Homozygous alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT)deficiency (PiZZ) is known to predispose to emphysema and chronic liver disease (CLD). The overall aim of the studies upon which this thesis is based was to investigate extra-pulmonary disease manifestations of AAT deficiency with special reference to hepatic and vasculitic disorders. Both men and women with homozygous AAT deficiency were shown to be at increas

Recent research on creativity and aging is described and discussed from different angles, foremost in the psychodynamic and neuropsychological domains.

As new therapeutic areas in which genetic material is employed, i.e. gene therapy and DNA vaccination, are expanding, a substantial increase in the demand for gene vectors, e.g. plasmid DNA, is foreseen.

The decision depth for finite and infinite partial response signaling (PRS) schemes is investigated. New measures are proposed that take into account error event multiplicity. We conclude that small to moderate decoder decision depths achieve performance near MLSE even for near catastrophic codes. Under some constraints, the decision depth should be an increasing function of the signal to noise ra
