Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Excited states have been identified for the first time in very neutron deficient Pt-171.172 nuclei using the recoil-or-decay tagging technique. The ground-state band in Pt-172 has been established up to I-pi = 8+. A similar level sequence, presumably built on the I-pi = 13/2(+) state, is observed for Pt-171. The data are compared with theoretical calculations based on the mean field approach and the random phase approximation and are put into the context of the systematics of platinum isotopes.

HIGH-SPIN BAND STRUCTURES IN CD-104
- 1995
-
In: Zeitschrift für Physik A Hadrons and Nuclei. - 0939-7922 .- 1431-5831. ; 352:2, s. 117-118
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- High spin states in Cd-104 have been investigated by means of heavy ion induced reactions using the Nordball detector array. The level scheme constructed from yy-coincidences is dominated by three band structures, The positive parity band shows no rotational like energy spacing, It is thus understood mostly in terms of quasiparticle excitations with vd(5/2), Vg(7/2) and pi g(9/2) configurations, The collective properties of the negative parity bands are more pronounced. These bands are most likely due to v(h(11/2),d(5/2)) and v(h(11/2)g(7/2)) structures.

In: Nuclear Physics A. - 0375-9474 .- 1873-1554. ; 646:4, s. 399-413
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The nucleus Os-171 has been populated using the reaction Sn-116(Ni-58,2pn). Four new bands are identified, and the previously known bands are extended in spin, to a maximum of 53/2 (h) over bar. One- and three-quasiparticle configurations are identified, and beta, gamma, and octupole configurations are assigned tentatively. The effects of a possible intruder configuration on the negative parity bands are tested using band-mixing calculations.

Coexistence of triaxial and prolate shapes in Ir-171
- 1999
-
In: Nuclear Physics A. - 0375-9474 .- 1873-1554. ; 657:2, s. 113-133
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Excited states in Ir-171 have been observed for the first time. Gamma-rays were assigned to the nucleus by the recoil-decay tagging method, The ground-state band has a structure consistent with an h(11/2) proton coupled to a core of large triaxial deformation. At high spins, a bandcrossing occurs which is interpreted as a change in shape to a prolate deformation, Band-mixing calculations are performed for Ir171-175. These show that shape-coexistence between triaxial and prolate states in these nuclei follows the same systematics found in their Pt and Os neighbours. The systematics are also compared with deformations calculated for Ir171-179 using the code "Ultimate Cranker". Dipole bands were also observed, but tilted axis cranking calculations suggest that they are associated with a collective rotation.

Cd-98(48)50 : The two-proton-hole spectrum in Sn-100(50)50
- 1997
-
In: Physical Review Letters. - 0031-9007 .- 1079-7114. ; 79:13, s. 2415-2418
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Excited states in Cd-98, two proton holes from Sn-100, were identified and studied for the first time, using in-beam spectroscopy with highly selective ancillary detectors. The structure of the (pi g(9/2))(-2) two-proton-hole spectrum below a T-1/2 = 0.48(16) mu s isomer is deduced and compared to shell-model predictions. A tentative I-pi = (8(+)) assignment, as suggested by systematics, yields a strongly reduced B(E2,8(+) --> 6(+)) = 0.44((+20)(-10)) W.u., corresponding to an effective proton charge of e(pi) = 0.85((+20)(-10))e, which is at variance with existing theoretical predictions.

Candidate chiral bands in Tl-198

In: European Physical Journal A. Hadrons and Nuclei. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1434-6001. ; 45:1, s. 39-50
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- High-spin states in Tl-198 were studied using the Au-197(alpha, 3n) reaction. The level scheme was considerably extended including two new bands and several non-yrast levels. One of the new bands is possibly a chiral partner to the yrast pi h(9/2) circle times vi(13/2)(-1) band. Two-quasiparticle-plus-triaxial-rotor model calculations suggest an aplanar orientation of the total angular momenta for these bands, thus supporting possible chirality.

Possible chirality in the doubly-odd Tl-198 nucleus: Residual interaction at play
- 2008
-
In: Physical Review C (Nuclear Physics). - 0556-2813. ; 78:2
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A candidate for chiral bands was found in Tl-198 for the first time in a mass region of oblate (or nonaxial with gamma >= 30 degrees) deformed nuclei. Two bands show very similar quasiparticle alignments, moments of inertia, and B(M1)/B(E2) ratios. They have a relative excitation energy of about 500 keV and different patterns of energy staggering. Calculations using the two-quasiparticle-plus-triaxial-rotor model with residual proton-neutron interaction included show that a triaxial deformation with gamma similar to 44 degrees agrees very well with all the experimental observations. Furthennore, considerable energy staggering for both partner bands was calculated for this pi h(9/2) circle times vi(13/2)(-1) configuration at gamma - 30 degrees, suggesting that chiral bands may have substantial energy staggering.

- Lifetimes of high-spin states have been measured for 142Gd and 134Nd with EU-ROBALL IV and AFRODITE, respectively, using DSAM. From calculations in the cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky model it was concluded that at the high-spin states of the (+,0)1 band, 142Gd represents a triaxial nucleus rotating around the longest principal axis.

In: Zeitschrift für Physik A Hadrons and Nuclei. - 0939-7922 .- 1431-5831. ; 356:3, s. 239-240
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Excited states in 102Sn have been identified for the first time, in an in-beam γ-ray spectroscopic experiment. Two γ-ray transitions with energies 1472 and 497 keV following the decay of the seniority 6+ isomer with t1/2 = 1.0(5) μs were unambiguously assigned to 102Sn. Due to the very low cross section of about 2 μb for producing 102Sn in the reaction 50Cr(58Ni,1α2n), a highly selective detector setup utilizing NORDBALL ancillary detectors and a recoil catcher device was used. High γ-ray detection efficiency was achieved with two EUROBALL Ge cluster detectors.

Close near-degeneracy in a pair of four-quasiparticle bands in Tl-194
- 2013

In: Physics Letters. Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy Physics. - : Elsevier BV. - 0370-2693. ; 719:1-3, s. 83-88
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A pair of rotational bands associated with the pi h(9/2) circle times nu i(13/2)(-1) configuration at lower spins and with the pi h(9/2) circle times nu i(13/2)(-3) configuration at higher spins is found in Tl-194. The two 4-quasiparticle bands show exceptionally close near-degeneracy in the excitation energies. Furthermore close similarity is also found in their alignments and B(M1)/B(E2) reduced transition probability ratios. Such close near-degeneracy probably indicates chiral geometry in the angular momentum space. (c) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Bacterial translocation after non-lethal hemorrhage in the rat

In: Circulatory Shock. - : John Wiley & Sons. - 0092-6213. ; 41:1, s. 60-65
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Translocation of enteric bacteria has been suggested to compromise patients in severe catabolic stress. Mechanisms for this route of infection are not known. In this study, ratswere subjected to hemorrhage without reinfusion during 60 min, total blood loss was 3.28 +/- 0.14 ml/100 g BW. Control groups consisted of sham-operated animals without bleeding, and rats not operated at all. The mean number of viable bacteria found in mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN) of bled animals was 168 +/- 45 colony forming units (c.f.u./MLN), significantly higher compared to sham operated (5 +/- 3 c.f.u./MLN) and not operated (0 +/- 0 c.f.u./MLN) controls (P < 0.01). Cultures from MLN were positive in 7/9 rats after bleeding, in 3/9 of sham operated, and in 0/6 of non-instrumented control animals. No positive blood cultures were isolated. Escherichia coli was the dominant species found in MLN. A biochemical fingerprinting method (the PhP system) was used to identify translocating strains of E. coli among strains found in cecum. The method was also used to compare translocating strains between different animals. Our findings reveal that bacteria translocate to MLN after hemorrhage. Some phenotypes of E. coli strains translocate more frequently than others, suggesting that they have properties facilitating translocation.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- OBJECTIVE:To find out whether supplementation of an enteral diet with glutamine would reduce translocation of bacteria to mesenteric lymph nodes or blood after major haemorrhage in rats.DESIGN:Open randomised study.SETTING:University departments of surgery and microbiology, Sweden.MATERIAL:49 Sprague-Dawley rats.INTERVENTIONS:Rats were fed enterally for 7 days on diets supplemented with either glutamine or an isonitrogenous amount of non-essential amino acids. After feeding, 8 experimental and 8 control rats underwent sham operation; 9 and 7, respectively, underwent moderate haemorrhage (to 65 mm Hg); and 9 and 8, respectively, underwent severe haemorrhage (50 mm Hg) without reinfusion.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Microbiological analyses of samples of blood and mesenteric lymph nodes taken 24 hours after haemorrhage.RESULTS:The median (interquartile) number of colony forming units/mesenteric lymph nodes after moderate haemorrhage in animals who were given glutamine supplementation was 11 (0-34) and in control animals 20 (0-178). After severe haemorrhage the corresponding figures were 199 (10-310) and 22 (0-187). No pathogens were isolated from blood cultures.CONCLUSION:Glutamine supplementation before haemorrhage did not reduce bacterial translocation to mesenteric lymph nodes in this rat model.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Background: We aimed to evaluate differences in outcome between patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) after elective versus acute surgery in a multinational cohort of very old patients (80 years; VIP). Predictors of mortality, with special emphasis on frailty, were assessed.Methods: In total, 5063 VIPs were induded in this analysis, 922 were admitted after elective surgery or intervention, 4141 acutely, with 402 after acute surgery. Differences were calculated using Mann-Whitney-U test and Wilcoxon test. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression were used to assess associations with mortality.Results: Compared patients admitted after acute surgery, patients admitted after elective surgery suffered less often from frailty as defined as CFS (28% vs 46%; p < 0.001), evidenced lower SOFA scores (4 +/- 5 vs 7 +/- 7; p < 0.001). Presence of frailty (CFS >4) was associated with significantly increased mortality both in elective surgery patients (7% vs 12%; p = 0.01), in acute surgery (7% vs 12%; p = 0.02).Conclusions: VIPs admitted to ICU after elective surgery evidenced favorable outcome over patients after acute surgery even after correction for relevant confounders. Frailty might be used to guide clinicians in risk stratification in both patients admitted after elective and acute surgery.

Composition and diversity of intestinal coliform flora influence bacterial translocation in rats after hemorrhagic stress
- 1994

In: Infection and Immunity. - : American Society for Microbiology. - 0019-9567 .- 1098-5522. ; 2:11, s. 4768-4774
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Coliform bacteria are the most frequently reported bacteria to translocate afterhemorrhage. We investigated the correlation between composition and diversity of the cecal coliform flora and the degree of translocation in a rat model of hemorrhagic stress. Two groups of nine rats each were bled to 60 and 50 mm Hg mean arterial blood pressure, respectively. A sham-operated group without bleeding (n = 9) and a noninstrumented group (n = 6) served as controls. From each rat, 40 coliform isolates from the cecum and up to 16 from positive mesenteric lymph node (MLN) cultures were tested with an automated biochemical fingerprinting method. The phenotypic diversity of coliforms in each cecal sample was calculated as Simpson's diversity index (DI), and similarities between bacterial types in different samples were calculated as population similarity coefficients. Three rats in the sham-operated group and seven in each of the bled groups showed bacterial translocation. Of the different biochemical phenotypes (BPTs) found in the cecum of bled rats (mean, 6.5 BPTs), only a few were detected in MLNs (mean, 1.9 BPTs per MLN), with Escherichia coli being the dominant species. The translocating E. coli strains were mainly of two BPTs. Rats showing no translocation either did not carry these strains or had a high diversity of coliforms in the cecum. Furthermore, translocation of these coliform types was independent of their proportion in the cecum. In bled rats, the diversityof coliforms (mean DI, 0.53) was significantly higher than that in control groups (mean DI, 0.30; P = 0.004), suggesting that hemorrhage stimulates an increase in diversity of cecal coliforms. Rats with similar coliform flora and subjected to the same treatment showed similar patterns of translocation. Our results suggest that the composition of the coliformflora is an important factor in translocation and that certain coliform strains have the ability to translocate and survive in MLNs more easily than others.

Selective translocation of coliform bacteria adhering to caecal epithelium of rats during catabolic stress

-
In: Journal of Medical Microbiology. - : The Microbiology Society. - 0022-2615 .- 1473-5644. ; 46:7, s. 571-578
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Adult conventional rats were starved for 48 h with or without haemorrhage at 24 h, and translocation of caecal coliforms to mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs) was measured. Translocation was detected in three of 11 rats without haemorrhage, in 6 of 11 starved and sham-operated rats and in 12 of 22 rats after haemorrhage. In contrast, only one of 13 non-instrumented and fed control rats showed translocation. Translocation was associated with more coliforms adhering to caecal epithelium in rats. Coliform isolates from caecum, caecal epithelium and MLNs were characterised and grouped into different biochemical phenotypes (BPTs) by a biochemical fingerprinting method. Of 291 BPTs detected in the caecum of all rats, 108 were also found on caecal epithelium; 36 BPTs were detected in MLNs, of which 17 were not detected either in the caecum or on the caecal epithelium of the corresponding rats. One isolate from each of these 36 BPTs was selected and compared to the others. Four common (C) BPTs (i.e., C1-C4) were identified among them. Strains of C1 formed the majority of isolates from the caecum (79%), caecal epithelium(71%) and MLNs (91%). In contrast, C2-C4 had a significantly lower incidence both in the caecum and on the caecal epithelium, but not in the MLNs. These findings indicate that not all caecal coliforms adhere to the epithelium during catabolic stress and that for translocation to occur, other bacterial properties besides adhesion are needed. It is also concluded that coliforms with a low incidence in the caecum can translocate with the same efficiency as those with a high incidence.

- Background: starvation for 24 h prior to experimental haemorrhage increases bacterial translocation in rats. Forty-eight hours starvation alone causes pronounced microbiological changes in caecal contents and a marked increase in bacterial adherence to caecal epithelium. The aim of the present study was to examine whether bulking fibre prevents these microbiological changes induced by starvation, i.e. mucosal adherence and/or bacterial translocationwith and without haemorrhage in rats. Methods: 32 rats were inoculated with the translocating Escherichia cell strain KI-C1. Groups of these rats were then starved for 48 h with or without access to bulking fibre. An additional group of rats was given bulking fibre and subjected to haemorrhage. A control group was untreated and given regular food. Samples were taken from caecal contents, caecal epithelium, mesenteric lymph nodes and blood. A biochemical fingerprinting method was used to characterize and compare E. coil strains in all samples. Results: ingestion of bulking fibre alone for 48 h significantly reduced the frequency of KI-C1 both in caecal contents and on caecal epithelium and completely prevented translocation of the strain, compared to starvation without bulking fibre for 48 h. Enforced stress (haemorrhage) increased bacterial translocation to the same level as starvation for 48 h. E. coli phenotypes found in mesenteric lymph nodes were also found adhering to the caecal epithelium. Conclusions: the presence of bulking fibre in gut lumen, by unknown mechanisms, reduces the frequency of an inoculated translocating strain of E. coil in caecal contents and on caecal epithelium and prevents its translocationto mesenteric lymph nodes.

- Objective: To investigate the impact of starvation for 24 and 48 h on the number of coliform bacteria in the caecal contents, on the mucosal adherence of coliform bacteria, and on bacterial translocation in rats.Design: Open prospective study.Setting: University departments of surgery and microbiology, Sweden.Material: 46 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats.Interventions: 19 rats served as controls, and were fed until samples were taken. Six animals were starved for 24 h and another 15 for 48 h, with free access to water, and then anaesthetised before blood, mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN), caecum, and caecal contents were sampled. To verify bacterial translocation in this strain of rats, another six rats underwent controlled haemorrhage for 60 min to reduce the blood pressure to 55 mm Hg mean arterial pressure (MAP). These rats had free access to food and water before haemorrhage but were allowed only water until samples were taken 24 h after haemorrhage.Main Outcomes Measures: Presence and number of coliform bacteria in samples taken from caecal contents, caecal epithelium, MLN, and blood.Results: Starvation for 24 h increased the number of coliform bacteria (colony forming units (CFU)/g) in the caecal contents 25-fold (p < 0.05). Starvation for 48 h further increased the number by a factor of 100. The number of coliform bacteria that adhered to the caecal epithelium increased 3,000 times in rats that had been starved for 48 h (p < 0.001). There was no significant difference in translocation (as indicated by cultures from MLN) between rats that had been fed and those that had been starved for 48 h. In 4 of the 6 rats that were bled and then starved for 24 h there were signs of bacterial translocation, which was significantly more than the 1/19 in fed rats (p < 0.05).Conclusion: Starvation increases the number of bacteria in the caecal contents and increases bacterial adherence to the caecal epithelium. These changes may contribute to the previously reported increase in bacterial translocation in starved compared wit fed rats that were subjected to stress. The same changes in the gut were observed in animals subjected to haemorrhagic stress in addition to starvation, and in which bacterial translocation was evident.

- This contribution presents the diagenetic evolution of limestone deposits in the Copacabana Formation that occurs in the northern Altiplano, in the Lake Titicaca area of western Bolivia. The best-exposed stratigraphic succession of the Copacabana Formation occurs in the Yampupata section, and its division into five facies successions is based on petrographic analysis, cathodoluminescence, x-ray fluorescence analysis (chemical composition) and stable isotope data (δ18O and δ13C). The results showed that the carbonate rocks experienced early marine diagenetic processes such as micritization during or after the deposition (eogenesis). The initial burial event (mesogenesis 1), characterized by stabilization of temperature-water carbonates by freshwater, and represented by bladed calcite-cement, equant calcite cement, dissolution, dolomitization, neomorphism, silicification and compaction (physical), occurred in shallow burial conditions. During the second burial episode (mesogenesis 2), in deeper burial environment the processes include: compaction (physical and chemical) and neomorphism. Diagenetic processes have affected reservoir quality in the Copacabana Formation during the mesodiagenesis, and reduced the conditions for development of high-quality conventional hydrocarbon reservoirs. Depleted O and C stable isotope signatures indicate that these carbonate rocks deposits underwent both meteoric and burial diagenesis including moderate water-rock interaction.

In: Physical Review C (Nuclear Physics). - 0556-2813. ; 74:3

Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- A search for isomeric states was performed in the nucleus Nd-140(60)80 using in-beam gamma-ray spectroscopy and the Te-126(O-18,4n) reaction. Prompt and delayed gamma-ray coincidences were measured with the AFRODITE spectrometer using the pulsed beam delivered by the Separated Sector Cyclotron of iThemba LABS. One new isomer was identified, with spin-parity I-pi=20(+) and lifetime T-1/2 >= 400 ns, at an excitation energy E-x=7430 keV. The lifetime of the 10(+) isomer at E-x=3619 keV was determined to be 32.9(1.8) ns, confirming the previously reported value. The configuration of the I-pi=20(+) isomer is assigned based on configuration-dependent cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky (CNS) calculations as a state pi(d(5/2)g(7/2))(10)(+-4)circle times nu(h(11/2)(-2))(10)(+), with the spin vectors of the six holes in the Gd-146(64)82 core fully aligned.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- An experimental investigation of the nucleus 165Lu, using the reactions 138Ba(31P,4n) 165Lu and 150Sm(19F,4n) 165Lu at beam energies of E = 155 and 95 MeV, respectively, has been performed. Among other additions to the existing level scheme, a new band, with transition energies almost identical to a strongly deformed (β2 0.42) πi13/2[660 1/2+] band recently discovered in 163Lu has been established. A theoretical analysis of the structure of the two Lu isotopes, 165Lu and 163Lu is carried out by detailed calculations of total potential energy surfaces for specific configurations. By a diabatic treatment of crossings specific proton configurations as πi13/2[660 1/2+] are identified throughout the deformation space and as a function of spin. It is found as a general feature that well deformed local minima of considerable nonaxial symmetry coexist with a normal deformed global minimum. The depth of these local minima depend on configuration. The structure of the different global and local minima found in these surfaces are analysed and discussed in terms of occupation of available basis configurations and their orientation relative to the rotation axis. The strongly deformed minima are found to belong to a group of superdeformed triaxial structures, expected to appear at low energies for certain favourable combinations of proton and neutron numbers.

- The neutron deficient nucleus Te-108 was studied in the Fe-54(Ni-58,2p2n) reaction. A detector system consisting of 4 Euroball cluster detectors, a charged-particle detector ball and a 16 element neutron multiplicity filter was used to detect the emitted particles and gamma rays. A new, significantly extended level scheme was constructed on the basis of gamma gamma-coincidence relations. Spin values for the states were determined from angular distribution ratios. The experimental results are discussed in terms of the shell model.
