The Clp protease is conserved among eubacteria and most eukaryotes, and uses ATP to drive protein substrate unfolding and translocation into a chamber of sequestered proteolytic active sites. The main constitutive Clp protease in photosynthetic organisms has evolved into a functionally essential and structurally intricate enzyme. The model Clp protease from the cyanobacterium Synechococcus consist
REXEBIS is the charge breeder of the REX-ISOLDE postaccelerator. Radioactive 1+ ions produced at ISOLDE are accumulated, phase-space cooled and bunched in REXTRAP, and thereafter injected into the EBIS with an energy of up to 60 keV. The REXEBIS produced the first charge bred ions in August 2001 and has been running nearly non-stop from September to December 2001. It has delivered stable 39K10+ an
Recent years’ progress in the development of Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM) has made rich well-sampled glucose data readily available. Reliable, frequent measurements are of outmost importance for the emerging closed-loop control of diabetic plasma glucose. However, these sensors do not measure the variable of primary interest - plasma glucose, but a delayed signal - the interstitial glucose. T
Aim: To explore the association between the coagulation protein fibrinogen and the fibrinolytic biomarker plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 ( PAI- 1) and the long- term mortality after coronary artery bypass grafting ( CABG). Patients and Methods: In 729 patients undergoing CABG at Sahlgrenska University Hospital, a blood sample for fibrinogen and PAI-1 was collected prior to the procedure. Patien
Carbon content and indices of microbial biomass and activity were determined in 1985 in different soil horizons of two nitrogen-fertilized pine forests in Sweden. The Kroksbo site was fertilized in 1974 with 150 and 600 kg N•ha−1 using NH4NO3 or urea, while the Nissafors site was fertilized in 1977 and 1984 with 150 kg NH4NO3-N•ha−1 The absolute amount of C per square metre of forest floor increas
The aim of the present study was to examine mean HbA1c and blood pressure levels during a 5 year period in 442 type 1 adult diabetic patients in relation to the incidence and progression of retinopathy, nephropathy and to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The study showed, that in patients under routine care at a diabetic unit with four visits to the out-patient clinic per year, the intraind
From an ecological point of view it is important to close nutrient cycles by recirculating mineral nutrients from the urban society back to agriculture and forestry, and thereby obtaining a sustainable resource utilisation. A part of this cycle is illustrated by irrigation of bioreactor landfill leachates on short rotation forests. This paper presents a budget for nutrients and heavy metals, begin
Popular Abstract in Swedish Asymmetrisk katalys är ett omfattande forskningsområde där ett flertal olika typer av enantioselektiva katalysatorer har utvecklats och använts i en mängd olika kemiska reaktioner med varierande resultat. Det finns ingen katalysator som fungerar lika väl i alla applikationer, utan resultaten varierar från fall till fall och för vissa typer av substrat behövs det därför
OBJECTIVES: The referrals of elderly for cardiac surgery are increasing. The aim of this retrospective study is to review the long-term survival and to identify causes of late death in elderly after cardiac surgery. DESIGN: Between 1990 and 1993, 130 octogenarians underwent cardiac surgery in our department. A majority (88%) had elective surgery. One hundred and nine patients (84%) were in New Yor
The purpose of this study is to assess QT interval measurements from the EASI 12-lead ECG as compared to the standard 12-lead ECG. The QT interval was automatically measured in simultaneously recorded standard and EASI 12- lead ECGs, using a validated wavelet-based delineator. The agreement between the two sets of measurements was quantified both on a lead-by-lead basis and a multilead basis. The
The effects of two sympathomimetic drugs on mucociliary activity and mucosal blood flow in the rabbit maxillary sinus were investigated by using a photo-electric technique (mucociliary activity) and laser Doppler flowmetry (blood flow). The responses produced were compared with effects of ligation of the external carotid artery. The alpha 1-agonist phenylpropanolamine (0.1-100 micrograms/kg) had n
Denna uppsats ämnar att kasta ljus över humanitära interventioner och huruvida de är lagliga enligt folkrätten idag samt om deras rättsliga ställning är på väg att förändras i framtiden. Fokus i uppsatsen ligger på den humanitära krisen i Syrien och hur de rättsliga övervägandena såg ut för en humanitär intervention där, samt vad som blev implikationerna för den gällande rätten efter denna kris. UThis essay seeks to shed some light on the concept of humanitarian intervention and whether it is considered legal or not in international law. Furthermore, the concept of humanitarian intervention is discussed in a developmental perspective, where the current regulation of humanitarian intervention is analysed and suggestions are presented for what might be the future for the concept. The essay f
Contracts in the EU operate in a complex legal environment. Depending on the situation, they are subject to a patchwork of national, European, and international rules. As a result, economic operators exercising the ‘four freedoms’ find themselves in a great ocean of private international law, containing smaller islands of EU law and national rules. This paper explores some of the fundamental issu
