We used temperature programmed reaction spectroscopy (TPRS) and synchrotron-radiation based photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) to investigate the adsorption and oxidation of methanol (CH3OH) on Tb2O3(111) and TbO2(111) thin films grown on Pt(111). We find that methanol mainly desorbs from the Tb2O3 surface through both molecular and recombinative processes, and that a relatively small amount of adso

The isopod species Astacilla longicornis (Sowerby) has a layered rhabdom, which is the first case reported in isopod crustaceans. The rhabdom comprises the rhabdomeres of six retinular cells. It is surrounded by an extracellular palisade. Usually, palisades are intracellular in arthropods. A layered rhabdom is found in taxonomically widely separated groups within the Arthropoda and no intermediate

This document presents the results of a literature review performed in order to assess the suitability of different evacuation modelling tools for the calculation of evacuation times and assessment of fire safety in underground physics research facilities. This document is part of the research collaboration between Lund University and the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), concerni

The periodic formation of plant organs such as leaves and flowers gives rise to intricate patterns that have fascinated biologists and mathematicians alike for hundreds of years [1]. The plant hormone auxin plays a central role in establishing these patterns by promoting organ formation at sites where it accumulates due to its polar, cell-to-cell transport [2-6]. Although experimental evidence as

A survey of faster than Nyquist results over the last 15 years, with and extension of earlier binary modulation/convolutional coding results to four-level modulation.

In an analysis of climate effects, increased soil organic carbon will have a dual effect due to both increased soil fertility and carbon sequestration. Even so, soil carbon changes are neglected in many crop production LCAs. In the present study, the introduction of grass-clover crops in cereal-dominated crop production was evaluated. The grass-clover crops were used for biogas production, and the

Denna rapport handlar om den regionala ekonomiska strukturomvandling som ägt rum i Västra Götaland och Skåne sedan 1990-talet, och om den fortsatta automatiseringens framtida regionala avtryck på svenska lokala arbetsmarknader. Rapporten beskriver och gör en sammanfattning av den debatt som på senare år varit intensiv om automatiseringens framtida effekter på arbetsmarknaden. Med utgångspunkt i de

De regionala klyftorna i Sverige har ökat sedan 1980-talet. Den här utvecklingen innebär politiska utmaningar. Stora regionala ojämlikheter hotar sammanhållningen i samhället och kan minska legitimiteten i det kommunala omfördelningssystemet. Skriften sätter in de senaste 30 årens ökande regionala skillnader i ett historiskt perspektiv. För detta ändamål presenteras nya dataserier på BNP per capit

How can we shape our urban development towards sustainable and prosperous futures? This course explores sustainable cities as engines for greening the economy in Europe and around the world. We place cities in the context of sustainable urban transformation and climate change. We connect the key trends of urbanization, decarbonisation and sustainability. We examine how visions, experiments and inn

Our understanding of fundamental organismal biology has been disproportionately influenced by studies of a relatively small number of ‘model’ species extensively studied in captivity. Laboratory populations of model species are commonly subject to a number of forms of past and current selection that may affect experimental outcomes. Here, we examine these processes and their outcomes in one of the

In this work, we present the conceptual design of the backscattering time-of-flight spectrometer MIRACLES approved for construction at the long-pulse European Spallation Source (ESS). MIRACLES's unparalleled combination of variable resolution, high flux, extended energy, and momentum transfer (0.2-6 Å-1) ranges will open new avenues for neutron backscattering spectroscopy. Its remarkable flexibili

The aim was to update the 2009 European League against Rheumatism (EULAR) recommendations for the treatment of systemic sclerosis (SSc), with attention to new therapeutic questions. Update of the previous treatment recommendations was performed according to EULAR standard operating procedures. The task force consisted of 32 SSc clinical experts from Europe and the USA, 2 patients nominated by the

Context: Extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND) is the gold standard for detecting lymph node (LN) metastases in prostate cancer (PCa). The benefit of sentinel node biopsy (SNB), which is the first draining LN as assessed by imaging of locally injected tracers, remains controversial. Objective: To assess the diagnostic accuracy of SNB in PCa. Evidence acquisition: A systematic literature se

In diabetes, pancreatic ß-cells play a key role. These cells are clustered within structures called islets of Langerhans inside the pancreas and produce insulin, which is directly secreted into the blood stream. The dense vascularization of islets of Langerhans is critical for maintaining a proper regulation of blood glucose homeostasis and is known to be affected from the early stage of diabetes.
