Soot particles can be formed in hydrocarbon flames as a result of an inefficient combustion process. The particles are near-spherical, and normally a few tens of nanometers in diameter. At later stages in the soot growth process, they form chain-like sparse aggregates. When applying optical diagnostic methods such as combined scattering and extinction measurements in sooting flames, this aggregati
An important measure for climate change mitigation is reduction of energy use in buildings worldwide. To decrease the energy use of a building in a Nordic climate, increased thermal resistance of the building envelope is a suitable measure. Adding more insulation in combination with climate change may increase the risk of mold growth within the building envelope. This study evaluates hygrothermal
An 11-year-old boy with mental retardation, malformations, and the mosaic karyotype 47,XY,+i(8p)/46,XY presented with fever, headache and petechiae. Peripheral blood WBC was 190 x 10(9)/l; and contained > 90% mature eosinophils. Cytogenetic analysis of the eosinophils revealed no aberrations except the constitutional karyotype. The patient was diagnosed as having a hypereosinophilic syndrome. Shor
Identification of novel biomarkers for early diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment decision will be instrumental for improving disease outcome for patients suffering from complex diseases, such as cancer and autoimmune disorders. Within personalized medicine, the use of circulating biomarkers will allow clinicians to tailor medical treatment based on individual characteristics of each patient, using
