Contribution of pseudogenes to sequence diversity.

Pseudogenes are very common in the genomes of a wide range of organisms and, although they were originally considered as genetic junk, now several functions have been attributed to them. One important function of pseudogenes, as discussed in this chapter, is to provide material for genetic diversity. This is most prominent in the case of immunological recognition molecules such as immunoglobulins

Ultrasonic energy for cutting, coagulating, and dissecting.

With a new surgical instrument, a haemostatic dissecting tool driven by ultrasonic energy, different surgical procedures is described within the neck, the chest, and abdomen both for open and laparo- and thoracoscopic procedures. Also orthopedic procedures are described. I also wrote the chapter 5: Esophageal resection with the Ultracision blade and shears.

Simulation of Hcci-Addressing Compression Ratio and Turbocharging

This paper focuses on the performance and efficiency of an HCCI (Homogenous Charge Compression Ignition) engine system running on natural gas or landfill gas for stationary applications. Zero-dimensional modelling and simulation of the engine, turbo, inlet and exhaust manifolds and inlet air conditioner (intercooler/heater) are used to study the effect of compression ratio and exhaust turbine size

The NorduGrid: Building a Production Grid in Scandinavia

The aim of the NorduGrid project is to build and operate a production Grid infrastructure in Scandinavia and Finland. The innovative middleware solutions allowed setting up a working testbed, which connects a dynamic set of computing resources by providing uniform access to them. The resources range from small test clusters at academic institutions to large farms at several supercomputer centers.

Measurements of oscillator strenghts in Zr II and Cr II

Experimental oscillator strenghts (f-values) for lines in Zr II and Cr II have been determined using branching fractions (BFs) and radiative lifetimes. Experimental log gf-values for 263 spectral lines in Zr II have been derived by combining previously measured lifetimes with new BFs measured on the Lund UV Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS). The oscillator strengths have been used to determine

Predictors of long-term cognitive outcome in Alzheimer's disease.

Introduction: The objective of this study was to describe the longitudinal cognitive outcome in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and analyze factors that affect the outcome, including the impact of different cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEI). Methods: In an open, three-year, nonrandomized, prospective, multicenter study, 843 patients were treated with donepezil, rivastigmine, or galantamine in a routine cl
