Proton and Electron Microprobe Analysis of Human Skin

In order to demonstrate the feasibility of the proton microprobe in the analysis of dermatological material when a spatial resolution of a few micrometres is sufficient and to compare it with the electron microprobe technique, duplicate sections of human skin have been analysed with both methods. A skin sample was obtained from each of three healthy volunteers. After cryosectioning (12 μm) and fre

Quality control of MHC class I maturation

Assembly of MHC class I molecules in the ER is regulated by the so-called loading complex (LC). This multiprotein complex is of definite importance for class I maturation, but its exact organization and order of assembly are not known. Evidence implies that the quality of peptides loaded onto class I molecules is controlled at multiple stages during MHC class I assembly. We recently found that tap

Effects of whey proteins on glycaemia and insulinaemia to an oral glucose load in healthy adults; a dose-response study.

Background/Objectives:Whey proteins have insulinogenic properties and the effect appears to be mediated from a postprandial plasma amino-acid (AA) response. The aim was to study the possible dose-response relationship between whey intake and glycaemic-, insulinaemic- and plasma AA responses.Subjects/Methods:Twelve healthy volunteers participated in the study. They were provided three whey protein

The effect of asset visibility on managing returnable transport items

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to propose a framework of the potential benefits of asset visibility in the context of returnable transport items (RTI), and uses the framework to examine the effect of asset visibility on the management of RTI systems. Design/methodology/approach – A combined case study and simulation approach was used. A case study was performed to identify and understand

Search for strong production of supersymmetric particles in final states with missing transverse momentum and at least three b-jets at root s=8 TeV proton-proton collisions with the ATLAS detector

This paper reports the results of a search for strong production of supersymmetric particles in 20.1 fb(-1) of proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV using the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The search is performed separately in events with either zero or at least one high-p (T) lepton (electron or muon), large missing transverse momentum, high jet multiplicity and at least three

Leisure activities in rheumatoid arthritis: Change after disease onset and associated factors

The objective of this investigation was to examine the relationship between leisure-time occupations, quality of life disease activity among patientswith rheumatoid arthritis. Fifty patients with rheumatoid arthritis-39 females and 11 males, age 30-45 years and belonging to functional class I-III according to Steinbrocker er al (1949)-were recuited from the register at a hospital clinic and from a

Exercise-induced rib stress fractures: influence of reduced bone mineral density

Exercise-induced rib stress fractures have been reported frequently in elite rowers during the past decade. The etiology of rib stress fractures is unclear, but low bone mineral density (BMD) has been suggested to be a potential risk factor for stress fractures in weight-bearing bones. The present study investigated BMD in seven Danish national team rowers with previous rib stress fracture (RSF) a

Drug-related problems in the elderly - Interventions to improve the quality of pharmacotherapy

Popular Abstract in Swedish Läkemedelsrelaterade problem hos äldre - Interventioner för att förbättra läkemedelsbehandlingen Läkare inom primärvården står för en stor del av den totala läkemedelsförskrivningen i Sverige och är en viktig målgrupp för läkemedelsindustrins information. Det har i flera uppmärksammade studier från Socialstyrelsen uppmärksammats att läkemedelsbehandlingen för patientIntroduction: Elderly people, in particular those residing in nursing homes, often use many drugs. In general elderly patients are at greater risk of experiencing drug-related problems (DRP), as they have multiple diseases, are using many drugs and have changed physiological status. Objectives: To describe the frequency of potential drug-related problems in the elderly and to evaluate different k

Study of inclusive J/psi production in two-photon collisions at LEP II with the DELPHI detector

Inclusive J/psi production in photon-photon collisions has been observed at LEP II beam energies. A clear signal from the reaction gammagamma --> J/psi + X is seen. The number of observed N(J/psi --> mu(+)mu(-)) events is 36+/-7 for an integrated luminosity of 617 pb(-1), yielding a cross-section of sigma(J/psi + X) = 45+/-9(stat) +/- 17(syst) pb. Based on a study of the event shapes of different

Gas Diffusion Through Sheets of Fibrous Porous Media

Using a cell model to describe a fibrous porous medium theoretical expressions ale deduced relating effective gas diffusivity to the volume fraction of the fibres. Cylindrical as well as band-shaped fibres are studied. The new models, which are based on solutions to the diffusion equation, agree well with existing correlations. The models are compared with experimental data for water vapour diffus

Optical properties of a silver-related defect in silicon

Doping crystalline silicon with silver results in a photoluminescence center with multiplet zero-phonon structure near 778.9 meV. We show that the published assignments of the vibronic sidebands are wrong, with severe implications for the relative transition probabilities of the luminescence transitions from the excited states. At low temperature, most of the luminescence intensity derives from th

Ett mögelsäkrare kryprum med konventionell teknik

Denna seminarieuppsats påvisar dels de avsevärda risker för mögelpåväxt som föreligger vid normala kryprum kombinerade med bjälklag i trä samt dels en enkel metod att stävja problemen nämligen medelst markisolering i kryprummet bestående av lättklinker.

Sensor fusion as a tool to monitor dynamic dairy processes

A system for monitoring milk and fat concentration in a dynamic milk/water system by fusing information from several sensors was investigated. Standard instrumentation for food production was used, the sensors were a conductivity meter, a density meter and an optical instrument used to measure backscattered light. The system was applied to a dynamic mixing situation. Prediction error did not excee
