The movie shows E. coli bacteria (strain DSM 1116) attached to a grain of sand. The size of the sand grain is approx. 0.85 mm. The SEM (scanning electron microscope) pictures were taken within a laboratory experiment, measuring the influence of different concentration of E. coli bacteria to the Induced Polarization (IP) method in frequency- and time-domain (LINKIP project, funded by the European U

De pågående globaliseringsprocesserna har gett upphov till ett allt större motstånd bland en påstådd homogen enhet som benämns vårt folk och som binder samman medborgarna som bebor landet och som delar dess politiska, sociala och kulturella egenskaper. I detta sammanhang har de högerradikala populistiska partierna som påstår sig försvara folkets verkliga politiska intressen och vilja fått en allt

Starch is one of the main carbohydrates in food; it is formed by two polysaccharides: amylose and amylopectin. The granule size of starch varies with different botanical origins and ranges from less than 1 μm to more than 100 μm. Some physicochemical and functional properties vary with the size of the granule, which makes it of great interest to find an efficient and accurate size-based separatio

Acknowledging that globalisation discourses privilege masculinities, the present article moves the focus from the manifestations of hegemony of globalising masculinities in the business sphere as motors of global patriachy. Instead it evidences the strategies for survival and/or reassertion of gender hierarchies centred on the traditional masculinities fostered by radical right populist (RRP) part

Glomerular filtration is the most important kidney function. The most accurate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimates are based on the clearance of exogenous filtration markers. Of these, iohexol is the only exogenous marker that is included in an external quality assessment (EQA) scheme. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the performance of the European laboratories participating in

Aims: The aim was to investigate associations between the experience of parental separation/divorce in childhood and tobacco smoking in adulthood, adjusting for economic stress in childhood and adulthood and psychological health (General Health Questionnaire GHQ12). Methods: The 2012 public-health survey in Skåne, southern Sweden, is a cross-sectional postal questionnaire population-based study wi

α1-Adrenergic receptors from the cultured smooth muscle cell line (DDT1 MF-2) have been solubilized with digitonin and purified to apparent homogeneity by sequential chromatography on a biospecific affinity support (Sepharose-A55453 (4-amino-6,7-dimethoxy-2-[4-[5-(4-amino-3-phenyl)pentanoyl]- 1-piperazinyl]-quinazoline), an α1 receptor-selective antagonist), a wheat germ agglutinin-agarose gel, an

BACKGROUND: Renal dysfunction is an established risk factor for cardiovascular disease, but early disease states in both organs are poorly studied.OBJECTIVE: This cross-sectional population-based study aims to investigate if there is an early association between kidney function and echocardiographic markers of cardiac structure and diastolic function.METHODS: The study population consisted of 1,50

Scarcity of in situ measurements of greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes hamper calibration and validation of continental assessments of carbon budgets in Africa. It limits essential studies of ecosystem functioning and ecosystem processes. Wide reported ranges of estimated African net primary production (NPP) and gross primary production (GPP) is a function of the uncertainty originating from this scarcit

OBJECTIVE: Rapid and early detection of patients at risk to develop sepsis remains demanding. Heparin-binding protein (HBP) has previously demonstrated good prognostic properties in detecting organ dysfunction among patients with suspected infections. This study aimed to evaluate the plasma-levels of HBP as a prognostic biomarker for infection-induced organ dysfunction among patients seeking medic

Proinsulin-connecting peptide (C-peptide) exerts physiological effects partially via stimulation of Na+, K+-ATPase. We determined the molecular mechanism by which C-peptide stimulates Na+,K +-ATPase in primary human renal tubular cells (HRTCs). Incubation of the cells with 5 nM human C-peptide at 37°C for 10 min stimulated 86Rb+ uptake by 40% (p
