The effects of intravenously infused CGRP on regional blood flows and vascular resistance in the upper respiratory tract, the middle ear, and the inner ear were studied in cats. CGRP caused a pronounced vasodilation and an increase in blood flow of the respiratory mucosa and structures of the middle ear. The substance did not affect the blood flows of the cochlea and the vestibular organ in the in
Water is a crucial resource for our planet and a part of the accommodation sector´s environmental management. So far most attention has been paid to the direct water use such as for guest bathrooms, swimming pools and irrigated gardens. There is however also an indirect water use trough food and fuel consumption which has not been a focus for hotels environmental commitment but appears to stand fo

Reliance on fossil fuels, in many parts of the world, represents a burden not only foreconomic reasons but also in terms of import dependency. The situation is particularly severein islands that do not feature interconnected grids and use oil derivatives for electricitygeneration. The consequent high prices for electricity, though, translate into an increasedeconomic viability for renewable energy
Asceticism is a widely discussed topic. The aim of the thesis is to compare two textual blocks – the Sahih al-Bukhari and the Synoptic Gospels - from two different religious traditions and deduce the most vivid particularities of the respective visions of asceticism, situating the findings in context of the related academic scholarship. Findings in some cases are very unexpected. If in the Sahih a
The apparent high valuations in the aggregate market and the high price earnings ratios, experienced in the equity markets at the end of the 1990s, can be characterized as a so-called speculative bubble. The existence of such a phenomenon can in part be attributed to less-than-rational aspects of investor behavior and human judgment. The purpose of this thesis is to conduct a research on how priva
In this article, I conduct a multimodal analysis of videos of Las Tesis’ performance “Un Violador En Tu Camino,” posted on YouTube and Twitter, with the aim of obtaining deeper insights into how digital platforms encourage the creation of large-scale, transnational feminist mobilizations and how the encounter with narratives of multiple violences can enable new types of feminist radicality. Rather
Innovative engineering methods are needed to enhance the adaptability and agility of industrial control procedures and concurrently manage their rising complexity. Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) constitutes a promising paradigm to meet these challenges. To apply the rather abstract SOA principles to industrial automation, a model-driven engineering method is presented in this paper. Therefore
Results of a search for the electroweak associated production of charginos and next-to-lightest neutralinos, pairs of charginos or pairs of tau sleptons are presented. These processes are characterised by final states with at least two hadronically decaying tau leptons, missing transverse momentum and low jet activity. The analysis is based on an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb(-1) of proton-prot
Single-photon emission computed tomography systems distinguish radionuclides by using multiple energy windows. For cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) detectors, the energy spectrum has a low-energy tail leading to additional crosstalk between the radionuclides. Previous work developed models to correct the scatter and crosstalk for CZT-based dedicated cardiac systems with similar 99mTc/123I tracer distr
BACKGROUND: The Scandinavian Neurotrauma Committees (SNC) guideline is a validated and well established decision tool for pediatric minor to moderate head trauma in Sweden, categorizing patients into low, moderate and high risk for intracranial injury. It recommends observation over imaging with computer tomography in low and moderate risk stratified patients. However the effect on guideline imple
Immunotherapies with antibody-drug-conjugates (ADC) and CAR-T cells, targeted at tumor surface antigens (surfaceome), currently revolutionize clinical oncology. However, target identification warrants a better understanding of the surfaceome and how it is modulated by the tumor microenvironment. Here, we decode the surfaceome and endocytome and its remodeling by hypoxic stress in glioblastoma (GBM
The article examines Kim Stanley Robinson's novel The Ministry for the Future (2020) as an example of how the commonsensical modern distinction between the material and the social pervades mainstream deliberations on technological solutions to problems of sustainability. To expose the fetishism of modern technology, founded on the unwarranted ontological distinction between nature and society, we
A search for a heavy CP-odd Higgs boson, A, decaying into a Z boson and a heavy CP-even Higgs boson, H, is presented. It uses the full LHC Run 2 dataset of pp collisions at s = 13 TeV collected with the ATLAS detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1. The search for A → ZH is performed in the ℓ+ℓ−tt¯ and νν¯bb¯ final states and surpasses the reach of previous searches in diff
We present a unique comparative analysis, and evaluation of vision, radio, and audio based localization algorithms. We create the first baseline for the aforementioned sensors using the recently published Lund University Vision, Radio, and Audio (LuViRA) dataset, where all the sensors are synchronized and measured in the same environment. Some of the challenges of using each specific sensor for in
Background Mental health interventions should demonstrate an effect on patients' functioning as well as his/her needs, in particular on unmet needs whose assessment depends on the perspective of either the patient or the clinician. However, individual met and unmet needs appear to change over time, qualitatively and quantitatively, raising questions about their sensitivity to change and about the
