Hydrogels are a hydrophilic network of polymers (usually cross-linked polysaccharides) that are natural or synthetic. Applications of hydrogels are many in the biomedical field. Because of the high water absorption (10 to 200 grams of water per gram of hydrogel), hydrogels have a high degree of flexibility similar to natural human tissue. Human cells can be incorporated into the hydrogel, which in

Galactoglucomannans (GGM) can be used as a precursor for the production of surfactants, plastics, hydrogels etc. However, separation of galactoglucomannan (GGM) from lignin and lignin-carbohydrate-complexes using membrane filtration is difficult. Precipitation of GGM with anti-solvents is an approach that has been previously studied. A membrane filtration step prior to precipitation is economicall

Morphology represents a hitherto unexploited source of specificity in microfluidic particle separation and may serve as the basis for label-free particle fractionation. There is a wealth of morphological changes in blood cells due to a wide range of clinical conditions, diseases, medication and other factors. Also, blood-borne parasites differ in morphology from blood cells. We present the use of

Rhetoric is a teaching tradition. The rhetorical exercises in the progymnasmata are the foundation for the teaching culture of rhetoric. The exercises combine theory and practice, but the surviving texts by Hermogenes, Aphthonius and Nicolaus do not tell us how the exercises were used in teaching. In the preface to Theon’s progymnasmata 1.61-64 he gives a short description of his pedagogical meth

We show that recent robust adaptive beamformers, based on reconstructing either the noise-plus-interference or the data covariance matrices, are sensitive to the noise-plus- interference structure and degrade in the typical case when interferer steering vector mismatch exists, often performing much worse than common diagonally loaded sample covariance matrix based approaches, even when signal-of-i

The development of a predictive control algorithm for glycaemia regulation in diabetic subjects requires patient-specific models of the glucose metabolism which are physiologically relevant, parsimonious, yet able to accurately forecast blood glucose. Given the measured data: total plasma insulin [mIU/L]; plasma glucose [mg/dL]; plasma glucose rate of appearance after intestinal absorption [mg/kg

Popular Abstract in Swedish Kassava är ett stärkelserikt livsmedel, jämförbart med potatis. Det produceras främst i jordens tropiska regionerna och är ett viktigt livsmedel i Afrika söder om Sahara. Kassava har stora fördelar som gröda eftersom avkastningen är hög, den har god motståndskraft mot sjukdomar, den växer även på mager jord och den är motståndskraftig mot torka. Emellertid, kassava har Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is an important and cheap source of carbohydrate in tropical regions, particularly in Sub-Sahara Africa. Cassava as a human food is a good source of energy as it has a comparable high energy density of about 610 kJ/100 g fresh root. The crop has growth advantages and production can take place in soil where other crops such as maize, sorghum and sweet potatoes can
