Relativistic radial electron density functions and natural orbitals from GRASP2018

A new module, RDENSITY, of the GRASP2018 package [1] is presented for evaluating the radial electron density function of an atomic state described by a multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock or configuration interaction wave function in the fully relativistic scheme. The present module is the relativistic version of DENSITY [2] that was developed for the ATSP2K package [3]. The calculation of the s

[Kr]4d104f13, The final layzer quenched configuration for highly charged ions

We discuss the Layzer quenched ground state configuration of [Kr]4d104f13 along the Praseodymium (Pr) isoelectronic sequence between 80≤Z≤100. The 2F fine structure energy is examined from the point of view of the various contirbutions: correlation, frequency-independent and dependent Breit interaction and the two QED terms, self energy and vacuum polarisation. We find the fine structure energy to

Engineering Bifidobacterium longum Endo-α-N-acetylgalactosaminidase for Neu5Acα2-3Galβ1-3GalNAc reactivity on Fetuin

Endo-α-N-acetylgalactosaminidase from Bifidobacterium longum (EngBF) belongs to the glycoside hydrolase family GH101 and has a strict preference towards the mucin type glycan, Galβ1-3GalNAc, which is O-linked to serine or threonine residues on glycopeptides and -proteins. While other enzymes of the GH101 family exhibit a wider substrate spectrum, no GH101 member has until recently been reported to

In-hospital versus out-of-hospital cardiac arrest : Characteristics and outcomes in patients admitted to intensive care after return of spontaneous circulation

Introduction: Cardiac arrest is characterized depending on location as in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) or out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Strategies for Post Cardiac Arrest Care were developed based on evidence from OHCA. The aim of this study was to compare characteristics and outcomes in patients admitted to intensive care after IHCA and OHCA. Methods: A retrospective multicenter observ

Digging deep into a GAC filter – Temporal and spatial profiling of adsorbed organic micropollutants

A large pilot-scale granular activated carbon (GAC) filter was operated downstream in a full-scale wastewater treatment plant to remove organic micropollutants. To describe the spatial and temporal developments of micropollutant adsorption profiles in the GAC filter, micropollutants were extracted from GAC media taken at various filter depths and number of treated bed volumes. At a low number of t

Zein-polycaprolactone core–shell nanofibers for wound healing

In a previous study, we developed electrospun antimicrobial microfiber scaffolds for wound healing composed of a core of zein protein and a shell containing polyethylene oxide. While providing a promising platform for composite nanofiber design, the scaffolds showed low tensile strengths, insufficient water stability, as well as burst release of the antimicrobial drug tetracycline hydrochloride, p

Co-costuming as an orientation towards spaces of in-betweenness : Transformative co-wearing and co-locomoting encounters in between places and spaces

This paper derives from the twelve-hour costume-based performance Community Walk that locomoted through the central area of Copenhagen on June 29, 2020. The focal point of Community Walk was a bright yellow costume that physically connected two wearers. In Community Walk I, the researcher and costume designer, placed myself ‘in the center’ of the co-wearing encounter. For twelve hours I co-wore th

Listening through and with costume : A dialogical performance-making process

In performance contexts we often perceive costume as visual expression and as something that servers something else. The objective of this presentation is to discuss costume’s performance-making potential. How can listening through and with costume become a performance-making strategy? With a few historical and examples from own research practice the ambition is to expand the notion of costumes as

Acorus calamus L. constructed wetland-microbial fuel cell for Cr(VI)-containing wastewater treatment and bioelectricity production

Due to chemical agents consumption and energy demand during traditional Cr(VI)-containing wastewater treatments, it is essential to explore a cost-effective and sustainable technique to remove Cr(VI) from wastewater. Combining of phytoremediation and bio-electrochemical technology, an Acorus calamus L. constructed wetland-microbial fuel cell (CW-MFC) was ingeniously designed to purify Cr(VI)-conta

Use of the Hollow-Fiber Infection Model to Measure the Effect of Combination Therapy of Septic Shock Exposures of Meropenem and Ciprofloxacin against Intermediate and Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa Clinical Isolates

Meropenem-ciprofloxacin combination therapy was compared to the respective monotherapy in a Hollow-Fiber Infection Model against two Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates. Following initial kill of ; 5-logs by each monotherapy, rapid regrowth occurred within 24 h, reaching 108 - 1010 CFU/mL at 120 h. In contrast, combination therapy achieved . 5-log kill within 6 h and suppressed bacterial regrowth thro

Cold winters have morph-specific effects on natal dispersal distance in a wild raptor

Dispersal is a key process with crucial implications in spatial distribution, density, and genetic structure of species' populations. Dispersal strategies can vary according to both individual and environmental features, but putative phenotype-by-environment interactions have rarely been accounted for. Melanin-based color polymorphism is a phenotypic trait associated with specific behavioral and p

A Review of Millimeter Wave Device-based Localization and Device-free Sensing Technologies and Applications

The commercial availability of low-cost millimeterwave (mmWave) communication and radar devices is starting to improve the adoption of such technologies in consumer markets, paving the way for large-scale and dense deployments in fifthgeneration (5G)-and-beyond as well as 6G networks. At the same time, pervasive mmWave access will enable device localization and device-free sensing with unprecedent
