The globular clusters of large spiral galaxies can be divided into two populations: one that formed in situ and one that comprises clusters tidally stripped away from other galaxies. In this paper, we investigate the contribution to the outer globular cluster population in the M31 galaxy through donation of clusters from dwarf galaxies. We test this numerically by comparing the contribution of glo

We report on the observation of the solvation shell rearrangement after abstraction of the electron from aqueous I - in a laser pump/X-ray probe experiment by recording the X-ray absorption L 1 - and L 3 -edge spectra, 50 ps after laser excitation. The L 1 -edge spectra clearly identify the I 0 neutral species after excitation and suggest a substantial amount of back-transfer of charge from the s

HAMLET is a protein-lipid complex derived from human milk that was first described for its tumoricidal activity. Later studies showed that HAMLET also has direct bactericidal activity against select species of bacteria, with highest activity against Streptococcus pneumoniae Additionally, HAMLET in combination with various antimicrobial agents can make a broader range of antibiotic-resistant bacter

The financing of energy efficiency measures and renovations is key to reaching energy efficiency targets for the housing sector. The purpose of this article is to add the Swedish case of how capital market funds have become accessible and used by public and private housing companies, in particular for energy efficiency measures. The core of this article are interviews with representatives of Swedi

Initiatives to upscale repair activities are becoming increasingly common, with the latestbeing the EU commission’s proposal to strengthen consumers’ right to repair. However, theseinitiatives are not viewed comprehensively, particularly not for how they impact the product user’sexperience of the repair process, and what type of repair conditions would emerge once fullyimplemented. This gap exists

Non-healing wounds cause hundreds of thousands of deaths every year, and result in large costs for society. A key reason for this is the prevalence of challenging bacterial infections, which may dramatically hinder wound healing. With resistance development among bacteria against antibiotics, this situation has deteriorated during the last couple of decades, pointing to an urgent need for new woun

Observations of binaries containing pairs of neutron stars using the upcoming space-based gravitational wave observatory, LISA, have the potential to improve our understanding of neutron star physics and binary evolution. In this work, we assess the effect of changing the model of the Milky Way’s kinematics and star formation history on predictions of the population of double neutron stars that wi

This work investigates the black hole (BH) population of globular clusters (GCs) in Milky Way- and Andromeda-like galaxies. We combine the population synthesis code MASinGa and the MOCCA-Survey Database I to infer the properties of GCs harbouring a stellar-mass BH subsystem (BHS), an intermediate-mass BH (IMBH), or neither of those. We find that the typical number of GCs with a BHS, an IMBH, or

The global burden of neurological disorders is substantial and increasing, especially in low-resource settings. The current increased global interest in brain health and its impact on population wellbeing and economic growth, highlighted in the World Health Organization’s new Intersectoral Global Action Plan on Epilepsy and other Neurological Disorders 2022–2031, presents an opportunity to rethink

The servo problem for a wide class of nonlinear system is considered.A quantitative bound on system trajectories is derived. For piecewise linearsystems the bound is shown to be computable in terms of linear matrixinequalities.

During the last two decades or so, film support, film policy and the public financing of audiovisual production in Scandinavia and particularly Sweden have undergone extensive transformation. In diverse ways, these changes can be seen as responses to globalization, to increased sub-national regional independence, to the emerging idea of nurturing ‘creative industries’ taking hold, and as a result

A detailed experimental and theoretical investigation has been made on the use of Laser-Induced Incandescence (LII) in two configurations; right-angle LII and backward LII. Both right-angle and backward LII imaging measurements were conducted in simultaneous experiments at various pulse energies. The theoretically calculated LII signals were based on a heat transfer model for soot particles expose
