The histaminergic effect on electrically induced contractions and tritium release was studied in vitro, using strips from the wall of mature bovine ovarian follicles. Follicular fluid and blood plasma from the animals were analysed for electrolyte, bicarbonate, glucose and total protein concentrations in order to compare them with the concentrations of these components in the Krebs-Ringer solution

We present a phenomenological parametrization of the phase diagram of QCD as a function of temperature T and baryochemical potential µ. The parametrization is constructed by introducing a switching function which controls the nature of the transition between the Hadron-Resonance Gas (HRG) and Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) phases of nuclear matter, such that the equation of state (EOS) possesses a rapid

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified 45 susceptibility loci associated with lung cancer. Only less than SNPs, small insertions and deletions (INDELs) are the second most abundant genetic polymorphisms in the human genome. INDELs are highly associated with multiple human diseases, including lung cancer. However, limited studies with large-scale samples have been available to syste

Finns det organisatoriska och finansiella faktorer som påverkar VA-organisationernas förmåga att planera och genomföra investeringar? En undersökning av budget och utfall för VA-investeringar åren 2015−2017 och planerade investeringar för åren 2018−2021 visar att det är viktigt att det fi nns god tillgång på kompetens i kommunen samt att mindre kommuner drar fördel av att samverka.

In this study the strain rate effects on the tensile and compressive properties of nano-crystalline nanoporous gold (nc-NPAu) are investigated by performing molecular dynamics simulations. In order to examine the role of strain rate,atomistic models of nc-NPAu structures with three different grain size are generated through a novel modeling technique based on the Voronoi tessellation method.

Standard treatment for glioblastoma (GBM) patients is surgery and radiochemotherapy (RCT) with temozolomide (TMZ). TMZ is a substrate for ABCB1, a transmembrane drug transporter. It has been suggested that survival for GBM patients receiving TMZ is influenced by different single-nucleotide variants (SNV) of ABCB1. We therefore examined SNV:s of ABCB1, namely 1199G>A, 1236C>T, 2677G>T/A, and 3435C>

The similarity of in-situ and ex-situ absorption/extinction properties was found by comparing data sets obtained in premixed flat ethylene flames (C/O = 0.77); both ex-situ absorption measurements at CNR of Naples and in-situ laser extinction/absorption measurements at Lund University. The optical band gap analysis was performed as a method to separate/evaluate the contributions to the UV–Visible

We continue our study of weighted harmonic functions. The emphasis is put on properties of conformal invariance and associated Green functions. A classical result of Littlewood about pointwise limits almost everywhere of Green potentials of measures in the disc is, as far as the unit disc is concerned, generalized to the full scale of Green potentials considered.

Den här studien bidrar med sina resultat till kunskapen kring hur kommuner arbetar med krishantering, ett område som tidigare studier visat kräver mer forskning (Choi och Brower, 2006; Marschall, 2015; Jarman et al., 2000; Mullin och Rubado, 2017). Den här studien bidrar även med kunskap kring hur kommuner kan samverka såväl inom den egna organisationen som med andra aktörer över organisatoriska g

Mechanical stimuli, such as wind, rain, and touch affect plant development, growth, pest resistance, and ultimately reproductive success. Using water spray to simulate rain, we demonstrate that jasmonic acid (JA) signaling plays a key role in early gene-expression changes, well before it leads to developmental changes in flowering and plant architecture. The JA-activated transcription factors MYC2

The Baltic Sea is naturally prone to hypoxia, but the frequency and extent have increased multifold over the last century. Hypoxia manifests itself as perennial in the open central part, seasonal at the entrance area, and episodic at many coastal sites, and the expression of hypoxia is largely driven by differences in bottom water residence times and stratification patterns. Enhanced nutrient inpu

OBJECTIVE: To assess the effects of different durations of simulated microgravity exposure on ventricular repolarization (VR) in terms of T-wave alternans (TWA) as well as to test whether an increase in VR heterogeneity could be detected once normal gravity was restored. APPROACH: A total of 63 healthy volunteers were recruited in several head-down bed-rest (HDBR) experiments in the context of the

Study region: Rukarara River Watershed (RRW), Rwanda. Study focus: DOC leaching has important environmental consequences for both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. This paper measures leached dissolved organic carbon (LDOC) and the factors controlling its variation in the RRW, a mixed agriculture and forest watershed in Rwanda. The study describes the relationship of LDOC with land use/land cove
