The emulsion stabilization functionality of surfactants and biopolymers can be replaced by solid particles adsorbed at the interface, where they create a category of emulsions known as Pickering emulsions. Recently, health and environmental concerns have led to new market demand for natural, biodegradable and renewable sources of ingredients. Starch granules meet these ingredient requirements and

Eye movements during regular reading, thorough reading, skimming, and spell checking of single pages of text were measured, to investigate how high-level reading tasks elicited by instructions affect reading behavior. Word frequency and word length effects were found. All results were compared to regular reading. Thorough reading involved longer total reading times and more rereading, and resulted

Even though architecture often might be conceived of as timeless, there has always been different ways of dealing with time in architectural discourse and practice. Since the early 20th century the temporal activities that goes on in and between buildings has, for example, been addressed by concepts such as function, flexibility and program. Architecture is of inevitable importance in our everyday

The quantification and characterization of circulating immune cells provide key indicators of human health and disease. To identify the relative effects of environmental and genetic factors on variation in the parameters of innate and adaptive immune cells in homeostatic conditions, we combined standardized flow cytometry of blood leukocytes and genome-wide DNA genotyping of 1,000 healthy, unrelat

In the last few years many detector technologies for thermal neutron detection have been developed in order to face the shortage of 3He, which is now much less available and more expensive. Moreover the 3He-based detectors can not fulfil the requirements in performance, e.g. the spatial resolution and the counting rate capability needed for the new instruments. The Boron-10-based gaseous detectors

This paper investigates the usability of a cost model to assess sustainable production. The aim is to develop an established cost model to also take sustainability into consideration and hence evaluate sustainable production on the shop floor. To facilitate the analyse literature have been studied to find indicators for sustainable production. The indicators have then been mapped together with parThis paper investigates the usability of a cost model to assess sustainable production.

To explore the effects of a single dose of the DPP-4 inhibitor sitagliptin on glucose-standardized insulin secretion and β-cell glucose sensitivity after meal ingestion, 12 healthy and 12 drug-naïve, well-controlled type 2 diabetes (T2D) subjects (mean HbA1c 43mmol/mol, 6.2%) received sitagliptin (100mg) or placebo before a meal (525kcal). β-cell function was measured as the insulin secretory rate

Aurora Dumitrescu, author of two novels, Cagliostro and The Bipolar(Tracus Arte Press, 2016). The Bipolar places its action in the contemporary world and applies not very different narrative techniques. The similarity in parallel readings shows that the Coelho model is obvious, but I would saythat Aurora Dumitrescu respects more her readers, as she stimulates their intelligence too. The only honor

Objectives: To evaluate whether anthropometric parameters add to PSA measurements in middle-aged men for risk assessment of prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosis and death. Results: After adjusting for PSA, both BMI and weight were significantly associated with an increased risk of PCa death with the odds of a death corresponding to a 10 kg/m2 or 10 kg increase being 1.58 (95% CI 1.10, 2.28; p = 0.013)

Background--Long-term disease progression after myocardial infarction (MI) is inadequately understood. We evaluated the pattern and angiographic properties (culprit lesion [CL]/non-CL [NCL]) of recurrent MI (re-MI) in a large real-world patient population. Methods and Results--Our observational study used prospectively collected data in 108 615 patients with first-occurrence MI enrolled in the SWE

Objectives: To use a population pharmacokinetic approach to define maximally effective meropenem dosing recommendations for treatment of Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in a large cohort of patients with septic shock. Methods: Adult patients with septic shock and conserved renal function, treated with meropenem, were eligible for inclusion. Seven blood samples were co

Purpose: We describe a public dataset with MR and CT images of patients performed in the same position with both multiobserver and expert consensus delineations of relevant organs in the male pelvic region. The purpose was to provide means for training and validation of segmentation algorithms and methods to convert MR to CT like data, i.e., so called synthetic CT (sCT). Acquisition and validation

Background: Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a serious complication in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Objective: To study associations between relevant co-morbidities and CHF in patients with AF. Methods: Study population included all adults (n = 12,283) ≥45 years diagnosed with AF at 75 primary care centers in Sweden 2001-2007. Logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratios with

This chapter discusses the increasing tendency to remove street art from its original site for personal gain. It further explores whether/how copyright claims can be an effective means of preventing such extractions.

Hos friska kvinnor är akut cystit besvärande men ofarligt. Infektionen läker spontant, behandling förkortar tiden med symtom och ges i symtomlindrande syfte. Akut cystit är en bakteriell infektion i urinblåsans slemhinna och definieras som nytillkommen sveda, trängningar och ökad frekvens till vattenkastning samtidigt med bakterier i urinen. Diagnostiken i primärvården baseras framför allt på klin

Relationships between health professionals and pharmaceutical manufacturers can unduly influence clinical practice. These relationships are the focus of global transparency efforts, including in Europe.
