Moisture penetration in a chair seat as a response to daily RH variations in the indoor air

In the indoor environment there are a number of materials with potential to act as moisture buffers including both building materials and furnishing materials. For daily moisture variations in the indoor air furniture with upholstery can play an important role as moisture buffers. Material properties and calculation models describing the response to moisture variations in the ambient climate for t

Induction of platelet thrombi by bacteria and antibodies.

We have characterized 2 distinct mechanisms through which infectious agents may promote platelet adhesion and thrombus formation in flowing blood, thus contributing to the progression of disease. In one case, the process initiates when the integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) mediates platelet arrest onto immobilized bacterial constituents that have bound plasma fibrinogen. If blood contains antibodies agai

Vicious cycles of sleeplessness: A new scale for insomnia

Worries about sleep, negative expectations of sleep, and frustration about sleep loss are assumed to play an important role in the development of insomnia. Eight items designed to measure aspects of vicious cycles of sleeplessness (VCS), on which insomnia patients and controls were found to differ in an earlier study, were used to form a new VCS scale. A sleep questionnaire including the VCS scale

Transient waves in non-stationary media

This paper treats propagation of transient waves in non-stationary media, which has many applications in e.g. electromagnetics and acoustics. The underlying hyperbolic equation is a general, homogeneous, linear, first order 2×2 system of equations. The coefficients in this system depend only on one spatial coordinate and time. Furthermore, memory effects are modeled by integral kernels, which, in
