The fillet of the gear tooth is highly stressed in operation; so for heavily loaded gears, the fillet geometry must be controlled. The manufacturer's task is to, within acceptable tolerances, produce the gear to the designer's specifications regardless of the manufacturing method. Most often gear cutting tools are used that work under generating conditions. The tool will form the gear tooth; so to
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and human glandular kallikrein 2 (hK2) are secreted by the prostate into seminal plasma and through leakage into blood. This leakage increases rapidly in prostate disease, and PSA is used worldwide as a marker of prostate cancer. PSA is activated in vitro by hK2, and cleaves the semenogelins in semen, which releases motile sperm, and low levels of PSA have been asso
This report is the outcome of Part I of a research project entitled An EPR system and new business models to in- crease reuse and recycling of textiles in the Nordic region. The overall aim of the project is to propose policy packages in Nordic countries which would support extended producer responsibility (EPR) systems and innovative business models which promote greater reuse and recycling of us
Abstract in UndeterminedAn analysis of the environmental effects and resource consumption by four systems for management of wastewater and organic household waste in a new city area have been performed, as follows: (1) conventional system complemented with advanced sludge treatment for phosphorus recovery, (2) blackwater system with urine diversion and food waste disposers, (3) blackwater system w
Test sensitivity pertains to the ability of a test to identify subjects with the target disorder. In cancer screening, test sensitivity can be estimated using interval cancer incidence as an indicator of false-negative result. A randomized trial provides the optimal approach for estimating test sensitivity, as the control arm provides the expected rates. We estimated the sensitivity of the prostat
Brachyradia, new genus, is proposed and described for two new species of the tribe Exechiini (Diptera: Mycetophilidae) from the Oriental and Australasian regions. The type species, Brachyradia asianca, new species, is described from Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia (Sulawesi), and a second species, Brachyradia australis, new species, from Indonesia (Sulawesi) and Papua New Guinea. The systematic
Despite prostate cancer being the most frequent cancer in men in the Western world, tissue biomarkers for predicting disease recurrence after surgery have not been incorporated into clinical practice. Our group has previously identified β-microseminoprotein (MSMB) and cysteine-rich secretory protein-3 (CRISP3) as independent predictors of biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy. The pur
Although there is an abundance of literature regarding the development of knee osteoarthritis after rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), the mechanism underlying this link is not clear. Recent studies have reported that several factors may be predictive of the development of osteoarthritis, including damage to the menisci and articular cartilage during the initial trauma, altered knee
Frequent or chronic tension-type headache in children is a prevalent and debilitating condition for the child, often leading to medication overuse. To explore the relationship between physical factors and tension-type headache in children, the quality of repeated measures was examined. The aim of the present study was to determine the test-retest repeatability of parameters determining isometric n
While higher intake of fish and lower consumption of red/processed meats have been suggested to play a protective role in the etiology of several cancers, prospective evidence for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is limited, particularly in Western European populations. The associations of fish and meats with HCC risk were analyzed in the EPIC cohort. Between 1992 and 2010, 191 incident HCC were ide
A method of separately quantifying organic and inorganic 14C compounds present in spent ion-exchange resins and process water from nuclear power reactors has been developed. Extraction of carbon compounds is accomplished by means of acid stripping (inorganic 14C) and subsequent wet oxidation (organic 14C) or by N2 purging in combination with a catalytic furnace (oxidized and reduced gaseous compou
Glycosidases are widespread among bacteria. The opportunistic human pathogen Enterococcus faecalis encodes several putative glycosidases but little is known about their functions. The identified endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase EndoE has activity on the N-linked glycans of the human immunoglobulin G (IgG). In this report we identified the human glycoprotein lactoferrin (hLF) as a new substrate for E
Capsule The majority of Hen Harriers Circus cyaneus that spend the winter in England are derived from the British breeding population. Aims To investigate the popular hypothesis that Hen Harriers which over-winter in England are derived principally from breeding populations in mainland Europe. Methods Demographic data were used to estimate numbers of Hen Harriers in Britain at the end of the breed
This paper presents a summary of beam-induced backgrounds observed in the ATLAS detector and discusses methods to tag and remove background contaminated events in data. Trigger-rate based monitoring of beam-related backgrounds is presented. The correlations of backgrounds with machine conditions, such as residual pressure in the beam-pipe, are discussed. Results from dedicated beam-background simu
With artificial intelligence (AI) technology constantly evolving and changing, policy makers struggle to keep up with it through the creation of adequate rules and regulations. The European Union (EU) has made the first attempt at AI regulation, outlining the need for respect of democracy, human rights and calling for transparency in AI usage. However, discussions about AI often overlook the femin
Seriepositionseffekter och recency-kvoten har visat potential som kliniska verktyg riktade mot neurokognitiva störningar, de har dock förblivit outforskade i Claeson-Dahls Test för inlärning och minne (CDT). Den aktuella studien syftade att fylla kunskapsluckan, vilket gjordes genom naturalistiskt insamlade data (N = 110) från ett projekt avsett att uppdatera CDT:s normer. Jag hypotiserade förekomSerial positioning effects and the derived recency ratio has shown increasing promise as clinical tools for evaluating neurocognitive disorders. These measures have remained unexplored in Claeson-Dahl’s Test for verbal learning and retention (CDT). To correct this, the present study used naturalistic sample data (N = 110) from a project intended to update CDT’s norms. I hypothesized the prevalence
In disaster risk management, participatory mapping (PM) closes spatial data gaps in communities by integrating local risk knowledge. The thesis examined the potential and limitations of the Sketch Map Tool (SMT) as a PM tool for community-based disaster risk reduction (DRR) through an International Red Cross Red Crescent Movement case study. The research evaluated the SMT's applicability for c
Personality similarity-hypothesis has not been put to the test with longitudinal wave-data before. This study investigates the temporal aspects of personality similarity and its implications for parenting qualities. I aim to explore if an individual's personality similarity with their parents at an earlier time point can predict higher levels of child well-being, attachment style, and relation
In southwestern Scania there is a paleovalley, the Alnarp Valley, which holds a confined aquifer called Alnarpsströmmen. Its geology consists mainly of sand and gravel and it is generally confined by one or more layers of clayey till above, and the limestone bedrock below. In collaboration with Region Skåne and SGU, this thesis aims to gather information about Alnarpsströmmen using two geophysical
