Neurogenin 2 (Ngn2) is a proneural gene involved in neuronal differentiation and subtype specification in various regions of the nervous system. In the ventral midbrain, Ngn2 is expressed in a spatiotemporal pattern that correlates with the generation of mesencephalic dopaminergic (mesDA) neurons. We show here that lack of Ngn2 impairs the development of mesDA neurons, such that less than half of

During recent years, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) as a powerful tool have had a tremendous impact on research techniques in the realm of geography and spatial analysis. The integrative ability of GIS to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and finally present all types of geographical spatial data, has drawn many attentions to it. Water Resources Engineering as a interdisciplinary

Background. NT-proBNP may be useful for ruling out heart failure in primary health care. In this study we examined the analytical quality of NT-proBNP in primary health care on the Cobas h 232 point-of-care instrument compared with measurements performed in a hospital laboratory. Materials and methods. Blood samples requested for NT-proBNP were collected in primary health care (n = 95) and in a ho

Context: The questions of how many individuals and how much time to use for a single testing task are critical in software verification and validation. In software review and usability evaluation contexts, positive effects of using multiple individuals for a task have been found, but software testing has not been studied from this viewpoint. Objective: We study how adding individuals and imposing

Popular Abstract in Swedish I avhandlingen redovisas undersökningar av näringsdynamiken hos fem olika lövträdsarter (ask, björk, bok, ek och lind) vilka jämförs med gran, som är ett mycket undersökt trädslag ur närings-synvinkel. Målsättningen med studierna var att klargöra de olika trädslagens näringstillstånd under likartade förhållanden, deras inverkan på och samspel med marken, samt deras näriThis thesis considers several important aspects of nutrient dynamics and allocation in adult stands of Swedish forest tree species (Quercus robur L., Tilia cordata Mill., Fraxinus excelsior L., Betula pendula Roth., Fagus sylvatica L. and Picea abies (L.) Karst) planted on the same soils. Differences between species in macro- (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S), and micro- (B, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn) nutrient levels in

Pulsar binaries are important targets for ground-based and future space-borne gravitational-wave (GW) detectors. In order for improving detector design and assessing detector performances, it is a prerequisite to understand the astrophysics of GW sources such as the population size or merger rates. Here, we summarize recent results for Galactic merger rates of two known types of pulsar binaries: (

Normalt sett föreställer man sig att det finns ett samband mellan ord och handling. Det skulle betyda att människor som säger sig vara miljöengagerade också tar miljöhänsyn i vardagslivets handlingar. Man kan emellertid konstatera att vägen från ord till handling är kantad av många slags överväganden som leder till skillnader mellan det man säger sig tycka och vad man sedan gör. Mellan attityd och
