Intensive surveys of staging and wintering diving ducks in the Öresund area,southern Sweden, were undertaken during the winters 1995/96, 1996/97 and1997/98 as a part of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) related to theestablishment of a Fixed Link (bridge–tunnel–artificial island) between Swedenand Denmark. Monitoring of the benthic fauna made it possible to compare thecalculated food requi

Cytogenetic studies over the past few decades have revealed clonal chromosomal aberrations in almost 27,000 human neoplasms. Many of these neoplasia-associated chromosomal abnormalities have been characterised at the molecular level, revealing previously unknown genes that are closely associated with the tumorigenic process. Information on chromosome changes in neoplasia is growing rapidly, making

Background: Glenohumeral osteoarthritis can, in the most severe cases, require surgery with insertion of a shoulder arthroplasty. A design with a stem in the humeral bone canal is currently regarded as the standard treatment option in patients who have an intact rotator cuff function, but complications related to the stem including humeral fractures can have devastating consequences. By using a st

Alpha1-microglobulin (alpha1m) is a small glycoprotein with immunomodulatory properties. It is a member of the lipocalin family, a group of proteins that exhibit a well-conserved three-dimensional structure despite low sequence identity and that are known to bind small hydrophobic ligands. The types of ligands carried by alpha1m are still unknown, but it is known that this protein has yellow-brown

Enzymes adsorbed or deposited on porous support materials have been succesfully used as catalysts in organic media. However, the support must be chosen with great care. The support can affect the partitioning of substrates, products and water in the reaction mixture and thereby indirectly influence the catalytic properties of the enzyme. Furthermore, the support can influence both the enzyme kinet

Measurements of the yield and nuclear modification factor, RAA, for inclusive jet production are performed using 0.49 nb−1 of Pb+Pb data at sNN=5.02TeV and 25 pb−1 of Pb+Pb data at s=5.02TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Jets are reconstructed with the anti-kt algorithm with radius parameter R=0.4 and are measured over the transverse momentum range of 40–1000 GeV in six rapidity intervals co

In the intestinal tract, there are enzymes that hydrolyze both endogenous and exogenous sphingolipids. The alkaline sphingomyelinases (SMase) of the gut and human bile have been most studied, and a major part of this chapter discusses these enzymes. It also discusses studies of ceramidase, glycosylceramidase, and the digestion of dietary sphingolipids. In the intestinal tract, a distinct enzyme th

Bacteria and fungi are the two principal decomposer groups in soils, determining rates of biogeochemical cycling. Rewetting of dry soils induces enormous dynamics in biogeochemistry. Bacteria have been shown to exhibit large variation in growth over time upon drying-rewetting (D/RW), however, in studies to date, fungal growth has shown limited responsiveness. Here we investigated whether fungal gr

ASHRAE Research Project RP-1760 aimed to update thedatabase of western clothing as used in ANSI/ASHRAE Stan-dard 55-2013, Thermal Environmental Conditions for HumanOccupancy (ASHRAE 2013a), ISO Standard 7730-2005,Ergonomics of the Thermal Environment—Analytical Deter-mination and Interpretation of Thermal Comfort Using Calcu-lation of the PMV and PPD Indices and Local ThermalComfort Criteria (ISO

Ecologists and evolutionary biologists are well aware that natural and sexual selection do not operate on traits in isolation, but instead act on combinations of traits. This long-recognized and pervasive phenomenon is known as multivariate selection, or—in the particular case where it favours correlations between interacting traits—correlational selection. Despite broad acknowledgement of correla

Fungi and bacteria are the two principal microbial groups in soil, responsible for the breakdown of organic matter (OM). The relative contribution of fungi and bacteria to decomposition is thought to impact biogeochemical cycling at the ecosystem scale, whereby bacterially dominated decomposition supports the fast turnover of easily available substrates, whereas fungal-dominated decomposition lead

This article shows that women’s formal political citizenship is intertwined with the right to the city. Using Carol Bacchi’s ‘What’s the Problem Represented to be’ approach, we study how female municipal councillors argued for more public toilets in Sweden's three largest cities. In their motions, the lack of public conveniences was mainly related to a binary discourse of gender, and arguments ref
