Improved liquid-jet laser-plasma source for X-ray microscopy

- We increase the x-ray flux from a liquid-jet laser-plasma x-ray source by optimizing the target geometry. A new nozzle fabrication method allows us to produce stable microscopic liquid jets with a wide range of diameters. The improved x-ray flux is demonstrated by optimizing the diameter of an ethanol liquid-jet for our 3 ns, square=532 nm Nd:YAG laser and measuring the flux at the square=3.37 rim C VI emission line. Preliminary data suggest that the x-ray flux can be increased by more than a factor of 4 compared to previous experiments. The goal is to significantly reduce the exposure time of our laser-plasma-based compact x-ray microscope by improving the source.

- We optimize the water-window x-ray flux and debris deposition for a liquid-jet laser plasma source by varying both the target diameter and the jet material. For two target liquids, methanol and ethanol, measurements of the lambda = 3.37 nm C vi x-ray flux and the debris deposition rates are presented as function of the jet diameter. It is shown that the effective carbon debris deposition is more than I order of magnitude smaller for methanol, while the x-ray flux is reduced only similar to40%. The reduction in carbon debris deposition may be explained by reactive ion etching by oxygen from the plasma. Thus, the methanol water-window source may be operated at a 5-10X higher flux without increasing the debris deposition. The optimization potentially allows a reduction of the exposure time of compact soft x-ray microscopy or other water-window applications based on such sources without increasing damage to sensitive x-ray optics.

Alternative splicing modulation by G-quadruplexes

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Alternative splicing is central to metazoan gene regulation, but the regulatory mechanisms are incompletely understood. Here, we show that G-quadruplex (G4) motifs are enriched ~3-fold near splice junctions. The importance of G4s in RNA is emphasised by a higher enrichment for the non-template strand. RNA-seq data from mouse and human neurons reveals an enrichment of G4s at exons that were skipped following depolarisation induced by potassium chloride. We validate the formation of stable RNA G4s for three candidate splice sites by circular dichroism spectroscopy, UV-melting and fluorescence measurements. Moreover, we find that sQTLs are enriched at G4s, and a minigene experiment provides further support for their role in promoting exon inclusion. Analysis of >1,800 high-throughput experiments reveals multiple RNA binding proteins associated with G4s. Finally, exploration of G4 motifs across eleven species shows strong enrichment at splice sites in mammals and birds, suggesting an evolutionary conserved splice regulatory mechanism.

- A liquid-xenon-jet laser-plasma source for extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) and soft-x-ray generation has been characterized. Being a source candidate for EUV lithography (EUVL), we especially focus on parameters important for the integration of the source in EUVL systems. The deep-ultraviolet (DUV) out-of-band radiation (=120–400 nm) was quantified, to within a factor of two, using a flying-circus tool together with a transmission-grating spectrograph resulting in a total DUV conversion efficiency (CE) of ~0.33%/2sr. The size and the shape of the xenon plasma was investigated using an in-band-only EUV microscope, based on a spherical Mo/Si multilayer mirror and a charge-coupled device detector. Scalability of the source size from 20–270 µm full width at half maximum was shown. The maximum repetition-rate sustainable by the liquid-xenon-jet target was simulated by a double-pulse experiment indicating feasibility of >17 kHz operation. The xenon-ion energy distribution from the plasma was determined in a time-of-flight experiment with a Faraday-cup detector showing the presence of multi-kilo-electron-volt ions. Sputtering of silicon witness plates exposed to the plasma was observed, while a xenon background of >1 mbar was shown to eliminate the sputtering. It is concluded that the source has potential to meet the requirements of future EUVL systems.

Tobacco use as a risk factor for groin hernia repair

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The pathogenesis and etiology of groin hernias are not fully understood. Some risk factors are unknown and some are debated. Tobacco has been speculated as a possible risk factor for groin hernias. Some studies have not showed any connection, whereas other has showed that smokers have primary hernias at a younger age and that recurrences of hernias are more common among smokers. There have also been several studies showing a connection between smoking and changes in collagen metabolism. Present study evaluates the connection between groin hernia repair and tobacco use.

Waist Circumference is not Superior to Body Mass Index in Predicting Groin Hernia Repair in Either Men or Women
- 2022

- Background and aims: A high body mass index (BMI) is considered a risk factor for ventral abdominal wall hernias but protective for the development of groin hernias. The reason for this is unclear. The surrounding abdominal fat in obesity might “protect” and limit the passage through the inguinal canal. The aim was to compare two different methods used for obesity registration in groin hernia patients and to investigate the hypothesis of high BMI/low groin hernia risk phenomenon.Methods: This was a population-based observational study comparing BMI to waist circumference (WC) as well as their correlations to the quantity of groin hernia repair performed in either sex. Two national registers were crosslinked to a large regional register including information on WC.Results: A larger WC and a higher BMI were associated with a lower risk of having groin hernia repair in both sexes. There was no difference using either WC or BMI as a risk factor for groin hernia repair in either sex. There was no advantage to using body composition based on WC rather than BMI for surgery indication.Conclusions: Overweight patients, both men and women, have a lower risk of undergoing groin hernia repair regardless of fat distribution. BMI is a well-established method for obesity registration and is recommended in the evaluation of hernia patients.

Stability of droplet-target laser-plasma soft x-ray sources

- The spatial stability of microscopic target droplets used for laser-plasma soft x-ray generation in vacuum is investigated. A long-term drift in drop position is characterized with an ultrafast laser-diode imaging system. The drift is experimentally and theoretically shown to be due to a temperature-induced increase in target-liquid viscosity as a result of evaporation. Finally, the drift is compensated for and stable, long-term unattended operation of the source is demonstrated with an automatic phase-delay drop-to-laser synchronizing system. This is important for future compact lithography and microscopy systems.
