Traces of a Swedish army camp from 1644 revealed at Uppåkra by extensive magnetometer survey

In the framework of an archaeological prospection case study conducted at the Swedish Iron Age site of Uppåkra near Lund, a large number of anomalies caused by buried archaeological remains were detected using extensive magnetic surveys. Written sources report that the Swedish army under Field marshal Gustav Horn had established a camp near the village of Uppåkra in autumn 1644, awaiting the appro

Knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to TB among the general population of Ethiopia : Findings from a national cross-sectional survey

INTRODUCTION: Ethiopia is among the high-burden countries for tuberculosis (TB), TB/HIV, and drug-resistant TB. The aim of this nationwide study was to better understand TB-related knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAPs) and generate evidence for policy and decision-making.MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional TB KAP survey in seven regions and two city administrations of Ethiop

A review of HVAC solution-sets and energy performace of nearly zero-energy multi-story apartment buildings in Nordic climates by statistical analysis of environmental performance certificates and literature review

Multi-story apartment buildings, also known as multi-family or multi-unit residential buildings, represent the largest share of newly constructed, residential floor area in Norway, Sweden and Finland. Since the start of 2021, these buildings are required to be nearly-zero-energy under the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive. However, there has been limited research into defining solution-set

Attitude Control on SU(2) : Stability, Robustness, and Similarities

This paper concerns trajectory tracking control of attitude dynamics configured on SU(2). Inspired by a popular geometric tracking controller on SO(3), differential geometric tools are used to derive both continuous and discontinuous attitude controllers on the SU(2) manifold, relating these to preexisting controllers operating with imaginary quaternion errors. Additionally, a robustness result is

Nonhydrolysable Analogues of (p)ppGpp and (p)ppApp Alarmone Nucleotides as Novel Molecular Tools

While alarmone nucleotides guanosine-3',5'-bisdiphosphate (ppGpp) and guanosine-5'-triphosphate-3'-diphosphate (pppGpp) are archetypical bacterial second messengers, their adenosine analogues ppApp (adenosine-3',5'-bisdiphosphate) and pppApp (adenosine-5'-triphosphate-3'-diphosphate) are toxic effectors that abrogate bacterial growth. The alarmones are both synthesized and degraded by the members

Temporal and cultural limits of privacy in smartphone app usage

Large-scale collection of human behavioural data by companies raises serious privacy concerns. We show that behaviour captured in the form of application usage data collected from smartphones is highly unique even in large datasets encompassing millions of individuals. This makes behaviour-based re-identification of users across datasets possible. We study 12 months of data from 3.5 million people

Regulation of HPV16 Early Gene Expression

Human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) is the most common high-risk type and isassociated with more than 50% cervical cancer cases as well as a number of headand neck cancer cases. The life cycle of HPV16 is strictly linked to celldifferentiation in the squamous epithelium with expression of the HPV16 earlygenes. The oncoproteins E6 and E7 are essential for preventing apoptosis andinducing prolifera

Modelling of energy-dependent spectral resolution for SPECT Monte Carlo simulations using SIMIND

Monte Carlo (MC) modelling techniques have been used extensively in Nuclear Medicine (NM). The theoretical energy resolution relationship (∝1/E−−√), does not accurately predict the gamma camera detector response across all energies. This study aimed to validate the accuracy of an energy resolution model for the SIMIND MC simulation code emulating the Siemens Symbia T16 dual-head gamma camera.Me

C-Reactive Protein Levels in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Are Modulated by the Interferon Gene Signature and CRP Gene Polymorphism rs1205

Objectives: Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) often display modest elevations of C-reactive protein (CRP) despite raised disease activity and increased interleukin (IL-) 6. We asked to what extent IL-6 levels, the CRP polymorphism rs1205, and the type I interferon (IFN) gene signature affects the basal CRP levels in patients with SLE during a quiescent phase of the disease. Methods:

A projection procedure to obtain adiabatic flames from non-adiabatic flames using heat flux method

Laminar burning velocity S L at elevated temperature T u and its temperature dependence coefficient α in SL/S0L = (Tu T0u)α are important parameters for industrial applications. However, experimental systems with high unburned gas temperatures may encounter pre-dissociation, leading to significant data scattering in the measurements. To negate this, the present work proposes a projection procedure

Financial Regulation Debates in Hard Times: A Comparative Analysis of Insider and Outsider Pressure during the Global Financial Crisis

This article analyses the nature of policy debates on financial regulation during the onset of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) by considering three elements that shape them: the salience of the debate, the actors that dominate the debate, and the degree of anti-status quo pressure. Theoretically, it contributes to Culpepper’s quiet/noisy politics framework by clarifying its multidimensionality a

Risk Factors for Contra-Lateral Secondary Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury : A Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis

Background: The risk of sustaining a contra-lateral anterior cruciate ligament (C-ACL) injury after primary unilateral ACL injury is high. C-ACL injury often contributes to a further decline in function and quality of life, including failure to return to sport. There is, however, very limited knowledge about which risk factors that contribute to C-ACL injury. Objective: To systematically review in

The scaling limit of a particle system with long-range interaction

We describe the macroscopic behaviour of a particle system with long-range interactions. We describe conditions on the interaction strength in dependency of the distance of the particles, such that the scaling limit of the particle system is a well-posed stochastic PDE.
