Steady three-dimensional rotational flows : An approach via two stream functions and Nash-Moser iteration

We consider the stationary flow of an inviscid and incompressible fluid of constant density in the region D = (0, L) × ℝ2. We are concerned with flows that are periodic in the second and third variables and that have prescribed flux through each point of the boundary ∂D. The Bernoulli equation states that the "Bernoulli function" H := 1/2 |v|2 + p (where v is the velocity field and p the pressure)

Murine HSCs contribute actively to native hematopoiesis but with reduced differentiation capacity upon aging

A hallmark of adult hematopoiesis is the continuous replacement of blood cells with limited lifespans. While active hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) contribution to multilineage hematopoiesis is the foundation of clinical HSC transplantation, recent reports have questioned the physiological contribution of HSCs to normal/steady-state adult hematopoiesis. Here, we use inducible lineage tracing from ge

Hydration-Dependent Hierarchical Structures in Block Copolymer-Surfactant Complex Salts

Block copolymer-surfactant "complex salts" (BCPCS), containing one neutral water-soluble block and one polyion/surfactant-ion block, were prepared from poly(acrylamide)-block-poly(acrylic acid) block copolymers by neutralizing the acrylate charges with cationic dodecyl- or hexadecyltrimethylammonium surfactant counterions. The BCPCS were studied in hydrated samples containing 20-99 wt % water (and

A Nonlinear PID Autotuning Algorithm

A nonlinear autotuning regulator algorithm is obtained via a direct combination of the Åström-Hägglund algorithm for the linear case [1] with the sinusoidal-input describing function (SIDEF) approach to nonlinear compensator synthesis of Taylor and Strobel [2]. The basic approach for linear autotuning proceeds as follows: a. install a relay with hysteresis in series with the unknown plant to be co

Comparing effects of 4 months of two self-administered exercise training programs on physical performance in patients with chronic kidney disease : RENEXC - A randomized controlled trial

Background Exercise training is recommended to patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the level of evidence is still low. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) compared two different and self-administered exercise training programs in a representative CKD population. Methods This single centre RCT included 151 non-dialysis dependent CKD patients, irrespective of age and comorbidity.

Cellulose-based edible films for probiotic entrapment

Encapsulation with edible films is a promising approach that may solve the disadvantages associated with the use of bioactive compounds as food additives. This is particularly relevant in the case of probiotics, since their stability in food matrices and in the gastrointestinal tract may be rather poor. Therefore, new cellulose-based edible films have been successfully developed and characterized.

Interrater agreement of EEG interpretation in comatose post cardiac arrest patients

Question: What is the interrater agreement of EEG interpretation in adult comatose post cardiac arrest patients using the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society (ACNS) standardized critical care EEG terminology? Methods: The EEG-data were obtained from patients included in the Target Temperature Management trial (TTM), an international, multicenter, clinical trial of temperature management in c

The simultaneous multi-species Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence technique plays an important role in studying the flame structure and the two-dimensional distribution of intermediate species in combustion. The experimental system of OH/CH2O/Acetone-PLIF was built in order to study the CH4-Air inverse diffusion jet (IDJ) flame. The system consists of two sets of lasers, two intensifier-CCD cameras

Children who face development risks due to maternal addiction during pregnancy require extra medical and psychosocial resources

Aim: This study examined medical and psychosocial risk factors in children born to women with addiction problems during pregnancy and the children's needs for extra medical and psychosocial resources. Methods: Swedish midwives routinely screen pregnant women for drugs and alcohol and refer women with addictions to the Maternity and Child Healthcare Resource Team. We investigated the medical record

Mellan deltagande och inflytande. En kartläggning av brukarråd i Skånes kommuner

Denna rapport analyserar kommunala brukarråd rörande missbruks- ochberoendevård, äldreomsorg samt frågor kring psykiska och fysiskafunktionshinder. Rapporten utgår från en enkätundersökning av brukarråd i allaSkånes kommuner. Tjänstemän med ansvar för de kommunala brukarråden ficksvara på frågor om förekomst av brukarråd, vilka organisationer som medverkar ide olika kommunala brukarråden, vilka er

Common marmosets are sensitive to simple dependencies at variable distances in an artificial grammar

Recognizing that two elements within a sequence of variable length depend on each other is a key ability in understanding the structure of language and music. Perception of such interdependencies has previously been documented in chimpanzees in the visual domain and in human infants and common squirrel monkeys with auditory playback experiments, but it remains unclear whether it typifies primates
