Driving pattern in urban areas - descriptive analysis and initial prediction model

Driving pattern, i.e. the speed profiles of vehicles, was studied in connection with variables in the driver-car-environment system. Data were collected using five measuring cars that were driven by 29 randomly chosen families for two weeks each. The cars were equipped with data-logging devices that enabled studies of the speed and acceleration patterns of the vehicles as well as engine speed and

Searches for neutral Higgs bosons in extended models

Searches for neutral Higgs bosons produced at LEP in association with Z bosons, in pairs and in the Yukawa process are presented in this paper. Higgs boson decays into b quarks, tau leptons, or other Higgs bosons are considered, giving rise to four-b, four-b+jets, six-b and four-tau final states, as well as mixed modes with b quarks and tau leptons. The whole mass domain kinematically accessible a

The oxytocin/vasopressin receptor antagonist atosiban delays the gastric emptying of a semisolid meal compared to saline in human

BACKGROUND: Oxytocin is released in response to a meal. Further, mRNA for oxytocin and its receptor have been found throughout the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The aim of this study was therefore to examine whether oxytocin, or the receptor antagonist atosiban, influence the gastric emptying. METHODS: Ten healthy volunteers (five men) were examined regarding gastric emptying at three different occ

Characterization of a novel testicular form of human hormone-sensitive lipase

Hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) is an esterase and lipase, which are essential for spermatogenesis. Two HSL mRNAs are expressed in human testis. A long form is encoded by a testis-specific exon and nine exons common to testis and adipocyte HSL. Here we show that the short-form 3.3-kb mRNA possesses a unique 5' end that is transcribed from a novel testis-specific exon. The corresponding protein is s

Rädda en varg-Skjut en same: Den historielösa jämlikheten och föraktet för samer i Sverige

Save a Wolf – Shoot a Sami: Equality without History and the Hate Speech Against the Sami People in Sweden: During the last years there has been a considerable increase in hate speech against the Sami people in Sweden. This article explores the nature of this hate speech, why it has occurred and its structural basis. In order to overcome a relationship based on hate and disputes over the rights of

The occurrence of fibre-type grouping in healthy human muscle: a quantitative study of cross-sections of whole vastus lateralis from men between 15 and 83 years

Methods that objectively assess the muscle fibre-type arrangement may improve the detection of fibre-type grouping, a diagnostic sign of a denervation and reinnervation process. To distinguish between a diseased and a normal muscle, there is a need for quantitative data on the fibre-type arrangement in healthy human muscles at different ages. In this study, cross-sections were prepared of whole au

Fundamental effects and non-linear Si detector response

Non-linearity in the energy response of a Si p-i-n charged particle detector has been studied for incident particles with Z(1) between 3 and 26, and energies between 0.1 and 0.7 MeV per nucleon. Although the data closely followed a straight line relations, fitting of the data to a third order polynomial revealed that the response exhibited a persistent curvature that acted to reduce the energy int

Cold stress decreases the capacity for respiratory NADH oxidation in potato leaves.

Cold stress effects on the expression of genes for respiratory chain enzymes were investigated in potato (Solanum tuberosum L., cv. Desiree) leaves. The nda1 and ndb1 genes, homologues to genes encoding the non-proton-pumping respiratory chain NADH dehydrogenases of Escherichia coli and yeast, were compared to genes encoding catalytic subunits of the proton-pumping NADH dehydrogenase (complex I).

A global survey of physicians' perceptions on cholesterol management: the From The Heart study

Aims: Guidelines for cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention cite high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) as a major risk factor and recommend LDL-C goals for various risk groups. Lifestyle changes are advised as first-line treatment for patients with high cholesterol, and statins are recommended in high-risk patients. The From The Heart study investigated current practice for t

Brain capillary density and cerebral blood flow after occlusion of the middle cerebral artery in normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats and spontaneously hypertensive rats

OBJECTIVE: In order to elucidate why spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) develop larger brain infarcts distal to an arterial occlusion than normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats, we determined the surface and volume densities of cerebral capillaries, and the regional cerebral blood flow distal to an arterial occlusion in SHR and WKY rats. DESIGN: Occlusion of the middle cerebral artery was chosen

Genarps bytomt. Genarp 3:8 m.fl., RAÄ 84, Genarps socken, Skåne. Rapport över arkeologisk slutundersökning 2006

Sommaren 2006 genomförde Kulturen i Lund en arkeologisk undersökning i en del av byn Genarp i Skåne. Redan under äldre järnålder förekom mänsklig aktivitet på platsen, bl.a. gjordes fyndet en ugn för järnframställning. Permanent bosättning på platsen har funnits sedan 1000-talet. Bebyggelse framkom i form av ett grophus och flera stolpburna hus. Fyndet av en felbränd keramikskärva utgör indikation
