Lithium-ion battery safety is a topic of large importance, and testing is associated with large costs. Safety evaluation is therefore needed also at an early stage in cell design and development, in order to evaluate potential short-comings or to screen large platforms of materials and cells. Previous thermal runaway tests on lab-scale cells have, however, indicated differences in heat release and

Streptococcus pyogenes is an exclusively human pathogen that can provoke mild skin and throat infections but can also cause fatal septicemia. This gram-positive bacterium has developed several strategies to evade the human immune system, enabling S. pyogenes to survive in the host. These strategies include recruiting several human plasma proteins, such as the complement inhibitor, C4b-binding prot

Moraxella catarrhalis is a human-specific commensal of the respiratory tract and an opportunistic pathogen. It is one of the leading cause of otitis media in children and of acute exacerbations in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, resulting in significant morbidity and economic burden. Vaccines and new immunotherapeutic strategies to treat this emerging pathogen are needed. Comp

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are expressed and secreted during fracture repair. Although they are likely to be required for this process, little is known about their physiological role in bone regeneration. Noggin is a protein that specifically binds and inactivates several BMPs, It plays fundamental roles during early embryonal development and limb morphogenesis by this BMP-inactivating act

In this work the intermetallic systems formed by transition-metals from group 5 to 9 with Ga, In and Zn have been experimentally and theoretically studied in detail. Syntheses, compositional analyses, X-ray and neutron diffraction (single crystal as well as powder) and measurements of physical properties, e.g. magnetic susceptibility and resistivity has been made for all compounds. Electronic-stru

This study explores the use of manganese ore, iron-carbon particles (Fe-C), and gravel as anode fillers in electroactive constructed wetlands (ECWs) to treat wastewater containing pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) including ciprofloxacin (CIP), ofloxacin (OFL), and naproxen (NPX), while also assessing bioelectricity production. Although the presence of PPCPs reduced pollutant remo

Although carbonate-carbon (C), an integral part of biochar-C, contributes to the liming properties of that material, it also interferes with the estimation of the stable organic C fraction in biochars. In this study, four methods were compared in order to quantify the carbonate-C in biochars: two direct (a titrimetric procedure and thermogravimetric analysis, TGA), and two indirect (acid treatment
