Objective: Practical use of the glycaemic index (GI), as recommended by the FAO/WHO, requires an evaluation of the recommended method. Our purpose was to determine the magnitude and sources of variation of the GI values obtained by experienced investigators in different international centres. Design: GI values of four centrally provided foods (instant potato, rice, spaghetti and barley) and local
Protein Microchip Array technology makes it possible to examine patterns of protein expressions and modifications. Current technologies such as two-dimensional get electrophoresis (2-DE) in combination with mass spectrometry allows the identification of biologically relevant proteins with high resolving power, but has also considerable limitations. Most spots observed in 2-DE are from high abundan
We investigate correlations of current at contacts and voltage fluctuations at voltage probes coupled to interferometers. The results are compared with correlations of current and occupation number fluctuations at dephasing probes. We use a quantum Langevin approach for the average quantities and their fluctuations. For higher order correlations we develop a stochastic path integral approach and f
Intraspecific interactions may increase or decrease foraging rates of individual consumers, and such facilitation or interference interactions should affect individual foraging economies as well as predator-prey processes at the population level. To mechanistically predict individual foraging performance, we need to investigate the effects of positive and negative interactions on separate foraging
New data on the phylogenetic relationships of various arthropod groups have spurred interesting attempts to reconstruct the evolution of arthropod nervous and visual systems. Some of the relevant new data are cell identities and developmental processes in the nervous and sensory systems, which is particularly useful for reconstructing the evolution of these systems. Here, we focus on the structure
Purpose: To develop a system for refined motor control of artificial hands based on multiple electromyographic (EMG) recordings, allowing multiple patterns of hand movements. Methods: Five subjects with traumatic below-elbow amputations and 1 subject with a congenital below-elbow failure of formation performed 10 imaginary movements with their phantom hand while surface electrodes recorded the EMG
Background. Hepatitis C is frequent problem in dialysis wards. Design. A long time (1989-97) follow up of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in a Swedish nephrology unit was performed with anti-HCV screening, confirmatory antibody tests, viral RNA detection and molecular characterization. Case histories were reviewed with focus, onset of infection, liver morbidity and mortality. Results. In October
The aim of this study was to determine if arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) colonisation influences rhizosphere bacteria differently depending on plant species. Thus, the effect of AM colonisation (Glomus intraradices) on rhizosphere bacteria of subterranean clover, cucumber, leek and maize was studied. The bacterial activity was measured as thymidine or leucine incorporation and bacterial numbers as co
In the rat, prolonged activation of beta 1-adrenoceptors causes a gain in salivary gland weight, whereas prolonged blockade of these receptors causes a reduction in weight.
Popular Abstract in Swedish Betydelsen av fysiskt kapital är något som ofta understryks i allmänna ordalag i den ekonomisk-historiska litteraturen. Väldigt få undersökningar har däremot försökt att kvantifiera och analysera det fysiska kapitalets betydelse för ekonomisk tillväxt under den svenska industrialiseringsprocessen. Det gäller i synnerhet på branschnivå. En sådan studie genomförs därför iThe significance of physical capital is often mentioned in general terms in economic history literature. In this study the amount of physical capital is calculated and its significance for industrial growth is analysed for the period 1870-1930. The largest and most important part of this thesis consists of constructions of capital stocks for industry as a whole and on the branch level. These cons

We have investigated heterostructures formed within Vapor-Liquid-Solid grown III-V nanowhiskers. The growth conditions that are typical for chemical beam epitaxy facilitate the creation of atomically abrupt interfaces. In this paper we investigate the properties of heterostructure interfaces including switching of either the column-V material (As, P) or the column-III material (In, Ga).
