Physical activity in persons with late effects of polio

Physical activity is beneficial for the health of persons with disabilities but the levels of such activity are lower than for persons without disability. In addition the level of physical activity decreases with increasing age. For persons aging with a disability it may be a challenge to engage in physical activity, partly because of the disability and partly because of contextual barriers. One g

Extrapolation-Based References Improve Motion and Eddy-Current Correction of High B-Value DWI Data: Application in Parkinson's Disease Dementia.

Conventional motion and eddy-current correction, where each diffusion-weighted volume is registered to a non diffusion-weighted reference, suffers from poor accuracy for high b-value data. An alternative approach is to extrapolate reference volumes from low b-value data. We aim to compare the performance of conventional and extrapolation-based correction of diffusional kurtosis imaging (DKI) data,

Jet production in ep collisions at low Q(2) and determination of alpha(s)

The production of jets is studied in deep-inelastic e(+) p scattering at low negative four momentum transfer squared 5 < Q(2) < 100 GeV2 and at inelasticity 0.2 < y < 0.7 using data recorded by the H1 detector at HERA in the years 1999 and 2000, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 43.5 pb(-1). Inclusive jet, 2-jet and 3-jet cross sections as well as the ratio of 3-jet to 2-jet cross secti

New shape minimum in Yb-160: Evidence for a triaxial, strongly deformed band

A high-spin rotational band was observed in the N=90 nucleus Yb-160 with moment of inertia and decay characteristics very similar to recently discovered sequences in Er-157,Er-158. These latter structures were discussed in terms of strongly deformed triaxial bands. Detailed cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations were performed that predict that well-deformed triaxial structures are also expected

Performance of the AGATA Gamma-ray Spectrometer in the PreSPEC Set-up at GSI

In contemporary nuclear physics, the European Advanced GAmma Tracking Array (AGATA) represents a crucial detection system for cutting-edge nuclear structure studies. AGATA consists of highly segmented high-purity germanium crystals and uses the pulse-shape analysis technique to determine both the position and the energy of the γ-ray interaction points in the crystals. It is the tracking algorithms

Osmotic pressure: resisting or promoting DNA ejection from phage?

Recent in vitro experiments have shown that DNA ejection from bacteriophage can be partially stopped by surrounding osmotic pressure when ejected DNA is digested by DNase I in the course of ejection. In this work, we argue by a combination of experimental techniques (osmotic suppression without DNase I monitored by UV absorbance, pulse-field electrophoresis, and cryo-transmission electron microsco

Integration of HIV and cervical cancer screening perceptions of healthcare providers and policy makers in Uganda

Background: HIV-positive women have an increased risk of developing cervical cancer (CC) compared to the HIV-negative women. Despite this, HIV and CC screening programs in many developing countries have remained disintegrated. Therefore, the objective of the study was to explore perceptions of healthcare providers (HCP) and policy makers (PM) about integration of HIV and CC screening services in U

Lokala handlingsstrategier för skäliga levnadsvillkor - reflektioner utifrån Malmökommissionens studier om försörjningsstödet och barns fattigdom.

Artikeln fokuserar på lokala handlingsstrategier för att tillförsäkra skäliga levnadsvillkor och lyfter även fram reflektioner utifrån Malmökommissionens studier om försörjningsstödets funktion och räckvidd med fokus på familjers och barns ekonomiska utsatthet. Den ökade inkomstojämliketen tillsammans med en hög andel Malmöbors osäkra eller obefintliga ställning på den reglerade arbetsmarknaden oc

αTubulin 67C and Ncd Are Essential for Establishing a Cortical Microtubular Network and Formation of the Bicoid mRNA Gradient in Drosophila.

The Bicoid (Bcd) protein gradient in Drosophila serves as a paradigm for gradient formation in textbooks. To explain the generation of the gradient, the ARTS model, which is based on the observation of a bcd mRNA gradient, proposes that the bcd mRNA, localized at the anterior pole at fertilization, migrates along microtubules (MTs) at the cortex to the posterior to form a bcd mRNA gradient which i

Physiological aspects of the glomerular filtration barrier

Proteinuria is associated with progression of kidney disease and is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The pathophysiological alterations resulting in proteinuria are obscure, although proteinuria is often associated with pathological changes in the glomerular filtration barrier (GFB). It is therefore of great interest to study the physiology of the GFB, in orde

Adiabatic connections and properties of coupling-integrated exchange-correlation holes and pair densities in density functional theory

We demonstrate a method that likely will improve the accuracy of functionals used in density functional theory and pair density functional theory. In deriving the method we show that the coupling-integrated exchange-correlation hole used in density functional theory obeys all the N-representability conditions as non-integrated holes and we give two such conditions, not normally used by the density

Socialförsäkringar och globalisering

Globaisering ställer krav på socialförsäkringar som ger ett gott skydd, men även på en design som främjar rörlighet. Rapporten analyserar hur socialförsäkringar bör utformas för att ge effektivitets- och fördelningsvinster.

ATLAS Run 1 searches for direct pair production of third-generation squarks at the Large Hadron Collider.

This paper reviews and extends searches for the direct pair production of the scalar supersymmetric partners of the top and bottom quarks in proton-proton collisions collected by the ATLAS collaboration during the LHC Run 1. Most of the analyses use 20 [Formula: see text] of collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of [Formula: see text] TeV, although in some case an additional [Formula: see text] of
