...study on the heterogeneous nucleation and grain growth of Al-10 wt.%Cu alloys inoculated with Al-5Ti-1B was carried out. To further reveal the solute segregation stifling mechanism, in-situ near-isothermal melt solidification experiments with constant cooling rates and greatly suppressed melt convection...
...management, though the molecular and cellular effects of various alginate dressings are not well documented. We have developed ultrapure sodium-alginates from Pseudomonas fluorescens with different content and distribution of single guluronic acid (G) residues (0–45% G), and tested their biological activities...
...calcination level and sometimes also to estimate the baking level of anodes. This paper discusses problems when comparing LC results from different laboratories using precision statements from ASTM and ISO standards. The main cause is peak broadening errors introduced by the XRD instrument and sample preparation...
Bacteria in the genus Streptomyces are soil-dwelling oligotrophs and important producers of secondary metabolites. Previously, we showed that global messenger RNA expression was subject to a series of metabolic and regulatory switches during the lifetime of a fermentor batch culture of Streptomyces coelicolor...
...fabricated by phase separation of aluminum (Al) and silicon, forming self-assembled Al nanowires (NWs), followed by subsequent removal of Al by wet etching. This work studies the removal process of the Al NWs when using the different etchants HCl, H3PO4, and H2SO4. Total reflectance measurements are used...
...key characteristics of fermentative butanol production from glucose and xylose mixtures. The model has 12 parameters and incorporates noncompetitive inhibitory interaction between sugars as well as inhibitions due to high substrate and butanol concentrations. Different pre-growth strategies to achieve...
...significance of anxiety and depression in quality of life, functional disability and lifestyle among fibromyalgia patients. Functional disability was defined by subjective work ability and activity-related discomfort. Lifestyle reflected habits of physical activity, regularity of meals, smoking and patterns of drinking...
...conditions for the employees' influence on occupational health and safety (OHS) matters as reflected in the opinions and assessments of the safety representatives themselves and by their corresponding managers. A theoretical framework and a literature overview are established in order to link the results...
...salmon and trout farming. The dietary requirements of the ballan wrasse larvae are largely unknown. The nutritional quality of the live feed commonly used in the farming of marine larvae today, rotifers and Artemia sp., may be suboptimal to the dietary need of developing ballan wrasse larvae, and contribute...
Nanoparticles composed of poly(alkyl cyanoacrylate) (PACA) have shown great promise due to their biodegradability and high drug loading capacity. Development of optimal PACA nanocarriers requires detailed analysis of the overall cellular impact exerted by PACA variants. We here perform a comprehensive...
...maritime information exchange, namely Maritime Data Space (MDS) and Cyber Security in Merchant Shipping (CySiMS). The MDS, as a blueprint of the International Data Spaces Association Architecture (IDSA), provides an ecosystem where data and information can be transferred efficiently between maritime stakeholders...
No studies we are aware of have explored youth’s experiences of the association between their Internet use and well-being during the COVID-19 lockdown. To fill this void, we used survey data of a representative sample (N = 734) of young Norwegians (16–26 years old) collected a few weeks into the lockdown...
...phenomena studied have been growth, coalescence, detachment, and wetting during electrolysis. The surface orientation affects bubble behavior. Therefore, two different anode designs were tested, an anode with a horizontal downward-facing surface and an anode with a vertical surface. At the horizontal anode...
