Influence of processing parameters, such as autoclaving and firing temperature, on the optical properties of nanocrystalline anatase TiO2 film and on the process of electron injection from the dye fluorescein 27 to the as-prepared films is studied. Transmission electron microscopy and steady-state and time-resolved femtosecond spectroscopy measurements indicate that the larger the TiO2 particle an

Flikstånds (Senecio erucifolius) är mycket sällsynt och rödlistad som Akut hotad i Sverige (Gärdenfors 2005). Den förekommer i gräsbevuxna fältkantzoner, vägkanter och sluttningar på jordbruksmark i Skåne. Även om många lokaler rapporterats i Skåne så är endast två lokala populationer kända idag, varav en minskar i storlek. De största hoten utgörs av habitatförstörelse (genom intensifierat jordbru

The treatment of prostatic carcinoma with estrogens is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular as well as thromboembolic complications. In the present study, patients harboring highly or moderately differentiated prostatic carcinoma without signs of metastases were treated with either polyestradiolphosphate + etinylestradiol, estramustine phosphate or given no treatment. Subsequently,

Signaling mechanisms for stretch-dependent growth and differentiation of vascular smooth muscle were investigated in mechanically loaded rat portal veins in organ culture. Stretch-dependent protein synthesis was found to depend on endogenous release of angiotensin II. Autoradiography after [35S]methionine incorporation revealed stretch-dependent synthesis of several proteins, of which SM22 and act

OBJECTIVES: To measure the impact on survival of being exposed to asbestos cement dust. METHODS: Survival of 866 asbestos cement workers and 755 controls was studied with Cox's proportional hazards regression models with age as the basic time variable. The effect of cumulative exposure up to the age of 40 was investigated in an internal analysis of 635 asbestos cement workers who had dose estimate

The partitioning behaviour of biotinylated mixed liposomes in aqueous poly(ethylene glycol)/dextran two-phase systems containing NeutrAvidin-dextran suggests that the biotin-NeutrAvidin affinity interaction is charge dependent. Biotinylated phosphatidylcholine liposomes with a low negative surface charge distributed in the NeutrAvidin-containing bottom phase at neutral pH, but the introduction of

The academic discourse on the need for a shared political public sphere at the level of the European Union has in recent years produced the conventional wisdom that such an emerging transnational community of communication is already observable in the mass media. However, the empirical indicators on which this notion is based tend to accommodate parallel national public spheres rather than a genui

The synthesis and characterization of the title trisphenolate ligand are described. From its reaction with manganese(iii) three complexes were isolated. The crystal structures revealed one pentacoordinate monomer and two similar dimers with different solvents of crystallization. In the dimers the metal ions are hexacoordinate and connected through bridging of two phenolates. A combination of elect
