Monitoring high latitude wetlands is required to understand feedbacks between terrestrial carbon pools and climate change. Hydrological variability is a key factor driving biogeochemical processes in these ecosystems and effective assessment tools are critical for accurate characterization of surface hydrology, soil moisture, and water table fluctuations. Operational satellite platforms provide op
In this article, two case studies from 1921–22 and 1971 respectively, are juxtaposed in order to determine change in official attitudes and screening contexts for pornographic films. Focusing in the first case on an exhibitor who in 1922 was convicted of screening an obscene film on three occasions the year before, and in the other case on the range of venues for pornographic films in Malmö the mo
Carbonylation of proteins is an irreversible oxidative damage that increases during both chronological and replicative yeast aging. In the latter, a spatial protein quality control system that relies on Sir2 is responsible for the asymmetrical damage segregation in the mother cells. Proper localization of Sir2 on chromatin depends on the deubiquitinating enzyme Ubp10, whose loss of function deeply
Background: The presence of enthesitis (insertional inflammation) in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is difficult to establish clinically and may influence classification and treatment of the disease. We used ultrasonography (US) and color Doppler (CD) imaging to detect enthesitis at the small and deep-seated proximal insertion of the gluteus medius fascia on the posterior iliac
The origin of two large peaks in the atmospheric radiocarbon ((14)C) concentration at AD 774/5 and 993/4 is still debated. There is consensus, however, that these features can only be explained by an increase in the atmospheric (14)C production rate due to an extraterrestrial event. Here we provide evidence that these peaks were most likely produced by extreme solar events, based on several new an
A rectangular, straight microchannel heat sink with multiple length bifurcation has been designed, and the corresponding laminar flow and thermal performance have been investigated, numerically. Five different cases with multiple length bifurcation and various arrangements are investigated, as well as one case without bifurcations. All laminar fluid flow and surface heat transfer results are obtai
The "build-up" methodology of a composite photocatalyst is a critical issue regarding the showed photocatalytic performance, including the formation of intermediates. To investigate this issue TiO2/WO3/Au aerogel composites were obtained by sal-gel method and subsequent photoreduction (Au) with UV or visible light. The obtained composites' photocatalytic activity and intermediate formation profile
We demonstrate a vertical InAs nanowire MOSFET integrated on Si substrate with an extrinsic peak cut-off frequency of 103 GHz and a maximum oscillation frequency of 155 GHz. The transistor has a transconductance of 730 mS/mm and is based on arrays of nanowires with gate-all-around and high-kappa gate dielectric. Furthermore, small-signal modeling shows a similar to 80% reduction of the total paras
A series of comparative studies is suggested, focused on perceptions of outrigger canoes, and aimed at an increased understanding of the relationship between social relations, biodiversity, and sustainable development in Oceanic societies on small islands and in coastal areas undergoing rapid cultural change. After a critique of the recent notion that canoe-building in Polynesia developed as a res
During recent years the neural transcription factor SOX11 has been established as an important biomarker for mantle cell lymphoma. SOX11 is both a diagnostic and prognostic antigen, and may potentially be used for treatment selection for younger patients, in relation to protocols including high dose chemotherapy. The molecular pathways involved are still not fully elucidated and, as SOX11 can inte
Intermarriage with natives is a key indicator of immigrant integration. This article studies intermarriage for 138 immigrant groups in Sweden, using longitudinal individual level data. It shows great variation in marriage patterns across immigrant populations, ranging from over 70 percent endogamy in some immigrants groups to below 5 percent in other groups. Although part of this variation is expl
Objective. To construct a database for clinical epidemiological prostate cancer research based on linkages between the National Prostate Cancer Register (NPCR) of Sweden, a population-based, nationwide quality database, and other nationwide registries. Material and methods. By use of the individually unique Swedish Personal Identity Number, the NPCR was linked to the Swedish Cancer Registry, the C
Inclusive transverse momentum spectra of primary charged particles in Pb-Pb collisions at root s(NN) = 2.76 TeV have been measured by the ALICE Collaboration at the LHC. The data are presented for central and peripheral collisions, corresponding to 0-5% and 70-80% of the hadronic Pb-Pb cross section. The measured charged particle spectra in |eta| < 0.8 and 0.3 < p(T) < 20 GeV/c are compared to the
This thesis is based on 5 papers exploring the filtering problem in non-linear non-Gaussian state-space models together with applications of Sequential Monte Carlo (also called particle filtering) methods to the positioning in wireless networks. The aim of the first paper is to study the performance of particle filtering techniques in mobile positioning using signal strength measurements. Two di
Popular Abstract in Swedish Barn födda före 32 gestationsveckor, även de utan svåra neurologiska avvikelser, har en hög förekomst av neuropsykologiska problem såsom läs-, inlärnings-, språk-, minnes- och beteendeproblem. Det är ännu inte klarlagt vilka funktionella och strukturella förändringar i hjärnan som orsakar dessa problem. Möjligheten till tidig diagnos behövs men saknas ännu. Auditiva hänChildren born before 32 gestational weeks have a high incidence of neuropsychological deficits. The structural and functional correlates of such impairments in preterm infants are incompletely understood, and early diagnostic tools are needed, but still lacking. Auditory event-related potentials (AERPs) are neurophysiological measures of cortical sound detection, encoding, discrimination, and atte
I samband med årets internationella mykologikongress IMC9 i Edinburgh anordnade IAL, International Association for Lichenology, en veckas lavexkursion på den skotska västkusten under ledning av Chris Ellis och Brian Coppins, den senare en av världens främsta lavexperter. Martin Westberg och Ulf Arup var med och skådade oceaniska rariteter.
Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are classified as neurological developmental disorders. Several studies have been carried out to find a candidate biomarker linked to the development of these disorders, but up to date no reliable biomarker is available. Mass spectrometry techniques have been used for protein profiling of blood plasma of children with such disorders in order to identify proteins/pep
