Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) reflects kidney function. Progressive eGFR-decline can lead to kidney failure, necessitating dialysis or transplantation. Hundreds of loci from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for eGFR help explain population cross section variability. Since the contribution of these or other loci to eGFR-decline remains largely unknown, we derived GWAS for annual

Ozonation transformation products (OTPs) are largely unknown compounds that are formed during the ozonation of micropollutants, and it is uncertain to which extent these compounds can be removed by subsequent adsorption to activated carbon. Thus, 14C-labeled micropollutants were ozonated to generate 14C-labeled OTPs, for which the adsorption of the sum of all 14C-labeled OTPs to activated carbon c

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Beskrivning och kartläggning av vegetationen samt tolkning av jord, klimat och annan information är mycket viktigt för förståelse och planering för användande av naturresurser. Fenologi dvs växters årliga variationer, är nära korrelerad med dynamiken i atmosfären. Information om vegetationens fenologi på regional och global nivå är därför en viktigt komponent föVegetation phenology (seasonal rhythm) is closely related to seasonal dynamics in the lower atmosphere and is therefore an important element in global climatic models and vegetation monitoring. Remote sensing is the primary means by which we can observe the dynamic characters of the earth's biosphere. Description and mapping of the natural vegetation, and its interpretation in terms of soil, c

En Multispectral Canopy Reflectance Modell (MCRM) av Kuusk (1995) har använts för att simulera reflektansen i ett sockerbetsbestånd. De simulerade reflektansvärdena visade på hög absorbans i VIS-området, jämfört med mätningar i fält, och höga reflektansvärden i NIR-området. En "vårmodell" utfördes, och jämfördes med originalsimuleringen. Denna gav mer korrekta reflektansvärden.The Multispectral Canopy Reflectance Model (MCRM) by Kuusk (1995) has been used to simulate the reflectance of a sugarbeet canopy. The simulated reflectance values show high absorptance in the VIS area, compared to field measurements, and high reflectance values in the NIR area. The errors may be due to overestimation of clorophyll content in the sugarbeet leaves and scattered light during field m

The internal heat exchangers of a vehicle in driving are excited by forced vibration due to road bumps. But the effect of this phenomenon on the thermal-hydraulic performance of the heat exchanger has not been systematically studied. To investigate the influence of this vibration on the heat transfer characteristics, a numerical model of the rectangular heat exchanger unit channel under vibration

Reduced walking ability is common in persons with late effects of polio (LEoP). Here, we explored how many walking limitations persons with LEoP perceive, and how these limitations influence daily life, by using a mixed-methods design. Fourteen persons (mean age 70 years, whereof 7 women) with LEoP responded to the Walking Impact Scale (Walk-12), and were inter-viewed individually. Qualitative dat

This thesis focuses on conduct rules in criminal law. Such rules prohibit, proscribe and permit different courses of conduct that individuals are obligated to, or in the case of permissions, allowed to follow. The correlates to conduct rules are criminal adjudication rules. As a result, very little has been said in the literature about conduct rules and how they function. This knowledge gap raises

The multiplicity dependence of jet production in pp collisions at the centre-of-mass energy of s=13TeV is studied for the first time. Jets are reconstructed from charged particles using the anti-kT algorithm with resolution parameters R varying from 0.2 to 0.7. The jets are measured in the pseudorapidity range | ηjet| < 0.9 - R and in the transverse momentum range 5

This paper reports constraints on Higgs boson production with transverse momentum above 1 TeV. The analyzed data from proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV were recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider from 2015 to 2018 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 136 fb-1. Higgs bosons decaying into bb¯ are reconstructed as single large-radius jets re

A search is made for a vectorlike T quark decaying into a Higgs boson and a top quark in 13 TeV proton-proton collisions using the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider with a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb-1. The Higgs-boson and top-quark candidates are identified in the all-hadronic decay mode, where H→bb¯ and t→bW→bqq¯′ are reconstructed as large-radius je
