Supported Iridium pincer complexes were used to study gas-phase isopropanol dehydrogenation under continuous flow system at temperatures 200-260 °C with different flow rates. First supported catalyst was [Ir(C2H4)(p-tBu2PO-tBu4POCOP)] supported by covalent bonding to silica, the second one was [Ir(HCl)(p-HO2C- tBu4POCOP)] supported by adsorption to γ-Alumina. The highest activity of catalyst 1 w
The purpose of the essay is to explore the possibility of using some insights of the Russian philosopher of the dialogic word and literary scholar Mikhail Bakhtin in supervision, from an existential perspective. The essay ends with a case.
A good head of beer gives nice texture and prevents releasing of aroma. The beer foam stability depends on numerous parameters. In this study, it was focused on the interfacial rheological properties such as surface tension and dilational modulus in relation the film formation by isohumulones and beer proteins at the air-water interfaces. The isohumulones and beer protein samples were prepared ind
This thesis concerns involuntary treatment of alcoholism. Clients committed according to the Swedish Act on Care of Addicts in Certain Cases were treated in the same residential treatment setting as voluntarily admitted clients. After informed consent, 104 clients (73 men and 21 women of whom 56 were compulsorily committed and 47 voluntarily admitted) participated in a test-series, including asses
In conventional MIMO, propagation conditions are often considered wide-sense stationary over the entire antenna array. In massive MIMO systems, where arrays can span over large physical dimensions, the situation is quite different. For instance, significant variations in signal strength, due to shadowing, can be experienced across a large array. These effects vary with propagation environment in w
This thesis concerns a novel alkaline protease produced by an extremophilic microbial specie, designated as AL20, isolated from a feather sample collected at the shore of the alkaline soda lake Abjata in the Ethiopian Rift Valley. The isolate is a heterotrophic, alkaliphilic, halotolerant gram-positive, strictly aerobic, non-motile, non-spore forming bacterium. The organism grew at 37°C, pH 10, an
Popular Abstract in Swedish Många åtminstone i min generation kommer säkert ihåg att de under gymnasiets biologilektioner fick lära sig att vatten diffunderade fritt över cellens membran ? osmos och fri diffusion var ledorden. Jag vet inte hur läroböckerna är utformade idag, men efter att Nobelpriset i kemi år 2003 tilldelades Peter Agre för upptäckten av att aquaporiner fungerar som vattenkanalerIn order to identify integral and peripheral proteins associated with the plasma membrane (PM), highly purified Arabidopsis PMs were analyzed by mass spectrometry. In total, 238 putative PM proteins were identified, of which 114 were predicted to have transmembrane domains or to be PM-anchored. Identified proteins were involved in transport, signal transduction, membrane trafficking and stress res
Introduction Attrition from antiretroviral therapy (ART) programmes is a critical challenge among children receiving care in resource-limited settings. Our objective was to determine the rates and predictors of attrition among children on ART in Ethiopia. Methods Between December 2014 and September 2016, we conducted a prospective cohort study in eight health facilities in Ethiopia. Eligibility cr
How can artistic creative practice be combined with ethnological cultural analysis? A process based on practices of art probing is proposed and related to discussions about museum imaginaries, digital cultures and sensory aspects of ethnography. The point of departure for the discussion is the audiovisual performance Possible Worlds.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate a system for delivery of inhaled nitric oxide.DESIGN: Prospective, laboratory study.SETTING: Engineering laboratory.SUBJECTS: A standard ventilator (Servo Ventilator 300), supplemented with extra gas modules for nitric oxide delivery.INTERVENTIONS: Two ventilator-integrated gas modules, delivering < or = 10 parts per million (ppm) or < or = 100 ppm of nitric oxide, were used
Background High plasma HDL cholesterol is associated with reduced risk of myocardial infarction, but whether this association is causal is unclear. Exploiting the fact that genotypes are randomly assigned at meiosis, are independent of non-genetic confounding, and are unmodified by disease processes, mendelian randomisation can be used to test the hypothesis that the association of a plasma biomar
The current epidemiologic evidence suggests that men with type 2 diabetes mellitus may be at lower risk of developing prostate cancer, but little is known about its association with stage and grade of the disease. The association between self-reported diabetes mellitus at recruitment and risk of prostate cancer was examined in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)
The flux during membrane filtration can be enhanced by the use of a two-phase gas–liquid flow. This has been shown to be an energy-efficient alternative to increasing the cross-flow velocity. In this work, air sparging was used to increase the flux during ultrafiltration of alkali-extracted wheat bran hemicelluloses. Batch filtration was performed in a pilot unit with a ceramic ultrafiltration mem
Knowledge about subjects who sustain hip fractures in middle age is poor. This study prospectively investigated risk factors for hip fracture in middle age and compared risk factors for cervical and trochanteric hip fractures. The Malmo Preventive Project consists of 22,444 men, mean age 44 years, and 10,902 women, mean age 50 years at inclusion. Baseline assessment included multiple examinations
