Activation energies ΔGact for the nucleation of nitric acid dihydrate (NAD) in supercooled binary HNO3/H2O solution droplets were calculated from volume-based nucleation rate measurements using the AIDA (Aerosol, Interactions, and Dynamics in the Atmosphere) aerosol chamber of Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe.The experimental conditions covered te
Background/Aims Colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is burdened by its associated high risk of adverse events and long procedure time.Recently, a waterjet-assisted knife was introduced to simplify and speed up the procedure.The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of waterjet-assisted ESD (WESD) compared to that o
Abstract Background In early 2021, the SARS-CoV-2 lineage B.1.1.7 (Alpha variant) became dominant across large parts of the world.In Denmark, comprehensive and real-time test, contact-tracing, and sequencing efforts were applied to sustain epidemic control.Here, we use these data to investigate the transmissibility, introduction, and onward transmi
This review highlights to what extent the embryo transfer (ET) activity in Europe was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.The ET represents a procedure of modern reproductive biotechnologies that is increasingly applied in farms animals.Commercial ET is applied to cattle and, albeit to a lesser extent, to other species.For this study, official data r
Mixed reality offers unique opportunities to situate complex tasks within spatial environments.One such task is the creation and manipulation of intricate, three-dimensional paths, which remains Garden a crucial challenge in many fields, including animation, architecture, and robotics.This paper presents an investigation into the possibilities of s
