We report nonlinear pulse compression of 1.2-ps, 2-mJ pulses. For spectral broadening, we use a Kr-filled Herriott-type cell with 22-roundtrips. After a chirped-mirror compressor, we measure 30-fs pulses, 80% transmission and an M2 of 1.5×1.7.
Opinion mining on social media posts has become more and more popular. Users often express their opinion on a topic not only with words but they also use image symbols such as emoticons and emoji. In this paper, we investigate the effect of emoji-based features in opinion classification of Uzbek texts, and more specifically movie review comments from YouTube. Several classification algorithms are
Eulophidae is a hyper-diverse family of chalcidoid wasps with 324 genera, about 5300 described species and probably thousands of others to be described. Until now, the absence of unequivocal morphological apomorphies and the low resolution provided by the handful of Sanger sequenced genes have hampered the reconstruction of phylogenetic relationships within the family. Here, we used ultra-conserve
IntroductionMulti‐component T2 mapping using a gradient‐ and spin‐echo (GraSE) acquisition has become standard for myelin water imaging at 3 T. Higher magnetic field strengths promise signal‐to‐noise ratio benefits but face specific absorption rate limits and shortened T2 times. This study investigates compartmental T2 times in vivo and addresses advantages and challenges of multi‐component T2 map
In insects airborne odors are detected by the odorant receptors (ORs) and ionotropic receptors (IRs), located on the dendritic membrane of the olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) housed in olfactory sensilla. The OR and IR gene families show high plasticity in lineage expansion and contraction following the birth-and-death evolutionary model. Gene duplication is an important mechanism underlying the
Additions B and E to LXX Esther have been variously dated from the second century BCE to the first century CE. This study links the two Greek Additions, on the one hand, with Philo’s writings through the concept of the “evil-hating justice” and, on the other hand, with the historical persons and events related to the Jewish-Alexandrian conflict of 38-41 CE, and dates their composition or final red
This article is focused on gender mainstreaming at Swedish universities in the period from 2016–2019. Our research questions are: (a) In what form was gender mainstreaming introduced and did the form itself affect scholar’s academic rights? (b) Was the process in question compatible with international standards of institutional autonomy? (c) What effect did gender mainstreaming have on scholars’ a
Hygric properties of porous building materials are important for hygrothermal analysis. Their experimental determination is however not always reliable, shown by the discrepant results from different laboratories on the same materials. In this study, a recent round robin campaign initiated by KU Leuven (Belgium) and participated in by eight institutes from different countries is reported. Ceramic
Abstract: The sintering of cubic boron nitride (cBN) based ceramic matrix materials with zirconium carbide and aluminum has been carried out under high pressures and temperatures. The performed study has revealed that the interaction between mixture components with the formation of a new phase, namely, zirconium diboride (ZrB2) occurs at sintering temperatures above 1750°C and an applied pressure
Land use is affecting 70% of global ecosystems and their functioning. Forest management is a regionally dominant land use and affects forest ecosystems by changing both structure and functioning, but its impact on primary productivity is not well known. Here we investigated the effect of forest management on primary productivity by comparing managed secondary forests with relatively pristine unman
To halt the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services, various actors including companies need to engage, but it is not yet clear what drives voluntary business commitments. We explore leverage points that might increase corporate action for conservation. We apply a structural equation model based on the theory of planned behaviour to analyse data from 618 German companies, collected through an
The aim of my presentation is to examine the concept of gardening as a cultural construct, and how this concept is created and transformed in picture books from 1968 (the canonical year of student revolt). We often think of the 1970s as the decade when Nordic children’s literature became political. But such a judgment may bepremature.

What can we learn from fiction? In this article, I discuss this question from an ethnographic point of view. With the two notions intertextuality and the foreign as a starting point, I show how an idyllic view of Sweden affects two students, Hanna and Åsa, studying Swedish as a foreign language as part of their studies in Scandinavistics. T
Most chronic and acute lung diseases have no cure, leaving lung transplantation as the only option. Recent work has improved our understanding of the endogenous regenerative capacity of the lung and has helped identification of different progenitor cell populations, as well as exploration into inducing endogenous regeneration through pharmaceutical or biological therapies. Additionally, alternativ
Den här boken är en sammanfattning av mina 30 års erfarenhet av Electro-Pulse-Enhanced-Therapy vid behandling av maligna tumörer.Det första kapitlet är en kort historia över upptäckterna som ledde till klinisk användning av Electro-Pulse-Enhanced Cancer-terapi (EpECT). Redan i slutet av 1960-talet fann Sale att effekten av att inducera korta elektriska pulser på biologiska cellmembran gjorde dem ö
