The composition of the colonic microflora is essential for the health of the human host. To be able to survive, the microflora is dependent of a continuous supply of substrate. In this respect dietary fibre and other indigestible carbohydrates, of which the consumption in affluent societies is generally low, are of great importance. Numerous of studies have demonstrated beneficial effects of dieta

Fatty acids (FA) have crucial functions in animals, affecting e.g. inflammatory responses, thermoregulation, and cell membrane fluidity. Diet and ambient temperature affect animals’ FA composition, which, in turn, may influence these physiological processes. Great tit (Parus major) −common in both urban and rural habitats− are mainly granivorous during winter and insectivorous during summer. These

Background: Delayed reconstruction of transection or laceration injuries of peripheral nerves is inflicted by a reduced regeneration capacity. Diabetic conditions, more frequently encountered in clinical practice, are known to further impair regeneration in peripheral nerves. Chitosan nerve guides (CNGs) have recently been introduced as a new generation of medical devices for immediate peripheral

The physical processes and time scales underlying the evolution of surface tension in atmospheric solution droplets are largely unaccounted for in present models describing cloud droplet formation. Adsorption of surface-active molecules at the surface of a solution droplet depresses the droplet surface tension but also depletes solute from the droplet bulk, which have opposing and sometimes cancel

Background: Non-linearities in observed log-ratios of gene expressions, also known as intensity dependent log-ratios, can often be accounted for by global biases in the two channels being compared. Any step in a microarray process may introduce such offsets and in this article we study the biases introduced by the microarray scanner and the image analysis software. Results: By scanning the same sp

n this paper I argue that strategic communication practitioners are set to form a monopoly over specific skills and competences, which separate them from other groups in order to gain professional status. This process has developed gradually; requirements for communication workers were not that high put a couple of decades ago. But in relation to demands on a societal level, strategic communicatio

We have shown recently that PrkC, which is involved in developmental processes in Bacillus subtilis, is a Ser/Thr kinase with features of the receptor kinase family of eukaryotic Hanks kinases. In this study, we expressed and purified from Escherichia coli the cytoplasmic domain of PrkC containing the kinase and a short juxtamembrane region. This fragment, which we designate PrkCc, undergoes autop

Popular science summary: Healing: what we can learn from white mice Stem cells are a cell type responsible for building the body. They are the ancestor cells from which all the cells making up the body’s tissues are created. Stem cells play an important role in maintaining the body in shape by repairing damages as they occur during life. We believe that if we had a better understanding of how t

The interest for renewable energy within Australia is growing and the New South Wales (NSW) Government has committed to a Renewable Energy Target scheme of 20 percent renewable energy by 2020. Wind energy is a mature renewable energy resource, which has been successfully deployed for electricity generation around the world. It is further believed to be a viable option to help expand the renewable

Big Data has experienced recent developments in the field of Business Intelligence and has captured the increasing interest of enterprises who are trying to seize its potential. More and more companies, operating in industries ranging from insurance to the entertainment industry, are moving forward with the adoption of Big Data, in an attempt to gain significant benefits, such as customer insight,

Management systems need to be able to stay viable in a changing environment and not become counterproductive because the surroundings have changed. The purpose of this study is to create a concept that can act as a foundation for future management systems. This concept should try to help close the gap between how the management systems are intended to be used, versus how they are actually used in

Product Space methodology introduced in 2007 initiated a new perspective in diversification studies. It finds out stylized facts that generally developed countries mainly export core product (metal, machinery, chemicals), while developing countries mainly export periphery products (agriculture, primary goods). Besides, these two types of products have very low proximity. They do not share many com

Written essay investigates Gothenburg municipalitys´ new policy which tries to integrate unaccompanied minors in strong socio-economic neighborhoods. This essay therefore tries to answer the question of how prepared these communities are for integrating their new neighbors,- this is done by a case study of city district of Örgryte-Härlanda, which is one of many places planned for temporary accommo

Bakgrund: Elektroniktillverkaren The Company implementerade för 4-5 år sedan en ABC-klassificeringsmodell för klassificering av de komponenter som de köper in. Nu vill företaget utmana den nuvarande modellen och utvärdera om de använder korrekta parametrar för klassificering, för att undersöka om det finns möjlighet till förbättring. Därför efterfrågar The Company en ny modell som baseras på den tBackground: The electronic manufacturing company The Company implemented a new model for ABC classification of supplied components about 4-5 years ago. Today, they want to challenge this model and evaluate if they have been using the correct parameters, or if improvement can be made. They wish for a new model that is based on the theory in field, to make a comparison with the existing model. The p

It is interesting to see how

Intumescent coating acts as a thermal barrier for construction materials during fire hazards. The coating has the ability to expand by a factor of 40 or more during heat exposure. However, due to its fragile consistence, no physical or optical measurement technique has previously been able to measure the coating surface temperature during expansion. This is undesirable since without accurate infor

OBJECTIVES: To study long-term patient-relevant outcomes after meniscectomy, a surgical procedure associated with a high risk of knee osteoarthritis (OA). Principal objectives were to compare traumatic with degenerative meniscal tear and partial with subtotal meniscectomy.METHODS: We studied a well-defined cohort of 205 patients who had undergone isolated unilateral meniscectomy between 1983 and 1

We were interested in catalogers as human beings and in their reaction to a changed working situation. In the light of the changes which have been made at the libraries during the nineties, we investigated why the very group catalogers reacted with an intense and engaged open debate at the same time as librarians with special competence didn t seem to react in this way. The open debate about the c
