När gränsöverskridande transaktioner företas på Internet kan frågor uppkomma rörande domstolars behörighet och vilket lands lag som är tillämplig. På vilket sätt bör de etablerade internationellt privaträttsliga reglerna tillämpas för att ge svar på dessa frågor? I artikeln diskuteras frågorna med specifik utgångspunkt i de särskilda skyddsregler som är tänkta att i en större utsträckning ge konsu

The ability to predict cross-shore profile response to coastal overwash is important for both understanding how barrier islands respond to overwash and for disaster management on developed coastlines. This study establishes morphologic and hydrodynamic parameters for predicting the type of cross-shore profile response following overwash for given pre-storm profile and storm conditions.

Recently, chemists and physicists in the Joint Working Party (JWP) have approved the new elements, but what is the significance and how can we make use of elements that exist so fleetingly?

Context: IGF-I and IGF binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) are essential for growth and maturation of the developing brain. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between postnatal serum concentrations of IGF-I and IGFBP-3 and brain volumes at term in very preterm infants. Design: Fifty-one infants with a mean (sd) gestational age (GA) of 26.4 (1.9) wk and birth weight (BW) of 88

We describe a case of encephalopathy in Which the clinical picture and triphasic waves in the EEG indicated a metabolic cause. However, the illness was caused by neuroborreliosis. The occurrence of triphasic waves in the EEG is a strong evidence of metabolic encephalopathy, but triphasic waves are not specific for metabolic encephalopathy. Triphasic waves have been described in a number of non-met

A harmonic oscillator topology displaying an improved phase noise performance is introduced in this paper. Exploiting the advantages yielded by operating the core transistors in class-C, a theoretical 3.9 dB phase noise improvement compared to the standard differential-pair LC-tank oscillator is achieved for the same current consumption. Further benefits derive from the natural rejection of the ta

BACKGROUND: Beta-microseminoprotein, an abundant component in prostatic fluid, is encoded by the potential tumor suppressor gene MSMB. Some New World monkeys carry several copies of this gene, in contrast to most mammals, including humans, which have one only. Here we have investigated the background for the species difference by analyzing the chromosomal organization and expression of MSMB in the

BACKGROUND: The use of global gene expression profiling is a well established approach to understand biological processes. One of the major goals of these investigations is to identify sets of genes with similar expression patterns. Such gene signatures may be very informative and reveal new aspects of particular biological processes. A logical and systematic next step is to reduce the identified

We have recently described the immunosuppressive properties of AR-C117977 and AR-C122982, representatives of a group of compounds identified as inhibitors of lactate transporters (monocarboxylate transporters; MCTs). These compounds demonstrate the potential therapeutic usefulness of inhibiting MCT-1, but their physical and metabolic properties made them unsuitable for further development. We have

Objective. To perform a survey of thiopurine treatment in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) among Swedish gastroenterologists. Material and methods. A web-based questionnaire consisting of 25 multiple-choice questions was sent to 322 gastroenterologists in adult practice. Results. A total of 132 questionnaires were received giving a response rate of 41%. Thiopurines were used by all 122 gastroenter
