Protocol deviations (PDs) may jeopardize safety, rights, and welfare of subjects and data integrity.There is scarce literature and no guidelines for Institutional Ethics Committees (IECs) to process PD reports.The PD reports submitted to IECs from Jan 2011 to August 2014 were analyzed retrospectively.Types of studies reporting PDs, category and typ

Radiofrequency cavities based on superconducting technology are widely used in particle accelerators for various applications.The cavities usually have high quality factors and hence narrow bandwidths, so the field stability is sensitive to detuning from the Lorentz force and external loads, including vibrations and helium pressure variations.If no

The outflow of freshwater from underwater channels in the Kongsbreen tidal glacier Hair diffusor in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard, 79oN, was measured as 138.8 m3 s-1 at the peak of the melting season.Experiments on local marine plankton mortality show that when exposed to salinities below 9 PSU, all copepods die within 15 minutes.We estimate that during 1
