A systematic study of compounds formed by solvolysis of Cu in a solution of iodine in acetol in the presence of homotetraalkylammonium iodide has resulted in five new compounds: catena tetrakis (tetramethylammonium) bis(mu(3)-iodo)-mu(2)-iodo-tri-copper(I), hexakis(tetrabutylammonium) tetrakis(mu(3)-iodo)-tris(mu(2)-iodo)-di-iodo-hexa-copper(I) pentakis(mu(3)-iodo)-tetrakis(mu(2)-iodo)-di-iodo-hep

During the last decade, several screening programs for pharmaceuticals at Swedish wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have been conducted by research institutes, county councils, and wastewater treatment companies. In this study, influent and effluent concentrations compiled from these screening programs were used to assess the occurrence and reduction of non-antibiotic pharmaceuticals for human u

The properties of two-component fermionic quantum systems in two dimensions, such as they nowadays may be realized with cold atoms in traps, are studied within the pairing model adapted from nuclear physics. We compare the results with those of a full numerical diagonalization of the many-body Hamiltonian. The chemical potential differences, excitation energies and angular momentum spectra show th

We have performed the first measurement of the coherent psi(2S) photo-production cross section in ultraperipheral Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC. This charmonium excited state is reconstructed via the psi(2S) -> l(+)l(-) and ->(2S) -> J/psi pi(+)pi(-) decays, where the J/psi decays into two leptons. The analysis is based on an event sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 22 mu b(-1

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hur lurar mördarbakterier våra celler? Neutrofiler och fagocytos räddar liv Utan vårt immunförsvar så skulle vi snabbt dö i infektioner från mikroorganismer. Det består ett komplicerat system av celler och molekyler som tillsammans kan klara av att stå emot attacker från bakterier, virus, svampar eller parasiter. Cellerna i immunförsvaret utgörs av vita blodkroppar ochNeutrophils are our most numerous and deadly white blood cells and without them we would succumb quickly to infections by pathogens. The main mechanism that the neutrophils employ for our protection is phagocytosis, where they eat and enclose their target inside a membrane-bound organelle, the phagosome. Neutrophil phagosomes are highly dynamic entities, and a large amount of antimicrobial substan

The behavior of the surviving population of Lactobacillus plantarum 564 growing in MRS broth after pulsed electric field (PEF) treatments of different intensities was monitored by isothermal calorimetry, optical density and plate counts. Bacterial cells were treated with monopolar square pulses at varying nominal electric field strengths and number of pulses, corresponding to applied energies of 3

High-spin states in I-123 have been populated in the Se-80(Ca-48, p4n) I-123 reaction at 207 MeV and gamma-ray coincidence events have been recorded with the Gammasphere spectrometer. The level scheme of I-123 has been extended up to spin I = 63/2. The nucleus undergoes a shape transition from moderately deformed states with collective rotation at low spins to noncollective oblate configurations a

Molecularly imprinted nanoparticles were encapsulated into polymer nanofibers with a simple electrospinning method. The composite nanofibers form non-woven mats that can be used as affinity membrane to greatly simplify solid phase extraction of drug residues in analytical samples. Upward 100% of propranolol-imprinted nanoparticles can be easily encapsulated into poly(ethylene terephthalate) nanofi

A low-power high linearity CMOS G(m)-C channel select filter for WLAN/WiMAX receivers in 90-nm CMOS technology is presented. To reduce power consumption a biquad cell with simple architecture is used. A simple but efficient technique is also proposed to improve the linearity of the filter without increasing its power consumption. Coarse and fine tuning techniques are used to tune the cutoff freque

From the network layer perspective, the problem of burst losses is one of the most challenging problems which restrain the development of optical burst switching (OBS) networks. Indeed, OBS is a buffer-less technology and the consequent lack of guarantees for data delivery may affect significantly the quality of service (QoS) perceived by end users. To overcome these obstacles, dedicated network m

NADH:quinone oxidoreductase or complex I is a large membrane bound enzyme complex that has evolved from the combination of smaller functional building blocks. Intermediate size enzyme complexes exist in nature that comprise some, but not all of the protein subunits in full size 14-subunit complex I. The membrane spanning complex I subunits NuoL, NuoM and NuoN are homologous to each other and to tw

This is a study of the spatial structure in relation to female characters within video games with Nordic mythological themes. The understanding of space and its structure starts with an under-standing of the people who are creat-ing and constructing it. The study involves their beliefs, their social relations and their urban infrastructure and their correspondence to the Nordic mythology. When lo

A surface-sediment survey of pigments in 100 lakes in the Scandes Mountains, northern Sweden, was combined with a reconstruction of Holocene sedimentary pigments from Lake Seukokjaure to assess the major factors regulating phototrophic communities, and how these controls may have changed during the period from the deglaciation (similar to 9700 cal. years BP) to the present. The study area covers a

A search for the electroweak pair production of charged sleptons and weak gauginos decaying into final states with two leptons is performed using 4.7 fb(-1) of proton-proton collision data at root s = 7 TeV recorded with the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. No significant excesses are observed with respect to the prediction from Standard Model processes. In the scenario of direct sle

NMR has contributed greatly to our current understanding of self-association, phase behaviour, and molecular dynamics in aqueous systems of oligo(ethylene oxide) mono-alkyl ether (CmEn) nonionic surfactants, which are extensively used in both basic scientific studies and technical applications as emulsifying agents and detergents. This review provides a comprehensive but concise overview of the va

Aim and objectives. To assess the psychometric characteristics of the Icelandic European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer IN-PATSAT32 (EORTC IN-PATSAT32) version and to compare satisfaction with care between gender and different age groups. Background. The majority of patients with cancer receive either chemotherapy or radiotherapy on an outpatient basis. There is a need to evalua
