Methods Employed in Cytofluorometric Assessment of Eryptosis, the Suicidal Erythrocyte Death

Suicidal erythrocyte death or eryptosis contributes to or even accounts for anemia in a wide variety of clinical conditions, such as iron deficiency, dehydration, hyperphosphatemia, vitamin D excess, chronic kidney disease (CKD), hemolytic-uremic syndrome, diabetes, hepatic failure, malignancy, arteriitis, sepsis, fever, malaria, sickle-cell disease, beta-thalassemia, Hb-C and G6PD-deficiency, Wil

Measurement of inclusive and differential cross sections in the H → ZZ * → 4ℓ decay channel in pp collisions at √s=13 TeV with the ATLAS detector

Inclusive and differential fiducial cross sections of Higgs boson production in proton-proton collisions are measured in the H → ZZ* → 4ℓ decay channel. The proton-proton collision data were produced at the Large Hadron Collider at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV and recorded by the ATLAS detector in 2015 and 2016, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb−1. The inclusive fiducial cr

Reducing WBC background in cancer cell separation products by negative acoustic contrast particle immuno-acoustophoresis

Cancer cells display acoustic properties enabling acoustophoretic separation from white blood cells (WBCs) with 2–3 log suppression of the WBC background. However, a subset of WBCs has overlapping acoustic properties with cancer cells, which is why label-free acoustophoretic cancer cell isolation needs additional purification prior to analysis. This paper reports for the first time a proof of conc

Insufficient Sleep Is Associated with Obesity and Excessive Screen Time Amongst Ten-Year-Old Children in Sweden

Purpose: This study investigated sleep, television, computer habits, and obesity in school-age children. Design and methods: This was a cross-sectional self-report survey of 1260 children in grade 4 (mean age, 10.1) living in southern Sweden (49.1% boys). The heights and weights of 1097 (87.1%) of the children were recorded. Descriptive statistics, bivariate analyses, and multiple logistic regress

Textile dye removal using experimental wetland ponds planted with common duckweed under semi-natural conditions

The study assesses the performance of experimental wetland pond systems vegetated by Lemna minor L. (common duckweed or lesser duckweed) for textile azo dye removal. The objectives are to assess the influence of L. minor on water quality parameters, compare the dye and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal of four dyes (Acid Blue 113, Reactive Blue 198, Direct Orange 46 and Basic Red 46) with each

Renovation of Swedish single-family houses from the 1960s and 1970s to net-zero energy buildings : Case study

This paper evaluates whether a net-zero energy building (NZEB) can be attained by implementing on-site renewable electricity production when renovating to Passive House level. The assessment is based on the Swedish single-family housing stock constructed between 1961 and 1980, using two case study houses and three locations. Specific conditions of the houses, such as the type of heat generation an

InP/InAsP Nanowire-Based Spatially Separate Absorption and Multiplication Avalanche Photodetectors

Avalanche photodetectors (APDs) are key components in optical communication systems due to their increased photocurrent gain and short response time as compared to conventional photodetectors. A detector design where the multiplication region is implemented in a large band gap material is desired to avoid detrimental Zener tunneling leakage currents, a concern otherwise in smaller band gap materia

Combined genome and transcriptome sequencing to investigate the plant cell wall degrading enzyme system in the thermophilic fungus Malbranchea cinnamomea

Background: Genome and transcriptome sequencing has greatly facilitated the understanding of biomass-degrading mechanisms in a number of fungal species. The information obtained enables the investigation and discovery of genes encoding proteins involved in plant cell wall degradation, which are crucial for saccharification of lignocellulosic biomass in second-generation biorefinery applications. T

Toke och andra aristokratiska kyrkbyggare i det medeltida Lund

Aristokratiska gårdsanläggningar med residensbyggnad och kyrka var vanligt förekommande på den medeltida landsbygden. Företeelsen tycks ha existerat också i urbana miljöer. De icke-regala lundensiska träkyrkorna kan ses som privatkyrkor indikerande på aristokratiska stadsgårdar. Dessa ersattes senare med stenkyrkor vilka via patronatskap fortsatt var knutna till frälsets urbana gårdar, en rumslig

Levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel in advanced Parkinson's : Final results of the GLORIA registry

Introduction: This registry evaluated the 24-month safety and efficacy of levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG) treatment in advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) patients under routine clinical care. Methods: Motor fluctuations, dyskinesia, non-motor symptoms, quality of life, and safety were evaluated. Observations were fully prospective for treatment-naïve patients (60% of patients) and partiall

Development and Optimization of a Single Column Analog Model for a Multi-Column Counter-Current Solvent Gradient Purification Process

This contribution presents a modeling and optimization method for multi-column counter-current purification (MCSGP) processes. The model is based on conventional column models and by using the symmetric and cyclic steady state characteristics of the process a single column analog model was developed. The model have been used for dynamic optimization of the MCSGP process. The optimization was based

Characterization of male breast cancer : Results of the EORTC 10085/TBCRC/BIG/NABCG International Male Breast Cancer Program

Background: Male breast cancer (BC) is rare, managed by extrapolation from female BC. The International Male BC Program aims to better characterize and manage this disease. We report the results of part I, a retrospective joint analysis of cases diagnosed during a 20-year period. Methods: Patients with follow-up and tumor samples, treated between 1990 and 2010, in 93 centers/9 countries. Samples w
