Objective: To evaluate long-term oncological outcome and surgical quality of robotic radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer. Methods: Consecutive women with stage IA2 to IIA operated between March 2006 and May 2012 with a robotic radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy were prospectively followed up until five years after surgery or until death. Details regarding clinical results, recurr

Highly excited P and D states in 87 Rb were examined using a two-step excitation procedure. A conventional rf lamp and a CW dye laser were used for the first and second step, respectively. The following results for the magnetic dipole interaction constant a , the electric quadrupole interaction constant b , the Landé g J factor, and the tensor polarizability α 2 were obtained in level-crossing an

In this paper we study the propagation problem of a time harmonic electromagnetic field inside a cavity filled with a generic bianisotropic medium. We define the concepts of eigenfrequencies and modes of the cavity and we propose a method to prove their existence and countability. We extend, in this respect, the theory for the isotropic, homogeneous, lossless cavity.

We investigated properties of electrical contacts to filamentary nanocrystals based on InAs, synthesized by chemical-beam epitaxy. Robust, low resistive Ohmic contacts were manufactured to InAs segment of filamentary nanocrystals both directly and indirectly, through a catalytic particle at the top of nanocrystals. Current-voltage characteristics and degradation characteristics of devices based on

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avfall har alltid uppkommit i alla samhällen i alla tider. Det vanligaste sättet att hand om det har varit att samla avfallet i soptippar (deponier) på mark som ansetts obrukbar, t.ex. i sankmarker utanför bebyggelsen. I takt med ökad konsumtion och produktion har också mängderna avfall ökat. Anledningen till att avfall och avfallshantering kommit alltmer i fokus i miljA methodology based on an analytical protocol for evaluation of hazards from landfill leachate and solid waste is described. A dynamic analytical protocol, the LAQUA protocol, including measurements of inorganic and water-quality parameters, polar and non-polar organic marker compounds, and toxicity, was constructed. An acute toxicity test, using the brackish water crustacean Artemia salina as tes

The new combination, Josefpoeltia parva (Ras.) Froden. & L. Lindblom with the basionym Xanthoria parva Ras., is made. The type species of Josefpoelfa, J. boliviensis, is reduced to synonymy with J. parva. The length of the conidia varies in J. parva showing a north-south gradient.
