The use of this material under current use conditions is supported by the existing information. This material was evaluated for genotoxicity, repeated dose toxicity, developmental toxicity, reproductive toxicity, local respiratory toxicity, phototoxicity, skin sensitization potential, as well as, environmental safety. Reproductive toxicity was based on the Threshold of Toxicological Concern (TTC)

This dissertation is a contribution to the knowledge of the computational complexity of discrete combinatorial problems. 1. The first problem that we consider is to compute the maximum independent set of a box graph, that is, given a set of orthogonal boxes in the plane compute the largest subset such that no boxes in the subset overlap. We provide an $mathtt{exp}(O(sqrt nlog n))$-time algorithm

Om realsocialismens och Sovjetkommunismens fall var en seger för demokratin, var det det mångdubbelt för kapitalismen. För i de forna kommandoekonomier där de demokratiska principerna inte fått något större genomslag har i alla fall kapitalismen lyckats slå rot. Kapitalismen har idag blivit grundförutsättningen för allt ekonomiskt och politiskt handlande. Även i välfärdskapitalismens länder har en

Within the research project ‘Language and language use among young people in multilingual urban settings’ (Lindberg 2004) my role is to describe SMG pronunciation, the pronunciation of ‘Swedish on Multilingual Ground’ (e.g. Rosengård Swedish). Thanks to means placed at my disposal by the Faculty of Humanities at Lund University, I am able to broaden my research field to include also a comparison o

The aim of this paper is to study the covariance structure for the difference between satellite measurements and meteorological forecasts of near-surface ocean winds. This type of covariance enters in assimilation techniques such as Kalman filtering. I all, six residual fields are studied. Us of a Box-Cox transformation leads to approximately symmetrically distributed residual wind speed fields.

CONTEXT: Prior studies have demonstrated conflicting results regarding how much information novel biomarkers add to cardiovascular risk assessment. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the utility of contemporary biomarkers for predicting cardiovascular risk when added to conventional risk factors. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Cohort study of 5067 participants (mean age, 58 years; 60% women) without cardi

BACKGROUND: Folate is involved in DNA synthesis and methylation and may thereby influence carcinogenesis. OBJECTIVES: We examined plasma folate (P-folate) concentration in relation to genotypes of the folate-metabolizing enzyme methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase [MTHFR 677C<--T (rs1801133) and 1298A<--C (rs1801131)]. We also explored whether P-folate was associated with risk of postmenopausal bre

Antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation during treatment for tuberculosis (TB) improves survival in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/TB-coinfected patients. We compared virological suppression (VS) rates, mortality, and retention in care in HIV-positive adults receiving care in 5 Ethiopian health centers with regard to TB coinfection.
