Kemiteknikprogrammet fick en ny utbildningsplan 2001. Enligt den gamla utbildningsplanen fanns det en valfri kurs i numerisk analys under årskurs 4 med ett fåtal studenter. I den nya utbildningsplanen integrerades numeriska metoder med kemiteknik redan under första terminen. Metoder undervisas där problemställningen finns. Vi har valt att kalla undervisningen i numeriska metoder för beräkningstekn

The region of neutron-rich nuclei beyond 208Pb has been very difficult to explore due to its high mass and exoticity. However, recent experimental improvements allowed one to perform a quite extended isomer decay spectroscopy of these nuclei.

Artikeln presenterar resultat från en enkätundersökning bland 2000 personer bosatta i Sverige. I enkäten ställdes bland annat frågor om synen på förhållandet mellan naturvetenskap och religion. Resultaten ger vid handen att man uppfattar naturvetenskap och religion som kompletterande varandra, och att denna uppfattning är vanligare med högre utbildning. Uttalade ateister uppfattar i hög utsträckni

Abstract Retroperitoneal ectopic pregnancies are extremely rare and a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge as an early diagnosis is difficult and all treatments entail a risk for severe bleeding. We present a case of a live completely retroperitoneal ectopic pregnancy in the right obturator fossa. Following 3D color Doppler vaginal ultrasonography to evaluate the relation to larger blood vessels t

Many insects perceive the E-vector orientation of polarized skylight and use it for compass navigation. In locusts, polarized light is detected by photoreceptors of the dorsal rim area of the eye. Polarized light signals from both eyes are integrated in the central complex (CC), a group of neuropils in the center of the brain. Thirteen types of CC neuron are sensitive to dorsally presented, polari

Functional imaging is becoming increasingly important for the detection of neurodegenerative disorders. Perfusion MRI with arterial spin labeling (ASL) has been reported to provide promising diagnostic possibilities but is not yet widely used in routine clinical work. The aim of this study was to compare, in a clinical setting, the visual assessment of subtracted ASL CBF maps with and without addi

Fatty acids (FA) have crucial functions in animals, affecting e.g. inflammatory responses, thermoregulation, and cell membrane fluidity. Diet and ambient temperature affect animals’ FA composition, which, in turn, may influence these physiological processes. Great tit (Parus major) −common in both urban and rural habitats− are mainly granivorous during winter and insectivorous during summer. These

Ductal pancreatic adenocarcinoma is associated with a very poor prognosis and most patients are given palliative care. Chemotherapy in the form of gemcitabine has been found to reduce disease-related pain, and the otherwise frequently occurring weight changes, to increase Karnofsky performance status and quality of life and has also resulted in a modest improvement in survival time. The intracellu

BACKGROUND: Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is much less common in the upper than in the lower extremity. Furthermore, there is limited information on risk factors for and the prognosis of upper extremity (UE)DVT in the general population. AIMS: To estimate incidence, risk factors, and prognosis in UEDVT. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Among a total of 1203 patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) diagnosed

To evaluate if dietary vitamin D intake is adequate for sufficient vitamin D status during early winter in children living in Sweden, irrespective of latitude or skin color.

In an earlier study, infection of human pancreatic islets with epidemic strains of echovirus (E4, E16, E30), with proven but differently ability to induce islet autoimmunity, resulted either in a severe damage (i.e. E16 and E30) or proceeded without visible changes in infected islets (i.e. E4). In this study, the ability of these strains to replicate in beta cells and the consequence of such an in

Preclinical studies have indicated that there is only partial cross-resistance between cisplatin and oxaliplatin. The molecular background for this is incompletely known. To investigate the differences in resistance, we rendered a colon cancer cell line (S1) resistant against cisplatin and oxaliplatin and characterized the subclones with regard to cross-resistance, platinum uptake, and gene expres
