A phenomenological study of the isolated photon production in high energy pp and pA collisions at RHIC and LHC energies is performed. Using the color dipole approach we investigate the production cross section differential in the transverse momentum of the photon considering three different phenomenological models for the universal dipole cross section. We also present the predictions for the rapi

Myricetin, a flavonoid found in the plant kingdom, has previously been identified as a food molecule with beneficial effects against obesity. This property has been related with its potential to inhibit lipase, the enzyme responsible for fat digestion. In this study, we investigate the interaction between myricetin and lipase under simplified intestinal conditions from a colloidal point of view. T

Background The Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) creatinine equation is routinely used to assess renal function but exhibits varying accuracy depending on patient characteristics and clinical presentation. The overall aim of the present study was to assess if and to what extent glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimation based on creatinine can be improved.MethodsIn a cro

The individual failure of nation states to combat crime (in particular transnational crime) has led to the adoption of international, regional and bilateral legal frameworks for police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters between states. It is widely recognized that transnational criminal activities weaken the ability of states to maintain security within their own boundaries. Yet whilst t

This article provides an analysis of how the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union is going to impact on EU criminal procedural laws. From the EU’s perspective, the loss of a “critical” partner may lead to more harmonised cooperation between the remaining Member States and thus less intergovernmental features in this area in the long term. More crucially however, the future relationship between

The Northeast region of Brazil is one of the most susceptible parts of the country to the effects of climate variability leading to severe droughts or extreme floods. Indeed, drought is a major issue due to a large semiarid area that covers 53% of the region, which determines the main climate characteristics of this region. On the other hand, extreme floods have caused widespread damage in river b

Objective – Gothenburg University Library has implemented a process with the goal to combine quality assurance and strategic planning activities. The process has bottom-up and top-down features designed to generate strong staff-involvement and long-term strategic stability.Methods – In 2008 the library started implementing a system in which each library team should state a number of improvement ac

Development of a new reduced chemical kinetic reaction mechanism for kerosene-air combustion is presented. The new mechanism uses a modular based development technique and is a further development on previously presented kerosene-air mechanisms. The new mechanism consists of 30 species and 77 irreversible reactions and is developed to accurate reproduce key flame parameters yet being small enough

Purpose of the Study: This study describes a teaching innovation introduced into a retail course assignment. The purpose with the innovation was to increase students’ level of experiential learning by incorporating digital retail and collaborating with stakeholders. Method/Design: A course assignment allows students in the final semester of a Bachelor Program in Retail Management to develop a busi
