Transient experiments are one of many techniques available to study heterogeneous catalysis and the catalysts used. The results obtained by transient experiments contain valuable information that is helpful in explaining reaction mechanism and interaction at the catalytic surface. The work that was performed covers areas that reach from the selective (ammoxidation) and complete oxidation of propan
Coordinating a software project across distances is challenging. Even without geographical and time zone distances, other distances within a project can cause communication gaps. For example, organisational and cognitive distances between product owners and development-near roles such as developers and testers can lead to weak alignment of the software and the business requirements. Applying good
Lärande över nätet innebär ett förändrat tänkande för både lärare och studenter. Med den lyckade fort- och vidareutbildningskursen medicinsk fysik för gymnasielärare som exempel, diskuteras i det följande lärandemodell, erfarenheter och faktorer som är viktiga för att nå framgång med en kurs. Det primära syftet med kursen är att ge fysiklärare bättre förutsättningar att undervisa fysik och teknik
Popular Abstract in Swedish När en organism utsätts för stress, t. ex. vid hög temperatur, starkt solljus, torka eller köld, produceras särskilda hjälpar-proteiner, s. k. ¨stress-proteiner¨. Syntesen av cellens normala proteiner stängs av och istället produceras bara stress-proteiner. Dessa stress-proteiner är till för att skydda andra protein som skadas under stress. De s. k. ¨värme-stress¨ proteA specific group of heat shock proteins, the so called small heat shock proteins (sHsps), exists in all organisms but are especially abundant in plants. The sHsps prevent aggregation of other proteins (substrate proteins) during transient heat and oxidative stress. Molten globule forms of the substrate proteins are kept in a re-folding competent state by binding onto the outer surface of the sHsp.
BACKGROUND: Optimal glucose control in juvenile type 1 diabetes mellitus is necessary but not sufficient to reduce the burden of cardiovascular events in later life. This emphasizes the importance of searching for other possible risk factors associated with diabetes. We investigated whether recurrent episodes of acute respiratory infections and exposure to tobacco smoke could influence vascular ph
OBJECTIVE:: Sweden experienced a marked epidemic of celiac disease between 1984 and 1996 in children younger than 2 years of age, partly explained by changes in infant feeding. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of celiac disease in 12-year-olds born during the epidemic (1993), including both symptomatic and screening detected cases. PATIENTS AND METHODS:: All sixth-grade
Since the 1990s, numerous studies on the relationship between parents and their children have been reported on in the literature and implemented as a philosophy of care in most paediatric units. The purpose of this article is to understand the process of nurses' care for children in a paediatric setting by using Noddings's caring ethics theory. Noddings's theory is in part described from a theoret
OBJECTIVE: This article, based on the Early Manifest Glaucoma Trial (EMGT), provides prospective natural history data on progression of glaucomatous field defects in 3 of the most common glaucoma types. DESIGN: Cohort of EMGT patients randomized to the untreated control group and followed up to the time of progression, when treatment could be initiated. PARTICIPANTS: We evaluated 118 control patie
Recent studies in animal models of Parkinson's disease (PD) have provided evidence that dopamine released from spared serotonin afferents can act as a trigger of dyskinetic movements induced by repetitive, low doses of levodopa. Serotonin neurons have the capacity to store and release dopamine synthesized from systemically administered levodopa. However, because of the lack of any autoregulatory f
The resonance spectroscopic techniques - level-crossing, optical double resonance and quantum-beat spectroscopy - have been employed following pulsed laser excitation. The use of pulsed lasers has enabled spectroscopic studies of atomic structures and radiative lifetimes in the UV/VUV spectral region.
