A major problem in the design of combustion equipment is to prevent the occurrence of combustion instabilities. Combustion instabilities appear as periodic oscillations in pressure and heat release through a feedback mechanism between the fluid dynamics and the combustion process. These oscillations may induce e.g. mechanical vibrations and increased heat transfer, leading to poor performance or e

Context: Limited data are available exploring the associations between sex hormones, multiple domains of sexual functioning, and sexual function-related distress in nonpatient samples in Europe. Objectives: The aim of the study was to investigate the relationships between serum testosterone (T), estradiol (E2), and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and sexual function in a multicenter population-based stu

Archaeologists routinely deal with the remains of everyday life. Yet the significance and dimensions of daily practices are rarely reflected upon. Merging Bourdieu’s theory of practice, recent theories of everyday life and the materiality approach in archaeology, this study addresses the potential importance of daily practices and mundane objects in dealing with a rupture caused by migration. As a

Nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) is a solid-state radio frequency (RF) spectroscopic technique, allowing the detection of compounds containing quadrupolar nuclei, a requirement fulfilled by many high explosives and narcotics. The practical use of NQR is restricted by the inherently low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the observed signals, a problem that is further exacerbated by the presence of s

The recently finished EU funded project MACIS reviewed observed and projected climate change impacts on biodiversity. It assessed mitigation and adaptation options. It also reviewed and developed methods to assess future impacts of climate change on biodiversity including the identification of policy options to prevent and minimise these impacts.

Management of oropharyngeal swallowing dysfunction often requires both a clinical and an instrumental examination. A videofluoroscopic swallowing study is an instrumental examination that often could be a good option and a very useful tool for the swallowing clinician. At Skåne University Hospital, Malmö, Sweden, the name of such examination is therapeutic videoradiographic swallowing study (TVSS)

Parents are the primary support providers for adolescents with disabilities, their health and wellbeing is therefore of great importance when planning for youths' transition into adulthood. The aim of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of how parents of adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP) experience their own health and wellbeing and their needs for support during the adolescent's tran

Vildagliptin is a potent, selective and reversible inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4), the enzyme responsible for rapid inactivation of the incretin hormones glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP). GLP-1 and GIP are important for the maintenance of normal glucose homeostasis as they enhance the sensitivity of insulin (beta-cell) and glucagon (alpha-cell)
