MAX IV Laboratory

MAX IV Laboratory is a Swedish national synchrotron radiation facility that comprises three accelerators with varying characteristics. One of the accelerators, the 3 GeV storage ring, is the world’s first fourth-generation ring and pioneered the use of the multibend achromat lattice to provide access to ultrahigh brightness X-rays. MAX IV aims to stay at the forefront of the current and future res

Variation in Temperature Dependences across Europe Reveals the Climate Sensitivity of Soil Microbial Decomposers

Temperature is a major determinant of biological process rates, and microorganisms are key regulators of ecosystem carbon (C) dynamics. Temperature controls microbial rates of decomposition, and thus warming can stimulate C loss, creating positive feedback to climate change. If trait distributions that define temperature relationships of microbial communities can adapt to altered temperatures, the

Quality issues in georeferencing : From physical collections to digital data repositories for ecological research

Natural history collections constitute an enormous wealth of information of Life on Earth. It is estimated that over 2 billion specimens are preserved at institutions worldwide, of which less than 10% are accessible via biodiversity data aggregators such as GBIF. Moreover, they are a very important resource for eco-evolutionary research, which greatly depends on knowing the precise location where

Steady three-dimensional ideal flows with nonvanishing vorticity in domains with edges

We prove an existence result for solutions to the stationary Euler equations in a domain with nonsmooth boundary. This is an extension of a previous existence result in smooth domains by Alber (1992) [1]. The domains we consider have a boundary consisting of three parts, one where fluid flows into the domain, one where the fluid flows out, and one which no fluid passes through. These three parts m

Lack of Photon Antibunching Supports Supertrap Model of Photoluminescence Blinking in Perovskite Sub-Micrometer Crystals

Antibunching effect is typically observed in individual systems possessing photoluminescence (PL) blinking and vice versa. Contrary to this common perception, absence of antibunching in strongly blinking methyl ammonium led tri-iodide (MAPbI3) perovskite crystals of sizes from tens to hundreds of nanometers regardless of the excitation power density is observed. Antibunching effect does not appear

Glucose effectiveness : Lessons from studies on insulin-independent glucose clearance in mice

Besides insulin-mediated transport of glucose into the cells, an important role is also played by the non-insulin-mediated transport. This latter process is called glucose effectiveness (acronym SG), which is estimated by modeling of glucose and insulin data after an intravenous glucose administration, and accounts for ≈70% of glucose disposal. This review summarizes studies on SG, mainly in human

Unusual mixed spin-state of Co3+ in the ground state of LaSrCoO4: Combined high-pressure and high-temperature study

The nature of the non-magnetic to paramagnetic transition of Co3+ oxide LaCoO3 was strongly disputed in the literature for many decades from a low-spin (LS) state below 20 K and to a mixed LS state and high-spin (HS) state or an intermediate-spin (IS) state above 100 K. In this context, the layered perovskite LaSrCoO4 is more favorable for a Jahn-Teller-active IS state because of an elongated dist

Mandibulotomy access to tumour sites : fewer complications for postoperative compared with preoperative radiotherapy

The purpose of this study was to compare complication rates at the mandibulotomy site between patients receiving preoperative radiotherapy (RT) and those receiving postoperative RT during treatment for oral and oropharyngeal cancer where the surgical procedure required a mandibular osteotomy to gain access to the tumour. Sixty-four consecutive patients treated during the period 2000–2015 were avai
