We have previously shown synovial fluid (SF) proteoglycan concentrations to be sensitive markers of altered cartilage metabolism in arthritis. We determined the proteoglycan concentrations in sera and SF from 23 patients with juvenile chronic arthritis and in sera from 30 healthy children by a specific enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. In both groups of children, decreasing concentrations of prot

The emulsifying properties of proteins have been a subject concern for those dealing with functional properties of proteins. The studies so far have been restricted to two main approaches: emulsifying capacity and emulsion stability measurements. The former measures the maximum oil addition until inversion or phase separation of the emulsion occurs, whereas the latter measures the ability of the e

This article presents the results of a study where the effect of five window glazing types on daylight quality was investigated using a scale model (1:6) of a room with a single, south east-oriented window exposed to the natural sky. The space studied simulated a typical, fully furnished living room. A total of 30 research subjects took part in the experiment, observed the room and filled question

In this paper, we take a fundamental look at the interference characteristics of a lens-based millimeter-wave (mmWave) multiuser multiple-input multiple-output system (MU-MIMO) system. We consider a hybrid architecture, implemented via a bank of radio-frequency (RF) switches which perform beam selection followed by low-complexity uplink maximum-ratio combining (MRC) at baseband. Considering a Rotm

Localization microscopy methods like Stochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy (STORM) are very well suited for exploring clustering of proteins, as the data inherently provide a list of molecular coordinates. Here we use state-of-art cluster analysis algorithms (DBSCAN) to explore the clustering behaviour of different affinity forms of the integrin LFA-1. It has been suggested that LFA-1 may f

The power of the informal settlements– The case of Dar es SalaamMaria Isabel RasmussenHousing Development & Management – HDMLund University, Swedenmaria.rasmussen@hdm.lth.seAbstractThis paper discusses the importance of the maps in urban planning and the consequences for the cities planned within a non existence of maps context, when the power decision is derived to the dwellers. Although map

An atmospheric pressure aerosol-based wet thin film coating technique called the nFOG is characterized and applied in polymer film coatings. In the nFOG, a fog of droplets is formed by two air-assist atomizers oriented toward each other inside a deposition chamber. The droplets settle gravitationally and deposit on a substrate, forming a wet film. In this study, the continuous deposition mode of t

Mesostructured films of alkyltrimethylammonium bromides or cetylpyridinium bromide and polyethylenimines that spontaneously self-assemble at the air/water interface have been examined using a range of surface sensitive techniques. These films are unusual in that they can be micrometers thick and are relatively robust. Here we show that the films can be cross-linked and thus removed from the liquid

The upcoming Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) ground-based gamma-ray observatory will open up our view of the very high energy Universe, offering an improvement in sensitivity of 5-10 times that of previous experiments. NectarCAM is one of the proposed cameras for the Medium-Sized Telescopes (MST) which have been designed to cover the core energy range of CTA, from 100 GeV to 10 TeV. The final came

Forest conservation has emerged as a key strategy to achieve global climate goals, yet many forest-rich countries remain underfunded. Cambodia, despite its extensive forest cover and high deforestation rates, accesses only a small portion of climate finance to support national mitigation efforts. Developing countries such as Cambodia access only a small share of the substantial annual for national

Uppsatsen undersöker om det rättsliga stödet för sekretess enligt 21 kap. 7 § offentlighets- och sekretesslagen (OSL) uppfyller legalitetsprincipens krav. Av 21 kap. 7 § offentlighets- och sekretesslagen (OSL) framgår det bl a. att sekretess gäller för personuppgifter, om det kan antas att uppgiften efter ett utlämnande kommer att behandlas i strid med dataskyddsförordningen (GDPR) eller dataskydThe essay investigates whether the legal basis for confidentiality according to the 21st chapter 7 § of the Public Access to Information and Secrecy Act (OSL) is in fulfillment of the demands that follow the principle of legality. According to the 21st chapter 7 § OSL, confidentiality applies to personal data if it can be assumed that, after being disclosed, the data will be pro-cessed in violati

Background: Lignocellulosic waste is a desirable biomass for use in second generation biorefineries. Up to 40% of its sugar content consist of pentoses, which organisms either take up sequentially after glucose depletion, or not at all. A previously described Escherichia coli strain, PPA652ara, capable of simultaneous consumption of glucose, xylose and arabinose was in the present work utilized fo

Evolution has traditionally been a historical and descriptive science, and predicting future evolutionary processes has long been considered impossible. However, evolutionary predictions are increasingly being developed and used in medicine, agriculture, biotechnology and conservation biology. Evolutionary predictions may be used for different purposes, such as to prepare for the future, to try an

Pre-understanding – our presuppositions of reality – underlies all research. Many researchers probably also draw productively on their pre-understanding in their studies. However, very few rationales and methodological resources exist for how researchers can enrich their research by mobilizing their pre-understanding more actively and systematically. We elaborate and propose a framework for how re

A data-driven reduced basis (RB) method for parametrized time-dependent problems is proposed. This method requires the offline preparation of a database comprising the time history of the full-order solutions at parameter locations. Based on the full-order data, a reduced basis is constructed by the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD), and the maps between the time/parameter values and the proje
