Popular Abstract in Swedish Inom processanalytisk kemi är uppgiften att bestämma viktiga egenskaper i en kemisk process under det att tillverkningen fortlöper. Ett vanligt exempel är att man bestämmer halten av något ämne. Eftersom de uppmätta egenskaperna ofta används för att styra processandet mot bästa möjliga betingelser är det av generellt intresse att mätningen går snabbt. Men det är inte noPharmaceutical tablets and pellets are often covered with a coating. There is a need for methods that enable monitoring of the growth of such films during processing. Such analyses can be performed using process analytical chemical methods based on near infrared (NIR) diffuse reflectance spectrometry. It provides with analyses that take only ca. 8 seconds in total analysis time, including physical
Intumescent coating is an important fire protection method for steel structures. Traditionally its fire properties have been evaluated by performing furnace tests using a standardized test procedure and following a standardized time-temperature curve. This procedure is restrictive in performance based fire safety engineering design since it limits the fire condition to the standard one only. In th
Popular Abstract in Swedish Närmare 30.000 svenskar drabbas årligen av stroke (slaganfall). I ungefär 85 % av fallen är orsaken en blodpropp i ett av hjärnans kärl s.k. hjärninfarkt. En avstängning av blodflödet orsakar en snabbt insättande förlust av funktionen i det drabbade området, t.ex. halvsidig förlamning, bortfall av delar av synfältet liksom störning av olika högre hjärnfunktioner såsom mAbstract Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the western world, and the number one cause of disability. 85% of all strokes are ischemic. Most stroke survivors will experience recovery of function. The mechanisms behind this improvement are partly unknown, but may involve elements of both compensation and restoration. Exposure to an enriched environment (EE) that stimulates social interac
A hybrid ventilation system including sewage heat recovery for low energy buildings has been investigated using TRNSYS. Energy from solar collectors is used in combination with the heat recovered from the sewage system to preheat the ventilation air and the cold water for domestic use. Results show that the new system renders a possibility to use natural ventilation in passive houses and zero ener
Objective: To investigate if the improved glucose tolerance previously observed at breakfast following an evening meal with boiled barley kernels derives from colonic events related to the fermentation of the elevated amounts of indigestible carbohydrates present and/or from the low-GI features. Subjects/Methods: Twenty healthy volunteers aged 19–30 years. Design: High-GI white wheat bread (WWB)
Popular Abstract in Swedish Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Skivepitelcancer i huvud- och halsregionen (SCCHN) Kliniska aspekter Prognosen vid SCCHN är i stort sett oförändrat dålig sedan 30 år tillbaka; cirka hälften av patienterna dör av sin sjukdom. Trots stora tekniska framsteg kring behandlingsteknikerna (ofta en kombination av kirurgi, strål- och i viss mån cellgiftsbehandling) medför dAt present, clinical outcome or response to therapy can not be fully predicted in individual cases of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). The overall aim of the present studies was to investigate potential prognostic factors, more closely related to the malignant progression of a tumor than the established markers, such as the TNM-classification system. Tumor samples were investi
The physiological impacts and fitness costs of parasitism by an introduced ectoparasitic fly, Philornis downsi (Muscidae), were studied in nestlings of Darwin's Small Ground Finch, Geospiza fuliginosa (Geospizinae), on the Galápagos Archipelago. Whole blood haemoglobin (Hb) concentration was used to measure host response to ectoparasitism due to its high repeatability and validity, as well as for
Bile-tolerant Helicobacter spp. are emerging human and animal pathogens. However, due to their fastidious nature, which requires nutrient-rich complex media to grow, infection with these bacteria may be underestimated. The accumulation of toxic metabolites in cultures may be one of the main obstacles for successful culture of these organisms. The present study examined various potential growth-enh
The objective of the investigation was to determine the effects of sewage sludge application on nutrient concentrations in soil and plant biomass fractions in Scots pine forests (Pinus sylvestris, L.), situated on sandy soils with low pH, in a south to north temperature gradient in Sweden. Twenty tons dw ha(-)1 of sewage sludge was applied in 50 to 60 yr old pine forests at four sites from Brosarp
We present experimentally derived potential curves and spin-orbit interaction functions for the strongly perturbed A (1)Sigma(+)(u) and b (3)Pi(u) states of the rubidium dimer. The results are based on laser-induced fluorescence and optical-optical double-resonance polarization spectroscopy measurements combined with earlier laser-induced fluorescence data. We used an analytic potential (Hannover
In an attempt to quantitatively evaluate the natural versus anthropogenic signal in site fire histories, the statistical relationship between dendrochronologically dated fire events and tree-ring chronologies (deemed to be an independent proxy for climate variation) was analyzed for 14 sites in a 2600-km(2) area of pine-dominated forests in the Komi Republic (East European Russia) over the period
This case-control study based in Nordic serum banks evaluated the joint effects of infections with genital human papillomavirus (HPV) types, and Chlamydia trachomatis in the aetiology of cervical squamous cell carcinoma. Through a linkage with the cancer registries, 144 cases were identified and 420 controls matched to them. Exposure to past infections was defined by the presence of specific IgG a
