Observation of cooper pair splitting and andreev bound states in carbon nanotubes
No full textIn this thesis, we investigate Cooper pair splitting in double quantum dot devices made from carbon nanotubes. We present transport measurements in which the controlled splitting of Cooper pairs dominates the current through such a device, reaching unprecedented splitting efficiencies of up to 90%.
In another experiment we use Cooper pair splitting (and a related non-local transport processes) as a tool to investigate Andreev bound states. Andreev bound states are a key concept in mesoscopic superconductivity. They can form due to the penetration of Cooper pairs into a quantum dot, leading to a new type of energy level that differs drastically from conventional particle-in-a-box states
Insertion and deletion of exons during human gene evolution
No full textDuring the evolution of human genes, exons have been both acquired and lost. The study of the structure of orthologous mammalian genes provides numerous examples of the gain or loss of exons by a variety of different mechanisms

No full textThe Brain-Dead Organ Donor
No full textAddressing all aspects of brain death and thoroughly detailing how a potential organ donor should be maintained to ensure maximum use of the organs and cells, The Brain-Dead Organ Donor: Pathophysiology and Management is a landmark addition to the literature. This first-of-its-kind, multidisciplinary volume will be of interest to a large section of the medical community. The first section of the book reviews the historical, medical, legal, and ethical aspects of brain death. That is followed by two chapters on the pathophysiology of brain death as investigated in small and large animal models. This includes a review of the many hormonal changes, including the neuroendocrine- adrenergic ‘storm’, that takes place during and following the induction of brain death, and how they impact metabolism. The next section of the book reviews various effects of brain death, namely its impact on thyroid function, the inflammatory response that develops, and those relating to innate immunity. The chapters relating to assessment and management of potential organ donors will be of interest to a very large group of transplant surgeons and physicians as well as critical care and neurocritical care physicians and nurses. Neurologists, endocrinologists, neurosurgeons, and pathologists will also be interested, especially in the more basic science sections on various aspects of brain-death and hormonal therapy. Organ procurement organizations and transplant coordinators worldwide will also be interested in this title. Other chapters will be of interest to medical historians, medico-legal experts, and ethicists.CONTENIDO: Introduction,

East Greenland (66.3 and 68.4°N) glacier front position shape files
No full textThis data set consists of satellite based study of East Greenland in particular 260 km-long section of coastline between 66.3 and 68.4◦N, used to explore glacier change from 1985 to 2019. Imagery were downloaded from the USGS website EarthExplorer (U.S. Geological Survey USGS, 1995). We sought images with minimal cloud-cover that were gathered in July/August, when we expect surface snow cover to be at a minimum. We sourced imagery from Landsat-5 for the years 1985 and 1995, from Landsat-7 for the year 2005, and from Landsat-8 for the years 2015 and 2019 (all Landsat imagery courtesy of the U.S. Geological Survey). For each year for which we had data, composite images were generated. The data set consist of shape files of fronts of glaciers in 5-year intervals.
