With the ultimate goal to study milk folate bioavailability, a reverse-phase HPLC technique was developed and compared with a radioprotein binding assay. All methods showed similar ranges for folates in cow’s milk, with the variation attributed to seasonal variations and the use of different starter cultures. Most cheese varieties contained slightly higher values for whey cream cheese. Studies usi
This paper describes national cooperation in Sweden launched by its universities and authorities, aimed at improving geodata education. These initiatives have been focused upon providing common access to geodata, the production of teaching materials in Swedish and organizing annual meetings for teachers. We argue that this type of cooperation is vital to providing high quality education for a poor
Increased use of the Internet has created new business opportunities and market channels. The pharmacy retail sector is using e-commerce to sell pharmaceuticals. In the USA over 400 different pharmacies were selling products to their customers and offering home delivery in the year 2000. The Swedish pharmaceutical industry has seen e-commerce as a new market channel and is introducing contact cent
Många människor i dagens samhälle har kunskap om en rad miljöproblem. De vet också hur miljöproblem hänger samman med mänskliga beteenden och handlingsmönster. Många känner oro för framtiden och en hel del uttrycker detta offentligt genom demonstrationer, protester i massmedia eller i samtal man och man emellan. Ändå går de allra flesta förändringar i konsumtionsmönster, handlingsmönster och livss

This licentiate thesis consists of three separate papers that investigate the effects of negotiation and renegotiation in Bertrand games. The first paper investigates collusion in an infinitely repeated Bertrand duopoly where firms have different discount factors. In order to study how a collusive agreement is reached we model the equilibrium selection as an alternating-offer bargaining game. The
A order 3-bit continuous-time (CT) ΔΣ ADC is presented in this paper. The design equations starting from a discrete-time reference modulator to the circuit implementation are given. The non-return to zero (NRZ) DAC pulses have a half clock cycle loopdelay which is corrected by the feedforward (also known as PI) loop delay compensation, and nonlinearities in the DACs are suppressed by data-weighted
Two unrelated individuals with autistic behavior had numerous swollen axon terminals (spheroids) located in specific brain regions relevant to their behavioral symptoms. Spheroids are characteristic of neuroaxonal dystrophy, but the clinical profile and anatomic distribution of the lesions in these two patients differed from those of previously described patients with neuroaxonal dystrophy. Sphero
A key problem in studies of bilingual linguistic cognition is how to probe the details of underlying representations in order to gauge whether bilinguals' conceptualizations differ from those of monolinguals, and if so how. This chapter provides an overview of a line of studies that rely on speech-associated gestures to explore these issues. The gestures of adult monolingual native speakers differ
Java has proven to he a powerful language for software development. In this paper we show that it is also suitable for hardware compilation, making it an attractive language for embedded system development. Our compilation technique, which is presented here, is based on separating different aspects of the program and use dedicated and specialised optimisations and code generators for each aspect.
The environment in which companies operate is constantly changing thereby changing the parameters determining whether they are to be successful in business. One of the strategies that have been popular in ensuring profitability for companies is outsourcing – traditionally done in order to lower cost. In past years the initiative for outsourcing has shifted from simple cost reductions to involving
I artikeln analyseras de begreppen jämställdhet och jämlikhet mot bakgrund av den nya samlade diskrimineringslagen från 2009. I stället för att ge ett samlat skydd mot diskriminering, menar Schömer, att lagen snarare ger ett intryck av ett splittrat och tämligen ostrukturerat hopkok av skilda former av diskriminering, visserligen sammanförda i en ny lag. Genom en nyläsning av jämställdhetsbegreppe
Popular Abstract in Swedish Streptococcus pyogenes (GAS) är en viktig sjukdomsframkallande bakterie som orsakar alltifrån lindriga infektioner som halsfluss (tonsillit) och svinkoppar (impetigo) till livshotande djupa infektioner som nekrotiserande fasceit eller ”Toxic shock syndrom”. På grund av det snabba sjukdomsförloppet i de livshotande infektionerna har streptokockerna fått beteckningen ”mörA distinguishing feature of Streptococcus pyogenes (GAS) is their ability to resist phagocytosis in whole human blood in the absence of type-specific antibodies, a property that is dependent on the expression of the surface associated M proteins. A common characteristic of M proteins is their interaction with a variety of host proteins including the complement regulatory protein factor H (FH) and
