A high-spin rotational band was observed in the N=90 nucleus Yb-160 with moment of inertia and decay characteristics very similar to recently discovered sequences in Er-157,Er-158. These latter structures were discussed in terms of strongly deformed triaxial bands. Detailed cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations were performed that predict that well-deformed triaxial structures are also expected

In contemporary nuclear physics, the European Advanced GAmma Tracking Array (AGATA) represents a crucial detection system for cutting-edge nuclear structure studies. AGATA consists of highly segmented high-purity germanium crystals and uses the pulse-shape analysis technique to determine both the position and the energy of the γ-ray interaction points in the crystals. It is the tracking algorithms

The article is focused on the history of the Hanseatic League.

Recent in vitro experiments have shown that DNA ejection from bacteriophage can be partially stopped by surrounding osmotic pressure when ejected DNA is digested by DNase I in the course of ejection. In this work, we argue by a combination of experimental techniques (osmotic suppression without DNase I monitored by UV absorbance, pulse-field electrophoresis, and cryo-transmission electron microsco

Background: HIV-positive women have an increased risk of developing cervical cancer (CC) compared to the HIV-negative women. Despite this, HIV and CC screening programs in many developing countries have remained disintegrated. Therefore, the objective of the study was to explore perceptions of healthcare providers (HCP) and policy makers (PM) about integration of HIV and CC screening services in U

This book is a collection of articles on the subject of the history of archaeology in the Nordic area.

Artikeln fokuserar på lokala handlingsstrategier för att tillförsäkra skäliga levnadsvillkor och lyfter även fram reflektioner utifrån Malmökommissionens studier om försörjningsstödets funktion och räckvidd med fokus på familjers och barns ekonomiska utsatthet. Den ökade inkomstojämliketen tillsammans med en hög andel Malmöbors osäkra eller obefintliga ställning på den reglerade arbetsmarknaden oc

The Bicoid (Bcd) protein gradient in Drosophila serves as a paradigm for gradient formation in textbooks. To explain the generation of the gradient, the ARTS model, which is based on the observation of a bcd mRNA gradient, proposes that the bcd mRNA, localized at the anterior pole at fertilization, migrates along microtubules (MTs) at the cortex to the posterior to form a bcd mRNA gradient which i

Proteinuria is associated with progression of kidney disease and is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The pathophysiological alterations resulting in proteinuria are obscure, although proteinuria is often associated with pathological changes in the glomerular filtration barrier (GFB). It is therefore of great interest to study the physiology of the GFB, in orde

We demonstrate a method that likely will improve the accuracy of functionals used in density functional theory and pair density functional theory. In deriving the method we show that the coupling-integrated exchange-correlation hole used in density functional theory obeys all the N-representability conditions as non-integrated holes and we give two such conditions, not normally used by the density

Globaisering ställer krav på socialförsäkringar som ger ett gott skydd, men även på en design som främjar rörlighet. Rapporten analyserar hur socialförsäkringar bör utformas för att ge effektivitets- och fördelningsvinster.

This paper reviews and extends searches for the direct pair production of the scalar supersymmetric partners of the top and bottom quarks in proton-proton collisions collected by the ATLAS collaboration during the LHC Run 1. Most of the analyses use 20 [Formula: see text] of collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of [Formula: see text] TeV, although in some case an additional [Formula: see text] of

Infections frequently consist of more than one strain of a given pathogen. Experiments have shown that co-infecting strains often compete, so that the infection intensity of each strain in mixed infections is lower than in single strain infections. Such within-host competition can have important epidemiological and evolutionary consequences. However, the extent of competition has rarely been inves

Northern peatlands hold large amounts of organic carbon (C) in their soils and are as such important in a climate change context. Blanket bogs, i.e. nutrient-poor peatlands restricted to maritime climates, may be extra vulnerable to global warming since they require a positive water balance to sustain their moss dominated vegetation and C sink functioning. This study presents a 4.5 year record of
