Popular Abstract in Swedish Sedimentära bergarter såsom t.ex. sandstenar och lerskiffrar, bildas genom att lösa sediment (t.ex. sand och lera) ”bakas” hårda när de sjunker ned i jordskorpan. Anledningen till att många lagerföljder rör sig nedåt i jordskorpan beror till viss del på de ovanliggande sedimentens tyngd, men är i huvudsak ett resultat av de platt-tektoniska rörelser som hela tiden påverPost-depositional thermal conditions have been investigated throughout the Phanerozoic sedimentary succession in Skåne. Clay mineralogy and illite crystallinity have been the main tools for the Lower Palaeozoic strata. Within the Mesozoic sequence thermal influence was examined using RockEval pyrolysis and vitrinite reflectance analysis. Clay mineralogy of the Lower Palaeozoic shales and mudstone

Synaptic dopamine release from embryonic nigral transplants has been monitored in the striatum of a patient with Parkinson's disease using [11C]-raclopride positron emission tomography to measure dopamine D2 receptor occupancy by the endogenous transmitter. In this patient, who had received a transplant in the right putamen 10 years earlier, grafts had restored both basal and drug-induced dopamine

The use of fossil energy is one of the major environmental problems associated with tourism and travel. Consequently, the need to limit fossil energy use has been highlighted as a precondition for achieving sustainable tourism development. However, tourism is also one of the most important sectors of the world economy, and fears have thus been expressed by the tourist industry and its organisation

Global problems such as atmospheric change, acid rain, and water pollution in surface and subsurface environments dominate discussions of world environmental problems. In this thesis the roles of hydrologic processes and hydrogeochemical processes are investigated through development, modification, and application of models for addressing point and non-point source contamination of water. The move

Modifications to a model describing swash motion based on solutions to the non-linear shallow water equations were made to account for interaction between up-rush and back-wash at the still water shoreline and within the swash zone. Inputs to the model are wave heights and arrival times at the still water shoreline. The model was tested against wave groups representing idealized vessel-generated w

The purpose of this Phase II study was to evaluate if alum-formulated human recombinant GAD65 is safe and does not compromise beta cell function. The study was conducted as a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation clinical trial in a total of 47 Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA) patients who received either placebo or 4, 20, 100, or 500 μg Diamyd subcutaneously at

Movement data are analyzed to elucidate principles of articulator coordination. Procedures for tracking articulator gestures from x-ray motion films, and results obtained from Swedish and Bulgarian work are reported in Wood [J. Phon. 19, 281–292 (1991), Proc. 3rd Congress I.C.P.L.A., 191-200, Helsinki (1994), Proc. 13th I.C.Ph.Sc., Vol. 1, 392–395, Stockholm (1995), J. Phon. (in press)]. Coarticul

Mobile phones become smaller but include more advanced functions for every new generation. This paradox is possible since reduced transistor size and increased integration of digital building blocks free space for new functions. Unfortunately, not all components are easily integrated or scaled, such as the antenna, since its performance is dependent on the size. Shrinking mobile phone size results

To characterize prostate-specific antigen (PSA) produced by cancer cells, different isoforms of PSA secreted by the human prostate cancer cells, LNCaP, were purified. LNCaP-PSA production was induced by synthetic androgen, R1881. LNCaP-PSA was separated into four pools. The molecular mass of LNCaP-PSA isoforms in these pools was 34 kDa under reducing conditions and 29 kDa under nonreducing conditi

The twin hook has been developed as an alternative to the conventional lag screw to be combined with a barrelled side-plate in the treatment of trochanteric hip fractures. With two oppositely directed apical hooks introduced into the subchondral bone of the femoral head, the twin hook provides different stabilising properties to the lag screw. The femoral head purchase of the twin hook and the lag

In this paper we discuss the possibility of a general paradigm for cell-biomaterial and cell-nanoparticle interactions. The basis of the paradigm is that the nature of the biomaterial or nanoparticle surface is not the important parameter, but rather the nature of the outermost layer of adsorbed proteins as well as long-lived misfolded proteins shed from the surfaces. If the adsorbed protein is ir
