The article discusses different approaches to Gerhard Richter's use of surface in his paintings.

Objective To assess intraobserver and interobserver variability in ovarian volume and gray-scale and color flow index measurements using transvaginal, three-dimensional, power Doppler ultrasonography. Methods Eleven women (22 ovaries) were examined on day 8 of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation therapy, which was part of their in vitro fertilization treatment protocol. The patients were examined

The aim of this study is to describe how ”drama in training” is experienced by student nurses and nurse tutors as well as to describe whether the students feel that there is a connection between their participation in drama, their personal development and their own preparation for their future profession. The study´s starting point has been that the students need support with regard to their perso

The point of departure for See and Seen text, website and exhibition) is the conventions of the Ideal Landscapes painted in Rome during the 17th century by artists such as Claude Lorrain and Nicolas Poussin. In 18th century England this translated into a particular gaze that became the fashion for how, and the parameters within which, the landscape was to be seen and that subsequently gave rise to

CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP)alpha is a myeloid-specific transcription factor that couples lineage commitment to terminal differentiation and cell cycle arrest, and is found mutated in 9% of patients who have acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We previously showed that mutations which dissociate the ability of C/EBP alpha to block cell cycle progression through E2F inhibition from its function

BACKGROUND: The 30-item disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand (DASH) questionnaire is increasingly used in clinical research involving upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders. From the original DASH a shorter version, the 11-item QuickDASH, has been developed. Little is known about the discriminant ability of score changes for the QuickDASH compared to the DASH. The aim of this study was to

Assessment of the fire behaviour of sandwich panels is continuously under discussion. The fire behaviour of these panels is a combination of material characteristics such as the core material and mechanical behaviour of the panels such as joints, dilations etc. The use of small or intermediate scale tests can be questioned for such types of products. Within the proposed European product standard

Comment rendre compte du développement de l’accord sujet-verbe chez des apprenants adultes L2? Nous voulons montrer le caractère extrèmement lent et graduel de l’accord sujet-verb en français parlé, un développement qui nous semble compatible avec la fréquence des formes/fonctions en question dans l’input.

An analytical procedure based on microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) and standard addition was applied for the determination of banned azo dyes in bovine, sheep, and goat leather. Standard addition at four different concentration levels was performed using azo dyes, dissolved either in methanol or water. All dyes were determined indirectly by measuring their corresponding harmful aromatic amines,

The inhibitory innervation of guinea-pig urethral smooth muscle was investigated histochemically and functionally. The distribution of immunoreactivities to haem oxygenases (HO), neuronal NO synthase (nNOS), and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) was studied, and the functional effects of the corresponding putative transmitters, CO, NO, and VIP, were assessed. HO-2 immunoreactivity was found

This article aims to illuminate the complexities involved in efforts to influence China's energy future. It brings forth three observations. First: China's authoritarian appearance is deceptive. Second: learning about concealed but pivotal actors and their motivations is not easy but important. Third: technology diffusion is obstructed by differences in expectations. Three summarising messages con

Aim: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a prominent cause of airway morbidity in children under 1 y of age. It is assumed that host factors influence the severity of disease presentation, and thus the need for hospitalization. The variation of IGHG genes from chromosome 14q32 are linked to serum IgG subclass levels but also to the variations in IgG responses to pneumococcal, meningococcal and Ha

A review of the book "Bibliotekarerne: En profession i et felt af viden, kommunikation och teknologi", discussing how the library profession has developed during the 20th century, with a focus on contemporary development; and in relation to technological change, changes in society and academia, as well as in how professions are analyzed.

This article outlines a laboratory study on sulphate resistance of self-compacting concrete (SCC). For this purpose, more than 40 cylinders of concrete were subjected to a solution with sodium sulphate, sea or distilled water during 900 days. Age at start of testing was either 28 or 90 days. Weight and internal fundamental frequency (IFF) were measured. Comparison was done with the corresponding p

Background. The aim of this study was to investigate differences in use of antenatal care in a multi-ethnic population in Malmo, Sweden, over a 4-year period. Age, parity, cohabiting status, use of an interpreter, and tobacco-use were examined to assess the potential effects of confounding factors. Methods. A 4-year (2000-2003) retrospective community-based register study was performed. Low-risk s
