Efficient removal of platelets from peripheral blood progenitor cell products using a novel micro-chip based acoustophoretic platform.

Excessive collection of platelets is an unwanted side effect in current centrifugation-based peripheral blood progenitor cell (PBPC) apheresis. We investigated a novel microchip-based acoustophoresis technique, utilizing ultrasonic standing wave forces for the removal of platelets from PBPC products. By applying an acoustic standing wave field onto a continuously flowing cell suspension in a micro

Morphologic Change by Overwash: Establishing and Evaluating Predictors

The ability to predict cross-shore profile response to coastal overwash is important for both understanding how barrier islands respond to overwash and for disaster management on developed coastlines. This study establishes morphologic and hydrodynamic parameters for predicting the type of cross-shore profile response following overwash for given pre-storm profile and storm conditions. More than 5

Return to Work Outcomes of the Redesigning Daily Occupations (ReDO) Program for Women with Stress-Related Disorders: A Comparative Study : a comparative study focusing on return to Work

Stress-related disorders are a frequent cause for sick leave, with consequences such as great distress and adverse economic effects for the affected person and substantial costs for society. Identifying effective interventions that facilitate return to work is thus important. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the 16-week Redesigning Daily Occupations program as a work reha

Effects of naturopathic medicines on Multiplate and ROTEM: a prospective experimental pilot study in healthy volunteers.

Of patients undergoing surgery, 22 to 57 % have been reported to be using naturopathic medicines. Several of these medicines have been reported to increase bleeding or enhance the effect of other drugs that increase bleeding. The Swedish Medical Products Agency recommends cessation of the use of the naturopathic medicines echinacea, fish oil, ginkgo biloba, ginseng, St. John's wort, valeriana and

Streamer current in a three-electrode system

A study has been conducted on positive streamer discharges in air at atmospheric conditions for a three-electrode system. The electrode system consisted of two parallel planes (one grounded and one supplied with a negative dc voltage) and a small, insulated needle, sticking out from the center of the grounded plane. A triggering positive square impulse voltage of 5 mus duration was applied to the

A Subjective Effort Estimation Experiment

Abstract Effort estimation is difficult in general, and in software development it becomes even more complicated if the software process is changed. In this paper a number of alternative interview-based effort estimation methods is presented. The main focus of the paper is to present an experiment in which software engineers were asked to use different methods to estimate the actual effort it woul

Combined effects of brachial pulse pressure and sialic acid for risk of cardiovascular events during 40 years of follow-up in 37 843 individuals.

OBJECTIVE: Pulse pressure (PP) is a risk marker for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in individuals 50 years and older. Inflammation is suggested to influence atherosclerosis, but could also increase PP. We aimed to examine the combined effects of PP and the inflammatory marker sialic acid, and their independent roles on CVD risk. METHODS: From a population-based study in Sweden between 1962 and 196

Hydrographic and morphologic processes at Falsterbo peninsula - Present conditions and future scenarios

Popular Abstract in Swedish Den tilltagande växthuseffekten förväntas innebära en global vattenståndshöjning samt klimatförändringar. En sådan utveckling är ogynnsam för låglänta sandkuster som de runt Falsterbohalvön. I denna avhandling diskuteras framtida höga vattenstånd tilsammans med tänkbara konsekvenser för Falsterbohalvön. Dessutom har kustnära vågor och sandtransport samt grundvattennivåeFalsterbo Peninsula in the south-west corner of Sweden is low-lying and built up of unconsolidated sand. Vulnerability to high water levels and wave action is of concern for the 10,000 residents of the peninsula, especially in consideration of global warming as enhanced inundation and coastal erosion problems may ensue. Rational counteractions of such problems are possible only through sufficient

Storytelling and Listening: Co-creating Understandings

As sentient and social beings, we live in hope that we can be understood when we try to communicate with each other but we also know that we might be wrong. We strive for better understandings, engaging in an on-going ‘dance’ of collective sense-making. This paper considers how communication among individuals involves co-creation of meaning by exploring narratives – those expressed by a speaker an
