The effect of the addition of n-hexanol as co-surfactant on the structure of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) micelles has been studied using small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering (SAXS, SANS). Contrast variation neutron scattering experiments were performed to determine the structure of both pure CTAB and n-hexanol modified CTAB micelles. The incorporation of n-hexanol leads to an elongat

The aim of this article is to analyse popular neuroimaging of (dis)able(d) brains as a cultural phenomenon, as well as to explore how there has been, during the last decades, a subtle but important change in the way “normal” brains are depicted in popular science. Popular neuroimaging is introduced and used as an empirical basis to analyse what Fiona Kumari Campbell sees as a critique against able

The formation of the nuclear envelope and the subsequent compartmentalization of the genome is a defining feature of eukaryotes. Traditionally, the nuclear envelope was purely viewed as a physical barrier to preserve genetic material in eukaryotic cells. However, in the last few decades, it has been revealed to be a critical cellular component in controlling gene expression and has been implicated

This paper discusses the key legal issues arising from the constitutional conceptions of both the EU and the UK in the latter’s withdrawal process. It argues that the adherent Brexit dilemma is mainly the result of the UK’s non-codified constitution on the one hand, exposing legal uncertainty over institutional procedures, regional involvement, or the precise status of international law. Neverthel

Why do economic policies change? Why do policy makers replace one policy regime with another? An answer to this question is provided here by using Swedish central bank policy over the past 50 years as a case study. Swedish authorities moved in the 1940s and 1950s from a traditional monetary policy based on open market operations, discount changes and unregulated international flows of money and ca

Is the Armenian Genocide a strictly historical matter? If that is the case, why is it still a topical issue, capable of causing diplomatic rows and heated debates? The short answer would be that the century old Armenian Genocide is much more than a historical question. It emerged as a political dilemma on the international arena at the San Stefano peace conference in 1878 and has remained as such

Science has become a central political concern with massive increases in public investments and expectations, but resources are embedded in a complex web of societal expectations, which vary between countries and regions. This book outlines an insightful understanding of science policy as both concerning the governance of science itself (priority-setting, funding, organization and articulation wit

This paper presents a comparison of horizontal equity in health care utilization in 10 European countries and the US. It does not only extend previous work by using more recent data from a larger set of countries, but also uses new methods and presents disaggregated results by various types of care. In all countries, the lower-income groups are more intensive users of the health care system. But a

To catch successfully the new opportunities that arise from the development of new paper-product markets, pulp and paper producers are facing the need to improve the profitability and the environmental profile of their processes. Pulp and paper producers are therefore seeking all means to “close the loops”: the water loop, the chemical loop and the by-product loop. This lecture reviews the oppor

Membrane technology is a relative new technology in the pulp and paper industry with interesting applications in the water loop, the by-product loop and the chemical loop. The technology was pioneered in the pulp and paper industry by DDS Filtration, now Alfa Laval Nakskov in the 1970’ies and this article reviews the opportunities to use membrane technology in the different loops investigated ove

In this article I examine the current European refugee ‘crisis’ by challenging, from a theoretical perspective, the way in which the European Union (EU) has used the increased number of deaths in the Mediterranean as an opportunity to frame recent migration flows as an emergency which, by definition, can only be addressed through the adoption of exceptional measures. Throughout the article, I enga
