Death, survival, and morphological development of hippocampal granule cells born in an inflammatory environment
The brain continues to form new neurons throughout life. This process of adult neurogenesis has been thoroughly documented in several species including birds, rodents and humans. Adult neurogenesis is not a global process, but is confined to two subcompartments of the brain; the subventricular zone lining the lateral ventricles, and the subgranular zone (SGZ) in the hippocampal formation. A variet
Spin-orbit-enhanced Wigner localization in quantum dots
We investigate quantum dots with Rashba spin-orbit coupling in the strongly-correlated regime. We show that the presence of the Rashba interaction enhances the Wigner localization in these systems, making it achievable for higher densities than those at which it is observed in Rashba-free quantum dots. Recurring shapes in the pair distribution functions of the yrast spectrum, which might be associ

Combinatorial nuclear level-density model
A microscopic nuclear level-density model is presented. The model is a completely combinatorial (micro-canonical) model based on the folded-Yukawa single-particle potential and includes explicit treatment of pairing, rotational and vibrational states. The microscopic character of all states enables extraction of level-distribution functions with respect to pairing gaps, parity and angular momentum
Pseudovirions in the Study of Papilloma- and Polyomaviruses
The papilloma- and polyomaviruses are small DNA viruses that infect humans. Some members of these virus families can cause cancer in experimental animals and some are also established as carcinogenic to humans. Detection of specific antibodies to these viruses allows tracking past and present infections to elucidate natural history and association of infection with subsequent disease. As there are
Delayed hospitalization increases mortality in displaced femoral neck fracture patients
Background and purpose Reports regarding the relationship between delayed surgery and mortality in femoral neck fracture patients are contradictory. We could not find any study in the literature investigating delayed arrival to hospital and delayed surgery as separate factors affecting mortality in femoral neck fracture patients, which was the purpose of our study. Patients and methods We analyzed
Parton Cascades, Small x, Multiple Interactions, and Saturation
In this paper I discuss the dynamics of particle production in high energy reactions. It includes parton cascades and hadronization in e(+)e(-)-annihilation, small x evolution including the Double Leading Log approximation and the BFKL equation, saturation at high densities and the BK equation, and finally the Lund Dipole Cascade model for high energy collisions, which is implemented in the DIPSY

Theory development in humanitarian logistics: a framework and three cases
Purpose – There is a need for theory development within the field of humanitarian logistics to understand logistics needs in different stages of a crisis and how to meet these. This paper aims to discuss three dimensions identified in logistics and organization theories and how they relate to three different cases of humanitarian logistics operations – the regional concept of the International Fed

Androgen receptor gene polymorphism and the metabolic syndrome in 60-80 years old Norwegian men
The metabolic syndrome (MS) includes a clustering of metabolic derangements. Low testosterone levels have been shown to be associated with both components of MS and MS per se. As most androgen-related effects are mediated thorough the androgen receptor (AR), we wanted to investigate to which degree the AR CAG and GGN repeat polymorphisms might be related to MS. Sixty-eight men, 60-80 years old, wi
Removal of Endocrine Disrupting Contaminants from Water Using Macroporous Molecularly Imprinted Selective Media
During recent decades we have witnessed growing scientific concern, public debate and media attention concerning the possible adverse effects on humans and wildlife that may result from exposure to a wide range of environmental contaminants. These contaminants are called endocrine disrupters, or endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) and are defined as chemicals that interfere with the function of
Preclinical imaging of prostate cancer using radiolabeled antibodies
Target-specific molecular imaging with radiolabeled antibodies has experienced a rapid growth over the past 20 years, and is now an essential tool to provide information on disease presence and extent. Despite all efforts to detect and control prostate cancer at an early stage, a number of men are still progressing to develop incurable metastatic disease. Because of this, development of new method
Effects of aerodynamic particle interaction in turbulent non-dilute particle-laden flow
Aerodynamic four-way coupling models are necessary to handle two-phase flows with a dispersed phase in regimes in which the particles are neither dilute enough to neglect particle interaction nor dense enough to bring the mixture to equilibrium. We include an aerodynamic particle interaction model within the framework of large eddy simulation together with Lagrangian particle tracking. The particl
Fabrication and characterization of AlP-GaP core-shell nanowires
We report on the particle assisted synthesis of core-shell AlP-GaP nanowires by use of metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy. The core-shell approach is chosen such as to stabilize the AlP which is highly sensitive to water. The nanowires were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy. These nanowires have an indirect band

Energy availability from livestock and agricultural productivity in Europe, 1815-1913: a new comparison
This article explores the proposition that a reason for high agricultural productivity in the early nineteenth century was relatively high energy availability from draught animals. The article is based on the collection of extensive new data indicating different trends in draught power availability and the efficiency of its use in different countries of Europe. This article shows that the proposit
Transfer analysis of 210Po and 210Pb in the terrestrial environment
The transfer of 210Po and 210Pb between various compartments in the terrestrial environment has been analysed by using various published data. The average activity concentration of 210Po in soil is 61 ± 14 Bq.kg-1 d.w. with a median (50%) value of 44 Bq.kg-1 d.w. Ground water concentrations of 210Po in drilled wells might be as high as 6.5 Bq/l. But in regular drinking water it is just about 3-5
