This work aims to analyze thermal performance for an electric heater filled with different nanofluids, including SiO2-water nanofluid, Fe3O4-water nanofluid, and Cu-water nanofluid. The effect of nanoparticle concentration (0.1–2.0 wt%) is also discussed. Results indicate that Cu-water nanofluids show better heat transfer performance than the other nanofluids. The highest heating efficiency for th
In this study an algorithm was developed for calculating maximum detectable distance (MDD) for mobile gamma-ray detection of lost sources in-situ for some common mobile spectrometer systems and gamma sources (137Cs and 60Co). The MDD is a function of detector efficiency, vehicle speed, acquisition time interval, radiation background level and accepted frequency of false alarms. To test its accurac
The oxido-bridged diiron(III) complex [Fe2(μ-O)(μ-OAc)(DPEAMP)2](OCH3) (1), based on a new unsymmetrical ligand with an N4O donor set, viz. [2-((bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)methyl)-6-((ethylamino)methyl)-4-methylphenol (HDPEAMP)], has been prepared and characterized by spectroscopic methods and X-ray crystallography. The crystal structure of the complex reveals that each Fe(III) ion is coordinate
In this study, a plant-wide model describing the fate of C, N and P compounds, upgraded to account for (on-site/off-site) greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, was implemented within the International Water Association (IWA) Benchmarking Simulation Model No. 2 (BSM2) framework. The proposed approach includes the main biological N2O production pathways and mechanistically describes CO2 (biogenic/non-biog
Background: Several studies indicate increasing hospitalisation rates for specific infectious diseases (IDs). Studies describing the entire ID spectrum are scarcer. Our aim was to describe hospital use with ID diagnoses in Swedish adults from 1998 to 2019. Methods: All four-position codes in ICD-10 were reclassified as ID or non-ID diagnoses. Using data from the National Patient Register, age-stan
Human cholangiocyte organoids are promising for regenerative medicine applications, such as repair of damaged bile ducts. However, organoids are typically cultured in mouse tumor-derived basement membrane extracts (BME), which is poorly defined, highly variable and limits the direct clinical applications of organoids in patients. Extracellular matrix (ECM)-derived hydrogels prepared from decellula
For a train speed close to the speed of elastic waves in the soil, often referred to as “critical speed”, largely elevated vibration responses occur. This can be a practical problem for soft soil sites, where the phenomenon may cause excessive vibrations in the track and also at distances far from the track. To ensure the running safety of the train, the long-term quality of the track and to reduc
The success of optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating relies to a large extent on suitable characteristics of the analysed mineral, in this case quartz. Previous OSL dating of Quaternary sediments in Scandinavia has shown that quartz characteristics vary widely across the region, resulting in dating studies with varied success. The aim of this study is to provide an overview of quartz lumi
Objective: We aimed to study whether antipsychotic use during pregnancy is associated with gestational diabetes. Methods: This was a Swedish national register‐based cohort study on the Medical Birth Register and the Prescribed Drug Register including all 1,307,487 singleton births between July 2006 and December 2017. Antipsychotics were divided into first-generation antipsychotics (n = 728), high-
In the afterburner assembled with an air-cooled bluff-body flameholder, cooling air is directly injected into the recirculation zone behind the bluff-body, which can reduce the local temperature and increase the oxygen concentration of the gas mixture in the wake of the bluff-body, thereby affecting the total pressure loss and combustion characteristics. To better understand the flow and combustio
Camelina sativa (Camelina) is an oilseed crop that in recent years has gained importance due to its closeness to the plant model organism Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis), its low agronomical requirements, and the ability to grow under temperate conditions. To explore all the agronomical and biotechnological possibilities of this crop, it is important to evaluate the usability of the molecular p
The Education Act from 2010 states that education in Sweden ought to be based on scientific knowledge and proven experience. The aim of this study is to explore practice-near school research published by Swedish researchers in the wake of the Education Act with the focus on the participation of teachers in research. As a background, the international and national roots of practice-near school rese
The human host defense peptide LL-37 has an essential role in the first line of defense against invading pathogens. This cathelicidin is mainly produced by immune cells and epithelial cells aligning the mucosal areas and is normally upregulated upon infection and inflammation. LL-37 displays direct antimicrobial activity against a variety of pathogens, but also modulates the immune responses by ac
Rare disease data is often fragmented within multiple heterogeneous siloed regional disease registries, each containing a small number of cases. These data are particularly sensitive, as low subject counts make the identification of patients more likely, meaning registries are not inclined to share subject level data outside their registries. At the same time access to multiple rare disease datase
