A new module, RDENSITY, of the GRASP2018 package [1] is presented for evaluating the radial electron density function of an atomic state described by a multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock or configuration interaction wave function in the fully relativistic scheme. The present module is the relativistic version of DENSITY [2] that was developed for the ATSP2K package [3]. The calculation of the s

We discuss the Layzer quenched ground state configuration of [Kr]4d104f13 along the Praseodymium (Pr) isoelectronic sequence between 80≤Z≤100. The 2F fine structure energy is examined from the point of view of the various contirbutions: correlation, frequency-independent and dependent Breit interaction and the two QED terms, self energy and vacuum polarisation. We find the fine structure energy to

Endo-α-N-acetylgalactosaminidase from Bifidobacterium longum (EngBF) belongs to the glycoside hydrolase family GH101 and has a strict preference towards the mucin type glycan, Galβ1-3GalNAc, which is O-linked to serine or threonine residues on glycopeptides and -proteins. While other enzymes of the GH101 family exhibit a wider substrate spectrum, no GH101 member has until recently been reported to

Introduction: Cardiac arrest is characterized depending on location as in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) or out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Strategies for Post Cardiac Arrest Care were developed based on evidence from OHCA. The aim of this study was to compare characteristics and outcomes in patients admitted to intensive care after IHCA and OHCA. Methods: A retrospective multicenter observ

A large pilot-scale granular activated carbon (GAC) filter was operated downstream in a full-scale wastewater treatment plant to remove organic micropollutants. To describe the spatial and temporal developments of micropollutant adsorption profiles in the GAC filter, micropollutants were extracted from GAC media taken at various filter depths and number of treated bed volumes. At a low number of t

In a previous study, we developed electrospun antimicrobial microfiber scaffolds for wound healing composed of a core of zein protein and a shell containing polyethylene oxide. While providing a promising platform for composite nanofiber design, the scaffolds showed low tensile strengths, insufficient water stability, as well as burst release of the antimicrobial drug tetracycline hydrochloride, p

This paper derives from the twelve-hour costume-based performance Community Walk that locomoted through the central area of Copenhagen on June 29, 2020. The focal point of Community Walk was a bright yellow costume that physically connected two wearers. In Community Walk I, the researcher and costume designer, placed myself ‘in the center’ of the co-wearing encounter. For twelve hours I co-wore t

In performance contexts we often perceive costume as visual expression and as something that servers something else. The objective of this presentation is to discuss costume’s performance-making potential. How can listening through and with costume become a performance-making strategy? With a few historical and examples from own research practice the ambition is to expand the notion of costumes as

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

Meropenem-ciprofloxacin combination therapy was compared to the respective monotherapy in a Hollow-Fiber Infection Model against two Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates. Following initial kill of ; 5-logs by each monotherapy, rapid regrowth occurred within 24 h, reaching 108 - 1010 CFU/mL at 120 h. In contrast, combination therapy achieved . 5-log kill within 6 h and suppressed bacterial regrowth thro

Dispersal is a key process with crucial implications in spatial distribution, density, and genetic structure of species' populations. Dispersal strategies can vary according to both individual and environmental features, but putative phenotype-by-environment interactions have rarely been accounted for. Melanin-based color polymorphism is a phenotypic trait associated with specific behavioral and p

The commercial availability of low-cost millimeterwave (mmWave) communication and radar devices is starting to improve the adoption of such technologies in consumer markets, paving the way for large-scale and dense deployments in fifthgeneration (5G)-and-beyond as well as 6G networks. At the same time, pervasive mmWave access will enable device localization and device-free sensing with unprecedent

Identifying where and when population ‘bottlenecks’ occur is critical to the conservation of migratory species, many of which are declining precipitously worldwide. Especially challenging is the evaluation of changes to staging sites. These sites are indispensable links in the migratory cycle but are typically used only briefly. We devised a field-based approach to assess the quality and carrying

Wood formation determines major long-term carbon (C) accumulation in trees and therefore provides a crucial ecosystem service in mitigating climate change. Nevertheless, we lack understanding of how species with contrasting wood anatomical types differ with respect to phenology and environmental controls on wood formation. In this study, we investigated the seasonality and rates of radial growth a

Abstract in ItalianQuesta esposizione propone in maniera teoretica una critica dell’esagerazione come approccio utile a qualsiasi filosofia che si occupi dei cosiddetti temi esistenziali. Si segue l’esempio dell’esagerazione per proporre un pensare oltre l’essere, in contrasto con la questione dell’essere senza esagerazione. Infine, si propone la critica propria dell’esagerazione come atteggiamentThis theoretical exposition proposes the critique of exaggeration as the approach to any philosophy that deals with the so-called existential themes. It provides the example of exaggeration in thinking beyond being in contrast to the question of being without exaggeration. Finally, it proposes the critique of exaggeration as a philosophical attitude that resists the temptation to seriously engage
