This work presents an alternative cetane rating method using a production compression ignition (CI) engine, offering an accessible approach for preliminary fuel evaluation without the need for specialized equipment. As part of this work, an empirical correlation was developed linking ignition delay (ID) to both the cetane number (CN) and intake oxygen concentration. The test method follows the pri
1 Report from the International Conference on Diet and Activity Methods, ICDAM 9 1-3 September 2015, Brisbane Australia This is the most prominent conference in the field, and a very well recognized and important triennial conference for researchers in the areas related to diet and physical activity. It is the only international conference completely devoted to improving methods and measures for d

The center of our disk galaxy, the Milky Way, is dominated by a boxy/peanut-shaped bulge. Numerous studies of the bulge based on stellar photometry have concluded that the bulge stars are exclusively old. The perceived lack of young stars in the bulge strongly constrains its likely formation scenarios, providing evidence that the bulge is a unique population that formed early and separately from t
Patients with haemophilia A (and their physicians) may be reluctant to switch factor VIII (FVIII) concentrates, often due to concerns about increasing the risk of inhibitors; this reluctance to switch may contribute to patients missing the clinical benefits provided by the arrival of new factor VIII products. This topic was explored at the Eleventh Zurich Haemophilia Forum. Clinical scenarios for
Background: The pathophysiology of neurodegeneration is complex. Its diagnosis requires an early identification of sequential changes in several hallmarks in the brains of affected subjects. The presence of brain pathology can be visualized in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by protein profiling. It is clear that the field of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) will benefit from an integration of algorithms in
A molecular motor potentially performing a continuous unidirectional rotation is studied by a multidisciplinary approach including organic synthesis, transient spectroscopy and excited state trajectory calculations. A stereogenic center was introduced in the N-alkylated indanylidene-pyrroline Schiff base framework of a previously investigated light-driven molecular switch in order to achieve the u
We report on the synthesis of vertical InP nanowire arrays on (001) InP and Si substrates using template-assisted vapour–liquid–solid growth. A thick silicon oxide layer was first deposited on the substrates. The samples were then patterned by electron beam lithography and deep dry etching through the oxide layer down to the substrate surface. Gold seed particles were subsequently deposited in the
Pineapple (Ananas comosus) is a widely consumed tropical fruit. UV-C irradiation reduces the microbial load of fruits and contributes to the increase their content of phenolic compounds (PCs). Snack-bars were prepared batch using UV-C irradiated pineapple slices (irradiated pineapple bar, IPB) or with non-irradiated pineapple slices (non-irradiated pineapple bar, NIPB). Both snacks-bar samples wer
Telomere repeats at chromosomal ends, critical for genomic integrity, undergo age-dependent attrition and telomere length has been associated with different disorders including cancers. In this study, based on 1469 patients and 1158 healthy controls, we show a statistically significant (P = 6 × 10-10 ) association between increased telomere length and melanoma risk. Mendelian randomization, using
Background: The Stanford integrated psychosocial assessment for transplantation (SIPAT) is a validated psychosocial evaluation tool in the transplant population. Objective: We evaluated SIPAT in predicting post-left ventricular assist device (LVAD) outcomes, including cumulative re-admissions, driveline infections, pump malfunction, pump thrombosis, gastrointestinal bleeding, major bleeding, strok
The latest version of the Swiss standard for building acoustics (SIA181) introduced a new measurement method, based on a balanced- Arm hammer, for evaluating the decoupling performance of service equipment. This method was developed for reproducing in a standard manner the manipulation of service equipment in bathrooms and kitchens. In this study, we are investigating the relevance of such method
AIMS: Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) we investigated the cortical and subcortical representations during bladder filling and the effect of simultaneous stimulation of the dorsal clitoral nerve on these cortical and subcortical structures.METHODS: After approval of the local ethics committee, 8 healthy females were included. Prior to scanning, subjects were catheterized and the
Introduction: Cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS + HIPEC) has become the mainstream treatment for peritoneal metastases of colorectal origin. This extensive treatment is known for its increased morbidity rate. In this study, the impact of postoperative complications on survival was evaluated in a high-volume centre. Patients and method: Between November 2016
Introduction: Treatment options for peritoneal metastases (PM) from colorectal cancer (CRC) have increased, their efficiency should be monitored. For this purpose, register-based data on PM can be used, if valid. Purpose: We aimed to evaluate the completeness and positive predictive value (PPV) of synchronous peritoneal metastases (S-PM) registered among CRC patients in the Danish National Patient
A novel DCV-system controls the air-change rate for each apartment in multifamily buildings based on two indoor air parameters: 1) the moisture load (supply), and 2) volatile organic compounds. With a central fan, but decentralized control boxes placed outside each apartment, the system controls the air-change rate for each apartment. This paper’s main aim is to determine the potential of this DCV

Syftet med denna uppsats var att kartlägga utländska bankers utveckling i Kina samt att studera dess effekter på den kinesiska ekonomin. Uppsatsen är kronologiskt indelad och börjar då de utlänska bankerna gjorde sina första inträden på den kinesiska marknaden under andra hälften av 1800-talet och forsätter in till mitten av 2000-talet. Beskrivningen sker med hjälp av en löpande diskussion av makr
Trenden i samhällsbyggnadsbranschen visar på ett ökat intresse för innovation. Tidigare forskning har primärt fokuserats på produkt- och processutveckling, där forskningen kring tjänsteinnovation ännu inte fått genomslag. Konsultföretag beskrivs samtidigt som pådrivare av innovation. Detta har öppnat upp för vidare forskning kring hur konsultföretag, som erbjuder tjänster inom förändringsledning i
