Handbok i 3 delar (1. Allmän del. 2. Värmelager. 3. Naturvärmekällor) som behandlar termiska analyser av markvärmesystem - energikälla eller energilager. Värmesystemet kan vara jord, berg eller grundvatten. Värmeförluster och andra termiska prestanda, temperaturpåverkan på omgivningen, lämpliga röravstånd, brunnskonfigurationer, återladdning m m behandlas.

Determination of D-arabinitol/L-arabinitol ratios (referred to as D/L-arabinitol ratios) in urine as a tool for the diagnosis of invasive candidiasis was investigated in a prospective study comprising 100 children with cancer. The analyses were made by gas chromatography. Positive D/L-arabinitol ratios were found for 10 of 10 children with confirmed invasive candidiasis, 12 of 23 patients undergoi

Abstract in French Description. Afin d'orienter les recherches futures dans les domaines des aides techniques et des questions liées à l'environnement physique, il est important de bien comprendre les études menées précédemment. But. Cette recension des écrits avait pour but de déterminer la manière selon laquelle les aides techniques et les questions touchant l'environnement physique ont été étudBackground. To determine future directions for research in the area of assistive technology and physical environmental issues, it is important to have an understanding of prior research. Purpose. This literature review examined how assistive technology and physical environmental issues have been studied in the research published in international peer-reviewed occupational therapy journals. Method.

This study investigates the importance of implant surface topography on soft tissue response. The tissue response in the rat abdominal wall to discs of low density polyethylene with smooth to coarse surfaces was evaluated after one, six or 12 weeks. Capsule thickness and immunohistochemical quantification of monocytes-macrophages were used as measures. The macrophage specific antibody ED1 was used

Objective: The aim of the present population-based study was to assess the trends of age- and gender-specific incidence of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA). Methods. Patients with rAAA from the city of Malmo, Sweden, were studied between 2000 and 2004. An analysis of trends of incidence and mortality of rAAA in Malmo was possible because of a previous population-based study on patients wi

A head and neck cancer specific questionnaire module designed to be used in quality of life assessments before, during, and after radiotherapy and surgery, with or without combinations with chemotherapy has been developed in accordance with guidelines given by the EORTC Quality of Life Study Group. Relevant issues were generated by means of literature search, and interviews with specialists and pa

Background: During fetal hypoxia blood is redistributed to the brain ('brain-sparing'). Sequential changes of the cerebral and placental circulation in parallel in comparisons between basal conditions and acute hypoxic stress have not yet been thoroughly studied in human fetuses. Aim: To explore acute fetal middle cerebral artery (MCA) circulatory changes relative to umbilical artery (UA) blood fl

The nominal species Mosasaurus ivoensis from the latest early Campanian of the Kristianstad Basin in southern Sweden, is redescribed and assigned to the tylosaurine genus Tylosaurus on the basis of its dental and vertebral morphology. A partial skeleton (KUVP 1024) from the late Coniacian to earliest Campanian Smoky Hill Chalk Member of the Niobrara Formation in western Kansas, USA, was previously

Model studies of photosynthetic carbohydrate formation in the chloroplast of C3 plants have been performed to examine the expected response of the steady-state reaction flux to finite changes in concentration or activity of individual enzymes in a central metabolic network. The results indicate that flux control coefficients in this system cannot be reliably estimated experimentally even for the t
