Film and Television in Interaction

The text emphasizes aesthetics in post war American film and is more precisely a study of directors, which started their career within live television and made a transition to cinema. The influence of their television background on their films is central to the text. Contributing factors in this context are changes in the overall technology within TV, changes from live productions to the use of fi

Phosphoproteins and protein kinase activities intrinsic to inner membranes of potato tuber mitochondria

Inside-out submitochondrial particles (IO-SMP) were isolated and purified from potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv.) tubers. When these IO-SMP were incubated with [γ32P]ATP more then 20 proteins became labelled as a result of phosphorylation. The 32P incorporation was stimulated by the oxidizing reagent ferricyanide. Except for a 17 kDa protein which was phosphorylated only in the absence of divalent

Purification of a serine and histidine phosphorylated mitochondrial nucleoside diphosphate kinase from Pisum sativum

For the first time, to our knowledge, a nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDPK) has been purified from plant mitochondria (Pisum sativum L.). In intact pea leaf mitochondria, a 17.4-kDa soluble protein was phosphorylated in the presence of EDTA when [γ-32]ATP was used as the phosphate donor. Cell fractionation demonstrated that the 17.4-kDa protein is a true mitochondrial protein, and the lack of acc

Two subunits of the F0F1-ATPase are phosphorylated in the inner mitochondrial membrane

Inside-out submitochondrial particles from potato tuber mitochondria were incubated with [γ-32P]ATP. More than 16 phosphorylated polypeptides were detected by autoradiography on an SDS-gel. Two phosphoproteins, migrating at 22 and 28 kDa, were excised from the SDS-gel, electroeluted, and purified further by anion chromatography. The phosphoproteins were N-terminally sequenced. Over the regions seq

Biological valorization of low molecular weight lignin

Lignin is a major component of lignocellulosic biomass and as such, it is processed in enormous amounts in the pulp and paper industry worldwide. In such industry it mainly serves the purpose of a fuel to provide process steam and electricity, and to a minor extent to provide low grade heat for external purposes. Also from other biorefinery concepts, including 2nd generation ethanol, increasing am

Physicochemical Characterisation of Technical Lignins for Their Potential Valorisation

Lignin, the second most abundant natural polymer, has emerged as a potential alternative material to petroleum-based chemicals and renewable resource for the production of diverse forms of aromatics, biofuels, and bio-based materials. Thus, it is becoming important to understand its structure and properties to provide key features and insights for better/efficient lignin valorisation. In this work

Competence Building: A Systemic Approach to Innovation Policy

The main question that guides this paper is how governments are focusing (and must focus) on competence building (education and training) when designing and implementing innovation policies. With this approach, the paper aims at filling the gap between the existing literature on competences on the one hand, and the real world of innovation policy-making on the other, typically not speaking to each

OSL dating and luminescence characteristics of aeolian deposits and their source material in Dalarna, central Sweden

Aeolian dunes, coversands, glacifluvial deltas and paraglacial mass-movement deposits in Bonäsheden and Skattungheden in Dalarna, central Sweden were dated by optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) on quartz. The OSL ages confirm that the majority of the dunes started forming directly after deglaciation, as suggested by previous investigators. Dune formation seems to have lasted at least 1500 yea

Pro-poor agricultural growth – Inclusion or differentiation? Village level perspectives from Zambia

Over the past decade pro-poor agricultural growth strategies intended to raise smallholder productivity and increase commercialization among smallholders have been put forth as the key method for addressing poverty in rural Africa. By contrast perspectives that challenge this model question the market optimism and presumptions of higher smallholder efficiency that underpin the pro-poor agricultura

Fourier dimension of random images

Given a compact set of real numbers, a random Cm + α-diffeomorphism is constructed such that the image of any measure concentrated on the set and satisfying a certain condition involving a real number s, almost surely has Fourier dimension greater than or equal to s/ (m+ α). This is used to show that every Borel subset of the real numbers of Hausdorff dimension s is Cm + α-equivalent to a set of F

Gut microbiota mediated benefits of barley kernel products on metabolism, gut hormones, and inflammatory markers as affected by co-ingestion of commercially available probiotics : a randomized controlled study in healthy subjects

Background and aims Barley kernel based products have been shown to induce benefits on blood glucose regulation, cardio-metabolic risk markers and appetite regulating hormones in a time perspective of 11–16 h after intake. The mechanisms have been assigned to gut fermentation of indigestible carbohydrates. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate if the modulatory effects of barley on mark

Embodied intersubjectivity, sedimentation and non-actual motion expressions

As part of a long-term project investigating the relevance of phenomenology for (cognitive) linguistics we analyse two central, interrelated concepts: embodied intersubjectivity (intercorporeality) and sedimentation. With respect to the first, we spell out a number of different intercorporeal structures, emanating at the most fundamental level from the dual Leibkörper nature of the body. Further,

Adult outcomes of preterm birth

Because of remarkable advances in the treatment of preterm birth, physicians increasingly encounter adult patients who were born preterm. However, research now shows that improved early survival may come at the expense of future health risks, including increased respiratory, cardiovascular, and kidney disease, diabetes and metabolic syndrome, and neuropsychiatric disorders. Unfortunately, this kno

Co-designing wearable technology together with visually impaired children

This paper presents the process and results of a set of studies within the ABBI EU project, with the general aim to co-design wearable technology (an audio bracelet) together with visually impaired children, starting at a young age. The authors discuss user preferences related to sounds and tactile materials and present the results of a focus group with very young visually-impaired children under

Identifying landslide preconditions in Swedish quick clays—insights from integration of surface geophysical, core sample- and downhole property measurements

Quick-clay landslides are a serious geohazard in Canada, Norway and Sweden. Identification and mapping of quick clays are essential endeavours because the damage caused by an individual landslide can be large and costly, with potentially fatal consequences. We collected geophysical borehole and soil core data from an area prone to quick-clay landslides in southwestern Sweden. Methodologies include

Using isothermal calorimetry to predict one day mortar strengths

This study investigated whether isothermal calorimetry measurements on cement paste are sufficiently accurate and precise to partially replace compressive strengths measurements on cement mortar as a quality control method at cement production. The study was also designed to provide information on mechanisms that will affect the relationship between heat of hydration and early strength, but not to
