Echelle mode spectra obtained with the Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph onboard the Hubble Space Telescope have been used to determine the abundances of the heavy elements Pt, Au, and Hg in the chemically peculiar HgMn-type stars kappa Cancri and chi Lupi. The abundances were determined by fitting observed line profiles with synthetically generated spectra and are found to be enhanced relative

A general formalism for Metabolic Control Analysis is derived using general sensitivity analysis and structural information of the metabolic pathway inherent in the stoichiometry matrix. The equations derived provide a general procedure for calculating the control coefficients from the elasticity coefficients using matrix algebra, and is valid for any pathway stoichiometry. The procedure diminishe

Popular Abstract in Swedish Benskörhet (osteoporos) är en sjukdom som karaktäriseras av låg benmassa och försämrad benkvalitet, en sjukdom som leder till ökad risk för frakturer. Benskörhetsfrakturer uppkommer vanligen i handleder, axelleder, kotor, bäckenben, höftleder och knäleder. Frakturerna drabbar kvinnor oftare än män, något som till stor del beror på att nivåerna av det kvinnliga könshormoThe aim of this thesis was to identify the influence of calcium, physical activity and detraining on bone mass and bone size in girls and young women. We hypothesised that calcium intake above a specific level does not enhance the accrual of bone mineral, that exercise predominantly influences the skeleton in the early pubertal period and that reduced training is followed by a loss of exercise-ind

Choline acetyltransferase activity was demonstrated in the proximal part of the male rat urethra, indicating a cholinergic innervation of this tissue. The cholinergic nerve fibres emanated evidently from the pelvic nerves, since bilateral removal of the pelvic ganglion caused a major fall in the activity of this enzyme. The muscle activity of the circular layer of the proximal urethra was recorded

Purpose: To describe the phenotype using electroretinography and optical coherence tomography (OCT) in members of two families with different mutations in RDS. Methods: DNA was extracted from blood samples and used for mutation screening by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and nucleotide sequencing of RDS exons. Patients were examined with clinical evaluation, full-field electroreti

Popular Abstract in Swedish 'Ordekvilibristen Anthony Burgess firar triumfer i sin nya bok' - 'Nadine Gordimer har sällan skrivit en mer förtätad prosa'. Kritikerberömmet ger intrycket att Burgess och Gordimer har skrivit sina böcker direkt på svenska. I själva verket har de svenska formuleringarna åstadkommits av en översättare. I föreliggande avhandling undersöker jag vad som händer när ett sköWhose text is a work of fiction in translation? The aim of this thesis is to examine what happens to a novel when it is translated from one language into another. By analysing the Swedish translations of six contemporary novels written in English I attempt to identify what I refer to as the translator´s voice. The translations have been made by two of Sweden´s most highly thought-of translators, E

Structural and mechanical adaptations in response to sustained changes in arterial pressure were studied on abdominal aorta of the male rat. Two models were used: 1. Aortic ligature (L), immediately below the renal arteries producing hypotension distal to the knot (duration before sacrifice 6 weeks or 3 months). 2. One-clip renal hypertensive rats (H) (duration 6 weeks). Normotensive sham-operated

Concerning André Mollet's Lustgård (1651)

A list of 1719 chemical compounds identified from headspace samples of floral scent is presented. The list has been compiled from some 270 published papers, including analyses of 991 species of flowering plants and a few gymnosperms, a sample including seed plants from 90 families and 38 orders. The compounds belong to seven major compound classes, of which the aliphatics, the benzenoids and pheny
