Hypothermia may contribute to vascular spasm during bypass surgery. The effect of cooling on the reactivity of the human coronary artery (CA), saphenous vein (SV) and internal mammary artery (IMA) was studied in vitro. In CA and IMA cooling diminished the resting tension and the contraction to potassium, noradrenaline and 5-hydroxytryptamine. In contrast, in SV the contraction to noradrenaline and
The influence of external precipitating factors and the presence of peripheral neuropathy on the development and outcome of foot ulcers were evaluated in 314 consecutive diabetic patients. All patients were treated by the same foot care team. Each patient was represented by one ulcer, and primary healing was defined as intact skin for at least six months. External precipitating factors were identi
Results from a Monte Carlo investigation are presented for the application of the dual photopeak window (DPW) scatter correction method to phantom geometries of varying shapes, sizes, and densities as well as to several collimators. A Monte Carlo program was used to simulate a Tc-99m point source at locations of 0.5 cm from the phantom surface, at the center, 0.5 cm from the bottom, and 4/5 the di
Objective. We sought to measure the bone mineral density (BMD) of various regions in the maxilla before implant treatment and to investigate correlations between these values and the BMDs of the spine and hip. Study design. Eighteen patients were examined by means of quantitative computed tomography, and the BMD of the maxillary alveolar ridge was calculated. The same patients also underwent dual-
In 2000, the African Growth and Opportunity Act was signed into law in the United States, and is at present set to last until 2015. The act aimed at helping the Sub-Saharan African countries develop “through trade, not aid”. This essay studies the effect of the act on diversification of goods exported from these African countries to the United States. By analysing trade data for the period 1997-20
This thesis focuses on flexible work, known as telework, that is done through the use of information communication technology (ICT) devices in the entertainment, new media and arts sector. Fieldwork was conducted with independent professionals who work either as a producer / director, editor or motion graphic artist for the entertainment, new media and arts sector in the Los Angeles area. When wo
Hanöbukten och dess invånare Vattenkvaliteten i Hanöbukten har försämrats de senaste åren. Detta är ett aktuellt ämne som berör alla buktens invånare, land- som vattenlevande. Regeringen har nyligen insett allvaret i situationen och har delegera till Havs- och vattenmyndigheten att göra en större utredning för att gå till botten med problemet. Fågeldöd, sjuk och mager fiskar samt minskade fångste
The composition of the microbial community in the rhizosphere was investigated using three different techniques: direct soil-phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA), cfu-PLFA (using culturable, bacteria only) and community-level physiological profiles (CLPP) using Biolog GN microtitre plates. All three techniques showed that the rhizosphere bacterial community differed from the bulk soil community, when pe
Flaxseed has recently gained attention as a functional food, and the effect of adding flaxseed (10%, 15%, and 20%) to tortillas was evaluated. The physicochemical characteristics and the free fatty-acid (FFA) content of the oil extracted from flaxseed-added corn tortilla were determined. The results showed that the lipid (4.27%) and protein content (9.10%) of the control sample was statistically l
This letter presents a wideband cross-slot antenna (CSA) with inductor loadings for dual polarization. The effects of the ground size on the impedance are investigated. To achieve a compact size, a very small ground having the same hypotenuse length as the slot is used. The inductor loadings are used at both ends of the slot to reduce the size further. Simulated results show that the loaded induct
“The voice of unheard: Chai Khana and the importance of independent media in encouraging diversity and inclusion” is a master thesis focusing on the case study of Chai Khana, an independent media platform located in the South Caucasus and covering the gender-related stories from the region, and how it represents the voices of gender oppression and marginalisation. Through adopting a methods triang
The fashion industry is one of the largest industries in the world, a multibillion dollar industry on the manufacturing and selling of clothes. With the rise of social media and digitalization of fashion, meaning that brands are carrying over to digital means of showcasing their products like social media, fashion trends have never been more accessible to the general market than ever. However, the
Prefetching is a well known concept for CPUs but for GPUs it is fairly unexplored. The memory management of a GPU plays a crucial role in its performance, and cache prefetching has the potential to lower the overall latency. This thesis compares different types of prefetching methods for GPUs and remaking some CPU prefetchers to fit the GPU architecture. All these prefetchers were then put inside
In increasingly turbulent environments, intrapreneurship has proven to be a crucial factor for established companies’ success and survival, showing a positive impact on innovation and organizational performance. Despite the strong importance that current research attaches to entrepreneurial employees in existing corporations, there remains a very limited understanding of their decision-making. The
