are presented inthis report. In particular, the Cholesky decomposition method applied to some quantum chemical methods is described. This approach is used both in the context of a straight forward approximation of the two-electron integrals and in the generation of so-called auxiliary basis sets. The article describe

Continuous-Time Gray-Box Identification of Mechanical Systems Using Subspace-Based Identification Methods

We consider the problem of gray-box identification of dynamic models for mechanical systems. In particular, the problem is approached by means of continuous-time system identification using subspace-based methods based on discrete-time input-output identification data. A method is developed, with the property that the structure of the model resulting from fundamental physical first principles is o

Metastatic Breast Cancer: Biomolecular Characterization and Targeted Therapy

Popular Abstract in English Every year globally, an estimated 1.7 million women are diagnosed with breast cancer, while over half a million are killed by this disease. The principal cause of death is metastasis, which is the spreading of the cancer cells from the breast to other vital organs like the brain, liver or lungs, resulting in organ failure and subsequently death. Even though the past decMetastasis is a complex process that remains a major challenge in the clinical management of cancer, because most cancer-related deaths are attributed to disseminated disease rather than the primary tumor. Despite the significant advances in the prediction of prognosis, and therapeutic management of primary breast cancers, coupled with the substantial improvement in our understanding of the molecu

Childhood cancer survivor cohorts in Europe

With the advent of multimodality therapy, the overall five-year survival rate from childhood cancer has improved considerably now exceeding 80% in developed European countries. This growing cohort of survivors, with many years of life ahead of them, has raised the necessity for knowledge concerning the risks of adverse long-term sequelae of the life-saving treatments in order to provide optimal sc

Quantitative detection of myocardial ischaemia by stress echocardiography; a comparison with SPECT

Aims: Real-time perfusion (RTP) adenosine stress echocardiography (ASE) can be used to visually evaluate myocardial ischaemia. The RTP power modulation technique angio-mode (AM), provides images for off-line perfusion quantification using Qontrast (R) software, generating values of peak signal intensity (A), myocardial blood flow velocity (beta) and myocardial blood flow (Ax beta). By comparing re

Children in Old Bodies : Age and Ageing in the History of Institutional Psychiatry

The aim of this paper is to examine what meanings “age” was given when Swedish psychiatric institutions were defining, categorising and caring for their patients from 1850 to 1970. The paper focuses on institutional psychiatry’s perspectives on individuals of advanced age and on the way that these individuals were understood in terms directly or indirectly associated with age. The majority of aged

Towards an efficient atomic frequency comb quantum memory

We present an efficient photon-echo experiment based on atomic frequency combs [Phys. Rev. A 79 (2009) 052329]. Echoes containing an energy of up to 35% of that of the input pulse are observed in a Pr3+ -doped Y2SiO5 crystal. This material allows for the precise spectral holeburning needed to make a sharp and highly absorbing comb structure. We compare our results with a simple theoretical model w

Bimembrane diffusion probe for continuous recording of dissolved and entrapped bubble gas concentrations in peat

Peatlands are significant sources of the important greenhouse gas CH4 and generally known as sinks for atmospheric CO2 through peat accumulation. Accurate measurements of the subsurface concentrations of these gases are of pivotal importance for experimental studies improving our understanding of the dynamics and controls on the exchanges of these gases between peat soils and the atmosphere. In th

Abstract in Danish I maj måned 1223 blev Valdemar 2. Sejr under en jagttur på Lyø taget til fange af sin egen vassal, graven af Schwerin. Begivenheden er siden af danske middelalderhistorikere blevet betegnet som en af de mest katastrofale hændelser i dansk historie, da det var begyndelsen til, at det danske storrige i Østersøregionen brød sammen.Denne artikel undersøger den følelsesmæssige respon

Falls in the general elderly population: a 3- and 6- year prospective study of risk factors using data from the longitudinal population study 'Good ageing in Skane'.

Accidental falls in the elderly are a major health problem, despite extensive research on risk factors and prevention. Only a limited number of multifactorial, long-term prospective studies have been performed on risk factors for falls in the general elderly population. The aim of this study was to identify risk factors predicting falls in a general elderly population after three and six years, us

Peer clustering of exercise and eating behaviours among young adults in Sweden: a cross-sectional study of egocentric network data

Background: Research suggests that the growing prevalence of obesity may be related to the influence of the health behaviours of peers. We look at clustering of exercise and eating behaviours amongst a previously unstudied group, young adults in Sweden. Previous research has mainly been conducted in the United States and Britain, countries that have relatively high rates of obesity. Methods: Using

Exit Pursued by a Bugbear : Stage Renderings of Mythical Moments in The Winter's Tale

This paper takes as its starting‑point three particular moments in The Winter’s Tale (Exit pursued by a bear (3.1), Time (4.1) and the Statue scene (5.3) – moments that have become famous, or infamous, even mythical, by being so difficult to stage1. Having worked intensively with The Winter’s Tale throughout the academic year 2012/13 (among other things directing it with two consecutive groups of

PHENIX first measurement of J/Psi elliptic flow parameter v2 in Au-Au collisions at sqrt(s) = 200 GeV

Recent results indicate that the J/ψ suppression pattern differs with rapidity showing a larger suppression at forward rapidity. J/ψ suppression mechanisms based on energy density (such as color screening, interaction with co-movers, etc) predict the opposite trend. However, it is expected that more pairs should be available to form quarkonia at mid-rapidity via recombination. Some models provide

Forced expression of the DEK-NUP214 fusion protein promotes proliferation dependent on upregulation of mTOR

Background: The t(6;9)(p23;q34) chromosomal translocation is found in 1% of acute myeloid leukemia and encodes the fusion protein DEK-NUP214 (formerly DEK-CAN) with largely uncharacterized functions. Methods: We expressed DEK-NUP214 in the myeloid cell lines U937 and PL-21 and studied the effects on cellular functions. Results: In this study, we demonstrate that expression of DEK-NUP214 increases

Mind the gap and bridge the gap: research excellence and diffusion of academic knowledge in Sweden

This paper aims to highlight the changing and diversifying nature of academic work related to various forms of knowledge production and diffusion. Focusing on the changing research policy landscape in Sweden, three interrelated questions are investigated: what academics do in terms of commercialisation and public dissemination; how they perform these activities; and why they engage in these activi

Oxidized In-containing III-V(100) surfaces: Formation of crystalline oxide films and semiconductor-oxide interfaces

Previously found oxidized III-V semiconductor surfaces have been generally structurally disordered and useless for applications. We disclose a family of well-ordered oxidized InAs, InGaAs, InP, and InSb surfaces found by experiments. The found epitaxial oxide-III-V interface is insulating and free of defects related to the harmful Fermi-level pinning, which opens up new possibilities to develop lo
