The Heat Flux method was further developed to significantly reduce its experimental uncertainty and used to determine burning velocities under conditions when the net heat loss from the flame to the burner is zero. Non-stretched flames were stabilized on a perforated plate burner at 1 atm. Measurements of the adiabatic burning velocity of methane air flames at initial mixture temperatures of 318 K
Following the recommendations drawn after the Commissioning Phase of the ENVISAT satellite in 2002, SCIAMACHY near real time data processors were upgraded to version 5.01 in early 2004. Before public release of the new SCIAMACHY nitrogen dioxide (NO2) vertical column data product, several validation teams investigated its improvement and assessed its geophysical consistency by means of correlative
Background: Adipose tissue is a source of inflammatory cytokines which may influence insulin action. Aim: To evaluate exercise effects on plasma (p)-levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, and interleukin (IL)-6 in Peruvian Amerindian women. Material and Methods: After five years of observation during which p-glucose deteriorated and weight increased, 44 Peruvian Amerindian women aged 20-59 y
We present a light-storage experiment in a praseodymium-doped crystal where the light is mapped onto an inhomogeneously broadened optical transition shaped into an atomic frequency comb. After absorption of the light, the optical excitation is converted into a spin-wave excitation by a control pulse. A second control pulse reads the memory (on-demand) by reconverting the spin-wave excitation to an
Huruvida en skiljeklausul i det ursprungliga kontraktet blir giltig mellan successor och kvarvarande part vid singularsuccession finns inte reglerat i svensk lag och har varit föremål för delade meningar. Den ledande uppfattningen i doktrin var länge att skiljeklausulen kunde göras gällande mot successor om han ägt eller bort äga kännedom om klausulen. Se exempelvis Dillén och Hassler. Heuman fram
This thesis explores the sociomaterial dynamics involved in the migration process to a new library system, specifically focusing on the case of Quria, developed by Axiell and launched in 2017. Using a sociomaterial perspective the study examines how this technological transition affects the social structures within library organizations. The research is based on qualitative data collected through
When an EU MS executes a state aid recovery decision, specifically those cases regarding Advance Pricing Agreements (APAs), an economic double taxation issue and a potential TP dispute may arise, which could be generated by the need for the application of a corresponding adjustment. In any case, each jurisdiction has the discretion to determine if the application of a corresponding adjustment shou
Yellow rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. Tritici) is a crop disease caused by a fungus that regularly infects wheat and causes yield loss in Ethiopia. The disease has a significant impact on the country’s crop production, food security, health, and socioeconomic well-being. Anticipating yellow rust epidemics can help to better manage them and mitigate their adverse impacts. This study explores t
The Brazilian tax system is known to be very complex. The main reasons to that is presumably the fact that the federalist pact adopted by the Brazilian Federal Constitution gives a considerable autonomy to all federal entities (the federal government, the states, the Federal District and the municipalities) to impose levies. Besides that, the Brazilian tax system is composed by numerous levies, su
Following the outbreak of new media technologies, researchers in museum studies have acknowledged the increasing importance of digital content creation for museums. Today, Social Media provides museums with the opportunity to engage with their audiences beyond museum walls and pursue their organizational mission in innovative ways. Despite a growing interest in the organizational changes that make
The emerging debate on transnational populism has thus far mainly focused on cases, which have remained relatively inconsequential due to the weak institutionalisation of the political transnationalism arena. By bringing in a better-structured arena of migrant transnationalism, this paper introduces populist political parties mobilising transnational migrants to the debate and explores the resulti
BACKGROUND: Low back pain (LBP) is a leading cause of work absence globally. Digital interventions have the potential to increase access to self-management support for individuals with persistent LBP.OBJECTIVE: This study aims to evaluate the feasibility, usability, and acceptability of a digital educational program (MyRelief) designed to support self-management strategies for people with persiste
X-ray Fluorescence microscopy is a sophisticated advanced technique which can provide information regarding the concentration and the distribution of chemical elements within biological samples. It is increasingly used in the study of cells and tissues as it does not require the use of staining or fluorescent probes. For XRF measurements, sample preparation is a key step in the analytical process
Denna framställning har författats i syfte att utreda köparens möjligheter att med framgång göra gällande fel, när det formella köpobjektet utgörs av en eller flera aktier. En vaken läsare inser omedelbart att preciseringen ''formellt'' köpobjekt indikerar förekomsten av ett ''reellt'' sådant, vilket också är en viktig utgångspunkt i mitt resonemang.När frågan om sä
The utility of the GHOST(3) cell assay has been evaluated for testing coreceptor use of primary human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) isolates. GHOST(3) cells were derived from the human osteosarcoma cell line, HOS, and have been engineered to stably express CD4 and one or another of the chemokine receptors CCR3, CCR5, CXCR4, Bonzo, or the orphan receptor BOB. The Indicator cell line carries
Glucagon, secreted from pancreatic islet a cells, stimulates gluconeogenesis and liver glycogen breakdown. The mechanism regulating glucagon release is debated, and variously attributed to neuronal control, paracrine control by neighbouring beta cells, or to an intrinsic glucose sensing by the a cells themselves. We examined hormone secretion and Ca2+ responses of a and b cells within intact roden
A general methodology for noise reduction and contrast enhancement in very noisy image data with low dynamic range is presented. Video footage recorded in very dim light is especially targeted. Smoothing kernels that automatically adapt to the local spatio-temporal intensity structure in the image sequences are constructed in order to preserve and enhance fine spatial detail and prevent motion blu
A novel immunoassay (PINC-ELISA) was designed using proteinase inhibitors of the cystatin superfamily (PINC) in the solid phase, to promote the selective capture of cysteine proteinases. The method was applied in the identification of papain-like antigens from parasitic protozoa. PINC of human origin, namely recombinant cystatin C (r-cystatin C) or low molecular weight kininogen were used in the a
