The field of plant cell wall biology is constantly growing and consequently so is the need for more sensitive and specific probes for individual wall components. Xyloglucan is a key polysaccharide widely distributed in the plant kingdom in both structural and storage tissues that exist in both fucosylated and non-fucosylated variants. Presently, the only xyloglucan marker available is the monoclon
The startup of a chemical plate reactor is investigated. A hybrid startup control scheme is presented and a discussion is made on how hybrid transition points could be chosen to allow safe startup despite actuator limitations, process nonlinearities and model uncertainties. The event-driven startup improves the robustness to uncertainties and disturbances, since each part of the startup is associa
Pressurized liquid extractions were performed on eight sediments in order to investigate if a modified US EPA method (100 degrees C, 100 bar, n-heptane/acetone (1:1), 2 x 5 min) provided exhaustive extractions of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) from sediment, and to study if the extractability of PCBs from the different sediments was affected by characteristics of the sediment. The recovery from
Aims: Differences in morphology in adult barn swallows were investigated using bone and feather measurements taken from birds from a northern (Danish) and a southern (Spanish) European population. Discriminant Function Analysis was used to help in discriminating the sex of individuals of both populations. Location: Badajoz (Spain) and Kraghede (Denmark). Methods: Two discriminant functions were ob
We present a fast algorithm for optimal alignment between two similar ordered trees with node labels. Let S and T be two such trees with S and T nodes, respectively. If there exists an optimal alignment between S and T which uses at most d blank symbols and d is known in advance, it can be constructed in O(n log n (.) (maxdeg)(3) (.) d(2)) time, where n = max{S, T} and maxdeg is the maximum degree
Profilins are small, widely expressed actin binding proteins, thought to be key regulators of actin dynamics in living cells. So far, three profilin-genes have been described: profilin-I (PFN1), profilin-II (PFN2) with two splice variants and the recently identified profilin-III (PFN3). Here we describe the genomic organization of the genes encoding human and mouse profilin-III. Both are single ex
The Autocapture algorithm enables automatic capture verification on a beat-by-beat basis by recognizing the evoked response signal following each pacemaker stimulus. The algorithm intends to increase patient safety while decreasing energy consumption. However, the occurrence of fusion beats, particularly during dual chamber pacing, may limit the energy saving effect of Autocapture. The aim of this

The thesis accounts for a comparison between the two different parts of The National Law of King Christopher (1442): the parts taken over from the older national law and the parts rewritten och new written. I also compare with those parts of The Urban Law of King Magnus Eriksson that are independent of the national law. The investigations concern legal case clauses, legal enactment modes, syntacti
Acetone-ether preparations of epididymal fat pads from fasted or fed rats contained two enzymes catalyzing the hydrolysis of long-chain monoacylglycerols. The enzymes were identified as monoacylglycerol lipase (Tornqvist, H. and Belfrage, P., (1976) J. Biol Chem. 251, 813--819) and lipoprotein lipase by their apparent pI values after electrofocusing in non-ionic detergent, selective inhibition pro
Diabetic control, behavioural symptoms and self-evaluation were assessed in 25 children with IDDM who were in poor metabolic control (P group), before and subsequent to one of two treatment conditions: family therapy and conventional treatment (C). In addition, data were collected from 12 patients in optimal control (O group). Prior to treatment the patients in poor control were rated higher than
Popular Abstract in Swedish Något tillspetsat förefaller varje kommun driva utvecklingsarbete inriktat på verksamhetsmått. Är så inte fallet är ansvariga snabba att betona att verksamhetsmått är viktigt och att de precis har beslutat om ett större måttprojekt. Denna bok ger en bild av i vilken omfattning fyra gatukontor utformar och använder verksamhetsmått. Boken innehåller också beskrivningar ocThe purpose of this study is to develop a frame of reference within which formal control system performance measures can be described and their design and use can be analyzed for control systems in municipalities. From a cybernetic control approach measures are used as instruments to plan and gain feedback from employee actions, and adjust them to the internal and external environment of which the
Popular Abstract in Swedish De semi-arida regionerna i norra Kina är drabbade av många faktorer som påverkar miljön negativt, t.ex. ökenspridning, vind erosion, överbetning, uttömmande av naturresurser. Det redan hårda trycket på ekosystemen i dessa regioner har ökat sedan Kina införde marknadsekonomi. Reformerna sedan 1978 har lett till en snabb ökning av antalet betesdjur och en expansion av jorLand degradation is commonly perceived to be severe in many parts of semi arid China. The transition towards market economy since the 1978 reforms, have set marginal dry lands under added pressure in the form of increased livestock numbers and expanding cultivation on erosive soils. To evaluate land degradation since the reforms, this study focuses on mapping and analysing the biological productio
The cellular and molecular pathways initiated by traumatic brain injury (TBI) may compromise the function and structural integrity of mitochondria, thereby contributing to cerebral metabolic dysfunction and cell death. The extent to which TBI affects regional mitochondrial populations with respect to structure, function, and swelling was assessed 3 hours and 24 hours after lateral fluid-percussion
Aims: To investigate whether a high level of commonly experienced physical and mental symptoms could predict long spells of sickness absence in Swedish women and, further, to investigate the causal pattern of socioeconomic and psychosocial factors in relation to long spells of sickness absence. Methods: A questionnaire containing items on socioeconomic and psychosocial variables was sent to a rand
A novel molecularly imprinted polymer was prepared by copolymerization of trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (1) and methacrylic acid (3) in the presence of a dipeptide acting as the template. The recognition capability of the synthetic receptor-like binding sites produced in the polymer network for the peptide was demonstrated by using the polymer as a chiral stationary phase in HPLC. The polymer
Purpose - This paper aims to illustrate a new method to cluster consumer attribute preferences and to transform spontaneously written texts by consumers about a certain favourite food product (hamburger) into distinct preference clusters of attributes. Design/methodology/approach - A new way of finding significant clusters of consumer attribute preferences is developed by means of a new text analy
