Popular Abstract in Swedish Påverkan av faktor V Leiden-mutationen på risk för utveckling av neovaskulära komplikationer efter centralvenstrombos studerades. Hos patienter med mutationen var risken nästan tre gånger högre att utveckla neovaskulära komplikationer än hos patienter utan mutationen. Synnervssvullnad , som nyligen har presenterats som en indikator på god prognos vid centralvenstrombosThe influence of the factor V Leiden mutation on the development of neovascular complications in central retinal vein occlusion was studied. The presence of the mutation was found to enhance the risk of developing neovascular complications almost threefold compared to in patients without the mutation. Optic nerve head swelling, which recently has been presented as an indicator of good prognosis i

To investigate how the relation between the control time and the total amount of water varies with the water application rate at manual fire fighting operations, six different experimental fire test series were studied. In spite of being quite different, the experiments prove to give similar results. Plotting the total volume of water required against the application rate, gives a diagram in the s

A measurement of direct photons in p+p collisions at root s=200 GeV is presented. A photon excess above background from pi(0)->gamma+gamma, eta ->gamma+gamma and other decays is observed in the transverse momentum range 5.5 < p(T)< 7 GeV/c. The result is compared to a next-to-leading-order perturbative QCD calculation. Within errors, good agreement is found between the QCD calculation and the meas

The instantaneous response models the rapid part of the interaction between electromagnetic fields and materials. From a physical point of view the instantaneous response is non-observable and from a mathematical point of view it constitutes the principal part of the Maxwell equations. In this paper, it is shown that the instantaneous response is not uniquely determined from a given set of values

Oscillator strengths for 57 U II lines in the region 3500-6700 Åhave been derived by combining new branching fraction measurements withrecently measured lifetimes. The lines combine six upper levels withnumerous low levels having excitation energies of 0-1.5 eV. The datainclude the U II line at 3859 Å, which is used forcosmochronology.

Real-time ultrasound was used in 654 consecutive pregnancies to obtain standard growth parameters for the fetal brain. Measurement of the width of the lateral ventricle (LVW) and hemisphere and their relationships to menstrual age, biparietal diameter, and birth weight were determined. The growth of the LVW was to a great extent independent of birth weight but dependent on menstrual age. Thirteen

Subcutaneous metastases from an oesophageal carcinoma were irradiated using different schedules. The results have to be evaluated with greatest caution but indicate that with the same CRE value, few fractions caused less skin reactions than several, and the size of the shoulder of the cell survival curve was of the order of 0.7 Gy.

Both the antibody affinity and the detectability of the label are essential in deciding the final characteristics of a heterogeneous immunoassay. This paper describes an approach to obtain a supplementary enhancement of the signal generated by using an enzyme label, e.g., by including the product of the enzymatic reaction in an additional amplification cycle during the detection step performed wit

The Parmeliaceae flora of the Nordic area is reviewed on the basis of literature, database, and herbarium sources. A list of 40 genera and 153 species in current use, with comments on their distribution and taxonomic remarks on some of the species, is presented.

The Scandinavian part of the NICHD study of successive small-for-gestational-age (SGA) births included 5722 parous women from Trondheim and Bergen (in Norway) and Uppsala (in Sweden). Study enrollment took place from January 1986 through March 1988. The aim of the main study was to investigate factors associated with inhibited intrauterine growth. This paper reports on the fetal, perinatal, and ne

In recent years the Swedish Police Force (SPF) have encountered greater demands on availability and 24/7 services when dealing with errands that are regarded as low priority compared to regular police work, e.g. collecting tips from the public. One attempt to meet these increasing demands was the development of a mobile communications platform that allowed the public to communicate easily with the

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna doktorsavhandling består av fyra fristående artiklar. Artiklarna har det gemensamt att de alla använder Bayesiansk ekonometri, i kombination med s.k. Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) metoder, för att studera olika problem inom finansiell ekonomi. De första två artiklarna är ytterligare relaterade till varandra genom att de båda handlar om portföljvalsteori och skatThis PhD thesis consists of four separate papers. What these papers have in common is that Bayesian Econometrics, in combination with Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods, is applied to study various problems in financial economics. The first two papers are further related in that they both deal with portfolio selection and estimation risk, as are the last two papers in that they both deal with

An indirect 125I-labeled protein A assay for detection of cell surface-bound rat immunoglobulins is presented. The assay is quantitative and rapid and detects as little as 1 ng of cell surface-bound Ig. It discriminates between antibodies belonging to different IgG subclasses, IgM and IgA. We describe the production and specificity control of the reagents used and show that the test can be used fo
