The incidence of deep infection using a synthetic mesh in inguinal hernia repair is low and reported to be well below 1%. This is in contrast to incisional hernia surgery where the reported incidence is 3% respective 13% comparing laparoscopic to open mesh repair reported in a Cochrane review. Main risk factors were long operation time, surgical site contamination, and early wound complications. A

Efficient bit-serial realisations for maximum and minimum filters are presented. The proposed circuits are simple and suitable for VLSI implementation. The filters not only give the maximum or minimum values, but also indicate which input is the maximum or minimum in an input vector. A true single phase clock has been used to achieve high speed

ChIP-seq is the method of choice for genome-wide studies of protein-DNA interactions. We describe a new method for ChIP-seq sample preparation, termed lobChIP, where the library reactions are performed on cross-linked ChIP fragments captured on beads.

To be able to connect wirelessly to the internet is nowadays a part of everyday life and the number of wireless devices accessing wireless networks worldwide are increasing rapidly. However, with the increasing number of wireless devices and applications and the amount available bandwidth, spectrum shortage is an issue. A promising way to increase the amount of available spectrum is to utilize fre

Absorption is normally considered as comprising two separate mechanisms, viz. , adsorption and capillary condensation. One part of the water is assumed to be adsorbed, the other part capillary condensed. By means of a small modification to the BET-theory for adsorption, this theory can be made to describe the total absorption as one mechanism, where no difference is made between adsorbed and conde

I de fem sinnenas trädgård slår Damen an sitt instrument och musiken ger lyftning och förnöjelse åt alla skapande varelser. Det är naturligt att se Louise Vinge som mittfigur i en lärdomens trädgård, ett tankens och diktens gröna rum, där skilda tiders stämmor ständigt på nytt fås att ljuda genom tolkarens och förmedlarens hängivna arbete. Kolleger och elever vill med boken I lärdomens trädgård ta

En kokbok är tydligen inte endast en handledning i den nyttiga, sköna eller hushållande matlagningskonsten, utan också en mordets encyklopedi.

Churches and population in the Ystad area: A study of the relationship between church architecture and population size from around 1100 to the present day.

Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are a potential source of dopaminergic neurons for treatment of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Dopaminergic neurons can be derived from hESCs and display a characteristic midbrain phenotype. Once transplanted, they can induce partial behavioral recovery in animal models of PD. However, the potential research field faces several challenges that need to be
