Sustainability goals regarding biobased chemicals and fuels can lead to increased demand for cereal straw, which could lead to undesirable effects on soil organic matter (SOM) content. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of removing straw on SOM, using a life cycle approach based on agricultural statistics and soil carbon modelling. This regional evaluation in southern Sweden showed

Here, we report on large eddy simulation (LES) of supersonic flow, mixing, self-ignition, and combustion in a supersonic hydrogen jet in a crossflow configuration. The configuration has been experimentally investigated at Stanford and consists of a rectilinear channel with a ramp inlet in which a hydrogen jet discharges at a 90° angle to the high enthalpy supersonic crossflow. This configuration h

Background. Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a complex heterogeneous disorder affecting multiple organs. Gene expression studies in organs central to T2D, such as pancreatic islets and skeletal muscle will help elucidate and disentangle molecular mechanisms underlying T2D. Deep phenotyping using commonly measured clinical variables allows for the identification of clinically relevant T2D subgroups, repres

Purpose: We investigated how the C flow from plants to microorganisms varies throughout the year in a temperate grassland. Additionally, we investigated how the C flow relates to saprotrophic activity and vegetation changes. Methods: In situ stable isotope pulse labelling (13CO2) was employed to estimate the flow of recently plant-derived C to soil microorganisms by using signature fatty acids. Ba

Having found that carbonyl sulfide (COS), works well as a catalyst in the transformation of amino acids to polypeptides, we have now tested COS as a catalyst also for the formation of substances that might be thought of as partners in the building of RNA. The model used was selective energy transfer (SET). This model implies that a certain number of vibrational quanta are donated from the catalyst

OBJECTIVES: To study evidence for construct validity, the aim was to describe the outcome from the recently developed Diabetes Questionnaire, assess the associations of that outcome with clinical variables and generic health-related quality of life, and study the sensitivity to differences between clinically relevant groups of glycaemic control in adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes in a nation

This thesis is a grammar of Kalamang, a Papuan language of western New Guinea in the east of Indonesia. It is spoken by around 130 people on the biggest of the Karas Islands. This grammar is based on 11 months of fieldwork. The primary source of data is a corpus of more than 15 hours of spoken Kalamang recorded and transcribed between 2015 and 2019. The grammar covers a wide range of topics beyond

Though poetry analysis is a central component of literary studies in higher education, research frequently reports that attitudes of both students and teachers to its incorporation in syllabi are mixed (Weaven & Clark, 2014). Previous research suggests a complex relationship between attitudes to and knowledge of poetry with some studies indicating that negative attitudes might be the result of

The problem of equivalence in terms of multistability properties between gene regulatory network models of different dimensionality has been recently addressed by Schittler et al.(2013). The authors in that work proposed construction rules for a high-dimensional dynamical system, when given a low-dimensional dynamical system and the high-dimensional network structure. However, the proof therein wa

In this paper, we extend the generalized SPICE estimator to the multichannel case, illustrating the resulting performance gain for direction of arrival estimation. The resulting estimator is found to offer improved estimation performance and robustness to the presence of correlated sources.

This study explores how Mayan people from Guatemala and Swedes view and behavetoward death. Using an interpretative phenomenological analysis, 10 participants from each culture were interviewed to elucidate the most relevant and important emerging themes. The Mayan approach to death is based on a collective perspective in which consultations with Elders, ancient traditions, and rituals help provid
