Copper-modified zeolites and silica for conversion of methane to methanol
Powder materials containing copper ions supported on ZSM-5 (Cu-Zeolite Socony Mobil-5) and SSZ-13 (Cu-Standard Oil synthesised zeolite-13), and predominantly CuO nanoparticles on amorphous SiO2 were synthesised, characterised, wash-coated onto ceramic monoliths and, for the first time, compared as catalysts for direct conversion of methane to methanol (DCMM) at ambient pressure (1 atm) using O2, N
Model of air cooled windings for traction machine
This article presents a concept of direct cooled windings for electrical machines, pumping air through hollow rectangular copper windings. The thermal constraints pose a serious limitation in the performance of many applications of electrical machines, not least in electrical vehicles. The difference between temporary maximum output and continuous output is often substantial. This difference can b
Impact of closely-coupled triple-pilot and conventional double-pilot injection strategies in a LD diesel engine
Three injection strategies are compared in a light-duty (LD) diesel engine at a medium load point. One strategy, representative of a Euro 6 LD injection strategy, has a double-pilot/main/single-post sequence. There is a modest temporal spacing after the first pilot and second pilot. Additional strategies add a third pilot and greatly reduce the spacing after the pilots. These pilots are referred t

Dose efficient compton X-ray microscopy
X-ray imaging techniques have proven invaluable to study biological systems at high resolution due to the penetration power and short wavelength of this radiation. In practice, the resolution and sensitivity of current X-ray imaging techniques are not limited by the performance of optics or image-recovery methods but by radiation damage. We propose the use of Compton (inelastic) X-ray scattering f
Sensitivity-based optimization for the design of a grating interferometer for clinical X-ray phase contrast mammography
An X-ray grating interferometer (GI) suitable for clinical mammography must comply with quite strict dose, scanning time and geometry limitations, while being able to detect tumors, microcalcifications and other abnormalities. Such a design task is not straightforward, since obtaining optimal phase-contrast and dark-field signals with clinically compatible doses and geometrical constraints is rema
Liver-related complications and metabolic comorbidities during long-term follow-up of patients with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is highly associated with the metabolic syndrome, and due to increasing prevalence of for example obesity it is now the most common liver disease in the world. A minority progress to advanced fibrosis/cirrhosis, which is associated with increased mortality, but it is not entirely clear which patients who have an increased risk of fibrosis.Gener
Insulin resistance with impaired fasting glucose increases the risk of NAFLD
Background: Our aim was to investigate the frequency of elevated liver enzymes and NAFLD in patients with known insulin resistance during 15 years of follow-up. Methods: Subjects with insulin resistance were identified from a population-based prospective cohort study in Sweden, Malm? Diet and Cancer Study, conducted in 1991-1996. Inall, 285 non-diabetic subjects with insulin resistance established
Swedish and Scottish National Transport Policy and Spend: A Social Equity Analysis
The topic of social equity in transport planning has been dealt with, in particular, by authorssuch as Martens (2012) and Martens and Golob (2012) using a social justice based-approach. However,such an approach, whilst valuable and analytically rigorous (based as it is on accessibility modelling),does not consider a wide range of possible other social impacts of transport, as set out in a framewor
Reference intervals for reticulocyte hemoglobin content in healthy infants
Objectives: Iron deficiency anemia in childhood is a serious public health problem worldwide. Reticulocyte hemoglobin content (Ret-He) is a novel biomarker of iron deficiency adopted for adults but there is a lack of reference intervals for Ret-He in infants. The aim of this study was to provide data from healthy infants. Methods: Swedish infants (n = 456), born at term after normal pregnancies we

Holding Sweden hostage : firearm-related violence
Swedish as well as foreign publications have reported a sharp increase in firearm-related violence in Sweden. None of these publications, however, combined official statistics from the Swedish police, the National Council for Crime Prevention (NCCP), and the National Board of Health and Welfare (NBHW), to study firearm-related violence in the last 2 years: 2016-2017. The results of this study show

Widespread global peatland establishment and persistence over the last 130,000 y
Glacial-interglacial variations in CO 2 and methane in polar ice cores have been attributed, in part, to changes in global wetland extent, but the wetland distribution before the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, 21 ka to 18 ka) remains virtually unknown. We present a study of global peatland extent and carbon (C) stocks through the last glacial cycle (130 ka to present) using a newly compiled database
Improving requirements-test alignment by prescribing practices that mitigate communication gaps
The communication of requirements within software development is vital for project success. Requirements engineering and testing are two processes that when aligned can enable the discovery of issues and misunderstandings earlier, rather than later, and avoid costly and time-consuming rework and delays. There are a number of practices that support requirements-test alignment. However, each organis
Policy-making for the diffusion of social innovations : the case of the Barnahus model in the Nordic region and the broader European context
The Barnahus model was launched in Iceland in 1998, and it subsequently spread to all the Nordic countries. It is an interagency, co-located model for working with cases of violence and abuse against children that addresses two vital concerns of welfare societies: to process cases through the legal system and to offer support and treatment to victims. The model is currently recommended as a best-p
