Popular Abstract in Swedish Genom att använda marina sedimentkärnor från havbotten kan vi dyka ner i forna tiders hav och förstå hur klimat och havsmiljö har utvecklats över tid. Sedimenten och dess innehåll av olika mikrofossil utgör ett fantastiskt miljöarkiv och ju längre ner i sedimenten vi kommer desto äldre är de vanligtvis. I mitt doktorandprojekt har jag studerat marina sediment från kusteThere is a limited understanding of how the benthic environment within upwelling regions responded to past rapid climatic changes. Within this thesis, a multiproxy approach is applied to two marine sediment cores from two coastal upwelling sites in the low latitude subtropical Atlantic. With a focus on benthic foraminiferal faunal analyses, the response of the benthic environment to rapid climatic

The material quality at high-k interfaces are a major concern for FET devices. We study the effect on two types of InAs nanowire (NW) transistors and compare their characteristics. It is found that by introducing an inner layer of Al2O3 at the high-kappa interface, the low frequency noise (LFN) performance regarding gate voltage noise spectral density, S-Vg, is improved by one order of magnitude p

Elevated cystatin C in blood reflects impaired glomerular filtration rate (GFR), but current cystatin C assays, based on polyclonal antibodies and immunoturbidimetric or nephelometric detection, have several limitations. We evaluated a new immunoassay based on monoclonal antibodies in samples from patients with and without chronic kidney disease (CKD). The study enrolled 170 men without known CKD

Popular Abstract in Swedish Neuroblastom är en allvarlig cancerform som nästan enbart drabbar barn. Denna typ av tumörer hittas i vävnader av det sympatiska nervsystemet (vilket är en del av det icke viljestyrda nervsystemet i kroppen). Allra vanligast är det att tumörerna bildas i binjuren, ett organ placerat strax ovanför njuren. Cancer är en komplex sjukdom och varje tumör är speciell på sitt sCells adapt to oxygen shortage, hypoxia, by inducing a transcriptional shift governed mainly by Hypoxia Inducible Factor (HIF)-1 and HIF-2. In various cancer forms, including neuroblastoma, high expression of HIF-2α correlates with disseminated disease and poor outcome. It has become evident that HIF-1 and HIF-2 are differentially regulated over time and by oxygen levels. HIF-2α is expressed in a

The paper presents studies of Bose-Einstein Correlations (BEC) for pairs of like-sign charged particles measured in the kinematic range [Formula: see text] 100 MeV and [Formula: see text] 2.5 in proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 0.9 and 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The integrated luminosities are approximately 7 [Formula: see text]b[Formula: see te

A peripheral nerve can be injured in different ways, varying from a simple nerve compression, a complete transection or laceration and also as traction lesions such as brachial plexus injuries (including avulsion of spinal nerve roots). A thorough history and examination of the patient is crucial to make a correct diagnosis of the lesion, so that the correct treatment can be initiated immediately.

Vi berättar om ett flertal fynd av riktigt gamla hundar från Europa och Asien samt presenterar några av våra svenska exempel. Vi utnyttjar kunskaper från arkeologi och osteologi (läran om skelettet) och tolkar förhållandet mellan hund och människa från allra äldsta stenålder. Vi beskriver också vad som generellt sker med en djurart fysiskt när den tämjs och anpassar sig till ett liv med oss männis

The adsorption of methanol on Ni3Al(1 1 1) and NiAl(1 1 0) has been studied using high resolution photoemission spectroscopy (HR-PES) and density functional theory (DFT). Both methanol and methoxy are formed on these surfaces after the initial methanol exposure at low temperatures. Heating to 200 K leads to further formation of methoxy. On NiAl(1 1 0) two different methoxy species are observed whe

The construction and performance of the parallel plate avalanche counters (PPACs) using a spontaneous fission source Cf-252 is described in this paper. The parallel plate circular electrodes are made of aluminum foils having a thickness less than ten microns. After fabrication, the detectors and the source are mounted inside a reaction chamber, the source between the two detectors. A low pressure

I artikeln görs en översikt över jordbrukets och skogsbrukets närvaro i konsten i Sverige under 1900-talet. Den innehåller också analyser och diskussioner rörande hur, när och varför det agrara motivet är närvarande alternativt frånvarande i konsten under perioden.

Atherosclerotic plaques with a low content of connective tissue proteins are believed to have an increased risk of rupture and to give rise to clinical events. The aim of the present study was to investigate if the content of elastin, collagen and of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) -1, -3, -9 and -12 in plaques removed at surgery can be associated with the occurrence of ipsilateral symptoms.

We used a single adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector co-expressing tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and GTP cyclohydrolase 1 (GCH1) to investigate the relationship between vector dose, and the magnitude and rate of recovery in hemi-parkinsonian rats. Intrastriatal injections of >1E10 genomic copies (gc) of TH-GCH1 vector resulted in complete recovery in drug-naïve behavior tests. Lower vector dose gave p

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: The two-step dilute acid hydrolysis (DAH) of softwood is costly in energy demands and capital costs. However, it has the advantage that hydrolysis and subsequent removal of hemicellulose-derived sugars can be carried out under conditions of low severity, resulting in a reduction in the level of sugar degradation products during the more severe subsequent steps of cellulose hy

A largely extended experimental knowledge of the Cu-61(29)32 nucleus has been obtained from three experiments. Excited states in Cu-61 were produced via the fusion-evaporation reaction Si-28(Ar-36, 3p)Cu-61. In addition to the Ge array GAMMASPHERE, neutron and charged-particle detectors placed around the target position were used for high-performance particle spectroscopy. The constructed level sc

The visual semiotics of Groupe µ and its relevance for art theory at large.

Aims. We seek to provide 2MASS and OGLE identifications and coordinates for all stars in the finding chart published by Arp (1965, ApJ, 141, 43). This chart covers the low extinction area around NGC 6522, also known as Baade's window, at coordinates (l, b) = (1.02, -3.92). Methods. A cross correlation, using numerical techniques, was performed between a scan of the original finding chart from Arp

We study the spectral and magnetic properties of one-dimensional lattices filled with 2-4 fermions (with spin-1/2) per lattice site. We use a generalized Hubbard model that takes into account all the interactions on a lattice site, and solve the many-particle problem by exact diagonalization. We find an intriguing magnetic phase diagram which includes ferromagnetism, spin-1 Heisenberg antiferromag
