The increased demand for clean power in recent years has led to the development of various processes that include different types of CO2 capture. Several options are possible: pre-combustion concepts (fuel de-carbonization and subsequent combustion of H2), post-combustion concepts (tail-end CO2 capture solutions, such as amine scrubbing), and integrated concepts in which combustion is carried out

The early B cell factor (EBF) is a transcription factor shown crucial for the development of B lymphocytes. The protein is expressed from the earliest stages of B cell development until the mature B cell stage, but the control elements responsible for the regulation of the gene are unknown. In this study, we report of the identification of a promoter region flanking the EBF gene. Several transcrip

Thermal adaptation of gross primary production and ecosystem respiration has been well documented over broad thermal gradients. However, no study has examined their interaction as a function of temperature, i.e. the thermal responses of net ecosystem exchange of carbon (NEE). In this study, we constructed temperature response curves of NEE against temperature using 380 site-years of eddy covarianc

Objective To characterise the performance of beta -cell during a standard oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Design Fifty-six subjects were studied. A minimal analogic model of beta -cell secretion during the OGTT was applied to all OGTTs (see below). The amount of insulin secreted over 120' in response to oral glucose (OGTT-ISR; Insulin Units 120'(-1) m(-2) BSA) and an index of beta -cell secret

Objective: To develop calculation models, using Western immunoblot, as a tool for the estimation of proteolytic human aggrecan fragment identity. Method. Seven human aggrecan fragments (calibrators), purified by CsCl gradient centrifugation and identified by Western immunoblot of N- and C-terminals, were used to develop calculation models. The models were used for identification of unknown aggreca

The brain is the exclusive or almost exclusive site of formation of 24S-hydroxycholesterol and we have shown that the circulating level of 24S-hydroxycholesterol is dependent upon the relation between cerebral production and hepatic clearance. In the present work we determined plasma levels of 24S-hydroxycholesterol in patients with various neurological diseases. Eleven subjects with brain death o

Myrosinase isoenzymes are known to be encoded by two different families of genes denoted MA and MB. Nucleotide sequence analysis of a Brassica napus genomic clone containing a gene for myrosinase revealed it to be a pseudogene of the MA family. The gene spans more than 5 kb and contains at least 12 exons. The exon sequence of the gene is highly similar to myrosinase cDNA sequences. However, the ge

Diversity between metastatic melanoma tumours in individual patients is known; however, the molecular and genetic differences remain unclear. To examine the molecular and genetic differences between metastatic tumours, we performed gene-expression profiling of 63 melanoma tumours obtained from 28 patients (two or three tumours/patient), followed by analysis of their mutational landscape, using tar

The transcriptional enhancer region in intron 1 of the proto-oncogene MDM2 contains a polymorphic site (SNP309) that may harbor a G or a T nucleotide. Previous studies have shown that the G allele confers a higher affinity for the Sp1 transcription factor, resulting in an increased transcriptional activity of MDM2. A constitutional G allele has also been associated with earlier onset of various ca

We have screened 17 Southern Sweden individuals/families with suspected hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) for mutations in the DNA-mismatch repair genes hMLH1, hMSH2 and hMSH6 using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis, protein truncation test and direct DNA sequencing. The families were selected on the basis of a family history of HNPCC-related tumors or the occurrence of meta

A comparative study was performed to reveal differences and relative figures of merit of seven different calculation algorithms for photon beams when applied to inhomogeneous media. The following algorithms were investigated: Varian Eclipse: the anisotropic analytical algorithm, and the pencil beam with modified Batho correction; Nucletron Helax-TMS: the collapsed cone and the pencil beam with equ

The potential of a nucleic acid-based optical bioprobe for environmental measurements and drug monitoring is described. The sensor employs the long-wavelength intercalating fluorophore TO-PRO-3 (TP3). Compounds that interact with the TP3-DNA complex are indirectly detected by a decrease in the fluorescence intensity. We found that the configuration and length of the DNA dramatically affected the i

Syftet med förevarande uppsats är att belysa umgängessabotage och dess eventuella konsekvenser. Närmare bestämt avses att undersöka hur ett eventuellt umgängessabotage påverkar tingsrätten i sin bedömning när den har att ta ställning till vad som innebär barnets bästa (se föräldrabalken 6 kap. 2 a §). Umgängesrätten har utvecklats från att vara en rättighet avsedd för den förälder som utan grund hThe purpose of this essay is to highlight the consequences of the situation where one parent without acceptable cause refuses the other parent’s right of access with their child, hereinafter called ‘access sabotage’. The purpose is more specifically to investigate how the situation of access sabotage is affecting the district court in its assessment when it has to consider what outcome will be in

Brotten vållande till kroppsskada eller sjukdom, förtal, förolämpning och egenmäktighet med barn är alla brott mot person för vilka de brottsutredande myndigheterna enbart får fatta lagföringsbeslut om åtal kan anses påkallat ur allmän synpunkt.

The degree project has been carried out at the department of Industrial Electrical Engineering and Automation, at Lund University, in cooperation with Haldex Traction AB. Haldex manufactures four wheel drive couplings, HLSCi, for the automotive industry. To make sure the couplings meets the high requirements and expectations from the customer, standard tests are constantly being carried out. This

Sammanfattning Aktiv eutanasi och assisterat självmord är två frågor som tidvis dyker upp i den allmänna debatten i Sverige. Det är dock få politiker som vill ta i frågan, detta trots att en betydande del av det svenska folket är positivt inställda till att tillåta aktiv eutanasi. Genom åren har ett antal rättsfall berört frågan om aktiv eutanasi men rättsläget över vissa typer av aktiv eutanasi äSummary Active euthanasia and assisted suicide are two issues that from time to time appear in the Swedish public debate. It is however few politicians that want to bring up the issues, in spite of that a considerate part of the Swedish population have positive attitude to legalise active euthanasia. Through the years a number of cases have addressed the issue about active euthanasia but the legal
