Comparison of synthetic and post-synthetic molecular genetic methods of reducing xylan glucuronidation in hybrid aspen for biorefinery applications

Abstract Background The pattern of xylan backbone substitution by 4- O -methylglucuronic acid (mGlcA) and O -acetyl groups generated during biosynthesis in the Golgi apparatus plays a key role in molecular interactions between secondary cell wall polymers in hardwoods, thus regul...

Low-energy electron collisions with BH+

BH+ ions are expected to play an important role in boron-containing plasmas relevant to fusion environments such as ITER, where low-energy electrons drive a variety of inelastic and reactive scattering processes. In particular, dissociative recombination, vibrational excitation,...

Mechanical control of magnetic exchange and response in GdRu2Si2

Abstract Magnetic skyrmions are nanoscale topological spin textures promising for low-power spintronics, provided their stability can be controlled. Mechanical strain modifies interatomic distances and underlying magnetic interactions, offering an efficient control route. We pres...

Nucleosynthesis in the fast ejecta of a neutron star merger

Abstract Neutron star mergers are today considered a major production site for rapid neutron capture elements. While the bulk of the matter escapes at fast, but non-relativistic velocities (~0.2 c), a small amount of the dynamically ejected mass reaches mildly relativistic veloci...

Topology-Controlled Photophysics of Ionized C14H10 Isomers

Abstract The optical signatures of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are highly sensitive to their molecular geometry, charge state, and intermolecular interactions. A comparison between the linear anthracene and angular phenanthrene ions highlights how topological effects...

Study of Supernova Neutrinos at ESSnuSB

In this paper, we have studied the sensitivity of the ESSnuSB far detector to supernova neutrinos. ESSnuSB is a proposed long-baseline neutrino experiment in Sweden, which will use a 538 kt water Cherenkov detector to probe the leptonic phase δCP by studying the second oscillatio...

Slow stellar halo rotation as a signature of disc flips and GES-like mergers

Abstract The stellar halo of the Milky Way (MW) exhibits a weak net prograde rotational signal (vφ ≲ 25 km s−1), yet its origin remains unexplained. To investigate this, we use the Auriga cosmological simulation suite of MW-mass haloes to probe the rotation of stellar haloes over...

The efficient star-forming regions of stripped-envelope supernovae

Abstract Massive stars ($\ge 8\, \rm {M}_{\odot }$) play a key role in shaping the interstellar medium of galaxies through stellar feedback. However, how these stars form and evolve before exploding as core-collapse supernovae (SNe) remains elusive. We compute for the first time...

Exposure to workplace bullying and violence/threats of violence and subsequent working life expectancy among older workers: A Swedish prospective cohort study

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to quantify possible associations between exposure to workplace bullying and violence, or threats thereof, and working life expectancy (WLE) among older workers in Sweden. METHODS: We conducted a prospective cohort study using data on 12 920 individua...
