We present the results of 3D high-resolution calculations of the last inspiral stages and the final coalescence of neutron star binary systems. The equations of hydrodynamics are solved using the smoothed particle hydrodynamics method with up to 106 particles. Using Newtonian gravity, but adding the forces emerging from the emission of gravitational waves, we focus on the impact of microphysics on

High-grade gliomas are one of the most aggressive human tumors with <1% of patients surviving 5 years after surgery. Immunotherapy could offer a possibility to eradicate remnant tumor cells after conventional therapy. Experimental immunotherapy can induce partial cure of established intracerebral tumors in several rodent models. One reason for the limited therapeutic effects could be immunosuppres

Landfilling is the most commonly used method for solid waste disposal in Jordan. It is an important source of pollution, which can be displayed through analysis of data for climatic conditions, hydrology and geology of the country. The migration of gas and leachate from the landfill body into the surrounding environment present a serious environmental concern, which include groundwater pollution,

The identification of serum biomarkers for the diagnosis of inflammatory bowel diseases able to reduce the need for invasive tests represents a major goal in their therapy and follow-up. We report here a methodological approach for the evaluation of specific changes in the serum peptides abundance in healthy (H) and Crohn's disease (CD) subjects, based on a label-free LC ESI/Q-TOF differential mas

A diminished capacity to maintain tissue homeostasis is a central physiological characteristic of ageing. As stem cells regulate tissue homeostasis, depletion of stem cell reserves and/or diminished stem cell function have been postulated to contribute to ageing. It has further been suggested that accumulated DNA damage could be a principal mechanism underlying age-dependent stem cell decline. We

This paper studied associations between ocular symptoms, rhinitis, throat and dermal symptoms, headache and fatigue in students by ethnicity and in relation to exposure to chemical microbial markers and fungal DNA in vacuumed dust in schools in Malaysia. A total of 462 students from 8 randomly selected secondary schools in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, participated (96% response rate). Dust was vacuumed

The intestinal mucosa represents the largest body surface toward the external environment and harbors numerous T lymphocytes that take up resident within the intestinal epithelium or in the underlying lamina propria (LP). The intraepithelial lymphocytes include subsets of 'unconventional' T cells with unclear ontogeny and reactivity that localize to this site independently of antigen-specific acti

The present thesis, adopting the ecology of language as its conceptual orientation as well as employing linguistic landscape as its methodological tool to collect and analyze data, firstly aims at investigating (1) how the four official languages of Singapore namely Malay, (Mandarin) Chinese, Tamil, and English have been deployed on signs by three different social actors, i.e., the Singaporean gov

This study focuses on the part of the policy process called implementation. Theorists like Lipsky (1980) and Rice (2012) assign the street-level bureaucrats a major role in this process. The street-level bureaucrats of object in this study are personnel on group homes for unaccompanied minors. Since the children do not have anyone else to look after them, it is the welfare states responsibility to

This essay examines the working-class representation in the Swedish Social Democratic party´s parliament group, during the following parliament periods: 1982-1985, 1994-1998 and 2006-2010. The study is based on the detailed biographical compilations about the members of the parliament, which the Swedish parliament has released since 1982. The results of my research show that the number of working-

The exclusion problem has been a longstanding problem for the property dualist. The Compatibilist solution is to deny overdetermination, and thus they say we may preserve both mental and physical efficacy. However, in my paper I wish to show why the Compatibilist solution has not secured a materialist position. She has not established how supervenient properties are grounded in physicalism.

Uppsatsen analyserar två nya svenska filmer: Återträffen (2013) och Nånting måste gå sönder (2014). Hur förhåller sig de kvinnliga huvudkaraktärerna i respektive film till de patriarkala konventioner, som Laura Mulvey beskrev för nästan 40 år sedan? Med utgångspunkt i Mulveys teorier och kompletterat av såväl amerikanska som svenska film- och genusforskare, diskuteras karaktärernas framställning, This essay analyzes two new Swedish movies: The Reunion (Återträffen, 2013) and Something Must Break (Nånting måste gå sönder, 2014). How do the female leading characters in these movies relate to the patriarchal conventions described by Laura Mulvey nearly 40 years ago? Based on Mulveys theories, and supplemented by american as well as swedish scholars, the depiction, hierarchy and object/subject

The paper investigates the mean and volatility spillover effects from U.S and EU stock markets as well as oil price market into national stock markets of eight European countries. The study finds strong indication of volatility spillover effects from global US, regional EU, and world factor oil towards individual stock markets. While both mean and volatility spillover transmissions from the U.S ar

After 9/11 2001, the U.S. government proclaimed war on terror. In the purpose to prohibit future attacks on the U.S. and their civilian a secret work started at the Office of Legal Councile to define and guideline actions in the war of terror. The first memorandum is named The Bybee Torture Memo and started up an extensive activity to legitimize the use of torture against terror suspected. From se

Prior articles and reports have named Credit Default Swap (CDS) spreads as a plausible indicator of default risk. In this report, the authors present a significant correlation between CDS spreads and two other more acknowledged methods of measuring default risk probabilities; the modified Merton model and credit ratings from the rating institute Moody’s. The tests are implemented by Spearman’s ran

Att marknadsandelarna är av betydelse för dominansbedömningen är välkänt inom konkurrensrätten. Frågorna är snarare vilken och hur stor betydelse marknadsandelarna har för bedömningen och utgången i ett specifikt fall i förhållande till övriga faktorer. Frågan uppmärksammades redan i United Brands varför också domen har kommit att verka som prejudicerande rättspraxis för flertalet senarkommande do

The mean and volatility spillover effects from the US and the aggregate European stock markets into individual Scandinavian equity markets are investigated by applying an EGARCH volatility-spillover model. Both the mean and volatility spillover effects from the US market are found to be significant. The European mean-spillover effects are small, negligible, and insignificant whereas the EU volatil

In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), conflict-related sexual violence is widespread. The United Nations has made several efforts in combating this violence, for example adopting the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1820 from 2008. An interesting question is if these resolutions, which can be seen as a manifestation of an international norm that condemns sexual violence, can affect
