Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of the supporting structures of the teeth caused by, among other pathogens, Prevotella intermedia. Many strains of P. intermedia are resistant to killing by the human complement system, which is present at up to 70% of serum concentration in gingival crevicular fluid. Incubation of human serum with recombinant cysteine protease of P. intermedia (interpain A

Abstract in UndeterminedThis paper presents a low-complexity, highthroughput,and configurable multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) signal detector design solution targeting the emergingLong-Term-Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) downlink. The detectorsupports signal detection of multiple MIMO modes, whichare spatial-multiplexing (SM), spatial-diversity (SD), and spacedivision-multiple-access (SDMA). Area

Multiple Sclerosis (MS), is a neurologic, autoimmune disease characterized by CNS immune cell infiltration and demyelination. To experimentally study MS, we have utilized the mouse model Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (EAE). EAE is induced through immunization with myelin antigens, which elicits an autoreactive Th1 cell response. Encephalitogenic T cells migrate into the CNS where they

Bronchoconstriction is a hallmark in respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Current therapies use bronchodilating agents in order to control the exacerbations produced by limited airflow and improve the quality of life of patients suffering from these diseases. Capsazepine, a compound derived from the active principle of hot pepper (Capsicum annuum),

Popular Abstract in Swedish FISKETS EFFEKTER BEROR PÅ SAMSPELET MELLAN ARTER Fiske och jakt, så kallad populationsbeskattning, påverkar den fiskade eller jagade populationen på en rad olika sätt. Den direkta effekten är uppenbar: dödligheten ökar, och antalet individer i populationen minskar. I förlängningen påverkar denna minskning också andra arter, som t ex äter eller äts av individerna i den bHarvesting changes population abundance and can affect adaptation of several life-history traits. Harvesting can also have indirect effects ? effects on non-target species and secondary effects on target species ? because interactions between species in a community determine the relevant ecological and evolutionary feedback environment. Species interactions therefore influence the effect of harves

Insulin replacement therapy is considered the only effective and feasible treatment for type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) as only insulin is capable of reversing the metabolic disturbances and restoring a near - normal quality of life in patients with T1DM. Despite rigorous measures and major advances in health care provided for patients with T1DM, increased morbidity and mortality are still common

Popular Abstract in Swedish Summary in swedish I en rad olika inflammatoriska sjukdomar såsom astma, reumatoid artrit och parodontit är makrofager involverade. Makrofager är vita blodkroppar som finns i kroppens olika vävnader. De reagerar på främmande partiklar, t ex bakterier, och bekämpar dessa genom att ”dels äta upp” främmande partiklar, sk fagocytos, och dels genom att utsöndra olika substa

GIS competence is increasing and GIS applications are nowadays used in nearly every area of society. In the perspectives of lifelong learning the needs for GIS knowledge vary widely among target groups depending on previous knowledge, interests, profession, language, age, ability, economic resources and employability. GIS allows us to view, understand, interpret, request, and visualize data in man

Law and its countless legal, academic, professional and institutional manifestations, all being intrinsically social, fall within the scope of sociological inquiry. It is, therefore, not surprising if some sociologists and jurists have tried to bring the benefits of sociological ideas to legal thought and practice. Introducing sociological insights into law, a feasible and useful project in theory

The E4SD (Energy for Sustainable Development) Online Course is a joint initiative led by the International Institute for Industrial Environmental Economics (IIIEE) at Lund University, Sweden with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and the Global Network on Energy for Sustainable Development (GNESD) as partners. The overall objective of

Popular Abstract in Swedish Människan har under mycket lång tid använt enzymer vid tillverkning av livsmedel, bland annat vid syrning av mjölk, jäsning av bröd och bryggning av öl och vin. Man använde sig då av hela levande organismer och först på slutet av 1800-talet kunde den aktiva substansen isoleras. Dessa aktiva substanser fick samlingsnamnet enzym, vilket kommer från grekiska och betyder "iThe influence of different reaction parameters on enzyme selectivity was investigated. The reaction conditions studied were solvent dependence, water activity and reaction temperature. The improved selectivity was observed as higher synthetic yields in a-chymotrypsin and subtilisin catalyzed peptide synthesis respectively, and as higher enantioselectivity in the asymmetric reduction of ketones cat

A virtual reality (VR) experiment with 96 participants was carried out in a Cave Automatic Virtual Environment (CAVE) laboratory at Lund University to provide recommendations on the design of flashing lights at emergency exit portals for road tunnel emergency evacuation. A set of variables were investigated, namely 1) Colour of flashing lights, 2) Flashing rate, 3) The type of light source, 4) The

Popular Abstract in Swedish Implementeringen av dotter/moderbolagsdirektivet av den 23 juli 1990. Jämförelse mellan olika nationella lagstiftningar som implementerat direktivetAt the crossing between Community law and international tax law, this thesis analyses and compares the Member States' legislation implementing the Parent/Subsidiary Directive of 23 July 1990. Of special interest, the different levels of compliance towards Community law have been proved to be the major obstacle to the harmonisation’s process underlying in the Directive. The procedural differences d

Popular Abstract in Swedish Det finns en rad situationer då celler, företrädesvis nervceller, i hjärnan dör till följd av en kraftigt begränsad eller helt förhindrad blodtillförsel sk. ischemi. Till dessa hör "Stroke" eller slaganfall. Skallskada, drunkningsolyckor eller hjärtstopp med återupplivning, och hypoglykemi vid insulinkoma är ytterligare några fall där energi- eller syrgastillförseln är
