BACKGROUND: Proteolytic degradation by plasmin and metalloproteinases is essential for epidermal regeneration in skin wound healing. Plasminogen deficient mice have severely delayed wound closure as have mice simultaneously lacking the two plasminogen activators, urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA). In contrast, individual genetic deficiencies in

Different optical methods for tumour detection have been studied. Interference between photon density waves has been examined with the aim of investigating the potential of this technique for optical transillumination diagnostics. Simulations and experiments have been performed in the time domain on realistic tissue phantoms containing bodies with differing optical properties. The recorded data we

This article shows a range of ways how to bring the past to life with the aid of full-scale reconstructions. During the past century a broad variety of strategies to bring the past to life in a physical sense have been used in connection with cultural heritage sites. This text shows examples of these strategies and reflects upon the public impact of different ways of reconstructing buildings and o

Nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) offers an unequivocal method of detecting and identifying land mines. Unfortunately, the practical use of NQR is restricted by the low signal to noise ratio (SNR), and means to improve the SNR are vital to enable a rapid, reliable and convenient system. In this paper, we develop a non-linear least squares detector exploiting the temperature dependency of the NQR

Source characteristics from experiments with hetero-organic fuels are presented. The results are intended as input to fire hazard analysis. The results imply that it is possible to use experiments in reduced scale to get an indication of the combustion products that can be produced in a fire with hetero-organic fuels as well as the levels of yields that can expected in a fire involving chemicals.

Bergman m.fl. menar i Konkurrensnytt 2003:2 att kommissionens reformaktiviteter på koncentrationsområdet kan tolkas som en svängning mot ett SLC-test (”substantial lessening of competition”). Påståendet görs trots att kommissionen uttryckligen avvisar en sådan avsikt och det känns angeläget att varna för att det logiska resonemanget är ett önsketänkande och den osäkerheten är störande. Det viktiga
