Physiological and biochemical aspects of vegetable processing. A case study on carrots

The aim of the present study was to enhance our understanding of vegetables as living organisms, interacting dynamically with the environment, and to explore the possible influence of metabolic changes on subsequent processing operations. Growing conditions, harvesting and handling in the packing house and storage conditions are key events leading to a defined “physiological status” of the vegetab

Corporate innovation and competitive environment

Empirical studies have shown that the characteristics of the competitive environment influence the corporate innovation activities of U.S. firms. This study attempts to internationalize these studies in two ways. First, it examines the environment-corporate innovation relationship in Norwegian manufacturing firms. Second, it examines how the firms’ corporate innovation activities are influenced by

Animal mouthpieces for human properties and indentity - A Scandinavian perspective

Peoples' relations to animals and their various roles took many different expressions in the pre-Christian era. In certain contexts animals had practical functions, but others they also had symbolic values. Domsticated animals were a kind of life style metaphors in grave rituals. Wild animals and transformation between humans and animals in pictorial images signified social identity. The archaeolo

Lead in blood. ICP-MS studies of lead in plasma, blood and erythrocyte proteins

Popular Abstract in Swedish BLY I BLOD. ICP-MS-studier av bly i plasma, blod och erythrocyt-proteiner De flesta studier som har gjorts av blys giftighet är grundade på blyhalten i blod, och man vet idag mycket om vilka halter som är förknippade med olika skador. Cirka 99% av blyet i blod finns i de röda blodkropparna, medan plasma vanligen innehåller mindre än 1%. Man har länge trott att anledninAn inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) method for the determination of lead in blood plasma has been developed. The detection limit was below 0.1 microgram/liter, and the precision 5%. There was no significant difference between levels in plasma and serum. Studies of individuals with varying lead exposure showed that in the general population the plasma concentrations were less t
