Biological characteristics of virus quantitatively rescued from different cell types present in lymph nodes of HIV-1-infected individuals in various stages of their disease were determined, not including patients with AIDS defining illness. Viruses were obtained by cocultivation with donor monocyte-derived macrophages and T-lymphocytes and their biological phenotype compared to viruses obtained fr
The nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spin-spin relaxation time (T2) is related to the radiation-dependent concentration of polymer formed in polymer gel dosimeters manufactured from monomers in an aqueous gelatin matrix. Changes in T2 with time post-irradiation have been reported in the literature but their nature is not fully understood. We investigated those changes with time after irradiation u
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling utgöres av två separata rapporter, där studieobjektet för den första är en vektorvärd Sturm-Liouville ekvation på formen -(PU')'+QU=zU, xin[0,b), med P^{-1},W,Q hermiteska med lokalt integrerbara matriselement; och under vissa ytterligare villkor på P^{-1} och W. Under dessa förutsättningar härleds några huvudresultat beträf- fande asymptotiken, då z igThis discourse is constituted by two separate reprots, where the first one offers an elementary deduction of the leading order term asymptotics for the Titchmarsh-Weyl M-function corresponding to a vector-valued Sturm-Liouville equation of the form -(PU')'+QU=zu, xin[0,b), with P^{-1},W,Q being hermitean with locally integrable entries; and under some additional conditions on P^{-1} and W.

Smooth muscle is a slow and economical muscle with a large variability in contractile properties. This review describes results regarding the relation between expression of myosin isoforms and the contraction of smooth muscle. The focus of the review is on studies of the organised contractile system in the smooth muscle tissue. The role of the myosin heavy chain variants formed by alternative spli
Like the other dialects spoken in the Salentine peninsula, the dialect from Gallipoli, Gallipolino, presents a limited use of infinitival clauses. Instead of several infinitival constructions as in standard Italian, we find some finite constructions introduced by two different complementizers: ka and ku. Traditionally, the phenomenon of the double complementation system in Southern Italian dialect
ABSTRACT: Study Design. The SRS brace study (JBJS-A, 1995) was comprised of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis with moderate curve sizes (25-35°). Forty observed and 37 braced patients (77% of the original group) attended a follow-up a mean of 16 years after onset of maturity.Objectives. To analyze whether the subjectively evaluated present body appearance affects outcome as measured by
For mothers with diabetes, breastfeeding is a great challenge due to their struggle with potentially unstable blood glucose levels. This paper explores breastfeeding attitudes and impact of breastfeeding on the daily life of mothers with type 1 diabetes compared with non-diabetic mothers.Methods: We performed a prospective cohort study of 108 mothers with type 1 diabetes and a reference group of 1
Popular Abstract in Swedish Proteinkinas C (PKC) är en familj enzymer (protein som påskyndar cellulära förlopp) bestående av åtminstone 10 medlemmar (isoformer) vilka är involverade i ett flertal cellulära processer. Varje isoform är namngiven med en grekisk bokstav och beroende på olika egenskaper hos enzymerna kan PKC familjen delas in i tre undergrupper, de klassiska (α, βΙ, βΙΙ och γ), de nya Protein kinase C (PKC) is a family of serine/threonine kinases subgrouped into classical (α, βI, βII, γ), novel (δ, ε, η, θ) and atypical (ζ, ι/λ) isoforms. PKC can be activated by phorbol esters, and prolonged treatment of neuroblastoma cells has been shown to induce neuronal differentiation with neurite outgrowth and increased expression of neuronal genes. Here we show that a classical PKCβ isof
In vitro studies have revealed intriguing properties of parallel fiber synaptic transmisson. Most notably, these synapses have been shown to induce highly variable synaptic responses, have a pronounced paired pulse facilitation and to induce later, variable synaptic responses in their target neurons. In the present study, whole cell recordings from stellate cells and basket cells were made to eval

An in-house written software package was used to generate templates of QRS complexes and T waves using self-similarity techniques, and leave a residual signal representing only atrial activity. The templating performance differences between individual ECG leads were tested. The mean number of templates in each of the 3 ECG leads was 8±4, 2±1, 7±5 for the QRS complexes, and 11±5, 11±8, 10±5 for the
In this paper, I discuss the following questions: - What kind of implication arises from an argument wh-question? - What kind of implication arises from a clefted argument wh-question in Swedish? - Is there any difference in Swedish between clefted and non-clefted argument wh-questions with regard to the implications of existence they give rise to? I argue that both types of argument wh-questi
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling behandlar organisatoriska aspekter som organisationsklimat, psykologiskt klimat samt medarbetarskap utifrån ledarskapsbeteende, arbetskamratsbeteende och interaktivt ledare-följarebeteende. Den sistnämnda faktorn handlar både om ledarens och följarens (medarbetarens, arbetskamratens) beteende och om dessa är samstämmiga (kongruenta) eller skilda. AvhandThis doctoral dissertation was driven by an inspiration to study how employees behave toward each other from an interactive perspective where all members of an organization are considered active contributors. Employeeship holds this perspective and acknowledges the importance of productive relationships. The objective of this dissertation is to contribute to the conceptual and methodological devel
We provide an approximate analytical solution for the substrate-microbial dynamics of the organic carbon cycle in natural soils under hydro-climatic variable forcing conditions. The model involves mass balance in two carbon pools: substrate and biomass. The analytical solution is based on a perturbative solution of concentrations, and can properly reproduce the numerical solutions for the full non
