The ultimate goal of resource monitoring is to analyse the spatial distribution of the balance between supply and demand of a certain resource. Remote sensing techniques are commonly used for the assessment of the supply of resources. By integrating remote sensing with the related techniques of geographical information systems and spatial modelling, the demand as well as the accessibility of resou

Does regular exercise including pelvic floor muscle training prevent urinary and anal incontinence during pregnancy? A randomised controlled trial. BJOG 2012; DOI: 10.1111/j.1471-0528.2012.03426.x. Objective To assess whether pregnant women following a general exercise course, including pelvic floor muscle traini

To accomplish timing recovery/synthesis in high-speed communication systems, a 24-b numerically controlled oscillator (NCO) IC using a circuit design technique called true single-phase clock (TSPC) pipelined CMOS has been fabricated in a standard 1.2-μm CMOS process. The device achieves a maximum tested input clock rate of 700 MHz, which results in an output frequency tuning range from DC up to 35

Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna avhandling har jag velat pröva möjligheten att teckna en bild av en enskild medeltida person och spåra hans egen tanke- och handlingsvärld genom de källor, som han lämnat efter sig. Källorna är både skriftliga och materiella (klosterkyrkan i Sorø, borgen Havn, historieskrivningen Gesta Danorum, runstenen och kyrkan i Norra Åsum och Absalons testamente). Under In this dissertation I have sought to test the possibility of recreating a detailed picture of an individual medieval person, tracing the Danish archbishop Absalon's own world of thought and action through those surviving sources that he has left behind. The sources are both written and material, and they include the cloister church in Sorø, the Havn Castle, the Medieval history Gesta Danorum, the

This paper studies the potential of spatial multiplexing for measured 60 GHz radio channels by estimating the number of eigenchannels. It is well-known that the number of available eigenchannels is dependent on a propagation channel condition as well as antenna array conguration. We evaluate a spatial degrees- of-freedom (SDoF) metric that depends on the propagation conditions and the antenna aper

Background. With modern CT imaging a comprehensive overview of cerebral macro- and microcirculation can be obtained within minutes in acute ischemic stroke. This opens for patient stratification and individualized treatment. Methods. Four patients with acute ischemic stroke of different aetiologies and/or treatments were chosen for illustration of the comprehensive CT protocol and its value in sub

This paper deals with the enantioseparation of hydroxy acids by ligand-exchange capillary electrochromatography. A chiral continuous bed was easily prepared by in situ polymerization of monomers, including an L-4-hydroxyproline derivative. This phase showed chiral recognition for several hydroxy acids, in addition to amino acids.

GOAL: To clarify whether disturbances in the autonomic nervous system, reflected in abnormal cardiovascular reflexes, could explain symptoms of impaired heat regulation in patients with intestinal pseudo-obstruction. BACKGROUND: Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction is a clinical syndrome characterized by diffuse, unspecific gastrointestinal symptoms due to damage to the enteric nervous system or

BACKGROUND Marked changes have occurred in in vitro fertilization (IVF) methodology during the past 25 years but also in characteristics of couples undergoing treatment. METHODS This study was based on 27 386 women undergoing IVF treatment from 1982 to 2006 and giving birth to 31 850 infants. Outcomes of deliveries were studied using Swedish health registers. Comparisons were made with all deliver

Numerous databases containing information about DNA, RNA and protein variations are available. Gene-specific variant databases (locus specific variation databases, LSDBs) are typically curated and maintained for single genes or groups of genes for a certain disease(s). These databases are widely considered as the most reliable information source for a particular gene/protein/disease, but it should

Clin Microbiol Infect ABSTRACT: Aerococcus urinae is a Gram-positive bacterium that can cause invasive infection, including infectious endocarditis (IE), mainly in older men. A. urinae is often misclassified in routine diagnostic laboratories. Through searches in the laboratory databases we identify 16 isolates of A. urinae causing bacteraemia during a 6-year period in southern Sweden, indicating

PURPOSE: Postoperative hypocalcaemia has been reported to be more common after total thyroidectomy (TT) for Graves' disease than after TT for benign atoxic multinodular goitre (MNG). The reasons for this potential association are not clear. In the present study, the frequency and risk factors of hypocalcaemia after TT for Graves' vs MNG were compared. METHODS: Between January 1999 and October 2009
