Images by cryo-transmission electron microscopy show two types of structure in dilute aqueous mixtures of amylose (AM) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS): Loose fibrous networks and unilamellar vesicles. Neither of the structures was observed in reference solutions of AM or SDS alone. It is proposed that both types of structure consist of inclusion complexes where SDS molecules are enclosed in V-typ
AIMS: This study sets out to investigate direct care staff's views of their need for support, supervision, and training in their practice in day care settings when supporting daily occupations among developmentally disabled persons. BACKGROUND: The first line staff are considered as having a prominent role in the successful delivery of service. METHODS: Three municipalities, one urban and two rura
The soliton solution of the Korteweg-de Vries equation provides a good approximation to the shape of a solitary wave solution to the governing equations for water waves. However, the corresponding velocity field below the soliton is not an accurate approximation. We propose an approach that provides us with a better approximation. By describing the particle paths below the free surface, we show th
We document hydrological and phytoplankton characteristics of nine lakes and two ponds on Store Koldewey, a culturally undisturbed island off Northeast Greenland. The limnological survey included the recording of temperature, conductivity, oxygen concentration and saturation, pH, ionic composition, transparency, and the diatom phytoplankton community. In summer 2003, the lakes were cold, monomicti
In order to evaluate the usefulness of early continuous EEG-monitoring in very preterm neonates, recordings with a Cerebral Function Monitor (CFM) were made prospectively in 31 ESLBW infants with birthweights below 901 grams, during their first week of life. The CFM background activity was, as expected from EEG studies, dominated by a suppression-burst pattern in 94% of the infants. Some infants h
Popular Abstract in Swedish Begreppen ‘participation’ och ‘empowerment’ är flitigt använda inom utvecklingsprojekt i tredje världen. Den betydelse som tillskrivs begreppen idag betonar en normativ tolkning, baserad på ett alternativt perspektiv på utveckling vilket innebär utgångspunkt från de människor utvecklingsprojeket berör snarare än västerländsk kunskap och expertis. Begreppen kräver detaljThe concepts participation and empowerment are frequently used in development projects in the third world. The meaning given to the concepts today signal a normative orientation, marking an alternative, people-centred approach to development. When used in development projects, the concepts demand detailed descriptions. They also demand project implementers, often local NGOs (non-government organis
Pathophysiological processes underlying intrauterine growth restriction are very complex and poorly understood. Growth restricted fetuses are at risk of hypoxia and, therefore, an early diagnosis of intrauterine growth restriction is important for initiation of fetal surveillance. Application of a three-dimensional ultrasound method for estimation of fetal weight promises better precision. Use of
Context Inpatients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation, warfarin prevents ischemic stroke, but dose adjustment, coagulation monitoring, and bleeding limit its use. Objective To compare the efficacy of the oral direct thrombin inhibitor ximelagatran with warfarin for prevention of stroke and systemic embolism. Design, Setting, and Participants Double-blind, randomized, multicenter trial (20002001)
Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) is a pentameric glycoprotein present in cartilage, tendon and ligament. Fragments of the molecule are present in the diseased cartilage, synovial fluid and serum of patients with knee injuries, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Although COMP is a substrate for several matrix metalloprotemases (MMPs), the enzymes responsible for COMP degradation in
The immune system has evolved specialized cellular and molecular mechanisms for targeting and regulating immune responses at epithelial surfaces. Here we show that small intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes and lamina propria lymphocytes migrate to thymus-expressed chemokine (TECK). This attraction is mediated by CC chemokine receptor (CCR)9, a chemoattractant receptor expressed at high levels b
Luthers kombination av Guds-ords-mystik och kallelsemedvetande blir så tydlig att den just därför varit svår att förstå. Stolt gör upp med vanföreställningar som att retorik skulle utesluta spontanitet. Hon utgår från språkvetenskapliga iakttagelser: Luthers latinska och tyska språkanvändning står i intensivt beroende av varandra, och hans nyskapande insatser för det tyska språket kan inte isolera
