Predicted responses of transpiration to elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration (eCO2) are highly variable amongst process-based models. To better understand and constrain this variability amongst models, we conducted an intercomparison of 11 ecosystem models applied to data from two forest free-air CO2 enrichment (FACE) experiments at Duke University and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. We analysed
BACKGROUND: It is controversial whether breast reconstruction with a microvascular free flap should be done without restrictions in patients who have not had radiotherapy. Many regard it as too expensive, but some consider it better and more economically advantageous than an implant reconstruction. METHODS: Databases of publications were searched to find out under what conditions is it suitable to
Background. Over five billion people worldwide lack access to safe and affordable surgery and anesthesia care when required. There is a critical unmet need for surgical care, especially in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). The shortage of surgical providers is one of the most influential barriers to receiving surgical care, and the maldistribution is aggravated by doctors emigrating
Oats (Avena sativa) are a versatile cereal crop cultivated worldwide. Accounting for 2% of global grain production, they rank as the seventh most important cereal. Approximately 23 million tonnes of oat grain is produced annually, with the majority stemming from spring-sown cultivars in Canada, Russia, and Northern Europe. Although used mostly for animal feed, oats have increased in their populariOats (Avena sativa) is a versatile crop grown worldwide for animal feed and human consumption. Humanoat consumption has recently risen due to its various health benefits. However, oats are susceptible toFusarium head blight (FHB) caused by various Fusarium fungi. FHB reduces yield and leads to mycotoxinaccumulation. The most commonly reported mycotoxins in oat are trichothecenes deoxynivalenol (DO
Plasma levels of the neuropeptides, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP, neuropeptide Y (NPY), calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), substance P, and galanin were determined in 15 hyperthyroid patients before and at 3 occassions during 38 weeks of treatment. Treatment was performed with either 131I alone or with carbimazole, with combination of carbimazole and thyroxine, or with subtotal thyr
Studies on mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) emphasize that patients with progression of disease (POD) ≤24 months have inferior prognosis compared to patients with later POD. This population-based study assessed the impact of POD on overall survival (OS) by timing of progression and first-line treatment. A total of 1186 MCL patients diagnosed 2006–2018 were identified in the Swedish lymphoma register. PO
Electrical field stimulation (EFS) of the rabbit urethral lamina propria elicited a frequency‐dependent non‐adrenergic, non‐cholinergic (NANC) relaxation, which was abolished by NΩ–nitro‐L‐arginine (l‐NOARG). Ω‐Conotoxin GVIA, a selective blocker of N‐type voltage‐operated calcium channels (VOCCs), and Ω‐conotoxin MVIIC (blocker of N‐ and Q‐type VOCCs) inhibited the NANC relaxation, and the inhibi
BACKGROUND: Limited evidence exists to guide the management of patients with liver metastases from squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The aim of this retrospective multicentre cohort study was to describe patterns of disease recurrence after liver resection/ablation for SCC liver metastases and factors associated with recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS). METHOD: Members of the Eur
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, often aggressive type of B-cell lymphoma with poor survival and no cure. Cancer and cancer treatment has a negative impact on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) both during active disease and in the long term, and improvement of HRQOL is a crucial objective of cancer therapy in older patients and no curative intent. Baseline HRQOL has in other lymphoma pop
As part of the Large Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiment in Amazonia - Smoke, Aerosols, Clouds, Rainfall and Climate (LBA-SMOCC) campaign, detailed surface and airborne aerosol measurements were performed over the Amazon Basin during the dry to wet season from 16 September to 14 November 2002. Optical and physical properties of aerosols at the surface, and in the boundary layer (BL) and free tro
Genom en reform år 1989 infördes de nuvarande reglerna om straffmätning och påföljdsbestämning i 29 och 30 kap. brottsbalken. Enligt 29 kap. 1 § brottsbalken ska straff bestämmas inom ramen för den tillämpliga straffskalan, utifrån brottet eller den samlade brottslighetens straffvärde. En grundläggande tanke med reformen var att den skulle främja förutsebarhet och enhetlighet i rättstillämpningen.
What does the EU’s emerging outbound review architecture reveal about the future limits of Article 63 TFEU in third-country capital relations? This thesis argues that the outbound investment screening agenda of EU is best understood as a constitutional stress test for external dimension of the Article 63 TFEU. While the potential outbound screening framework still relies on a soft-law review and r
This master thesis project was completed in partnership with Lantmännen, known for producing Gluten Free (GF) PromOat®—a concentrated oat β glucan powder. The main aim of the thesis was to explore the properties of emulsions containing GF PromOat® oat β-glucan. It specifically focuses on the critical overlap concentration, viscosity, and stability before and after high-pressure homogenization
Blue straggler stars (BSSs) are exotic stellar objects that appear to be younger than the age of the population they come from suggests. They are observed as the extension of the main sequence stars, beyond the turn-off point. They are present in all types of stellar populations, such as open clusters, globular clusters, dwarf galaxies, and even in the open field. It is believed that they form mai
Introduction: Cardiotomy suction blood is used in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery to maintain blood volume in the CPB system, although it is known to contain micro emboli, cytokines and free plasma hemoglobin. Our aim was to investigate whether cell saver washing the cardiotomy suction blood before re-transfusing it is safe. Methods: This is a retrospective study of 1671 elective coronary art
Myxofibrosarcoma (MFS) and undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) are two common and aggressive subtypes of soft tissue sarcoma. The aim of this study was to assess potential transcriptomic differences between MFS and UPS tumours and to evaluate the extent to which differences in gene expression profiles were associated with genomic and clinical features. The study included 162 patients with t
