Sweden is not famous for its dune fields, and rightfully so; compared to most other countries of the world the Swedish dune fields are humble in size. Also, many of them are inactive and covered by vegetation. Due to this the dune fields of Sweden have been left largely unexplored the last decades. This is unfortunate since many of the dune fields in Sweden are valuable palaeo-environmental time c

AIM:To investigate perceptions of graft rejection and different methods to obtain knowledge about graft rejection among adult organ transplant recipients.BACKGROUND:Rejection is the most common cause of graft loss and graft dysfunction in clinical transplantation. Little is known about the recipients' own explanation models related to graft rejection.DESIGN:Phenomenography.METHOD:A strategic selec

Various applications of the mean field theory (MFT) technique for obtaining solutions close to optimal minima in feedback networks are reviewed. Using this method in the context of the Boltzmann machine gives rise to a fast deterministic learning algorithm with a performance comparable with that of the backpropagation algorithm (BP) in feature recognition applications. Since MFT learning is bidire

Natthimlen är både vacker och full av gåtor. Följ med på en upptäcktsresa i både tid och rum där astronomer tittar uppåt och försöker förstå vad de ser.I dag finns det både mark- och rymdbaserade teleskop som samlar in universum ljus, inte bara synligt ljus utan även infrarött ljus, radiovågor och röntgenvågor. Med hjälp av dessa tittar vi på solsystemets planeter, supernovor och svarta hål, stjärThe night sky, both beautiful and mysterious, has been the subject of campfire stories, ancient myths and awe for as long as there have been people. A desire to comprehend the Universe may well be humanity’s oldest shared intellectual experience. Yet only recently have we truly begun to grasp our place in the vast cosmos. To learn about this journey of celestial discovery, from the theories of the

The calcium antagonistic properties of (+)‐T‐cadinol, some of its stereoisomers and related terpenes were investigated in both functional and radioligand binding studies, and the effects were compared with those of the dihydropyridine calcium antagonist (±)‐nimodipine. In the isolated rat aorta, the terpenes relaxed contractions induced by 60 mM K+ more potently than those induced by phenylephrine

The smooth muscle relaxing effect of the sesquiterpene T‐cadinol, isolated from scented myrrh (resin of Commiphora guidottii Chiov., Burseraceae), was investigated. The compound inhibited the contractile responses in the isolated guinea‐pig ileum to histamine, carbachol, Ba2+ and K+ in a concentration dependent and reversible manner. The antagonism of the receptor‐mediated contractions induced by

South-central Sweden is home to a number of small, inactive inland dune fields formed on former glaciofluvialdeltas. A characteristic of these dune fields is the generally transverse shape of the dunes, in stark contrast to therest of Sweden where parabolic dunes are the most common type.One of these dune fields is Bonäsheden in the county of Dalarna. It is the largest continuous dune field in Swe

Kupffer cells and parenchymal cells of rat liver were isolated shortly after a single intravenous injection, or a constant infusion, of either thoracic duct lymph or isolated chylomicrons. The uptake of labeled free and esterified chylomicron cholesterol by the two cell types was compared to that of colloidal chromic [32P] phosphate. On the average, only about 6% of the cholesteryl ester of the ch
