Popular Abstract in Swedish Målsättningen i denna avhandling är att identifiera funktionen hos COMP (Cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein). Detta protein finns framförallt i brosk och sena. Dessa vävnader tillhör bindväven och har till funktion att ta upp och fördela belastning, utgöra ett skydd och förmedla transport av olika ämnen. De är uppbyggda av ett fåtal celler inbäddade i en dominerande exConnective tissues contain a prominent extracellular matrix that provides mechanical and physical properties. This extracellular matrix contains as a major constituent a network of collagen fibres. These are composed of collagen fibrils, which in turn are assembled from many collagen molecules aligned parallel to each other. Several proteins, e.g. collagens, leucine-rich repeat proteins and thromb

When performing adaptive optics (AO) correction for the effect of atmospheric fluctuations, different effects, related to measuring the wavefront at one wavelength and observing at another one, may show up. Some of these effects are related to the dispersive properties of the atmosphere. Others are related to diffraction, both regarding light propagation through the turbulent atmosphere to the ent

The evaporative gas turbine (EvGT), also known as the humid air turbine (HAT) cycle, is a novel advanced gas turbine cycle that has attracted considerable interest for the last decade. This high-efficiency cycle shows the potential to be competitive with Diesel engines or combined cycles in small and intermediate scale plants for power production and/or cogeneration. A 0.6 MW natural gas-fired EvG

BACKGROUND: To investigate, in a rabbit model, the effect of two different doses of vigabatrin (VGB) on retinal function and morphology. METHODS: Twenty-nine rabbits of mixed strain were divided into two groups, receiving either high-dose (n = 15) or low-dose (n = 14) oral VGB treatment (cumulative dose 29.8 +/- 2.9 g and 14.2 +/- 0.6 g respectively). Ten rabbits receiving water served as control

Under många år har konsumenttidningen Råd & Rön haft stort inflytande på de svenska konsumenterna och deras konsumtion. Under närmare 50 år ägdes tidningen av Konsumentverket och dess föregångare Statens institut för konsumentfrågor. Genom studier av Råd & Röns årgångar, konsumentmyndigheternas arkiv samt riksdagstrycket står det tydligt att politiker och konsumentmyndigheter haft stort in

Our aim was to analyze retinal structure in young patients with Best disease with reference to future gene therapy. This was a retrospective observational spectral domain optical coherence tomography study of four patients aged 10 years or less with Best disease. Findings ranged from subtle thickening at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium-photoreceptor interdigitation line, to subretinal

Popular Abstract in Swedish På de allra flesta arbetsplatser utsätts arbetstagarna för risker, och de kemiska hälsoriskerna utgör en omfattande del av dessa. Till exempel är det många som får astma orsakad av exponeringar i arbetsmiljön. En vanlig orsak till yrkesrelaterade luftvägsbesvär är exponering för isocyanater. Isocyanater är små reaktiva (instabila) ämnen som används i polymerindustrin föExposure to isocyanates may induce disorders in the airways of workers. Therefore, application, development and validation of methods for exposure assessment is of great importance. In the present study, we have determined the personal air and biomarker levels of isocyanates for a group of occupationally exposed workers (n=170) in different types of industrial processes. Also, the biomarker levels

Pre-treatment of sludge before anaerobic digestion can increase methane production and degradation of organic matter. There are various pre-treatment methods for this purpose. Anaerobic digestion tests were performed for comparison of three pre-treatment methods (hygienisation, ultrasonic treatment and enzyme dosing) used separately or in combination on biosludge and mixed sludge. COD solubilisati
