The novel structure of the δ1 phase in the cobalt-zinc system was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structure features fused double icosahedra linked by edge-and face-sharing. The δ1-CoZn7.8 structure is incommensurately modulated along the columnar b direction. The extent of the linear pentagonal antiprismatic intergrowth is limited to a maximum of two overlapping icosahedra bec

The copper vanadium oxide bronze Cu2.33-xV4O 11 exhibits a three part composite structure refined on the basis of XRD low-temperature studies. It crystallizes in the triclinic system with the non-centric superspace group X1 and cell parameters a=15.280(3)Å; b 1=3.616(1)Å; c=14.674(3)Å; α=90.0°; β=101.95(3)°; γ=90.0° with a modulation q-vector equal to (0,0.11,0). The three different parts of this

Synthesis, X-rays, TEM and HREM studies of the composition x = 0.25 of the solid solution Sb2W1-xMoxO6 are reported. The phase crystallises in the monoclinic system, space group C2 and the cell parameters of its average structure are a = 11.1296(6) Å, b = 9.8868(9) Å, a = 18.501(2) Å, and β = 96.951(9)°. Mo and W atoms are ordered in the 1/3 ratio. Twining and extended defects have been studied by

We report, for the first time, on a SPICE simulation study of the circuit-level power-performance impact of device traps in a state-of-the-art III-V heterojunction tunnel FET (TFET). First, the individual parasitic effects of junction bulk traps and oxide interface traps are incorporated in a compact model and validated against measurement-calibrated TCAD data, where we propose an analytical formu

Aim: To evaluate the frequency of temporomandibular disorder (TMD) pain among adolescents with a history of preterm birth compared to a matched control group. Methods: A group of 192 preterm-born adolescents was followed up at the age of 17-19 years and compared to matched controls. Self-report questionnaires included screening questions about TMD pain, chronic diseases, general health, depression

IRedan 1990 skrev teaterkritikern Leif Zern att ”Årets kritiska klyscha har med kraft hunnit etablera sig: berörd. Det går inte en dag utan att någon recensent påstår sig vara berörd eller oberörd”. Nästan 30 år senare är termen fortfarande en kraftfull kvalitetsmarkör i teaterdiskussionen. Det intressanta är att denna kvalitet, att beröras, ofta ses som ett så självklart kriterium på den goda tea

Background: The signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) pathway is observed to be constitutively activated in several malignancies including prostate cancer (PCa). In the present study, we investigated the expression of total STAT3 (tSTAT3) and two forms of activated phosphorylated STAT3 (pSTAT3 727 and pSTAT3 705 ) in tissue microarrays (TMA) of two cohorts of localized horm

Background: The outlook for patients with esophageal and gastric (EG) cancer remains poor. Hence, there is a compelling need to identify novel treatment strategies and complementary biomarkers. Programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and mismatch repair deficiency (dMMR) are putative biomarkers of response to immune-checkpoint blockade, but their prognostic value and interrelationship in EG cancer have

Melanoma of the skin is the sixth most common type of cancer in Europe and accounts for 3.4% of all diagnosed cancers. More alarming is the degree of recurrence that occurs with approximately 20% of patients lethally relapsing following treatment. Malignant melanoma is a highly aggressive skin cancer and metastases rapidly extend to the regional lymph nodes (stage 3) and to distal organs (stage 4)

Cognitive impairments (CI), associated with the consequences of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, are increasingly prevalent among older adults, leading to deterioration in self-care, mobility, and interpersonal relationships among them. Innovative Assistive Technologies (IAT) such as electronic reminders and surveillance systems are considered as increasingly important tools to facilitate

The aqueous behaviour of the anionic octa-tetramethylammonium substituted cubic silsesquioxane, [N(CH 3 ) 4 ] 8 [Si 8 O 20 ], was studied with quantitative 29 Si-NMR. This molecule partially fragments in aqueous solutions, forming several smaller entities. The most abundant silica species are the monomer, dimer, cyclic trimer, cyclic tetramer and double three-ring. Higher concentrations are

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore if a ringing cell phone could impact cognitive performance as well as being agitating to provoke aggressive reactions. The study investigated variables that could impact a participant’s willingness to aggress and retaliate, such as sensitivity to arousal and dark personalities (DRPs), Machiavellianism, narcissism, and subclinical psychopathy and sad

Billions of animals migrate between breeding and non-breeding areas worldwide. Partial migration, where both migrants and residents coexist within a population, occurs in most animal taxa, including fish, insects, birds and mammals. Partial migration has been hypothesised to be the most common form of migration and to be an evolutionary precursor to full migration. Despite extensive theoretical mo

Detta är den sjunde publikationen i en serie småskrifter som alla handlar om vetenskap och beprövad erfarenhet. Denna gång ligger fokus på socialtjänsten. I de tidigare skrifterna i denna serie har det framkommit hur viktigt be- greppet vetenskap och beprövad erfarenhet är för en rad verksamhetsområden, till exempel medicin, skola och poli- tik. Inte att förglömma begreppet eller begre

Sharing Cities Sweden aims to put Sweden on the map as a country that actively and critically works with the sharing economy in cities. The objectives of the program are to develop world-leading test-beds for the sharing economy in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö and Umeå as well as develop a national node to significantly improve national and international cooperation and promote an exchange of expe
