OBJECTIVES: An increased risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in users of anxiolytic-hypnotic drugs (AHD) has been reported, and use of analgesics may be an additional factor. Therefore, we examined the association of AHD and analgesic use, alone and in combination, with all-cause and ischaemic heart disease (IHD) mortality. METHODS: Multivariate 10-year survival analysis in a population

Abstract in German Grundlegende Daten zur Beurteilung der thermischen Beanspruchung während der Arbeit in Schutzkleidung wurden im europäischen Verbundprojekt THERMPROTECT (EU Contract-No. G6RD-CT-2002-00846) mit Untersuchungen des durch die Kleidung erhöhten Energieumsatzes und des Transports von Wärme und Feuchte unter Kältebelastung sowie bei Einwirkung von Wärmestrahlung erhoben. Der Eingang d

The frame story in Parsifal is situated in a dystopian Europe, devastated, war-weary and in a state of shock and decay. Main protagonists are a retired general, Piscator (cf. Fisher King) and a middle aged unemployed female journalist, Perle Vaus (cf.Perlesvaus/Perceval/Parsifal). With her questions Perle is trying to help the general to write his memoirs in a truthful way. The game with time a

I mitt föredrag kommer jag se närmare på hur lik älvdalskan är de nordiska atlantspråken, isländska och färöiska; det är ju något som ofta framhålls att älvdalskan skulle mer än andra skandinaviska dialekter ha likheter med öspråken. Jag kommer i stort sett att inskränka mig till morfologin(ordböjningen).

A high-spin rotational band has been observed in the N=90 nucleus 160Yb with very similar moment of inertia and decay characteristics to recently discovered sequences in 157,158Er which have been discussed in terms of strongly deformed triaxial structures. Well-deformed triaxial shapes are indeed expected in 160Yb at high spin and detailed cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations have been performe

In this paper, physical limitations on antennas are presented based on the holomorphic properties of the forward scattering dyadic. As a direct consequence of causality and energy conservation, a forward dispersion relation for the extinction cross section is established, and isoperimetric inequalities for the partial realized gain and partial directivity are derived for antennas of arbitrary shap

A comprehensive risk analysis makes use of different datasets. Marine incidents data are essentially important datasets. The purpose of this study is to analyse marine incident databases in the BSR (Baltic Sea Region). The marine incident data in the region are inhabited by a wide rage of issues, such as limited data accessibility and availability, and the diversity in data quality, structure, amo
