CVD (chemical vapor deposition) coated cutting tools typically exhibit thermal cracks caused by the mismatch in coefficients of thermal expansion (CTEs) between coating and cemented carbide. These cracks act as weak points during stainless steel machining, contributing to premature tool wear. As a strategy to suppress thermal cracks formation, we investigate replacing the conventional cemented car
Hydroxyl radicals (HO•), produced through reactions between H2O2 and iron oxides, drive biogeochemical transformations, mediate organism toxicity, and facilitate advanced oxidation processes. The effectiveness of these processes depends on the spatial proximity between HO• generation and target substrates. Consequently, the oxidation mechanisms should be governed by interfacial interactions among
Globaliseringen av kulturen, ekonomin och politiken leder till gränsöverskridande interaktioner för många aktörer mellan regioner och länder. I takt med att kommunikationen blir allt snabbare och når allt fler platser ökar kontakten mellan människor och ger ögonblickligen information om händelser från alla jordens hörn. Nya innovationer och medicinska genombrott stärker livskvaliteten och ökar livThe globalization of culture, economy and politics leads to cross-border interactions of actors across regions and countries. As communication gets faster and reaching more places contact between people is increasing and information on events from every corner of the world is accessible. New innovations and medical breakthroughs will strengthen the quality of life and increase life expectancy for
Learning robot motions from demonstration requires models able to specify vector fields for the full robot pose when the task is defined in operational space. Recent advances in reactive motion generation have shown that learning adaptive, reactive, smooth, and stable vector fields is possible. However, these approaches define vector fields on a flat Euclidean manifold, while representing vector f
FLT3 is a critical prognostic marker in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) due to its high frequency of mutation. Primary mutations in FLT3 include point mutations or deletions in the tyrosine kinase domain (TKD) and internal tandem duplications (ITD) in the juxtamembrane (JM) region. These mutations lead to ligand-independent activation, disrupting the JM region and kinase domain interaction, resulting
We explore the challenges facing the current academic training of economists in small European countries such as Sweden. The monolithic focus on publishing in the top-five journals, which prioritizes methodological rigor over problem-driven research, is often a threat to social relevance and policy applicability. This limits pluralism, excludes many talented economists, and fails to prepare gradua
Aim: Early identification of patients at risk of serious adverse events (SAEs) is of vital importance, yet it remains a challenging task. We investigated the predictive power of National Early Warning Score (NEWS) 2, as compared to NEWS, among patients assessed by a Rapid response team (RRT).Methods: Prospective, observational cohort study on 898 consecutive patients assessed by the RRTs in 26 Swe
The aim of the current study was to evaluate the presence of airborne virus, specifically SARS-CoV-2, in infection ward corridors, and the size distribution of the virus-containing aerosols. Associations between virus presence and relative humidity and/or temperature in the facilities was also investigated.
The aim of this work is to investigate the presence of airborne SARS-CoV-2 in corridors of infection wards, and gain more detailed size information of SARS-CoV-2-containing aerosols. Associations between SARS-CoV-2 presence and relative humidity and/or temperature in the facilities is also explored.
Background: SARS-CoV-2 in exhaled aerosols is considered an important contributor to the spread of COVID-19. However, characterizing the size distribution of virus-containing aerosol particles has been challenging as high concentrations of SARS-CoV-2 in exhaled air is mainly present close to symptom onset. We present a case study of a person with COVID-19 who was able to participate in extensive m
Household burning of solid biomass fuels emits pollution particles that are a huge health risk factor, especially in low-income countries (LICs) such as those in Sub-Saharan Africa. In epidemiological studies, indoor exposure is often more challenging to assess than outdoor exposure. Laboratory studies of solid biomass fuels, performed under real-life conditions, are an important path toward impro
The breakup of the L-chondrite parent body (LCPB) in the asteroid belt at 466 Ma ago is the largest asteroid breakup documented in Earth's geological record for the past ca. three billion years. Recovery of abundant macroscopic fossil L chondrites in mid-Ordovician marine sediments as well as reconstructions of the flux of micrometeoritic chrome spinel through the ages have given much new informat
Översiktlig artikel om hur spanska sjukan 1918 drabbade Lunds universitet och särskilt dess studenter samt om hur vissa professorer i medicin förhöll sig till den nya smittan.
Developments in sequencing technologies and the sequencing of an ever-increasing number of genomes have revolutionised studies of biodiversity and organismal evolution. This accumulation of data has been paralleled by the creation of numerous public biological databases through which the scientific community can mine the sequences and annotations of genomes, transcriptomes, and proteomes of multip
Myelin-sensitive quantitative (q) MRI techniques including MT (3D FLASH) and DTI (single-shot STEAM) are of growing importance to study white matter (WM) disorders in childhood. Cerebral folate transport deficiency is an inherited, treatable WM disorder with hypomyelination, developmental regression, movement disturbances, and epilepsy. One patient with this diagnosis and severe phenotype was trea
