Background: There is a need to develop methods of determining concentration and purity for two new affinity ligands, protein T and protein H, in order to ensure the quality of an industrial production of said proteins. Aims: To develop a High Performance Size Exclusion Chromatography, HPSEC, method to determine concentration and purity of protein T and to improve an existing HPSEC method for
The results of a search for the top squark, the supersymmetric partner of the top quark, in final states with one isolated electron or muon, jets, and missing transverse momentum are reported. The search uses the 2015 LHC pp collision data at a center-of-mass energy of s=13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.2 fb-1. The analysis targets two types
The result of a search for pair production of the supersymmetric partner of the Standard Model bottom quark (b~1) is reported. The search uses 3.2 fb- 1 of pp collisions at s=13 TeV collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider in 2015. Bottom squarks are searched for in events containing large missing transverse momentum and exactly two jets identified as originating from b-quark
For aquatic scientists mesocosm experiments are important tools for hypothesis testing as they offer a compromise between experimental control and realism. Here we present a new mesocosm infrastructure—SITES AquaNET—located in five lakes connected to field stations in Sweden that cover a ~760 km latitudinal gradient. SITES AquaNet overcomes major hindrances in aquatic experimental research through
The climate-driven encroachment of shrubs into the Arctic is accompanied by shifts in soil fungal communities that could contribute to a net release of carbon from tundra soils. At the same time, arctic grazers are known to prevent the establishment of deciduous shrubs and, under certain conditions, promote the dominance of evergreen shrubs. As these different vegetation types associate with contr
How we behave in daily life has an impact on environmental emergencies. In the decisions that we take every day, decisions that are important for the climate, the built environment has a vital but not so noticed part. The project Urban design and everyday life choices recognises the built environment as a co-producer of climate ethics. One of the project studies focuses on everyday choices regardiHow we behave in daily life has an impact on environmental emergencies.

Background: The increased prevalence of atopic diseases may be due to lifestyle changes affecting our exposure to microbes. We investigated the association between infections, fever, and atopic diseases in a large international birth cohort setting. Methods: 3842 children at genetic risk for type 1 diabetes were followed prospectively for the first 10 years for the occurrence of infections and ato
The current paper focuses on the conceptual design and numerical analysis of a four-stage centrifugal pump for the fuel system of a turbofan engine with liquid hydrogen as fuel. Liquid hydrogen is challenging at high pressures due to its special fluid properties. The design condition for the pump is set at take-off, to raise the pressure of liquid hydrogen from 6 bars at the outlet of a low-pressu
Among the many approaches to improve the performance of lithium-metal batteries, ternary polyethylene oxide/ionic liquid/lithium salt electrolytes offer several advantages such as low flammability, high conductivity (vs. polyethylene oxide/lithium salt electrolytes) and, to a large extent, limiting the growth of dendrites at moderate currents. However, they suffer from relatively low mechani
Introduction: Amyloid- and tau-positron emission tomography (PET) are promising modalities for detecting pathological changes associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD); however, their application is limited. Although the use of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers as alternatives to amyloid-PET and tau-PET has been explored, no in vitro diagnostic-approved or commercial CSF biomarker assays are cur
Currently, the European Union (EU) is the “green leader”, globally, in adopting policies to support longer product lifetimes. One reason for this state of affairs is that EU Member States are adopting progressive policies, which put pressure on the EU to set EU-wide laws to replace national ones. The main reason for this situation is that national rules may lead to distortions in trade in the EU S
In recent years, dynamical modelling has been provided with a range of breakthrough methods to perform exact Bayesian inference. However, it is often computationally unfeasible to apply exact statistical methodologies in the context of large data sets and complex models. This paper considers a nonlinear stochastic differential equation model observed with correlated measurement errors and an appli
Electrospun polystyrene (PS) nanofibers (130-500 nm) incorporating a potassium salt of imidazole-1-carbodithioate were evaluated as potential sorbents for the pre-concentration of a model organochlorine pesticide; 1,1-dichloro-2,2bis-(4-chlorophenyl)ethylene (DDE). The efficiencies of DDE (0.25-1.0 mu g L-1) adsorption by the nanofiber sorbent followed by desorption employing pressurized hot water
We examine the applicability of the extended law of corresponding states (ELCS) to equilibrium and non equilibrium features of the state diagram of the globular protein lysozyme. We provide compelling evidence that the ELCS correctly reproduces the location of the binodal for different ionic strengths, but fails in describing the location of the arrest line. We subsequently use Mode Coupling Theor
The complement system is fundamental to both innate and adaptive immunity and can be initiated via the classical, lectin or alternative pathways. Cleavage of C4 by MASP-2, the initiating protease of the lectin pathway, is a crucial event in the activation of this pathway, preceding the eventual formation of the C3 convertase (C4bC2a) complex on the pathogen surface. Interactions required for the c
Background: Cancer of unknown primary (CUP) is a fatal cancer, accounting for 3-5% of all diagnosed cancers. Finding the primary site is important for therapeutic choices and we believe that the organ which is designated as the cause of death may give clues about the primary site. Methods: A total of 20,570 patients with CUP were identified from the Swedish Family-Cancer Database. Causes of death
Due to the involvement of calpains and calpastatin in the pathology of several diseases, it is important to create an analytical tool for their accurate and sensitive measurements. In this work, an amperometric immunoassay (AIA) was developed and optimized for quantification of two key proteins from the calpain proteolytic system. The detection is based on the measurement of a steady-state current
Background: Rheumatic diseases commonly affect joints and other structures in the hand. Surgery is a traditional way to treat hand problems in inflammatory rheumatic diseases with the purposes of pain relief, restore function and prevent progression. There are numerous measures to choose from, and a combination of outcome measures is recommended. This study evaluated if instruments commonly used i
