Vortices in quantum droplets: Analogies between boson and fermion systems

The main theme of this review is the many-body physics of vortices in quantum droplets of bosons or fermions in the limit of small particle numbers. Systems of interest include cold atoms in traps as well as electrons confined in quantum dots. When set to rotate, these in principle different quantum systems show remarkable analogies. The topics reviewed include the structure of the finite rotating

Spectroscopy of neutron-rich Dy-168,Dy-170: Yrast band evolution close to the NpNn valence maximum

The yrast sequence of the neutron-rich dysprosium isotope Dy-168 has been studied using multinucleon transfer reactions following collisions between a 460-MeV Se-82 beam and an Er-170 target. The reaction products were identified using the PRISMA magnetic spectrometer and the gamma rays detected using the CLARA HPGe-detector array. The 2(+) and 4(+) members of the previously measured ground-state

Clusters binding to the graphene moire on Ir(111): X-ray photoemission compared to density functional calculations

Our understanding of metal-atom cluster adsorption on graphene on Ir(111) is based on elementary chemical ideas, rehybridization, and buckling, supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We tested the DFT picture by comparing calculated core level spectra to x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) measurements. For pristine graphene, which forms a gently undulating moire on Ir(111),

Social context modulates basic properties of oculomotor control

Experiments performed in a lab are often considered generali- zable over both people and social settings. The problems with generalizing over different groups of people are well known, but it is only recently that changes in behavior depending on thesocial setting have been examined. Large changes in behavior can be seen in trivial cognitive tasks, depending on whether the participant is alone or

SODIUM/IODIDE SYMPORTER-NIS Abundant and Important in Gastric Mucosa

Popular Abstract in Swedish SAMMANFATTNING (SUMMARY IN SWEDISH) Jod är nödvändigt för utvecklingen och hälsan hos alla högre djur inklusive männi-ska, men det är ett relativt sällsynt grundämne. Man får i sig jod via kosten och det högsta jodinnehållet har fisk och skaldjur eftersom havssalt innehåller jod. Jod finns även i mejeriprodukter och i mindre mängder i grönsaker, men jodinnehållet i dessABSTRACT Background: Iodine is essential for development and growth as a constituent in thyroid hormones. Biological mechanisms for iodide uptake and concentration are very important, espe-cially as iodine is a relatively scarce element. Active iodide transport into thyroid fol-licular cells is mediated by the sodium/iodide symporter (NIS), powered by Na+/K+-ATPase. NIS is expressed also in extra

Dietary fibre intake and ischaemic heart disease mortality: the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition-Heart study

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Evidence from prospective studies is consistent in showing an inverse association between dietary fibre intake and risk of ischaemic heart disease (IHD), but whether dietary fibre from various food sources differ in their effect on IHD risk is less clear. The objective of this study was to assess the associations of total and food sources of dietary fibre with IHD mortality

The impact of Auto-ID on logistics performance

Purpose of this paper The purpose of this paper is to examine how logistics performance is affected by the use of different identification technologies and practices for utilising the tracking data. Design/methodology/approach The paper uses the survey method. The survey instrument was developed in co-operation with an expert group consisting of both researchers and industry representatives. The

Gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with cirrhosis: a longitudinal study before and after liver transplantation

Objective. Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are common in cirrhosis and have an impact on quality of life. Their pathophysiology and their relation to energy intake have not been fully elucidated and the effect of liver transplantation on GI symptoms has not been studied. We aimed to prospectively evaluate GI symptoms and their determinants before and after transplantation and their potential relati

Divergent composition but similar function of soil food webs of individual plants: plant species and community effects

Soils are extremely rich in biodiversity, and soil organisms play pivotal roles in supporting terrestrial life, but the role that individual plants and plant communities play in influencing the diversity and functioning of soil food webs remains highly debated. Plants, as primary producers and providers of resources to the soil food web, are of vital importance for the composition, structure, and

En SAOB-artikel växer fram

This article presents a specific example of how the work of an editor of the comprehensive historical Swedish dictionary, published by the Swedish Academy, (SAOB) proceeds. The example concerns the Swedish preposition under ’under’ and accurately describes the process of writing that SAOB entry. Drawing from this particular word, it is shown how etymology governs also the semantic description, on

Controlling graphene corrugation on lattice-mismatched substrates

By means of synchrotron-radiation-based core-level spectroscopies we demonstrate that the degree of corrugation in graphene nanomesh on lattice-mismatched transition-metal substrates critically depends on the strength of chemical bonding at the interface. The degree of interfacial orbital hybridization between graphene and metal states is rising in the series Pt(111)-Ir(111)-Rh(111)-Ru(0001). This

Test Analysis Verification Using Open Software

Teaching the topic of structural dynamics in any engineering field is a true challenge due to the wide span of the underlying subjects like mathematics, mechanics (both rigid-body and continuum mechanics), numerical analysis, random data analysis and physical understanding. In this article we present a pedagogical example of using experimental modal analysis to verify and calibrate a finite-elemen

Tyrosine kinase inhibition in renal cell carcinoma and gastrointestinal stromal tumours: case reports

Background: Sunitinib malate is approved multinationally for the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) and advanced imatinib-refractory gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST). Greater exposure to sunitinib is associated with improved efficacy. Therefore, minimising the impact of adverse events (AEs) on patient quality of life is important to enable patients to achieve optimal exposur

Agonistic Vocalisations in Domestic Cats : A Case Study

Introducing a new cat to a home with resident cats may lead to stress, aggression and even fights. In this case study 468 agonistic cat vocalisations were recorded as one cat was introduced to three resident cats in her new home. Six vocalisation types were identified: growl, howl, howl-growl, hiss, spit and snarl. Numerous other intermediate and complex vocalisations were also observed. An acoust

Landscape cultivation alters delta Si-30 signature in terrestrial ecosystems

Despite increasing recognition of the relevance of biological cycling for Si cycling in ecosystems and for Si export from soils to fluvial systems, effects of human cultivation on the Si cycle are still relatively understudied. Here we examined stable Si isotope (delta Si-30) signatures in soil water samples across a temperate land use gradient. We show that - independent of geological and climato
