This chapter focuses on the use of doped carbon nanomaterials in catalysis. The availability of carbon nanotubes in the ‘90s and graphene about 10Â years later, prompted the development of fundamental research and novel nanotechnologies. We discuss this topic from a point of view that links fundamental surface science to the field of catalysis, in order to present the state of the art.

Background: Cutaneous melanoma is steadily increasing worldwide. The new AJCC 8th edition was recently launched and introduced several changes in melanoma staging, particularly for stage III. We conducted a population-based registry study with the purpose to evaluate the impact and prognostic accuracy of the new classification in Sweden. Methods: Consecutive patients diagnosed with stage III melan

Studies on the impact of cleft palate surgery on speech with stringent methodology are called for, since we still do not know the best timing or the best method for surgery. The purpose was to report on speech outcome for all Swedish-speaking 5-year-olds born with a non-syndromic unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP), in 2008–2010, treated at Sweden’s six cleft palate centres, and to compare spee

Concentrated solutions of monoclonal antibodies have attracted considerable attention due to their importance in pharmaceutical formulations; yet, their tendency to aggregate and the resulting high viscosity pose considerable problems. Here we tackle this problem by a soft condensed matter physics approach, which combines a variety of experimental measurements with a patchy colloid model, amenable

Androgen ablating drugs increase life expectancy in men with metastatic prostate cancer, but resistance inevitably develops. In a majority of these recurrent tumors, the androgen axis is reactivated in the form of increased androgen receptor (AR) expression. Targeting proteins that are expressed as a down-stream effect of AR activity is a promising rationale for management of this disease. The hum

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to create a better understanding of how entrepreneurial education research has evolved with regard to pedagogy over the past decades. Design/methodology/approach: The authors employed systematic review methodology to enable an in-depth analysis of the literature in a process that was both replicable and transparent. Guided by the research purpose, the systemat

Impaired insulin secretion from pancreatic islets is a hallmark of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Altered chromatin structure may contribute to the disease. We therefore studied the impact of T2D on open chromatin in human pancreatic islets. We used assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-seq) to profile open chromatin in islets from T2D and non-diabetic donors. We identified 57,
