We measured angular distributions of differential cross section, beam analyzing power, and recoil polarization for neutral pion electroproduction at Q(2)=1.0 (GeV/c)(2) in 10 bins of 1.17

What did make Europe's development different from that of other parts of the world?

RFSL Rådgivningen Skåne har på uppdrag av Länsstyrelsen i Skåne län kartlagt och uppmärksammat situationen för ungdomar i Skåne (13–25 år) som riskerar hedersrelaterat hot och våld på grund av sexuell läggning. Rapporten bygger dels på enkätsvar från polismyndigheten, grundskolor och gymnasieskolor, socialförvaltningar och ungdomsmottagningar, dels på berättelser från ungdomar. Genom kartläggninge

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are defined by their unique properties to self-renew and differentiate into all hematopoietic cell lineages. Residing in the bone marrow (BM), adult HSCs are organized in a hierarchy of cells that differ in their self-renewal and proliferative capacity. Exact relationships of the various cells in the hematopoietic hierarchy, their potential to commit to certain line

Neutron deficient nuclei close to Sn-100 have been investigated in-beam using the NORDBALL detector array. A target of Fe-54 was bombarded with a beam of Ni-58 at 270 MeV. Evaporation residues were identified by detecting protons and alpha particles in a 4 pi charged particle multi-detector set-up and neutrons in a 1 pi neutron detector wall in coincidence with gamma rays. Excited states of the pr

Ring segments (I mm in diameter) of the pulmonary artery obtained from 16 patients undergoing thoracic surgery were mounted in tissue baths. Cumulative concentration-response curves of some prostanoids and amines were obtained, and Emax and pEC50 values calculated. Noradrenaline, phenylephrine, clonidine and serotonin (5-HT) showed low intrinsic activities. Prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) indu

The 2p(5)3s3p, 3p2, 3s4s, 3s3d, and 3s4f core-excited configurations of Mg II have been studied experimentally by beam-foil spectroscopy and theoretically by multiconfiguration Hartree-Fock calculations with Breit-Pauli relativistic corrections. The previously established energy levels belonging to the former four configurations have been reexamined leading to significant corrections of the 3p2 4D

I rapporten redovisas dagens kunskapsnivå avseende termiskt klimat, luftkvalitet, ljud samt elektromagnetiska fält. Dessutom redovisas de överkänslighetsrelaterade besvär, sjukdomsrelaterade besvär och symptom eller allmänna obehag av diskomfort som anses orsakas av inomhusmiljön. Rapporten är skriven så att de som arbetar med inomhusmiljörelaterade frågor, med varierande bakgrund, erbjuds en tvär

Tuberculosis remains a major global cause of morbidity and mortality. There is an urgent need for improved bacteriologic diagnosis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. Three methods for rapid identification of M. tuberculosis in sputum samples (direct microscopy, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry [GC-MS], and polymerase chain reaction [PCR]), were compared with culture on Lowenstein-Jensen

The aim of this paper is to propose a framework for the evaluation of policy instruments designed to affect development and dissemination of new energy technologies. The evaluation approach is based on the analysis of selected outcome indicators describing the process of technical change, i.e. the development and dissemination of new energy technologies, on the basis of a socio-technical systems a

Galectin-4 belongs to a subfamily of galectins composed of two carbohydrate recognition domains within the same peptide chain. The two domains have all the conserved galectin signature amino acids, but their overall sequences are only approximately 40% identical. Both domains bind lactose with a similar affinity as other galectins, but their respective preferences for other disaccharides, and larg

Three strains capable of mineralizing nonylphenol as sole carbon source were isolated from a sample of contaminated soil and characterized as two Pseudomonas spp. and a Stenotrophomonas sp. The two Pseudomonas spp. expressed characteristics typical of psychrophiles growing optimally of 10 °C and capable of growing at 0 °C. The Stenotrophomonas sp. was more likely psychrotrophic because it had an o

A box-tree is a bounding-volume hierarchy that uses axis-aligned boxes as bounding volumes. The query complexity of a box-tree with respect to a given type of query is the maximum number of nodes visited when answering such a query. We describe several new algorithms for constructing box-trees with small worst-case query complexity with respect to queries with axis-parallel boxes and with points.

The inflammation of the lungs in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterised by increased numbers of macrophages, neutrophils and T-cells. Decline in lung function in these patients has been correlated to the number of CD8+ T-cells present in the lung as well as to a decline in the ratio of CD4+/CD8+ T-cells. Although systemic components are likely to be present, circulating lymp

How people react to a fire alarm has been studied in retrospect as well as in experiments. In the present study, the choice of exit was examined with respect to the distance to exits and open or closed emergency exit. The second part deals with some communication aspects regarding identification of signs. It is shown that the subjects prefer a familiar ordinary cash exit even if the distance to th
