Structured triacylglycerols (STAG) with desired properties can be synthesized by transesterification using immobilized lipases. Herein, the effect of immobilization conditions and support material on the immobilization yield, specific activity and regioselectivity of lipases from Rhizomucor miehei (RML) and Rhizopus oryzae (ROL) in the production of STAG, are evaluated. Four different support mate
This paper is concerned with the estimation of macroscopic properties such as the permittivity or the thermal conductivity of a composite material from the microstructure. A new method of estimating the microstructural parameters, such as the volume fraction of anisotropic two-phase composite material, is derived. The parameters are estimated using information from measurements of the random mater
For more than a century the research on the Antikythera Mechanism engaged scientists from a widerange of scientific disciplines searching for clues, in order to solve the mystery that this unique ar-chaeological find poses. The results so far have been spectacular enough to re-write the History ofTechnology providing new aspects on the degree of technological sophistication and scientific de-velop
För att kunna optimera idrottares säkerhet är det viktigt att tränare och medicinsk personal har utbildning i HLR och OB-ABCDE-principerna. För paraidrottare är det också viktigt att ha en plan för hur man tar bort utrustning vid ett trauma. Dessutom rekommenderas det att medicinsk personal alltid är närvarande vid tävlingar, och om möjligt även under idrottarnas träningspass.In order to optimize the safety of athletes, it is important that coaches and medical personnel have training in CPR and the OB-ABCDE principles. For para athletes, it is also important to have a plan for how to remove equipment in the event of a trauma. In addition, it is recommended that medical personnel are always present at competitions, and if possible also during the athletes' training sess
Research is needed to understand attitudes toward and adoption of the broad range of technologies available to support active and healthy aging in different generations. The present article gives an overview of the GenerationTech survey and sample, and describes attitudes and acceptance related to technology in general and as a means to support active and healthy aging. A national survey was condu
A strategy for the formation of thin reconstituted cellulose films (pure or modified)) with embedded receptors or embedded ion-selective components is reported. Cellulose nanofibril ribbons from sisal of typically 3-5 nm diameter and 250 nm length are reconstituted into thin films of typically 1.5-2.0 μm thickness (or into thicker free-standing films). Cellulose and cellulose nanocomposite films a
Using a model disordered mesoporous solid with a spatial arrangement of pore sizes analogous to a macroscopic 'ink-bottle', it has been shown that the hysteresis observed in NMR cryoporometry can be deconvoluted into separate single pore and pore-blocking contributions. The suggestion of pore-blocking effects has been confirmed using PFG NMR. Hence, percolation theory has been used, for the first
Objectives: This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows:. To assess the effects of caffeine compared to aminophylline or theophylline in preterm infants at risk of apnea, with apnea, or in the peri-extubation phase.
Treatment of chronic osteomyelitis by radical debridement and filling of the dead space with antibiotic containing calcium sulphate/hydroxyapatite (CaS/HA) bone substitute has shown excellent long-term outcomes. However, in extensive infections, sessile bacteria may remain in bone cells or soft tissues protected by biofilm leading to recurrences. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate if sy
Factors that affect and influence industrial symbiosis (IS) collaborations have been re-searched extensively in the literature, where they are mostly reported at a network level or for IS in general, and lack the individual actor’s perspective. This review article contributes to and expands knowledge of influencing factors and their effect on the individual actor. In a systematic review, guided by
Safety routines such as the WHO surgical safety checklist and SBAR have gained widespread attention and implementation in healthcare. However, there has also been criticism. With the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the need for knowledge about how safety routines work in practice is larger than ever. In light of these obstacles, I suggest two approaches to the study of healthcare safety routines, based
Klimatförändringen kan enbart dämpas om koldioxidutsläppen reduceras till (netto) noll – till exempel genom att fossila bränslen fasas ut, cement ersätts med mer hållbara material och den globala avskogningen hejdas, tillsammans med minskade metan- och andra klimatutsläpp. Ökat utnyttjande av biomassa från jord- och skogsbruk som bioenergi och byggmaterial kan ge viktiga bidrag till detta. Men ris
Due to chemical agents consumption and energy demand during traditional Cr(VI)-containing wastewater treatments, it is essential to explore a cost-effective and sustainable technique to remove Cr(VI) from wastewater. Combining of phytoremediation and bio-electrochemical technology, an Acorus calamus L. constructed wetland-microbial fuel cell (CW-MFC) was ingeniously designed to purify Cr(VI)-conta
Collaborative robots have been designed to perform tasks where human cooperation may occur. Additionally, undesired collisions can happen in the robot’s environment. A contact classifier may be needed if robot trajectory recalculation is to be activated depending on the source of robot–environment contact. For this reason, we have evaluated a fast contact detection and classification method and we
This article presents the results of survey-based research which explores if licensed aircraft maintenance engineers working in Norway, Sweden, and Portugal experience regulated “just culture” as procedural justice-infused processes when occurrence reporting in European Union (EU) civil aviation. Drawing on Tylerian procedural justice theory, the study finds that, perceived procedural justice is m
