Musculoskeletal health and frailty

Frailty is a consequence of advanced aging, where the frailty phenotype tries to capture overall decline in health. Frailty involves multiple physiological systems that are intrinsically inter-related and with highly complex interactions. Frailty is closely linked to musculoskeletal health; musculoskeletal functioning is a key component in quantifying frailty, while at the same time, frailty is as

Analysis of the Wtb vertex from the measurement of triple-differential angular decay rates of single top quarks produced in the t-channel at √s=8 TeV with the ATLAS detector

The electroweak production and subsequent decay of single top quarks in the t-channel is determined by the properties of the Wtb vertex, which can be described by the complex parameters of an effective Lagrangian. An analysis of a triple-differential decay rate in t-channel production is used to simultaneously determine five generalised helicity fractions and phases, as well as the polarisation of

CO Oxidation and Site Speciation for Alloyed Palladium-Platinum Model Catalysts Studied by in Situ FTIR Spectroscopy

In situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to study transient CO oxidation over a series of bimetallic Pd-Pt catalysts with different Pd:Pt molar ratios. The catalysts were found to contain both alloyed PdPt nanoparticles (particle sizes 25-35 nm) and monometallic Pd nanoparticles (sizes below 10 nm). For oxygen-free conditions, CO reduces the surface while simultaneously function as

Erythroid Culture Based on Differentiation of Progenitor Cells from Leftover Buffy Coats Produced in the Reveos Automated Blood Processing System

Background: Efforts to culture red blood cells (RBCs) for transfusion purposes are ongoing in numerous research laboratories worldwide. In addition, smaller-scale erythroid culture is one of many approaches toward better understanding of erythropoiesis, enucleation and RBC biology. Our center recently changed from traditional blood component separation to the Reveos(R) automated blood- processing

The particle ba in Mandarin Chinese as a pragmatic marker of weak commitment

The study of pragmatic markers attracts many scholars within the field of pragmatics, in particular in the area of radical pragmatics. Pragmatic markers are often perceived by speakers as having vague meanings that are hard to pin down in words. A pragmatic marker marker also often seem to contribute in different ways to the explicit or implicit message that the speaker wants to convey depending o

T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells display activation of different survival pathways

T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is a disease of the blood affecting T-lymphocytes. Although notable improvements have been achieved in T-ALL treatment, half of the adult T-ALL patients still experience treatment failure. In order to develop a targeted therapy, we need a better understanding of T-ALL pathogenesis. In this study, we used patient-derived cell lines which display resistanc

Differences in Nutritional and Health Status in School Children from the Highlands and Lowlands of Bolivia.

Children in the Bolivian Andes are exposed to endemic infections and meager nourishment, and live under poor hygienic conditions. The prevention of children malnutrition is a priority in many countries including Bolivia. In this study, the health status of schoolchildren in Taraco, a Puna district, at 4,000 meters above sea level (masl) and in Caranavi, at 650 masl in the wealthier subtropical val

Framgångsfaktorer vid bostadsbränder - sammanfattningsrapport

The report briefly summarizes the findings about success factors for residential fires in Sweden. Three main approaches have been used to investigate residential fires where the consequences have been small, i.e. the fire has been handled by the residents themselves or has self-extinguished. Factors facilitating these events have been identified using insurance statistics, national accident questi

Framgångsfaktorer vid bostadsbränder - en inventering av erfarenheter från svensk räddningstjänst

Success factors are identified for residential fires. Success factors are defined as aspects resulting in a positive outcome if a fire occurs in a home environment. The factors could be linked to the individual persons as well as to the society. The success factors have been identified using cluster analysis of statistical information and using interviews with rescue services personnel. The typica
