Zn substitution in Y-Ba-Cu-O phases influences the catalytic ammoxidation of toluene. The activity for formation of both benzonitrile and CO2 at low and high O2 pressures, respectively, decreases strongly with increasing Zn content up to 4%. Above this substitution level, the activity, however, increases slightly. Characterisations of the surface by XPS and of the bulk by XRD analysis, indicate th

BACKGROUND: Recombinant factor VIIa (rFVIIa) has been used to decrease bleeding in a number of settings including hemophilia, liver transplantation, intractable bleeding, and cirrhosis. Experience in the trauma setting is limited. This study was performed to determine whether rFVIIa would reduce bleeding after a grade V liver injury in hypothermic, dilutionally coagulopathic pigs when used as an a

Väderdata från 10 olika meterologiska mätstationer i Sverige - Kiruna, Luleå, Frösön, Söderhamn, Karlstad, Bromma, Jönköping, Säve, Ronneby och Sturup - för tidsperioden 1961 till 1990. De aktuella väderparametrarna är temperatur, relativ fuktighet, ånghalt, mättnadsånghalt, vindhastighet, vindriktning, nederbörd, solstrålning och långvågig strålning.

Popular Abstract in Swedish ETT PARADIS FÖR ALLA. EPA MELLAN FOLKHEM OCH FÖRFÖRELSE I början av 1930-talet etablerades en ny form av konsumtion i Sverige när Enhetsprisaktibolaget Epa öppnade dörrarna för en hänförd och överväldigad allmänhet. Hörnstenar i Epa-systemet var fasta priser, massproducerade produkter, stora lagerutrymmen och låga leveranskostnader. Varorna var avsedda för en ny bred kA Paradise for All. Epa between the People's Home and Seduction. This dissertation is about the Epa department store chain, which existed in Sweden from 1930 to 1977. For many people, Epa was an arena for meeting modernity. By allowing issues of tradition and modernity, cultural learning processes, class, gender and aesthetics to collide with the Epa phenomenon, a complex picture of the Swedish P

Six species from Somalia, Barleria albomarginata, B. dentata, B. glaucobracteata, B. ilicifolia, Hypoestes cinerea and Justicia carnosa, are described as new to science, J. arenaria is proposed as a new name for J. ovalifolia var. psammophila and the new combination B. brevispina is proposed for B. linearifolia var. brevispina.

The ability of dogs to adaptively modulate secretion by the exocrine pancreas to match changes in the amounts and sources of macronutrients is poorly understood. We evaluated the use of re-entrant pancreatic catheters as a non-terminal, temporary approach for the chronic collection of exocrine pancreatic secretion using unrestrained dogs fed diets differing in composition. Re-entrant catheters wer

A semiclassical description of structure functions in DIS at small x is presented. It gives an intuitive picture of the transition from the Double Leading Log approximation at large Q(2), to the powerlike dependence on x in the BFKL region at limited Q(2). Formal derivations from perturbative QCD, e.g. in the BFKL or the CCFM formalisms, are technically complicated, and therefore such an intuitive

The 6.4 T wavelength shifter at MAX-lab is a three pole superconducting planar wiggler with a warm bore, i.e. the vacuum tube passing through the wavelength shifter is at ambient temperature. The wavelength shifter, including surrounding systems such as power supply and He liquifier, has been assembled, tested, and commissioned at MAX-lab. The wavelength shifter has been installed into the 1.5 GeV

C-stage effluent, E-stage effluent and a total effluent (C-stage and E-stage effluent mixed in proportion to the volumes of the effluents at the mill) have been treated with a ceramic microfilter membrane. The flux of the total effluent was considerably lower than of the separate effluents. The fluxes of the E-stage and C-stage effluents were 550 and 1,300 l/m2h, respectively, while the flux of th

Transport measurements are presented on a quantum ring that is tunnel-coupled to a quantum dot. When the dot is in the Coulomb blockade regime, but strongly coupled to the open ring, Fano line shapes are observed in the current through the ring, when the electron number in the dot changes by 1. The symmetry of the Fano resonances is found to depend on the magnetic flux penetrating the area of the

Calcium precipitation can have a number of effects on the performance of high-rate anaerobic performance including cementing of the sludge bed, limiting diffusion, and diluting the active biomass. The aim of this study was to observe the influence of precipitation in a stable full-scale system fed with high-calcium paper factory wastewater. Granules were examined from an upflow anaerobic sludge bl

A customized processor for real time image convolution has been designed to increase the performance of an instrument for automated cereal grain quality assessment. Image convolution requires an extensive amount of calculation capacity and a corresponding amount of data transfers, hard to achieve with standard processors in real time. Therefore, a tailored architecture with a streamlined dataflow

A farm systems mass-balance calculation model, FARMFLOW, was applied to a case study comparing organic and conventional management of a Swedish experimental dairy farm, Ojebyn. Parameterisation of the model is implemented using detailed field data from the Ojebyn farm where the two management systems have been run parallel for more than 11 years. Simulations were made to compare the stocks, flows

Objective-The objective of this study was to determine the conduction properties of the normal atrioventricular (AV) conduction system in relation to accessory pathway (AP) location in patients with symptomatic Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. Design-The conduction properties of the AP and the AV node were studied in 356 patients with single manifest AP who underwent successful ablation. Results-Si

We present a theory of the elementary spin excitations in transition-metal ferromagnet nanoparticles which achieves a unified and consistent quantum description of both collective and quasiparticle physics. The theory starts by recognizing the essential role played by spin-orbit interactions in determining the energies of ferromagnetic resonances in the collective excitation spectrum and the stren

Severe hypoglycemia was induced by insulin in lightly anaesthetized (70°o N2O) and artificially ventilated rats. Brain tissue was frozen in situ after spontaneous EEG potentials had disappeared for 5. 10. 15 or 30 min and cerebral cortex concentrations of labile organic phosphates, glycolytic metabolites, ammonia and amino acids were determined. In other experiments, recovery was induced by glucos

We have previously observed that pyridoxine treatment reduced plasma total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol concentrations and increased antithrombin III (AT III) activity in atherosclerotic patients with subnormal plasma pyridoxal 5-phosphate (PLP) levels. In order to confirm these results, we selected 17 males with low plasma PLP levels from a group of 122 80-year-o
