The Romanian language lectureship in Trondheim was established on 5th June 2008. This is the date when an agreement was signed between The Institute of the Romanian Language, represented by its director, Mrs. Ionela Dabija, and Norges Teknisk-Naturvitenskapelige Universitet (NTNU) [Norwegian University of Science and Technology], represented by professor Arne Halvorsen, the head of Institutt for m
The history of scientific illustrations is a story that correspond the cultural, economic, political and scientific history of the world. A look into the history of sciences displays that pictures and illustrations had a decisive role for the sciences progressive success and rising societal status from the sixteenth century. The illustrations visualized the unknown to graspable facts. Without the
Background No comprehensive systematic review of the accuracy of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) measurement methods using renal inulin clearance as reference has been published. Study Design Systematic review with meta-analysis of cross-sectional diagnostic studies. Setting & Population Published original studies and systematic reviews in any population. Selection Criteria for Studies Index
To determine the intrinsic and effective clothing evaporative resistances,both in the individual clothing, and in the nulti-layer clothing ensembles meant for winter season, a fabric sweating thermal manikin Walter was used. Based on the tests performed on the individual garments, two empirical equations were developed for the estimation of these resistances, useful either to clothing manufacturer
Background: Cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and mercury (Hg) cause toxicological renal effects, but the clinical relevance at low-level exposures in general populations is unclear. The objective of this study is to assess the risk of developing end-stage renal disease in relation to Cd, Pb, and Hg exposure. Methods: A total of 118 cases who later in life developed end-stage renal disease, and 378 matched
Every day we talk and speak and chat to people. We write and listen to each other, refer to each other, describe to each other what we and others have done and said. Doing this, we sometimes use our given names, sometimes we go by our nicknames, which often indicate or clarify who we are or are made up by ourselves to draw other people’s attention. Nicknames can be official or informal, known by m
In Swedish contemporary society we find ongoing processes of secularization and the idea of secularism being challenged by a growing religious plurality in society. The overall purpose of this article is to highlight what happens when religion in a secularized and secular society enter into the public sphere as a result of inter-religious groups’ collaboration with local authorities. This is done
The grey partridge Perdix perdix has suffered a severe decline in numbers and contraction in range during the last half century. The loss of landscape heterogeneity through agricultural intensification has often been indicated as a cause. By preserving and managing small biotopes and creating uncropped border zones, some ecological heterogeneity is maintained and recreated with the aid of agri-env
We report on a theoretical discovery of a generic piezoelectric held in strained core shell compound semiconductor nanowires. We show, using both an analytical model and numerical simulations based on fully electroelastically coupled continuum elasticity theory, that lattice-mismatch-induced strain in an epiraxial core shell nanowire gives rise to an internal electric held along the axis of the na
Addiction treatment often requires medical, psychosocial and social expertise - and benefits from collaboration. The pronounced role of social authorities in evaluation and treatment is unique to the addiction field. Unified responsibility for evaluation and treatment of addiction is under consideration. Treatment of psychiatric and physical co-morbidity benefits from a unified responsibility with
In myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, complement activation, tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) and extracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) release contribute to myocardial injury. ATP is degraded into adenosine by the enzyme apyrase, and adenosine possesses cardioprotective properties. ADC-1004 is an antagonist of the receptor to the activated complement factor C5a. Hypothermia has
The structure of interest is a thin, metallic coating of fcc copper, of thickness down to a few nanometers only, resting on a stiffer substrate. The elastic and plastic properties of the thin coating using nanoindentation under different geometrical features such as size of the indenter and coating thickness are determined. The force-displacement curve is monitored during indentation and the preci
In order to promote phase separation and properties of anion-exchange membranes (AEMs)we have prepared polysulfones with an exceptionally high local concentration of imidazolium groups. Statistical copolymers containing single dioxyphenylene rings directly functionalized with four cationic groups were synthesized by polycondensations of 4,4’-dichlorodiphenylsulfone, 4,4′-isopropylidenediphenol and
The mill in Lilla Harrie vas belonging to noble families in the medieval period. It was confiscated by the king in 1502 and sold to the archbishop in 1509. By the reformation in the 1530:ies it again came to be owned by the king. It belonged to the castle in Landskrona and in the royal archives it is possible to follow the developement of the mill in detail up to the swedish conquest in 1658. Then
