Scattering from a frequency selective surface supported by a bianisotropic substrate

In this paper a method for the analysis of a frequency selective surface (FSS) supported by a bianisotropic substrate is presented. The frequency selective structure is a thin metallic pattern — the actual FSS — on a plane supporting substrate. Integral representations of the fields in combination with the method of moments carried out in the spatial Fourier domain are shown to be a fruitful way of

Evaluation and Documentation through Participatory Scriptwriting

I have documented creativity workshops and collected ethnographic data for evaluation purpose through a method I call participatory scriptwriting. The main purpose with the method has been to reach an understanding of how the participants perceive their reality through synthesizing their impressions of the workshops in a short manuscript. When the workshop has ended they have acted according to th

Targeting autophagy potentiates tyrosine kinase inhibitor-induced cell death in Philadelphia chromosome-positive cells, including primary CML stem cells

Imatinib mesylate (IM), a potent inhibitor of the BCR/ABL tyrosine kinase, has become standard first-line therapy for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), but the frequency of resistance increases in advancing stages of disease. Elimination of BCR/ABL-dependent intracellular signals triggers apoptosis, but it is unclear whether this activates additional cell survival and/or death pathways

Clinical experiments for Huntington's disease : Recommendations to medical researchers regarding how to inform potential participants

Huntington's disease (HD) is a severe, genetic brain disorder that causes great suffering and leads to an early death. The medical research team in the project Treatments of the Future at Lund University aims to develop a new molecular gene therapeutic method that will give the possibility to cure the disease. The authors’, social- and cultural scientists, mission is to develop recommendations for

Monotonicity and reasoning with exceptions

A proposal by Ferguson [2003, Argumentation 17, 335-346] for a fully monotonic argument form allowing for the expression of defeasible generalizations is critically examined and rejected as a general solution. It is argued that (i) his proposal reaches less than the default-logician's solution allows, e.g., the monotonously derived conclusion is one-sided and itself not defeasible. (ii) when appli

Research priorities for HIV/M. tuberculosis co-infection

This document summarizes priority areas for joint research and concerted actions to counteract the public health threat of AIDS/TB as identified within the European Support Action "EUCO-Net" funded under the 7th Framework Programme of the European Commission.

Antiretroviral resistance at virological failure in the NEAT 001/ANRS 143 trial: Raltegravir plus darunavir/ritonavir or tenofovir/emtricitabine plus darunavir/ritonavir as first-line ART

Objectives: To describe the pattern of drug resistance at virological failure in the NEAT001/ANRS143 trial (first-line treatment with ritonavir-boosted darunavir plus either tenofovir/emtricitabine or raltegravir). Methods: Genotypic testing was performed at baseline for reverse transcriptase (RT) and protease genes and for RT, protease and integrase (IN) genes for patients with a confirmed viral

6-Hydroxydopamine induced degeneration of noradrenaline neurons in the scorbutic guinea-pig

The effect of the neurotoxic compound 6-hydroxydopamine and its immediate precursor 6-hydroxy-DOPA on noradrenaline uptake and storage in central and peripheral catecholamine neurons of scorbutic and normal guinea-pigs has been investigated. Endogenous noradrenaline in heart and brain as well as the in vitro uptake-accumulation of 3H-noradrenaline in iris and slices of heart and brain were not sig
