The mechanical properties of major arteries may reflect early manifestations of vascular disease and are also of interest because they are important for cardiac work. Using echo-tracking sonography and blood pressure measurements, arterial stiffness and diameters were investigated in healthy individuals as well as in patients with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) or alpha₁-ant

Improved add-compare-select and branch metric units are presented to reduce the complexity in the implementation of trellis-based decoding architectures. These units use a complementary property of the best rate 1/2 convolutional codes to reduce both area requirements and power consumption in a silicon implementation with no loss in decoding performance. For a 0.13μm CMOS process, synthesized comp

The fourth generation broadband (4GBB) concept aims for ubiquitous and high-speed data communication over the existing twisted copper pairs between the last distribution point and the customer premise equipment. Although it saves deployment cost for the last-mile communication, using the existing copper infrastructure makes the system vulnerable to crosstalk due to electro-magnetic coupling from t

Popular Abstract in Swedish Från skärva till kärl fokuserar på ett arkeologiskt massmaterial, en materialkategori som är särskilt vanlig framför andra bland de arkeologiska fynden. Skärvor är fragment av keramiska kärl och analysen kommer att färdas från det lilla till det något större - från skärva till kärl. I centrum återfinns de kärl som varit i bruk i Uppsala från 1100-talets mitt till 1700-tAbstract From Sherd to Pot. A Contribution to the History of Everyday Life in Uppsala tackles the question: how is the culturally created reality produced, fixed, and changed, and how can this be related to the social structure as a whole? The hypothesis is that changes in society result in new cultural patterns which can be read in objects. The work consists of three main parts, an extensive summ

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: About 35% of individuals with type 2 diabetes develop persistent albuminuria, lose renal function, and are at increased risk for microvascular complications like diabetic nephropathy. Recent genome-wide association studies have identified the uromodulin locus (UMOD), encoding the most common protein in human urine to be associated with hypertension and also with chronic kidney dis

Hur ska en högre utbildning i säkerhetsledning se ut? Ska den ha utgångspunkt i teknik och problemlösning, ekonomi och management, kriminologi och beteendevetenskap eller kanske juridik? Här är del två i artikelserien om professionaliseringen av säkerhetsarbetet. Nu handlar det om möjligheter och utmaningar för en akademisk utbildning kring säkerhetsledning.

Treatment options for HIV patients have dramatically improved since the introduction of efficacious antiretroviral combination therapy more than a decade ago. Treatment regimens have been simplified with fewer pills and fewer daily dosages. Fosamprenavir is a protease inhibitor with a rather long half-life which makes it a candidate for once-daily use. Once-daily dosage of ritonavir-boosted fosamp

Mesenteric venous thrombus may be an incidental finding during imaging studies and asymptomatic patients are treated conservatively or with anticoagulant therapy only. Patients with symptomatic acute thrombosis causing bowel ischemia require urgent treatment, which frequently includes extensive surgery. Interventional treatment may be an alternative.

Amplification and overexpression of PPM1D (protein phosphatase magnesium-dependent 1 delta) has been observed in various cancer cell lines and primary tumors and has also been associated with cancers of poor prognosis. In addition to the negative feedback regulation of p38-p53 signaling, PPM1D inhibits other tumor suppressor activities and is involved in the control of DNA damage and repair pathwa

One regression test selection technique proposed for object-oriented programs is the Class firewall regression test selection technique. The selection technique selects test cases for regression test, which test changed classes and classes that depend on changed classes. However, in empirical studies of the application of the technique, we observed that another technique found the same defects, se

The gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analog buserelin causes enteric neuronal loss. Acute stress or injection of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) affects motility, secretion, and barrier function of the gastrointestinal tract. The aim of the study was to characterize the CRF immunoreactivity in enteric neurons after buserelin treatment, and to evaluate possible effects of enteric neuropat
