The overall aim of this thesis was to describe changes in the prevalence and severity of periodontal diseases and to identify risk factors for severe periodontal disease in adults living in Jönköping County, Sweden, by analysing the cross-sectional, epidemiological studies that had been carried out in the city of Jönköping in 1973, 1983, and 1993. Individuals were randomly selected from the follow

Background and Purpose-Patients treated with oral anticoagulants (ACs) have an increased risk of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), which is more often fatal than spontaneous ICH. Options to reverse the AC effect include intravenous administration of vitamin K, plasma, and coagulation factor concentrate. However, the optimal management of AC-related ICH has not been determined in any randomized trial

PURPOSE: To determine the normal values of the anterior and posterior capsular distances of the hip joint in healthy children by means of US, using MR imaging as reference, and to evaluate any possible correlation between age, length, weight and anterior capsular distance (ACD). MATERIAL AND METHODS: In our first study both hips in 14 healthy children (5-18 years old) were examined with US and MR

Analys av FW Murnaus Nosferatu (1922) och den fiktionaliserade berättelsen om inspelningen av filmen i Elias Merhiges Shadow of the Vampire (2000).

BACKGROUND: To study the relationship between different types of acidemia in umbilical artery blood at birth, fetal heart rate (FHR) patterns during labor, and infant long-term outcome. METHODS: Case-control study of 48 infants with pure high base deficit (base deficit (BD) > or = 12 mmol/L and pCO2 < 8.0 kPa), 51 with mixed acidemia (BD > or = 12 mmol/L and pCO2 > or = 8.0 kPa), born at or after

Numerous polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based methods have been developed and used increasingly to screen vertebrate blood samples for the diagnosis of haemosporidian blood parasites (Sporozoa, Haemosporida), but a rigorous evaluation of the sensitivity of these methods for detecting mixed infections of different haemosporidian species belonging to the same and different genera and subgenera is l

This paper takes the treatment of antonymy in Collins COBUILD Advanced Learner's English Dictionary (2003) as the point of departure for a discussion about the principles of antonym inclusion in dictionaries and corpus methodologies in lexicology. CCALED includes canonical antonyms such as good/ bad and dead/alive, as well as more contextually restricted pairings such as hot/ mild and flat/fizzy.

We present a complete Monte Carlo simulation of the transport properties of a Si/SiGe quantum well. The scattering mechanisms, viz. intervalley phonons, acoustic phonons, interface roughness and impurity scattering (including resonant scattering), are considered in detail, and we derive analytic expressions for the scattering rates, in each case properly taking the quantized electron wave function

For linear time-invariant systems Bode's sensitivity integral is a well-known formula that quantifies some of thelimitations in feedback control. In this paper we show that a very similar formula holds for linear time-periodicsystems. We use the infinite-dimensional frequency-response operator called the harmonic transfer function to prove the result. It is shown that the harmonic transfer functio

Popular Abstract in Swedish Blekinge tillhörde före freden i Roskilde 1658 Danmark. De östdanska provinserna erövrades av svenskarna och integrerades i det svenska riket. Övergångsproblematiken har i äldre forskning ofta diskuterats och analyserats med begrepp hämtade från en senare tids nationella föreställningar. Men var de motsättningar och konflikter som utvecklades i Blekinge efter övergångenThe object of this thesis is to examine the incorporation of the former Danish province of Blekinge into Sweden after the Treaty of Roskilde in 1658. This question has been analysed before but such studies have usually been coloured by the use of national ideas and notions born of a later age than the period under examination. This thesis analyses the so-called Transition Problem using theoretical

Background: The Multiple Outcomes of Raloxifene Evaluation (MORE) study showed that treatment with raloxifene reduces the risk of vertebral fracture and breast cancer in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. Objective: Based on the MORE study the aim of the present study was to assess the cost effectiveness of raloxifene (compared with no treatment) for the treatment of osteoporosis in postmenop

The leptoproduction of J/psi mesons is studied in inelastic reactions for four momentorri transfers 2 < Q(2) < 100GeV(2). The data were taken with the H1 detector at the electron proton collider HERA and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 77 pb(-1). Single differential and double differential cross sections are measured with increased precision compared with previous analyses. New leading o

Dating the transgression and subsequent regression in marginal basins of the southeastern Swedish Baltic Sea provides a new perspective of global ice-volume changes and the isostatic adjustment of the mantle after the retreat of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet from this area. Superimposed upon a smooth pattern of local sea-level rise, acceleration occurred ca. 7600 calibrated (cal) yr B.P., evidenced a

We have investigated the C-60 monolayer on Al(l 10) with angle-dependent photoelectron spectroscopy. We find that orbital components have different angular distributions. Calculations of cross sections of the highest occupied molecular orbital components for free, oriented C-60 are found to describe the experimental data quite well. The observed band splitting is attributed to intramolecular elect
