Native and octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA; degree of substitution = 0.0164 ± 0.002)-esterified corn starches were employed for the manufacture of the starch-polyphenol V-type complexes. For this, the aqueous extract of Roselle was used as a rich source of polyphenols. Assembled OSA starch-polyphenol VI-type complexes were obtained, primarily due to hydrogen (H)-bond interactions and hydrophobic C

Oat (Avena sativa) is a cereal crop rich in dietary fibers, which are generally considered beneficial for human health. The objective of this work was to investigate the in vitro starch digestibility-reducing effect of the flour of a high arabinoxylan (AX) content (6.1%) oat line obtained from a random mutagenized oat population, compared to the original variety as a reference. The effect of the o

Billy Klüver: Dawn again after 9 eveningsThis project pries on Billy Klüver as a figure based on the relationship between artist and engineer in a specific context, also as a contingent form of two similar but different selves. It suggests various ways to understand the art-technology relationship through the central lens of his materials from RRF archives.

The original sound source was part of my field recording regarding my project about lighthouses. I had a chance to meet and interview a lighthouse keeper in Spain; we talked about different soundscapes in the ports nowadays, even though some lighthouses keep functioning visually. An operating foghorn is not mandatory anymore in the EU, therefore most lighthouses don't use it anymore. The lighthous

Detroit, Stockholm is an artist-run collective that provides a free platform and a gallery for artists from various disciplines. It is a nomadic performance art festivals, music and art happenings and various multimedia exhibitions. Detroit, Stockholm provides a free platform and project space for international guest artists as well as their own members. It is a house to 25 studio spaces for a var

BackgroundOlder patients are often vulnerable and highly dependent on healthcare professionals’ assessment in the event of acute illness. In the context of ambulance services, this poses challenges as the assessment is normally conducted with a focus on identifying life-threatening conditions. Such assessment is not fully satisfactory in a patient relationship that also aims to promote and protect

With rapid increase in energy consumption of electronics used in our daily life, the building blocks — transistors — need to work in a way that has high energy efficiency and functional density to meet the demand of further scaling. III-V channel combined with vertical nanowire gate-all-around (GAA) device architecture is a promising alternative to conventional Si transistors due to its excellent

Imorgon lördag är det ett år sedan Mahsa Jina Amini mördades av moralpolisen i Teheran. Sedan dess har 600 demonstranter dödats i protesterna mot förtrycket i Iran. Det är hög tid att Sverige och väst ställer sig bakom det iranska folkets kamp för frihet, skriver Arvin och Ardavan Khoshnood.Tomorrow, Saturday, it will be one year since Mahsa Jina Amini was murdered by the morality police in Tehran. Since then, 600 protesters have been killed in the protests against the repression in Iran. It is high time that Sweden and the West stand behind the Iranian people's fight for freedom, write Arvin and Ardavan Khoshnood.

Sustainably produced renewable biomass has the potential to replace fossil-based feedstocks, for generation of biobased fuels and chemicals of industrial interest, in biorefineries. In this context, seaweeds contain a large fraction of carbohydrates that are a promising source for enzymatic and/or microbial biorefinery conversions. The thermoanaerobe Thermoanaerobacterium AK17 is a versatile ferme

I år 2023 är 150 år sedan som riksdagen beslutade att öppna upp de svenska universiteten för kvinnliga studenter. Artikeln belyser vägen dit och hur de första kvinnorna togs emot och vilka hinder som kvarstod även efter beslutet 1873.

Yarrowia lipolytica is an alternative yeast for heterologous protein production. Based on auto-cloning vectors, a set of 18 chromogenic cloning vectors was developed, each containing one of the excisable auxotrophic selective markers URA3ex, LYS5ex, and LEU2ex, and one of six different promoters: the constitutive pTEF, the phase dependent hybrid pHp4d, and the erythritol-inducible promoters from p

Ferroelectric hafnium and zirconium oxides have undergone rapid scientific development over the last decade, pushing them to the forefront of ultralow-power electronic systems. Maximizing the potential application in memory devices or supercapacitors of these materials requires a combined effort by the scientific community to address technical limitations, which still hinder their application. Bes

Seaweed is depicted as a future food in Western cultures, yet its introduction and expansion to new markets come with several challenges, including food neophobia and limited knowledge about its usability. To address these challenges, this study characterizes sensory perceptions, nutritional content, and physicochemical properties of four common northern European seaweed species, Saccharina latiss

We present experimental data for a vertical, 22-nm-diameter InAs/(In)GaAsSb nanowire Tunnel Field-Effect Transistor that exhibits the highest reported I60 of 1.2 μA/μm , paving the way for low power applications. The transistor reaches a minimum subthreshold swing of 43 mV/dec at VDS = 300 mV with a sub-60 mV/dec operation over a wide current range. Combined with a high transconductance of 205 μS/

Control theory allows one to design controllers that are robust to external disturbances, model simplification, and modelling inaccuracy. Researchers have investigated whether the robustness carries on to the controller’s digital implementation, mostly looking at how the controller reacts to either communication or computational problems. Communication problems are typically modelled using random

Background and aims: Appendectomy has historically been the standard treatment of acute appendicitis, but lately, conservative treatment of uncomplicated acute appendicitis with antibiotics has successfully been used in selected patients. Complicated acute appendicitis is often treated conservatively initially, but may benefit from interval appendectomy due to the higher risk ofappendiceal maligna

Around 50 million people worldwide suffer from Epilepsy, making it one of the most common neurological diseases. Epilepsy is characterized by sudden intermittent seizures, often imposing profound social and physical limitations. More importantly, the risk of premature death in these patients is up to three times that of the corresponding healthy population. It is estimated that 30% of the populati
