Large quantities and numbers of organic compounds (OCs) from industries and domestic sources enter the wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) everyday, which is an ever-increasing issue in modern society. In WWTPs, the pollutants are either degraded or emitted to the air, the effluent (water) or the sludge (biosolids). Even though the sludge may contain toxic contaminants and heavy metals, there is a
Reklam har olika budskap för att påverka och influera oss. Denna uppsats syftar till kvalitativt undersöka hur samhällsideal och normer konstrueras i sex specifika Calvin Klein parfym reklamfilmer. Vidare syftar studien till att studera hur reklamfilmerna använder sig av genusrelaterade konstruktioner och stereotypa bilder. Den här uppsatsen har schematiskt tittat på ett bestämt antal aspekter i a
China’s economic reform has opened fresh flood into global market and its recent performance in overseas investment attracts world attention. Through a comparison in motivation, location choice and market entry mode with other Asian economies, as well as theoretical explanations from institutional perspective, this study intends to discover their similarities and differences, thus how unique China
The term self-determination is embedded in much difficulty. It is a term whose meaning has developed considerably from its first intended usage. Today, in a world that is in several respects becoming smaller and more conformed, certain peoples claim rights they have previously not been granted in order to protect their subsistence and preserve their culture. The Sami is one of these peoples. This
Background Several models for prediction of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) among chest pain patients in the emergency department (ED) have been presented, but many models predict only the likelihood of acute myocardial infarction, or include a large number of variables, which make them less than optimal for implementation at a busy ED. We report here a simple statistical model for ACS prediction th
In the present work we study the 1s2s2p3 6S(o) --> 1s2s2p(2)3s6P(e) and 1s2s2p3 6S(o) --> 1s2s2p(2)3d6P(e) transitions energies and probabilities in the boron isoelectronic sequence, including B I, C II, N III, O IV, F V, Mg IX and Al IX. Extending the calculations to Be-, we also confirm the bound character of the excited 1s2s2p3 6S(o) state and predict the electron affinity EA = 1.29783eV for Be
Results are reported for biosensors based on two different preparations of the same enzyme, laccase from Cerrena unicolor, one lyophilized and one stored frozen at - 18degreesC, for monitoring phenolic compounds. The enzyme was adsorbed on graphite electrodes and these were used in a flow through wall jet cell connected to a flow injection set-up. The electrodes were used at - 50 mV vs. AgAgCl. Th
The effect of mixing time on wheat protein composition and gluten formation was studied for three commercial flour mixtures (biscuit, standard and strong) and one durum flour. Ultracentrifugation was used to separate the fresh, wet gluten from the wheat-flour dough immediately after mixing. Small deformation dynamic theological measurements and RP- and SE-HPLC were used to determine the characteri
The lateral ganglionic eminence (LGE) is known to give rise to striatal projection neurons as well as interneurons, which migrate in the rostral migratory stream (RMS) to populate the granule cell and glomerular layers of the olfactory bulb. Because all of these neuronal subtypes express Distalless-related (DLX) homeobox proteins during their differentiation, we set out to further characterize pro
The study aims at investigating the use of Landsat thematic mapper (TM) for mapping leaf area index (LAI) in coniferous and deciduous forests in southern Sweden. LAI has been estimated in the field with optical measurements, allometric equations, and litter-trap data, and empirical relationships between LAI estimates and satellite-measured reflectances have been analysed. Several common vegetation
Background Open abdomen (OA) treatment often results in difficulties in closing the abdomen. Highest closure rates are seen with the vacuum-assisted wound closure (VAWC) technique. However, we have experienced occasional failures with this technique in cases with severe visceral swelling needing longer treatment periods with open abdomen. Feasibility and short-term outcome of a novel combination o
Extraction systems for hydrophobically tagged proteins have been developed based on phase separation in aqueous solutions of non-ionic detergents and polymers. The systems have earlier only been applied for separation of membrane proteins. Here, we examine the partitioning and purification of the amphiphilic fusion protein endoglucanase I(core)-hydrophobin I (EGI(core)-HFBI) from culture filtrate
In Sweden a new red list was issued 2000, but there is no published list of the most important areas for biodiversity preservation. I use woodliving and red-listed beetles as indicators of “hot-spots” for biodiversity preservation, since these insects constitute a large proportion of the red-listed forest living species in Sweden. Based on museum and many large private collections of beetles from
A new type of triangular phase diagram has been developed in which both the volume fractions and the shrinkage modes can be visualised and compared for the consolidation process in the paper dryer. The triangular phase diagrams show the development of the solid, the liquid and the gas volume fractions as well as the shrinkage relative to either ideal or no shrinkage of the sheets. Analysis showed
Popular Abstract in Swedish Parkinsons sjukdom uppstår när celler som producerar signalsubstansen dopamin i hjärnan dör. Detta leder till att de drabbade patienterna blir stela, får långsamma rörelser, svårt att påbörja och avsluta rörelser och även skakningar i framförallt armar och händer. Idag finns inget sätt att bota sjukdomen. Dock finns det läkemedel som kan lindra symptomen. Den vanligasteThe main pathological feature in Parkinson's disease is the progressive loss of dopamine neurons in the midbrain, which in turn leads to the appearance of motor deficits such as akinesia/bradykinesia (loss/slowness of movements), rigidity, postural imbalance and tremor. To this day, there is no cure for the disease, but there are medications to relieve the symptoms. The gold standard medication is
Objective: Interstitial laser coagulation (ILC) of the prostate is a minimally invasive method for treating symptomatic benign prostatic enlargement (BPE). We performed a prospective randomized study to compare the clinical outcomes of ILC and transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Material and Methods: Between December 1997 and February 2000, 38 patients with moderate-to-severe symptomat
Peptidoglycan from Staphylococcus aureus mobilized CD66b in human neutrophils but did not upregulate surface activation markers in eosinophils. In addition, Toll-like receptor 2, implicated in the recognition of peptidoglycan, was detected on the surface of resting neutrophils but not on eosinophils. These findings suggest roles for neutrophils but not eosinophils in innate recognition of peptidog
