The physiological characteristics of native and bacterial exopolysaccharides (EPS) in oats and barley-based fermented products were studied in relation to the physico-chemical properties. Article I presents a parallel-randomized double blind clinical trial using a dairy-based product (control), an oat-based product (fermented with V2, which is a mixture (1:1) of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. Bu

Popular Abstract in Swedish Den kemiskt enkla föreningen cis-[PtCl2(NH3)2)] (cisplatin) används för behandling av vissa cancerformer. Föreningen är i allmänhet giftig för kroppens organ och kroppen utvecklar resistens, vilket begränsar den kliniska effektiviteten. Generellt anses det att den önskade anticancer-effekten fås som ett resultat av inbindningen av platinakomplexen till DNA, medan interaIn this thesis reductions of model and anticancer active Pt(IV) complexes with thiols and ascorbic acid and substitution reactions of cisplatin and model Pt(II) complexes with S-donor nucleophiles (rescue agents) have been investigated using stopped-flow and UV/VIS spectrophotometry. Glutathione (GSH) reduction of the anticancer active Pt(IV) compounds t- and c-[PtCl4(cha)(NH3)] (cha = cyclohexyla

Quantum measurement theory has a peculiar nature with its TWO processes of assertibility, by proof and by measurement, which is beyond formal logic. This two-sortedness with respect to assertibility is discussed in terms of developments of many--sorted logics, sometimes referred to as Logica Magna. Although useful insights are obtained this way, we argue that there is a nonseparability of inferrib

This volume contains a comprehensive evaluation of the hypthesis that the Gospel of Mark has been influenced by the theology of the apostle Paul. It discusses the history of this view from the nineteenth Century to the modern day, analyses possible historical Connections between the apostle and the evangelist, and compares and contrasts many major theological themes in both the epistles and the Go

Magnetic fields play a central role in the atmospheric properties and variability of active M dwarfs. Information on the strength and structure of magnetic fields in these objects is vital for understanding dynamo mechanisms and magnetically-driven activity of low-mass stars, and for constraining theories of star formation and evolution. We have initiated the first systematic high-resolution surve

The capacity of somatic cells and pollen grains or microspores to undergo embryogenesis is an important property used in improvement and regeneration of plants. Furthermore, somatic embryogenesis as well as pollen embryogenesis show many similarities with zygotic embryogenesis and are, thus, good model systems. Pollen suspensions of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) contain a mixture of embryogenic a

Boken börjar med katastrofen 1809, då den svenska kyrkan miste mer än en fjärdedel av sina medlemmar genom att Finland avträddes. Den nya regeringsformen med nya formuleringar om samvetsfrihet fick stor betydelse under hela 1800-talet. Med romantiken följde en ny känsla för det historiska, för Kristusgestalten och för trons liv. Kontrasterna mellan ljus och mörker var gemensamma för romantiken och

This paper considers a class of control problems where there is a need to find switching-sequences between different linear systems, as well as linear control laws, to minimize some quadratic cost function. An algorithm to optimize the switching sequences for a class of switched linear problems is presented. The algorithm searches for solutions which are arbitrarily close to optimal finding the op
