Context. Hot Jupiters are giant planets subject to intense stellar radiation. The physical and chemical properties of their atmosphere make them the most amenable targets for atmospheric characterization. Aims. In this paper we analyze the photometry collected during the secondary eclipses of the hot Jupiter WASP-3 b by CHEOPS, TESS, and Spitzer. Our aim is to characterize the atmosphere of the pl
With increasing climate-induced stresses and ageing infrastructure worldwide, integrating sustainability into infrastructure management is essential. Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) systems provide valuable insights for assessing and maintaining the safety and integrity of ageing structures, but their implementation entails significant costs. Resources allocated to SHM could alternatively suppo
Purpose: To define the curriculum content for two interactive learning courses on age-related macular degeneration (AMD): (1) an advanced course tailored for general ophthalmologists and (2) a basic course for non-ophthalmologist healthcare staff. This initiative aims to establish a national consensus on the educational framework for AMD management among general ophthalmologists in Denmark. Method
Makerspaces and fabrication laboratories (fablabs) have received growing scholarly attention for their potential to advance innovation. These spaces provide individuals access to technological tools while enabling collaboration and community-building around technology-driven activities. Yet, existing research on how innovation unfolds within these settings remains fragmented. This paper reviews an
BACKGROUND AND AIM[|]The incidence of skin cancer has risen sharply over the past 30 years - coinciding with the rapidly increasing tattoo trend. In Sweden, 20% of the population is tattooed. The link between tattoos and skin cancer needs to be investigated, due to the presence of carcinogenic chemicals in tattoo ink, and the lack of epidemiological studies of the association. We aimed to investig
A necessary foundation for realizing circularity in the building sector is a good understanding of our existing building stock. This includes the design approaches and building codes used at the time of construction. The provisions in building codes have evolved from a heuristically adjusted permissible stress method to a semi-probabilistic safety format using partial safety factors. In addition,
As the construction industry adopts more data-driven and sustainable practices, Building Information Modelling (BIM) is increasingly used for energy analysis, lifecycle management, and maintenance planning. However, its integration with service life performance analysis especially for wood, a material susceptible to environmental degradation remains limited. This study presents a BIM-based framewo
A survey including 3112 responses from individual end users of wood cladding, from Norway, Sweden and Germany, was conducted with questions related to their experience and preferences regarding cladding with and without coatings. Based on these results and established scientific understanding of Service Life Prediction (SLP) of wood cladding, two decision trees were provided to guide end users in
Despite decades of experience in urban planning, Iran lacks a robust urban policy framework to guide its rapid urbanization toward sustainable and resilient development. Moreover, its existing sectoral policies have failed to operate within an integrated framework. The formulation of a National Urban Policy (NUP), as proposed by UN-Habitat, offers a unified structure to facilitate the preparation,
Background Trauma audit filters, based on standards of care, serve as quality indicators and screening tools for patient cases to be assessed at interdisciplinary morbidity and mortality conferences. These conferences aim to identify potential opportunities for improvement in the care of trauma patients. This study aimed to determine the performance of individual audit filters in predicting opport
Background Wound dehiscence is a known complication after anorectal malformations (ARMs) surgery. The aim was to evaluate if a standardized post-posterior sagittal anorectoplasty (PSARP) treatment program decreased wound dehiscence rates. Methods Wound dehiscence rates within 30 days post-PSARP were compared in a case-control single-center study between patients with a standardized post-PSARP trea
Malrotation leading to massive chylous ascites is rare. A 9-year-old girl was investigated for slowly increasing abdominal distension under a year. She had no vomiting, weight loss, or pain, but was bothered in social situations. Medical investigations, including ultrasound and computed tomography scans, revealed massive ascites. Laparocentesis yielded milk-colored fluid, confirmed as lymph throug
Betulin is a natural pentacyclic triterpene, and is contained in birch tree, especially its outer bark. Betulin can be used as a hydrophobic building block for production of biobased surfactants. This invention is related to amphiphilic betulin derivatives, and their efficient production method. And resulting materials can be used as biobased surfactants.
The present invention relates to an amphipathic compound, a preparation method therefor, and a surfactant composition comprising same and, specifically, to a compound selected from the group consisting of steviol monoglycoside-acid, steviol monoglycoside-ester, and steviol monoglycoside-amide, a preparation method therefor, and a surfactant composition comprising at least one of these compounds.
Reductive amination is crucial for synthesizing amines in pharmaceutical and industry, yet selectively producing primary amines on a large scale remains challenging. This work presents a continuous-flow reductive amination process using benzaldehyde with NH3 and H2 as the nitrogen sources and reductant. A cobalt catalyst supported on nitrogen-doped carbon derived from chitosan (Co@CS) was develope
Contributing to analyses of housing welfare and inequality, this article examines how the territorial circumscription of asset-based welfare policies impact the pattern and trajectory of residential inequality in situ. We look to France, which since the 2000s has used asset-based welfare policies as a tool for rebalancing local territorial cohesion throughout the country. These policies, which onc
Something from Somewhere is about taking a starting point in an actual position, and in an ambition to change the familiar and the existing. Based on local construction projects, stories about alternative futures are constructed. With a distant view on a nearby landscape, the everyday is interpreted, arranged and manipulated with the help of sequences, colour and form into new peculiar worlds
