Probing control of glucose feeding in Vibrio cholerae cultivations

Infection with Vibrio cholerae is a significant problem in manydeveloping countries. Cultivation of Vibrio cholerae is used inproduction of CTB, which is a component in a cholera vaccine. Fed - batch cultivations with V. cholerae in defined mediahave been conducted and reproducible results were obtained. A probing feeding strategy developed by Åkessonfor E. coli cultivations has been tested.The pr

Depletion of mucosal substance P in acute otitis media

Objective-The neuropeptide substance P (SP) is an inducer of neurogenic inflammation and bone resorption in the middle ear. Resorption of the bone tissue structures surrounding the middle ear cavity is a distinct feature of the initial stage of acute otitis media (AOM), which may be due to nerve fiber release of SP. Material and Methods-To investigate possible release of SP in the middle ear mucos

Breathing patterns and aerosol delivery: impact of regular human patterns, and sine and square waveforms on rate of delivery

In vitro tests are commonly employed to assess nebulizer performance. Whether the square or sine waveforms employed during in vitro tests could alter the nebulizer performance compared to that observed when a patient breathes through the nebulizer is debatable. Accordingly, the aim of this in vitro study was to compare the rates of delivery from nebulizers with simulated human breathing patterns t

Storgodsdrift. Godsekonomi och arbetsorganisation i Skåne från dansk tid till mitten av 1800-talet.

Popular Abstract in Swedish De skånska godsen har genom århundradena inte bara utgjort ett spektakulärt inslag i landskapsbilden, de har också varit centrum för politisk maktutövning och jurisdiktion. I denna bok kartläggs och analyseras de skånska godsens ekonomiska och arbetsorganisatoriska utveckling från dansk tid till 1800-talets andra hälft. Utvecklingen vid nio gods uppmärksammas i fallstudThe aim of this study is to systematically survey and analyse the Scanian manors’ economic and labour organisational development from the province’s Danish times to the middle of the nineteenth century. In this thesis the various surveys provides some clear results that make it possible to generalise the Scanian estate development. Manors were generally large at the end of the the seventeenth cent

Method for determination of the softening behaviour of wood and the applicability of a nonlinear fracture mechanics model

The thesis deals with determination of the post peak behaviour of wood in pure tension and pure shear. Furhermore, the "Fictitious Crack Model" (FCM), which is a nonlinear fracture mechanics model ; originally developed for description of crack propagation in concrete, is employed to demonstrate the advantages of non linear fracture mechanics. A testing arrangement is presented with which the comp

Overproduction of pentose phosphate pathway enzymes using a new CRE-loxP expression vector for repeated genomic integration in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Two new vectors are described, the expression vector pB3 PGK and the CRE recombinase vector pCRE3. The pB3 PGK has a zeocin-selectable marker flanked by loxP sequences and an expression cassette consisting of the strong PGK1 promoter and the GCY1 terminator. The S. cerevisiae genes RKI1, RPE1, TAL1 and TKL1 were cloned in pB3 PGK and integrated in the locus of the respective gene, resulting in ove

Characterization of free volume and density gradients of polystyrene surfaces by low-energy positron lifetime measurements

Free volume and density gradient widths of the free surface of high molecular mass polystyrene was characterized by use of a pulsed low-energy positron lifetime beam. A density gradient in terms of mass density (g/cm(3)) versus depth (nm) was obtained from the experimental beam data using a novel approach, yielding a width of the density gradient of approximately 3.5 nm. The procedure accounted fo

Characterization of intersubband devices combining a nonequilibrium many body theory with transmission spectroscopy experiments

In this paper we apply a microscopic nonequilibrium many body Keldysh Green's functions approach to an analysis of complex intersubband optical materials and devices. The calculated absorption/gain spectra are in very good agreement with transmission spectroscopy measurements of quantum cascade laser structures operating in the mid-infrared (midIR). The very good agreement reached between theoreti

Comparison of Superdeformed Bands in 61Zn and 60Zn: Possible Evidence for T=0 Pairing

The yrast superdeformed band in Zn-61 has been established using Si-28(Ar-36, 2pn)Zn-61 and Ca-40(Si-29, 2 alpha)Zn-61 fusion-evaporation reactions. The excitation energy of this band was determined via two transitions that link this band to the normally deformed states. Lifetime analysis of this band resulted in a quadrupole moment of Q(t) = 3.0 +/- (0.5)(0.4)e b, which corresponds to a deformati

Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide in the PMSG-primed immature rat ovary and its effect on ovulation in the isolated rat ovary perfused in vitro

The immature rat ovary contains VIP immunoreactive nerve fibres sparsely distributed around blood vessels, in the interstitial gland and around follicles. The VIP concentration, measured radioimmunologically, decreased significantly after PMSG treatment (10 i.u.), probably due to ovarian enlargement and oedema, while the total VIP content (total of 0.12 pmol in both ovaries) did not change after P

Experience from 10 years of full-scale operation with enhanced biological phosphorus removal at Oresundsverket

Ten years of full-scale experience with enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) has been evaluated. During the start-up period lack of carbon source was the main operational problem and a higher level of volatile fatty acids was secured by introducing a primary sludge hydrolysis. Acidic thermal sludge hydrolysis was used as the sludge treatment method at the plant during about three years. O

Fog deposition on a coniferous forest in The Netherlands

Fog deposition in December 1992 and February 1993 (two periods of several days in which fog occurred) was monitored at the location Speulderbos in The Netherlands. Fog droplet deposition was measured with eddy correlation and samples of fog water were taken with a string collector. At the same time, throughfall deposition was measured and throughfall water was sampled. The occult (fog/cloud) depos
