Enamel matrix derivative, obtained from developing porcine teeth, is composed mainly of amelogenin proteins and used topically in periodontal surgery for advanced periodontitis to regenerate lost connective tissues. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the effects of enamel matrix derivative on skin wound healing. Secondly, in vitro effects of enamel matrix derivative on dermal f
Purpose: The incidence of urinary incontinence increases with age but the cause and effect relationship between aging and altered bladder function is poorly understood. It was suggested that melatonin can ameliorate negative effects induced by aging by its free radical scavenging activity and its ability to decrease oxidative stress. We investigated the changes in bladder function evoked by aging
The thermal reaction of Co film deposited on Si(111) surfaces by a high current filter metal vacuum arc (FMEVAD) system has been studied. After deposition the films were annealed over the 400-900 degrees C temperature range for 30 min. Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) was used to characterize the elemental depth distributions in the films subjected to different annealing temperatures.
Slides from two lectures given at the commemoration of the Nyquist Hall at Karlstad Institute of Technology. The first lecture presents Nyquist's stability criterion and discusses its consequences for the field of Automatic Control. The second lecture (in Swedish) gives a shorter but broader presentation of Nyquist's contributions to communication and control.
The current knowledge on lipoprotein secretion from the heart is examined in this article. The ability of cells to secrete apolipoprotein B (apo-B) containing lipoproteins depends on expression of the apo-B and microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) genes. Initially, it was shown that both genes are expressed in cardiac myocytes of mice and humans. Electron microscopy of human cardiac myoc
Excited states of Ga-65 and Ga-67 nuclei were populated through the C-12(Ni-58,alpha p) and C-12(Ni-58,3p) reactions, respectively, and investigated by in-beam gamma-ray spectroscopic methods. The NORDBALL array equipped with a charged particle ball and 11 neutron detectors was used to detect the evaporated particles and gamma rays. The level schemes of Ga-6.5.67 were constructed On the basis of g
Are you interested in or curious about Batch Control, ISA S88, and/or Plant Automation in general, then this whitepaper is for you.
In the following three pages you will learn the basics about Batch Control and ISA S88 and you will understand how you can benefit from knowing them. For a deeper understanding I recommend you to read the other whitepapers in this series as well as reading the ISA
During the spring of 2003 ninety-five water bodies in southeastern Estonia were surveyed for chrysophytes. The sampling was carried out as the ice broke up, when, within two weeks, the water temperature rose from 3 degrees C to 13 degrees C. Large lakes to small pools of different water chemistry were investigated. The plankton collected was studied alive within a few hours after sampling. Prepara
The Department of English in Lund: Working Papers in Linguistics is an annual volume produced by the English Department at Lund University in Sweden. Its main aim is to publicize research being carried out by staff and post-graduate students in the department, but we are also pleased to include contributions from members of neighbouring departments and universities. The contributions in volume 3
Electrostatic effects often dominate the behavior of charged surfactant systems. While descriptions on the level of the Poisson-Boltzmann equation are successful in describing many important features of such systems, they cannot predict those specific ion effects arising when changing counterions of the same valency and they often fail in predicting effects due to changing from a monovalent to a d
Hexahydrophthalic anhydride (HHPA; CAS No. 13149-00-3) is a highly allergenic compound commonly used in the chemical industry. Guinea pigs and rats were exposed to [3H2]HHPA by inhalation for 3-8 h and were killed at various intervals during 7 days. The tissue distribution of non-volatile and covalently bound radioactivity was studied by autoradiography. Tissue bound radioactivity was mainly found
The report describes three investigations of emissions from alkali attack on adhesives and floorings. The investigations show that low alkali levelling compounds, based on calcium aluminate cement, can act as a protection against secondary emissions of 1-butanol and 2-ethylhexanol, provided that the humidity does not exceed a critical level, which with some safety margin is recommended to be 90% R
