Popular Abstract in Swedish Membranteknik är en separationsteknik där stora partiklar skiljs av från mindre partiklar m.h.a. ett membranfilter. I min forskning har jag tittat på hur membranfiltrering kan användas inom bioteknikindustrin. Jag har tittat på hur mjölksyra kan renas upp från en lösning av jäst "vetemjölsvälling" samt hur första steget i uppreningen av protein A från en industriellt prMembrane filtration is a very gentle separation technique and can be used at low temperatures. This makes it suitable for liquids that contain micro-organisms and/or are heat sensitive, which is often the case in liquids processed in the field of biotechnology. However, one drawback is that these liquids are often very complex, which is a disadvantage when using membrane technology as it makes the

cDNAs encoding two PDE-3 or cyclic GMP-inhibited (cGI) cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) isoforms, RPDE-3B (RcGIP1) and HPDE-3A (HcGIP2), were cloned from rat (R) adipose tissue and human (H) heart cDNA libraries. Deletion and N- and C-terminal truncation mutants were expressed in Escherichia coli in order to define their catalytic core. Active mutants of both RPDE-3B and HPDE-3A included

A prospective study was conducted to evaluate patient outcomes following trapezial excision and extensor carpi radialis longus tendon arthroplasty in primary trapeziometacarpal arthrosis. Seventeen patients were evaluated both preoperatively and postoperatively at both 12 months and at final follow-up examination at a mean of 39 months (range, 20-56 months). Surgery resulted in complete or signifi

A summary of recent progress in Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT) at the two-loop level is given. A short introduction to ChPT is included, along with an explanation of the usefulness of developing ChPT for partially quenched QCD. Further, our recent work in partially quenched ChPT is reviewed, and a few comments are given on older work in mesonic ChPT at the two-loop level. In particular, we quot

Autoignition of a homogeneous mixture is very sensitiveto operating conditions. Therefore fast combustion phasingcontrol is necessary for reliable operation. There areseveral means to control the combustion phasing of a Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engine.This paper presents cycle-to-cycle cylinder individual controlresults from a six-cylinder HCCI engine using a VariableValve Ac

The current control design development process in automotive industry and elsewhere involves many expensive experiments and hand-tuning of control parameters. Model based control design is a promising approach to reduce costs and development time. In this process low complexity models are essential. This thesis combines the areas of modeling and model reduction in automotive systems. A model of th

The relationships between abdominal and pelvic fat compartments and glucose and lipid metabolism were investigated in early postmenopausal women. Fifty-five healthy, postmenopausal women aged 52-53 yr participated in the study. Fat distribution (intra-abdominal and sc abdominal fat, and intrapelvic and sc pelvic fat) was estimated by computed tomography. Insulin sensitivity was assessed by euglyce

A systematic review of radiation therapy trials in several turnout types was performed by The Swedish Council of Technology Assessment in Health Care (SBU). The procedures for evaluation of the scientific literature are described separately (Acta Oncol 2003; 42: 357-365). This synthesis of the literature on radiation therapy for breast cancer is based on data from 29 randomized trials, 6 meta-anal

The high cost of photovoltaic modules motivates the use of reflectors to increase the electricity production. The system geometry of static low-concentrating PV systems for building-integration with parabolic aluminium reflectors was optimised for maximum annual electricity production. The optical efficiency of systems with different geometries was calculated from short-circuit current measurement

BACKGROUND: The atherothrombotic risk pattern of the nephrotic syndrome resembles that of hyperhomocysteinemia. However, the effect of nephrotic range proteinuria on homocysteine metabolism has never been studied. METHODS: The study included 11 male nephrotic patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy who underwent a treatment trial with adrenocorticotrophic hormone and 11 male non-nephrotic,
