Thumbelina is one of Hans Christian Andersen´s most well-known tales, found worldwide in a wealth of translations and many illustrative versions, featuring not only in printed forms but also as children´s theatre, animated films and – in the bicentenary year of 2005 – also as a ballet with scenography and costume by Her Majesty Margrethe II, Queen of Denmark. In Odense, Andersen´s native city, the

Assessment of the fire behaviour of sandwich panels is continuously under discussion. The fire behaviour of these panels is a combination of material characteristics such as the core material and mechanical behaviour of the panels such as joints, dilations etc. The use of small or intermediate scale tests can be questioned for such types of products. Within the proposed European product standard

Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli produce an attaching and effacing lesion upon adhering to the intestinal epithelium. Bacterial factors involved in this histopathology include the intimin adhesin and E. coli secreted proteins (Esps) A and B. In this study we investigated the serum antibody responses to recombinant E. coli O157:H7 intimin, EspA, and EspB by immuno-blotting. Canadian patients with

Deoxyuridine 5'-triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase (dUTPase, E.C. 3.6.1.23) catalyzes the hydrolysis of dUTP to dUMP and pyrophosphate and is involved in nucleotide metabolism and DNA synthesis. A crystal of the recombinant E. coli enzyme, precipitated from polyethylene glycol mixtures in the presence of succinate at pH 4.2, was used to collect synchrotron diffraction data to 1.9 Å resolution, in sp

Disorders of the central nervous system are a major concern in modern human societies. Studies of these disorders require the use of suitable model systems that accurately reproduce the human situation. In this article we focus on the possibilities of using the human NT-2 teratocarcinoma cell line for studies on neuronal differentiation, cellular function and neurodegeneration. Neurons generated f

When formulating a policy related to food in a heterogeneous context within a nation or between nations, oppositional positions are more or less explicit, but always have to be overcome. It is interesting to note, though, that such elements as culture and religion have seldom been the focus in discussions about methods of decision-making in food policy. To handle discrepancies between oppositional

Emergence of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) populations that switch or broaden coreceptor usage from CCR5 to CXCR4 is intimately coupled to CD4(+) cell depletion and disease progression toward AIDS. To better understand the molecular mechanisms involved in the coreceptor switch, we determined the nucleotide sequences of 253 V1 to V3 env clones from 27 sequential HIV-1 subtype B isolat

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vid diabetes råder en oförmåga att hålla nere blodsockret, i synnerhet efter en måltid. Under normala förhållanden orsakar en höjning av blodsockret att insulinfrisättningen stimuleras. Insulin ökar upptaget av glukos i vävnaderna i kroppen, vilket sänker blodsockret. Under vissa förhållanden, såsom fetma, minskar effekten av insulin, ett fenomen som även kallas insulinThe parasympathetic nerves are important for the regulation of insulin secretion, in particular after meal intake. Apart from acetylcholine, several neuropeptides can be found in the parasympathetic nerves innervating the islets of Langerhans, including gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) and pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP). Exogenous administration of either GRP or PACAP ha

The focal company in this study is establishing a partnership style of’ relationships with a few selected suppliers. The article focuses on the driving forces behind such an initiative. It attempts to answer the questions why this company is trying to develop a closer working relationship with one of the selected suppliers, the supplier of corrugated board. The purpose of the article is thus to an

Mira is the perfect purity where the demonic of the master mason has no access. The craftsman’s wife is the embodiment of innocence, the heavenly depiction of mankind as opposed to demonic Manole. “Serenity” and “light” are words that repeatedly occur in her monologue thus suggesting the plenitudine of being she is about to conceive when she would be raising into the light her perfect precious, th
