Complicated Acute Type B Dissections-An 8-years Experience of Endovascular Stent-graft Repair in a Single Centre.

Objective. To analyze the experience of a single centre using stent-grafts for treatment of complicated acute aortic type B-dissections (EVR-ABD). Design. Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from patients undergoing EVR-ABD between January 1997 and December 2004. Methods. EVR-ABD was performed in 31 patients (20 males, median age 74. years (IQR: 64-79)). Indications for treatmen

Modelling and control strategy testing of biological and chemical phosphorus removal at Avedore WWTP

The biological phosphorus removal process is often implemented at plants by the construction of an anaerobic bio-p tank in front of the traditional N removing plant configuration. However, biological phosphorus removal is also observed in plant configurations constructed only for nitrogen removal and simultaneous or post-precipitation. The operational experience with this "accidental" biological p

Mirror Symmetry in the Upper fp Shell

A detailed investigation of the contribution from Coulomb effects to the observed mirror energy difference diagrams in nuclei in the lower part of the upper fp shell is presented by means of large-scale shell-model calculations.

An inducible Ku86-degrading serine protease in human cells.

The Ku autoantigen has been implicated in a number of cellular functions including growth control, immunoglobulin gene rearrangement and DNA repair. A variant truncated form of Ku86, with an apparent molecular weight of 70 kDa, has been reported to be present in many human cell types. We have previously shown that the amount of variant Ku86 is strongly increased in human peripheral blood mononucle

Coupled cluster calculations of the optical rotation of S-propylene oxide in gas phase and solution

We present ab initio calculations of the optical rotation of S-propylene oxide in both gas phase and solution using the coupled cluster methodology combined with a dielectric continuum description of the solvent. The coupled cluster calculations are performed using the CCS, CC2, CCSD and CC3 methods. None of the presented gas phase results are in accord with the experimental sign of the optical ro

Evolution of growth in the development of competence

The article presents the third study of a series that has been designed to manifest consciousness and to measure developed competence. The emphasis of the main hypothesis has been put on the student’s ability to adapt to the main idea of a given story and to express his comprehension verbally. In what way the two students of the previous two experiments have been able to accomplish the experimenta

Microarray-based classification of a consecutive series of 121 childhood acute leukemias: prediction of leukemic and genetic subtype as well as of minimal residual disease status.

Gene expression analyses were performed on 121 consecutive childhood leukemias (87 B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemias (ALLs), 11 T-cell ALLs and 23 acute myeloid leukemias (AMLs)), investigated during an 8-year period at a single center. The supervised learning algorithm k-nearest neighbor was utilized to build gene expression predictors that could classify the ALLs/AMLs according to clinical

Radhus med gasvärme: uppvärmningsenergibehov och inneklimatanalys av kv Borgsund, Malmö

Målsättningen för projektet är att studera uppvärmningsenergibehov, energiförbrukning och inomhusklimat i 31 radhuslägenheter i Malmö med gasvärme. Detta görs genom att studera energibalansen för lägenheterna, funktionen hos systemen med luftburen värme, funktionen hos gasvärmesystemen samt de boendes upplevelse av inneklimatet via enkäter.

Laboratory Investigation of Beach Scarp and Dune Recession Due to Notching and Subsequent Failure

Analytical models to calculate notch development and subsequent mass failure of dunes are presented. The notch evolution model is based on a transport equation for sediment from the dune and the sediment volume conservation equation, whereas the models of mass failure are derived using elementary engineering statics and soil mechanics. An empirical transport coefficient in the model describing the

The serine protease Sp7 is expressed in blood cells and regulates the melanization reaction in Drosophila.

Serine proteases play a central role in defense against pathogens by regulating processes such as blood clotting, melanization of injured surfaces, and proteolytic activation of signaling pathways involved in innate immunity. Here, we present the functional characterization of the Drosophila serine protease Sp7 (CG3006) by inducible RNA interference. We show that Sp7 is constitutively expressed in

The effect of swirl on spark assisted compression ignition (SACI)

Autoignition with SI compression ratio can be achieved by retaining hot residuals, replacing some of the fresh charge. In this experimental work it is achieved by running with a negative valve overlap (NVO) trapping hot residuals. The experimental engine is equipped with a pneumatic valve train making it possible to change valve lift, phasing and duration, as well as running with valve deactivatio

The indexical 'I': The first person in thought and language

Boken handlar om jag-begreppet i tanke och tal. Huvudfrågan är vad vi menar när vi säger 'jag. Relaterade frågor rör vilka sorters jag-kunskap och självmedvetande som behövs för att kunna tala om sig själv. Betoningen ligger på menings- och referensteorier, men ett stort utrymme ägnas även åt jag-tankar och jagbegreppets roll för tänkande i allmänhet.The subjct of this book is the first person in thought and language. The main question is what we mean when we say 'I'. Related to it are questions about what kinds of self-consciousness and self-knowledge are needed in order for us to have the capacity to talk about ourselves. The emphasis is on theories of meaning and reference for 'I', but a fair amount of space is devoted to 'I'-thoughts and t
