Spatiotemporal characteristics of spontaneous alpha EEG activity patterns are analyzed in terms of large-scale phase synchronization. During periods with strong phase synchronization over the entire scalp, phase patterns take either of two forms; one is a gradual phase shift between frontal and occipital regions and the other is a stepwise pattern with a sudden phase shift in the central region. T

Big science är ett begrepp som utvecklats under de senaste decennierna för attbeskriva hur vetenskaplig utveckling i allt större grad knutits till storskaliga,internationella projekt som samfinansieras av länders regeringar. Internationellträknas CERN som ett av de mest framstående big science-projekten,medan ESS är Sveriges största big science-anläggning. År 2015 organiseradesESS enligt den inom

The fabrication of complex nanoscale electronics with reduced dimensions poses challenges on novel techniques to accurately determine fundamental electronic parameters. In this article, we present a universal contactless method based on Raman scattering for measuring the mobility and hole concentration independently in GaAs:Zn and Mn ion-implanted GaAs:Zn nanowires, potentially of great interest f

Background: Oxygen (O2) treatment has been a cornerstone in the treatment of patients with myocardial infarction. Recent studies, however, state that supplemental O2 therapy may have no effect or harmful effects in these patients. The aim of this study was thus to evaluate the effect of O2 therapy in patients with ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) based on the culprit vessel; Left Anterio

Eighty patients with primary intraoral squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck, with a follow-up of 4-14 years were analysed for clinical outcome in relation to immunohistochemical expression of PCNA, Ki-67, p53, bcl-2 and presence of mutations in the p53 gene. The turnout site was not associated with the different parameters calculated. PCNA and Ki-67 labelling showed median values of 56% a

The extraordinary adaptability of invertebrates is in no small part due to their sense organs, and particularly their eyes, which help them to find food, locate mates, escape predators and migrate to new habitats. Even though most invertebrates do not see as sharply as we do, many see much better in dim light, can experience many more colours, can see polarised light and can clearly distinguish ex

The use of wood as load-bearing material in residential and office buildings has increased significantly in Europe over the last decades. Such buildings often have wooden floors built with boards supported by joists and/or beams. The modal properties of such floors are important regarding the floors’ dynamic response to walking and other usage as well as structure-borne vibration and re-radiated n

Aims: Infectious complications frequently occur in intensive care unit patients admitted after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. There is debate on the effects of temperature management on the incidence of infections, as well as on the efficacy and choice of antibiotic prophylaxis. In this substudy of the targeted temperature management (TTM) trial, we describe the microbiological profile of infecti

Background: The transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) channel, localized to airway sensory nerves, has been proposed to mediate airway inflammation evoked by allergen and cigarette smoke (CS) in rodents, via a neurogenic mechanism. However the limited clinical evidence for the role of neurogenic inflammation in asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease raises an alternative possibil

Event-based sampling has been proposed as a general technique for lowering the average communication rate, energy consumption and computational burden in remote state estimation. However, the design of the event trigger is critical for good performance. In this paper, we study the combination of innovation-based triggering and state estimation of nonlinear dynamical systems using the particle filt

Introduction: Dystonia-deafness syndrome is a distinct clinical presentation within the dystonia-spectrum. Although several genetic and acquired causes have been reported, etiology remains unknown in the majority of patients. Objectives: To describe two patients with dystonia-deafness syndrome due to a beta-actin gene mutation. Methods: We report on disease course, genetic testing, and management
