The exchange-correlation hole and potential of the homogeneous electron gas have been investigated within the random-phase approximation, employing the plasmon-pole approximation for the linear density response function. The angular dependence as well as the time dependence of the exchange-correlation hole are illustrated for a Wigner-Seitz radius rs=4 (atomic unit). It is found that there is a su

Slow conformational changes are often directly linked to protein function. It is however less clear how such processes may perturb the overall folding stability of a protein. We previously found that the stabilizing double mutant L49I/I57V in the small protein chymotrypsin inhibitor 2 from barley led to distributed increased nanosecond and faster dynamics. Here we asked what effects the L49I and I

The double quantum coherence (DQC) signal in nonlinear spectroscopy gives information about the many-body correlation effects not easily available by other methods. The signal is short-lived, consequently, a significant part of it is generated during the pulse overlap. Since the signal is at two times the laser frequency, one may intuitively expect that the pulse overlap-related artifacts are filt

The operation of a froth flotation column can be described by a nonlinear convection–diffusion partial differential equation that incorporates the solids–flux and drift–flux theories as well as a model of foam drainage. The resulting model predicts the bubble and (gangue) particle volume fractions as functions of height and time. The steady-state (time-independent) version of the model defines so-

OBJECTIVE: To report population-based clinical presentation and outcomes in patients with urosymphyseal fistula (USF) after pelvic radiotherapy (RT). PATIENTS AND METHODS: A retrospective chart review was performed in 33 consecutive patients diagnosed with suspicion of USF in a tertial referral center from 2014-2022 to ascertain information about diagnostic delay, clinical presentation, precipitat

Cette étude est ancrée dans une approche transdisciplinaire de l’apprentissage des langues secondes et étrangères (Douglas Fir Group 2016), composée de trois niveaux interdépendants : un niveau macro, caractérisé par des structures idéologiques et politiques à l’échelle de la société, un niveau méso où se situent les établissements scolaires régis par des contraintes sociales, économiques et cultu

Background and Objectives Small vessel disease (SVD) and neuroinflammation both occur in Alzheimer disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative diseases. It is unclear whether these processes are related or independent mechanisms in AD, especially in the early stages of disease. We therefore investigated the association between white matter lesions (WML; the most common manifestation of SVD) and CSF b

Background Epidemiological studies have shown that impaired lung function is common and associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Increased levels of several inflammatory and cardiovascular disease-related plasma proteins have been associated with impaired lung function. The aim was to study the association between plasma proteomics and forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), force

Reconstruction of attosecond beating by interference of two-photon transitions (RABBITT) is a powerful photoelectron spectroscopy, offering direct access to internal dynamics of the target. It is being increasingly applied to molecular systems, but a general, computationally tractable theory of RABBITT spectra in molecules has so far been lacking. We show that under quite general assumptions, RABB

Previous reports of mortality and morbidity in pediatric severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) vary considerably, with few population-based studies. Mortality rates from 3-33 % and varying morbidity have been reported, most commonly using the Extended Glasgow Outcome Scale (eGOS). The Lund concept is a treatment algorithm for severe TBI aiming at controlling intracranial pressure (ICP) by reducing c

Importance: We know little about the transmission of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) across generations. Objective: To evaluate the sources of parent-offspring transmission of OCD and familial cross-generational association with more typical anxiety disorders. Design, Setting, and Participants: This Swedish population register-based study analyzed data for offspring born in Sweden from 1960 to

Pebble accretion is recognized as a significant accelerator of planet formation. Yet only formulae for single-sized (monodisperse) distribution have been derived in the literature. These can lead to significant underestimates for Bondi accretion, for which the best accreted pebble size may not be the one that dominates the mass distribution. We derive in this paper the polydisperse theory of pebbl
