Analysis of the interim blocking injunction judgment issued by the Patent and Market Court (PMD) in the Telia case (PMT 7262-18) and reflecitons on blocking injuctions in Sweden in general. Part 1 of 2. Published on the Kluwer Copyright Blog.

Background: Excessive smartphone use is a new and debated phenomenon frequently mentioned in the context of behavioral addiction, showing both shared and distinct traits when compared to pathological gaming and gambling. Objective: The aim of this study is to describe excessive smartphone use and associated factors among adolescents, focusing on comparisons between boys and girls. Methods: This st

Large-eddy simulations (LES) coupled with a partially-stirred reactor model and a finite-rate chemistry are carried out to investigate the effects of n-heptane injection timing on the methanol fueled dual-fuel (DF) combustion. Methanol is premixed with air in a constant volume chamber (T=1000 K, ρ=14.8 kg/m3) to form a homogeneous mixture (equivalence ratio ϕm of 0.3). Liquid fuel n-heptane is pro

This paper performs a comparative analysis to obtain the optimal cross-section shape and parameters of both pin fins and vortex generators. A novel combined structure with pin fins and vortex generators is proposed to enhance thermal performance of an integrated microchannel heat sink. Effects of nanoparticle diameter and volume fraction are investigated using Al2O3 nanofluid and DI-water as worki

Net zero emission pledges by countries and companies are everywhere at the moment. Most of these pledges rely on massive amounts of carbon removal, yet details on how this will transpire remain largely absent. The COP26 agreement suggests that markets will play a central role, but there are significant problems with this approach.

The “long nineteenth century” in European history, reaching from 1789 to 1914, is a chronological concept introduced by the British historian Eric Hobsbawm. The first part of this long century, described in his book The Age of Revolution, 1790-1848, was marked in the Nordic countries by conflicts between reform-oriented liberal forces and recalcitrant conservatives. This conflict played out politi

Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA) is a rare genetic disorder in which patients present a scarcity of erythroid precursors in an otherwise normocellular bone marrow. Most, but not all, patients carry mutations in ribosomal proteins such as RPS19, suggesting that compromised mRNA translation and ribosomal stress are pathogenic mechanisms causing depletion of erythroid precursors. To gain further insight

This paper revisits the clay mineralogy of the “smectite” alteration zone in the Krafla geothermal field via the study of an exploratory well in which temperatures range from 40 °C to 215 °C. The clay alteration consists of several mineral assemblages superimposed in time and space, resulting from different stages of water-rock interaction. Trioctahedral clay minerals (chlorite, cor-rensite and sm

While there is ongoing discussion about the details of implementation of whole genome sequencing (WGS) and whole exome sequencing (WES), there appears to be a consensus amongst geneticists that the widespread use of these approaches is not only inevitable, but will also be beneficial [1]. However, at the present time, we are unable to anticipate the full range of uses, consequences and impact of i

Objective: Both auditory and visual hypersensitivity are clinical features of mental fatigue after acquired brain damage or in neurological disorders. Both types of hypersensitivity are also associated with attention deficits, especially in neurodevelopmental syndromes. The aim of this study was to examine auditory and visual hypersensitivity, and associations to attention, in a group of children

Plastic extension of Ezkil by Ramon Lazkano. Brass sheets, wood sheet, mosquito net, speakers, amplifier + 3 microphones and a guitarist when “needed”.

Beam characteristics at low energy are an absolute necessity for an acceptable injection in the next stage of a linear accelerator, and are also necessary to reduce beam loss and radiation inside the machine. CEA is taking part of ESS linac construction, by designing Emittance Measurement Units (EMU) for the Low Energy Beam Transport (LEBT). The EMU are designed to qualify the proton beam produced

The physical origin of sub-band gap photoluminescence in Ruddlesden-Poppers two-dimensional (2D) lead halide perovskites (LHPs) is still under debate. In this paper, we studied the photoluminescence features from two different facets of 2D LHP single crystals: the in-plane facet (IF) containing the 2D inorganic layers and the facet perpendicular to the 2D layers (PF). At the IF, the free carriers

The connection with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) of dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (hDHODH), a key enzyme in pyrimidine biosynthesis, has attracted significant interest from pharma as a possible AML therapeutic target. We recently discovered compound 1, a potent hDHODH inhibitor (IC50 = 1.2 nM), able to induce myeloid differentiation in AML cell lines (THP1) in the low nM range (EC50 = 32.8 nM)
