With the exception of the GS-1/Younger Dryas cold period marine reservoir ages for the Last Deglaciation in the North Atlantic-Norwegian Sea are generally assumed to have been around 400-500 radiocarbon years in magnitude (Earth Planet. Sci. Lett. 126 (1994) 275; Radiocarbon 37 (1995) 53; Quat. Res. 52 (1999) 104; Nature 412 (2001) 724). By comparing the climate records obtained from the GRIP ice-
Heterologous genes for xylose utilization were introduced into an industrial Saccharomyces cerevisiae, strain A, with the aim of producing fuel ethanol from lignocellulosic feedstocks. Two transformants, A4 and A6, were evaluated by comparing the performance in 4-l anaerobic batch cultivations to both the parent strain and a laboratory xylose-utilizing strain: S. cerevisiae TMB 3001. During growth
Central Nervous System (CNS) relapse in non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) carries a very poor prognosis. Risk factors and outcome have been studied in aggressive B-cell lymphomas but very little is known about the risk in peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). We aimed at analyzing risk factors for CNS involvement at first relapse or progression, and the outcome of these patients, in a large population-base
For unknown reasons, there is a greater increase in the risk for cardiovascular complications in diabetic women than in diabetic men. Our aim was to study gender-related differences in the mechanical properties of the great arteries in patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) but free from known cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications. We measured arterial stiffness (beta,
This study aimed to characterize the ST-recovery loop and assess which range of heart rates (HRs) best discriminates between patients with and without significant coronary artery stenosis. Bicycle exercise tests were undertaken in 44 men and IS women with coronary artery disease (CAD) and in 59 controls (26 men, 33 women) in the same age range with no signs of CAD. The ST level and the ST-segment
A large protein was purified from bovine kidney, using selective extraction with EDTA to solubilize proteins anchored by divalent cation-dependent interactions. An antiserum raised against the purified protein labeled the apical cell surface of the epithelial cells in proximal tubules and the luminal surface of small intestine. Ten peptide sequences, derived from the protein, all matched the recen
Introduction: Intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment is well known for, for example, photo rejuvenation, where higher cut-off filters are used. The longer wavelengths penetrate deeper in the dermis leading to damage of the collagen and stimulation of new collagen formation, which lead to more soft and elastic skin. Microstomia in systemic sclerosis is the end result of excessive collagen deposition,
BACKGROUND: Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) reduces relapse rates in acute leukemia, but outcome is hampered by toxicity. Population-based data avoid patient selection and may therefore substitute for lack of randomized trials. METHODS: We evaluated alloSCT rates within the Swedish Acute Leukemia Registry, including 3899 adult patients diagnosed from 1997 through 2006 with a coverag
Inom identitetsforskning finns det olika definitioner av identitet. För att få en djupare förståelse för begreppet identitet, har jag valt att undersöka hur kosovoalbaner förhåller sig till sin identitet i ett svenskt samhälle. De empiriska uppgifterna samlades in genom kvalitativa semi-strukturerade intervjuer. Min analys baserades på begreppen identitet, tillhörighet och kultur. Baserat på det e
The main purpose of this study was to identify an unknown spice collected from an old shipwreck (Gribshunden). This study was demanding as we were dealing with an aged sample being under water for around 500 years. It is quite probable that many components in our sample have undergone changes or washed away by water, and as a consequence decreased in concentration. However, the strongest guess, ju
To utilize sugars as a feedstock for renewable industries, the feedstock often needs to be very pure. This is due to ionic species contaminating the sugar feedstock being potent catalyst poisons in many cases. To remove ionic species from the sugar feedstock, it is dissolved and purified using packed ion-exchange columns. In this report, a lab-scale setup of a large scale ion-exchange setup was co
Objectives Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent form of arthritis and accounts for substantial morbidity and disability, particularly in older people. It is characterised by changes in joint structure, including degeneration of the articular cartilage, and its aetiology is multifactorial with a strong postulated genetic component. Methods A meta-analysis was performed of four genome-wide asso
A biosensor, based on a redoxactive osmium polymer and sulfite oxidase on screen-printed electrodes, is presented here as a promising method for the detection of sulfite. A catalytic oxidative current was generated when a sample containing sulfite was pumped over the carbon screen-printed electrode modified with osmium redox polymer wired sulfite oxidase. A stationary value was reached after appro
Aim: To characterize postnatal changes in serum IGF-I in relation to development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in very preterm infants. Methods: Longitudinal study of 108 infants with mean (SD) gestational age 27.2 (2.2) weeks. Weekly serum samples of IGF-I were analyzed from birth until postmenstrual age 36 weeks. Multivariate models were developed to identify independent predictors of
The average life expectancy for large companies on the fortune 500 list has declined rapidly since the 1950s. One major reason is the growing competition from new actors on the market. Innovation has become one of the most important competencies for companies to get ahead of the competition. The growing demand for companies to be innovative and at the same time operate their core business have dee
In an integrated world economy, innovation is considered one of the main catalysts for economic development and growth. To stimulate the very and enable technological change, innovators need to be granted the rights to their own creations. The Word Trade Organization therefore implemented the Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights in 1995 among all its member states, wi
Föreliggande enkätstudie syftar till att utvärdera PIPP-skalans tillämpning i klinisk verksamhet genom att undersöka sjuksköterskors och barnsköterskors attityder till denna smärtskattningsskala för prematura barn. Enkätstudien genomfördes på neonatalavdelningen på Lunds Universitetssjukhus och utgår från totalt 53 formulär besvarade av 27 sjuksköterskor och 26 barnsköterskor. Studien visar att 77
