Background: Intensive rehabilitation is one of the most important aspects of care for people with stroke, and there is evidence that it leads to better recovery and higher levels of independence. However, pressure on resources in government funded secondary and primary healthcare settings means that for many people with stroke, intense rehabilitation is not available. Effective and efficient ways

BACKGROUND: Iodine has been suggested to protect against breast cancer, but there are no epidemiologic studies on individual risk. An interesting finding is that in areas where the exposure to both selenium and iodine are high (e.g., Japan), the risk of breast cancer is lower than in areas where selenium is high and iodine low (e.g., United States), or in areas where both are low (e.g., Northern E

This paper presents a measurement of the production cross-section of a Z boson in association with b-jets, in proton-proton collisions at s = 13 TeV with the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.6 fb−1. Inclusive and differential cross-sections are measured for events containing a Z boson decaying into electrons or muons and produ

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Although serine proteases and agonists of protease-activated receptor 2 (PAR2) cause inflammation and pain, the spectrum of proteases that are activated by proinflammatory and algesic stimuli and their contribution to inflammatory pain are uncertain.EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: Enzymic assays and selective inhibitors were used to characterize protease activity in mice after intra

Middle and basal Upper Cambrian strata are well exposed in an old quarry at Gudhem in the Falbygden area of Västergötland, south-central Sweden. The exposures consist of finely laminated alum shale with scattered stinkstone (orsten) lenses, up to 2.3 m in diameter. Four sections have been measured and sampled in order to establish the succession of trilobite species. Fossils are generally preserve

The archipelago of Svalbard is a key area for understanding the North Atlantic Caledonides. The pre-Devonian rocks of Svalbard are an assemblage of different terranes, probably juxtaposed by transpression during the Caledonidian orogenesis. Svalbard's Eastern Terrane consists of a thick (c. 18 km) succession, of Paleoproterozoic to Ordavician age, referred to as the Hecla Hoek sequence, and is

Skåne har formats genom flera tektoniska och geologiska processer kopplade till en stor sprick- och rörelsezon – Sorgenfrei-Tornquistzonen. I sydvästra Skåne finns ett större förkastat block, Höllvikensänkan, med sedimentära lager från trias-juratiden. Denna lagerföljd karakteriseras av sandsten varvat med lersten som avsatts både lokalt och över större områden. Studien har fokuserat på analys av The geological setting of Skåne is the outcome of successive phases of transtensional tectonics, block-faulting, subsidence, transpression and inversion focused around the Sorgenfrei-Tornquist Zone. The Höllviken Halfgraben is one of the major blocks in southwestern Skåne with a Rhaetian–Pliensbachian succession characterized by interbedding of arenaceous and argillaceous facies of local and regio

1. INTRODUCTIONFrom the early days of membrane technology fouling has been identified as the most important parameter for the slow integration of technology in the industry [1]. Since then significant progress has been achieved in the field of fouling and cleaning of membranes which are still both key aspects in membrane plant operation in the food and bioprocess industry with a significant impact

Anaerobic co-digestion allows for under-utilised digesters to increase biomethane production. The organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW), i.e., food waste, is an abundant substrate with high degradability and gas potential. This paper investigates the co-digestion of mixed sludge from wastewater treatment plants and OFMSW, through batch and continuous lab-scale experiments, modelling, a

1. IntroductionIn the last two decades the pulp and paper industry has put significant efforts into improving its productivity and reducing its fresh water consumption. Among the different approaches, recycling close to the source has been identified as one of the most effective ways to reduce water consumption and recycle valuable components. The focus of this paper is thus on the different opp
