Multi-beam ptychography (MBP) offers a scalable solution to improve the throughput of state-of-the-art ptychography by increasing the number of coherent beams that illuminate the sample simultaneously. However, increasing the number of beams in ptychography makes ptychographical reconstructions more challenging and less robust. It has been demonstrated that MBP reconstructions can be made more rob
Chaperone proteins are essential for maintaining proteostasis. Their main role is to assist with the folding of other proteins and to prevent the aggregation of misfolded proteins. The molecular chaperone DNAJB6b efficiently suppresses amyloid formation of several peptides. This activity may rely on the same physicochemical properties as those driving chaperone self-assembly into large micellar-li
The unprecedented x-ray flux density provided by modern x-ray sources offers new spatiotemporal possibilities for x-ray imaging of fast dynamic processes. Approaches to exploit such possibilities often result in either (i) a limited number of projections or spatial information due to limited scanning speed, as in time-resolved tomography, or (ii) a limited number of time points, as in stroboscopic
Migratory birds have evolved a multitude of physiological and behavioural adaptations to reach their population-specific wintering areas during their first migration. The endogenous program encodes distance, direction and fuelling, and involves species-specific adaptations leading naïve migratory birds along highly diverse routes. While daylength has been extensively studied in relation to the ons
Particle induced oxidative stress is a probable pathway for many of the detrimental health-effects caused by particulate matter (PM). Recent studies on the exposure to oxidative potential (OP) in ambient fine and coarse PM suggest that anthropogenic particle pollutants, especially vehicular wear, anthropogenic primary and secondary organic aerosols (SOA) are more toxic on mass basis and more relev
Ferroelectricity in Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 (HZO) originates from a polymorphic landscape where the metastable orthorhombic phase competes with monoclinic and tetragonal forms, making functional properties highly sensitive to structural instability. Recent strategies have exploited ionic-vacancy mechanisms, either through redox interactions with the environment or by employing ferroionic heterostructures, to
AIMS: The COVID-19 pandemic had substantial impacts on mortality and morbidity, even after the rollout of vaccinations. These impacts however, varied considerably across regions. We examined regional disparities in COVID-19 mortality and hospitalizations among older people in Sweden from January 2021 to August 2023 and assessed the role of vaccination coverage in shaping these disparities.METHODS:
Studies of the surface chemistry of the first few cycles of atomic layer deposition (ALD) using in situ and time-resolved operando techniques are attractive for realizing, understanding, and obtaining true mechanistic information during the deposition. However, the latter techniques are yet to be applied to ALD of metal nitrides. Here, we present a surface-chemistry investigation through a time-re
X-rays are commonly used in imaging experiments due to their penetration power, which enables non-destructive resolution of internal structures in samples that are opaque to visible light. Time-resolved X-ray tomography is the state-of-the-art method for obtaining volumetric 4D (3D + time) information by rotating the sample and acquiring projections from different angular viewpoints over time. Thi
Time- and Angle-Resolved Photoelectron Spectroscopy (tr-ARPES) is employed to monitor photoexcited electrons in the 2D hybrid perovskite (BA) (Formula presented.) (MA) (Formula presented.) (Formula presented.) (Formula presented.). Photoelectron intensity maps are in good agreement with ab-initio calculations of the band structure. The effective mass is (Formula presented.) and (Formula presented.
BACKGROUND: Owing to the large variation in treatment response among patients with high-risk prostate cancer, it would be of value to use objective tools to monitor the status of bone metastases during clinical trials. Automated Bone Scan Index (aBSI) based on artificial intelligence has been proposed as an imaging biomarker for the quantification of skeletal metastases from bone scintigraphy.OBJE
PURPOSETo assess interval cancer rate in a large, prospective digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) screening trial in comparison with a concurrent screening population and to assess tumor characteristics of interval cancers in DBT-screening.METHOD AND MATERIALSThe prospective ****Trial, comparing digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) with digital mammography (DM) in 14,848 women has shown a significant
Today, atomic layer deposition (ALD) has become a firm corner stone of thin film deposition technology. The microelectronics industry, an early adopter of ALD, imposes stringent requirements on ALD to produce films with highly defined physical and chemical properties, which becomes even more important as device and component dimensions decrease. This, in turn, means that our understanding of the c
