Oxidized phospholipids occur naturally in conditions of oxidative stress and have been suggested to play an important role in a number of pathological conditions due to their effects on a lipid membrane acyl chain orientation, ordering, and permeability. Here we investigate the effect of the oxidized phospholipid 1-palmitoyl-2-azelaoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PazePC) on a model membrane of 1-

In this paper, we consider precoder designs for multiuser multiple-input-single-output (MISO) broadcasting channels. Instead of using a traditional linear zero-forcing (ZF) precoder, we propose a generalized ZF (GZF) precoder in conjunction with successive dirty-paper coding (DPC) for datatransmissions, namely, the GZF-DP precoder, where the suffix ‘DP’ stands for ‘dirty-paper’. The GZF-DP precode

Popular Abstract in Swedish Sedan 1970-talet har damfotboll i Sverige spelats med seriesystem på en nationell nivå. Damfotboll innebär troligtvis en ökad risk för knäledsförslitning, en risk som inte blir mindre med tanke på den höga förekomsten av allvarliga knäskador. Det går emellertid inte att bortse från de positiva effekterna, såväl fysiska som psykiska, som fotbollsspel också innebär. Damfo

In the early 1990s, Indonesia was seen as one of the post war success stories. The country was boasting an impressive growth record and had seen the number of poor continuously decline. This picture of Indonesia stood in stark contrast to the situation only 30 years earlier when the economy was in a shambles and starvation was a real threat. At the core of this change in Indonesia lies the transfo

In 2013, the Large Hadron Collider provided proton-lead and lead-proton collisions at the center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair root s(NN) = 5.02 TeV. Van der Meer scans were performed for both configurations of colliding beams, and the cross section was measured for two reference processes, based on particle detection by the T0 and V0 detectors, with pseudo-rapidity coverage 4.6 < eta < 4.9, -3.

Popular Abstract in Swedish POPULÄRVETENSKAPLIG SAMMANFATTNING PÅ SVENSKA Brott på strålbenet på handledsnivå (handledsbrott) är en av de vanligaste orsakerna till att patienter måste uppsöka en akutmottagning. Skadan drabbar oftast medelålders och äldre kvinnor. Skelettet blir skörare hos kvinnor efter klimakteriet, vilket lättare leder till ett benbrott. Medan brott på lårbenshalsen oftast drabABSTRACT Fractures of the distal radius are common injuries that may cause persistent disability and pain. This thesis prospectively investigates the incidence and characteristics of distal radius fractures, the relationship between fracture malunion and disability and the natural course of patient-reported outcome after fracture in a well-defined population in Northeastern Scania, Sweden.

Objectives. To estimate the incidence of fatal colonic ischaemia (CI) and the cause-specific mortality of CI, and to describe the localization and extension of colonic infarction and quantify the risk factors associated with CI. Material and methods. Between 1970 and 1982 the autopsy rate in Malmo, Sweden, was 87%, creating the possibilities for a population-based study. Out of 23,446 clinical aut

Popular Abstract in Swedish Modelleringsarbetet utvecklat i denna avhandling, kan delas in i två huvudområden: självantändning i ottomotorer, samt förbränning och emissioner i dieselmotorer. En första version av ett motorsimuleringsprogram med detaljerad kemisk kinetik, utökad för att innefatta full-cykel beräkningar, användes för att visa den starka påverkan som kväveoxider i restgaser har på sjThe modeling work developed in this thesis can be divided in two main areas of investigations: autoignition related to spark ignition engine and combustion and emissions formation in relation to diesel engines. A first version of a detailed kinetics engine simulation program, extended to handle full cycle calculations, was employed in order to demonstrate the strong effect that nitric oxide from

This thesis deals with techniques for raising the programming level for a particular kind of computations, namely those on abstract syntax trees. Such computations are central in many program analysis tools, such as compilers, smart language-sensitive editors, and static analysis tools. All techniques presented in this thesis support modular description and efficiency and are capable of handling l

The cycloruthenation of 2-phenylimidazole (phim) by [Ru(6-C6H6)(-Cl)Cl]2 in acetonitrile in the presence of NaOH has been carried out. The unstable intermediate [Ru(phim)(MeCN)4]PF6 formed has been converted into the complexes [Ru(phim)(4,4′-Me2bpy)(MeCN)2]PF6 (2) and [Ru(phim)(LL)2]PF6 (3, LL=phen (a), bpy, 4,4′-Me2bpy), which were characterized by the mass-spectrometry, 1H-NMR spectroscopy, UV–v

Light stability of different spray dried microencapsulated powders containing the natural colorant bixin was evaluated for 30 days. The encapsulating materials evaluated were sucrose, maltodextrin, and mixtures including gum arabic and pectin as encapsulation enhancers. The photostability of two sets of encapsulated material was compared: one containing purified bixin, and one being an annatto ext

Context. We present the discovery of J22564-5910, a new type of hot subdwarf (sdB) which shows evidence of gas present in thesystem and it has shallow, multi-peaked hydrogen and helium lines which vary in shape over time. All observational evidence pointstowards J22564-5910 being observed very shortly after the merger phase that formed it.Aims. Using high-resolution, high signal-to-noise spectrosc

Purpose: This paper aims to study the effects of different weather conditions on typical concrete work tasks’ productivity. Weather is one important factor that has a negative impact on construction productivity. Knowledge about how weather affects construction works is therefore important for the construction industry, e.g. during planning and execution of construction projects. Design/methodolog

Nonlinear pulse post-compression, mainly enabled by self-phase modulation (SPM), opens new avenues towards high peak power laser pulses at high average power while bypassing the need for a gain medium with large bandwidth. However, SPM-induced spectral broadening typically introduces spectral amplitude modulations as well as a chirp of third and higher orders, limiting the temporal contrast of the

Researches on the modeling of machining difficult-to-cut metals are important for optimization of the processing parameters, in which the force modeling is essential due to its significant influence on the performance of tools and the quality of parts. A semi-analytical method for force prediction in orthogonal cutting with chamfered tools considering both edge and size effect is proposed in this

In response to social fragmentation and segregation, public space is increasingly conceived of as an instrument for fostering openness towards differences. Drawing on two recent public spaces—Superkilen in Copenhagen, Denmark, and Jubileumsparken in Gothenburg, Sweden—this article explores the ethical potential of two different design approaches to the sharing of public space—designing for an ethi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Marsupialia (pungdjur) delas in i 280 nu levande arter, som är uppdelade i 19 familjer och sju ordningar. Släktskapet mellan de sju ordningarna har studerats på molekylär nivå på grundval av mitokondriella genom som sekvenserats i sin helhet. Pungdjur, jämte placentala (moderkaks-) däggdjur och kloakdjur, utgör de nu levande representanterna för klassen däggdjur. PungdjThe relationships of the mammalian infraclass Marsupialia have been investigated by phylogenetic analysis using completely sequenced mitochondrial genomes. The organisation and structure of the marsupial mitochondrial genomes deviates from the general mammalian structure. Several features, not known from other mammalian mitochondrial genomes have been shown to be present in all seven living marsup

En närmast evig fråga i den svenska straffrätten är hur uppsåtsbedömningen ska utföras vid gärningspersoner påverkade av självförvållad berusning. Svensk rätt har genom historien antagit olika ståndpunkter i frågan vilka i uppsatsen utreds genom ett rättsutvecklingsperspektiv. Det rådande rättsläget undersöks genom en rättsanalytisk rättsfallsanalys av 32 hovrättsdomar från 2018. RättsfallsundersöA nearly never-ending question within the Swedish criminal law is how to assess the intent of a self-induced intoxicated offender. The Swedish legal system has during the legislative history adopted multiple positions in the topic which the essay seeks to investigate in the context of legal development. The current legal position is investigated through an analytical case study of 32 rulings from
