Glycophospholipids combine the structural versatility of phospholipids and carbohydrates, but their potential as excipients and performance in other related applications remains largely unexplored due to their low natural abundance. We have synthesized four novel phosphatidyl saccharide conjugates with different carbohydrate head groups; glucose, galactose, fructose and xylose by using a Phospholi

Denna artikel undersöker hur innebörden av ekonomisk ersättning kan omdefinieras över tid i svenska familjehemsföräldrars liv. Med utgångspunkt i fyrtio kvalitativa intervjuer visar jag att familjehemsföräldrar initialt kan tona ned eller bortse från de ekonomiska aspekterna av uppdraget, men senare komma att vara beroende av denna inkomst – inte nödvändigtvis av egenintresse, utan som ett sätt atThis article examines how the meaning of financial compensation may be redefined over time in the lives of Swedish foster parents. Drawing on forty qualitative interviews, I demonstrate that while foster parents may initially downplay or disregard the monetary aspects of fostering, they can later come to depend on this income, not necessarily out of self-interest, but as a means of deepening their

The standard approach for visual place recognition is to use global image descriptors to retrieve the most similar database images for a given query image. The results can then be further improved with re-ranking methods that re-order the top scoring images. However, existing methods focus on re-ranking based on the same image descriptors that were used for the initial retrieval, which we argue pr

The performance of wireless communications at sea are often limited by fading caused by reflections at the sea surface. The reliability could potentially be improved by employing multiple antennas. We have conducted massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) measurements at sea in order to evaluate the performance. The measurements were conducted at 5.6 GHz with 64 dual-polarized antennas, whic

—Capacitor chargers for pulsed power loads are typically realized as two-stage systems consisting of a front-end rectifier and a dclink filter followed by a dc/dc converter. Whereas such systems generally operate in constant current charging mode, it has recently been demonstrated that constant power charging may be achieved and can effectively eliminate line-side flicker. In this article, these i

This article examines the production of climate-related loss, specifically loss of access to land, among Indigenous and ethnic minority farming communities in northeastern Cambodia. We analyse how rapid socio-environmental and political-economic changes are eroding smallholder farmers' capacities to cope with climate impacts and can lead to what we call climate-related loss. We show how climate ch

This paper investigates the detection of permittivity defects in a fabricated, known object, motivated by a desire to detect errors in additively manufactured objects that may affect their electromagnetic performance. We use scattering parameter sensitivities to reconstruct the relative permittivity of a generic 2D object from microwave scattering measurements and a known reference model. To find

While numerous extraction methods have been applied to the brown algae Saccharina latissima, a systematic evaluation of how individual extraction parameters influence the extraction of each target polysaccharide has not previously been reported. Accordingly, this study compared conventional and advanced techniques for extracting fucoidan, laminarin, and alginate from pre-treated biomass. Conventio

With the abundance of data and digital traces of human behavior that are currently available, and the accessible algorithmic analyses to analyze them, management scholars have the opportunity to expand their scope of theoretical discovery and tackle increasingly complex management. However, we need additional elaboration on how algorithmic analysis can augment humans inference making, and how to b

Recent studies provide compelling evidence that transition dynamics differ between sectors. This paper develops a theoretical framework for analysing the structural composition of a sector and how it shapes transition dynamics. We elaborate a conceptual approach, which emphasizes socio-technical configurations and their degrees of institutionalization and mutual alignment as the key building block

The energetics and dynamics of ion assembly in solution has broad influence in nanomaterials and inorganic synthesis. To investigate the fundamental processes involved, we present a time-resolved x-ray solution scattering (TR-XSS) study of the trinuclear silver and thallium complexes of the diplatinum ion PtPOP [Pt2(H2P2O5) 4 4 − ] in aqueous solution. These complexes, their structural properties,

Objectives: Current therapeutic strategies for essential thrombocythemia (ET) are mainly considered to prevent thrombo-hemorrhagic events, without increasing the rate of fibrotic progression or leukemic evolution. To treat the patients appropriately, the precise diagnosis of ET is essential. Although approximately 30% of ET cases are diagnosed as CALR mutation-positive; commercially available poly
