Estimation of the Zero Sequence Voltage on the D-side of a Dy Transformer by Using One Voltage Transformer on the D-side
The usual practice to measure the zero sequence voltage on the D-side of a transformer is to use three voltage transformers (VT), each of them connected between each phase and earth on the primary side and broken-delta connected on the secondary side. In this paper a method is presented for the estimation of the zero sequence voltage on the D-side of a Dy transformer by the use of only one VT conn
Critical Realism: A Way Forward in IS Research
General Resilience to Cope with Extreme Events
Is tourist walkability and well-being different?
Despite the environmental and health importance of tourist walking, specific research on walking and tourism is limited, with walking in leisure and work contexts often being used as a proxy. To fill this gap, this study identifies the effects of perception of air quality and mitigating climate change on attachment to walking relevant to walkable places and subjective well-being, along with compar
The native ABC-F proteins of Staphylococcus aureus do not contribute to intrinsic resistance against ribosome-targeting antibacterial drugs
Multi-omic and functional analysis for classification and treatment of sarcomas with FUS-TFCP2 or EWSR1-TFCP2 fusions
Linking clinical multi-omics with mechanistic studies may improve the understanding of rare cancers. We leverage two precision oncology programs to investigate rhabdomyosarcoma with FUS/EWSR1-TFCP2 fusions, an orphan malignancy without effective therapies. All tumors exhibit outlier ALK expression, partly accompanied by intragenic deletions and aberrant splicing resulting in ALK variants that are
Sexual selection buffers the negative consequences of population fragmentation on adaptive plastic responses to increasing temperatures
Whether sexual selection facilitates or hampers the ability to plastically respond to novel environments might depend on population structure, via its effects on sexual interactions and associated fitness payoffs. Using experimentally evolved lines of the seed beetle Callosobruchus maculatus, we tested whether individuals evolving under different sexual selection (monogamy vs. polygamy) and popula
Assessing progression limits in different grades of keratoconus from a novel perspective : precision of measurements of the corneal epithelium
Background: To assess repeatability and reproducibility of corneal epithelium thickness (ET) measured by a spectral-domain optical coherence tomographer (SD-OCT)/Placido topographer (MS-39, CSO, Florence, Italy) in keratoconus (KC) population at different stages, as well as to determine the progression limits for evaluating KC progression. Methods: A total of 149 eyes were enrolled in this study,
A comparative study on methanol and n-dodecane spray flames using Large-Eddy Simulation
Methanol (CH3OH) is an attractive alternative fuel that can reduce net carbon release and decrease pollutant emissions. In this study, methanol and n-dodecane spray flames were investigated using Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) and direct coupling with finite-rate chemistry. The selected ambient conditions are relevant to engines and were previously unreported for numerical methanol spray studies, i.e
Advanced Monitoring of H2S Injection through the Coupling of Reactive Transport Models and Geophysical Responses
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), an environmentally harmful pollutant, is a byproduct of geothermal energy production. To reduce the H2S emissions, H2S-charged water is injected into the basaltic subsurface, where it mineralizes to iron sulfides. Here, we couple geophysical induced polarization (IP) measurements in H2S injection wells and geochemical reactive transport models (RTM) to monitor the H2S stora
Sleeping habits and aortic stiffness in middle-aged men and women from the general population: insights from the SCAPIS study
BackgroundThe relationship between sleeping habits and aortic stiffness remains inconclusive and is not fully explored in the European general population.MethodsWe examined cross-sectionally 8659 participants from the Swedish population-based cohort Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS), mean age 57.5 years, 52.1% women. A self-administered questionnaire on sleeping habits (duration, qua
Warming-induced contrasts in snow depth drive the future trajectory of soil carbon loss across the Arctic-Boreal region
The Arctic-Boreal region is projected to experience spatially divergent trends in snow depth following climate change. However, the impact of these spatial trends has remained largely unexplored, despite potentially large consequences for the carbon cycle. To address this knowledge gap, we forced a customised arctic version of the dynamic vegetation model LPJ-GUESS with daily CMIP6 outputs from a The Arctic-Boreal region is projected to experience spatially divergent trends in snow depth following climate change.

High prevalence of FAP+ cancer-associated fibroblasts predicts poor outcome in patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancer with high CD8 T-cell density
Objective: Studies have implied that fibroblasts may act as regulators of immune cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME). We investigated the clinical relevance of fibroblast activation protein (FAP) positive stroma in high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) in relation to CD8+ lymphocyte's infiltration. Methods: In a discovery cohort (N = 113) of HGSC, expression of FAP and CD8 in the TME was a
