Palaeomagnetism of Eocene Talerua Member lavas on Hareoen, West Greenland

The results of a paleomagnetic sampling carried out along two vertical profiles (altogether 19 lava flows, 126 samples) covering the entire stratigraphy of the Talerua Member lavas (similar to 39 Myr old) that outcrop on the island Hareoen are presented and represent some of the youngest volcanism in the West Greenland flood volcanic province. Rock magnetic experiments and microprobe analysis demo

The influence of plasma insulin concentrations on tissue insulin levels in rodents: a study of the diabetic Chinese hamster and the ob/ob mouse

Immunoreactive insulin was measured in acid-ethanol extracts of kidney, brain, liver, and heart from genetically diabetic Chinese hamsters and their nondiabetic controls and from obese (ob/ob) mice and their thin littermates. Selected samples were filtered on Sephadex G-50 columns and the insulin concentration determined. There was a good correlation between the insulin level measured in the acid-

Changes in blood pressure and body weight following smoking cessation in women.

Objective. Few have studied the long-term effects of smoking and smoking cessation on weight gain and blood pressure increase and compared with the age-related increases experienced by most adults. This study compared the development of weight and blood pressure in female never smokers, continuing smokers and smokers who quit smoking. Design. Weight, systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood press

DNA copy number amplifications in sarcomas with homogeneously staining regions and double minutes

To identify DNA amplifications in sarcomas, comparative genomic hybridization was performed on 27 cases that were likely to display high-level DNA copy number gains. In all cases, chromosome banding analysis had revealed homogeneously staining regions or double minutes, i.e., cytogenetic signs of gene amplification. In most cases, gains predominated over losses. Low-level amplifications (ratio 1.3

Cryogelation for preparation of novel biodegradable tissue-engineering scaffolds

2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate-L-lactate (HEMA-LLA) and HEMA-L-lactate-dextran (HEMA-LLA-D) were synthesized. H-1-NMR confirmed the formation of these oligomers and macromers. Cryogels with different pore structures were prepared using different amounts of HEMA, HEMA-LLA and HEMA-LLA-D by a cryogelation technique. SEM micrographs exhibited pore morphologies. Cryogels were highly porous with interconn

Rådgivare har ansvar mot tredje man

Rådgivare som utför sitt uppdrag vårdslöst kan bli ersättningsskyldiga inte bara mot uppdragsgivaren utan också mot tredje man. NJA 1987 s 692.

Fångad i deckarens fälla

Arbetarförfattare skriver deckare och når en bred publik. Men man kan lika väl säga att de förvandlar sig till underhållningsförfattare. Kanske går de under för en borgerlig kultur på samma sätt som när modernismen blev viktigare än klassen i litteraturen i mitten av förra seklet. Vänstern måste bygga upp sina egna kulturella institutioner om dagens arbetarlitteratur ska vidareutvecklas. Magnus Ni

Some physical and nutritional characteristics of genetically modified potatoes varying in amylose/amylopectin ratios

Transgenically modified potatoes with a large spread in amylose/amylopectin ratios were analysed both as tubers and in the form of isolated starch. Different microscopic techniques were used to study starch granules and tuber tissue. Starch gelatinisation properties and recrystallisation of amylopectin and amylose were studied by differential scanning calorimetry. Starch bioavailability and resist

How reliable are contour curves?

We present a method to add confidence limits to level curves, drawn on a map of a Gaussian random surface, measured with or without error on a regular or irregular grid. The method is based on the conditional level crossing intensity measure for non-stationary Gaussian fields.

Selective electrical stimulation of postganglionic cerebrovascular parasympathetic nerve fibers originating from the sphenopalatine ganglion enhances cortical blood flow in the rat

Recently, the origins and pathways of cerebrovascular acetylcholine- and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide-containing nerves have been elucidated in detail in the rat: The sphenopalatine ganglion is the major source for postganglionic parasympathetic fibers to the vascular beds of the cerebral hemispheres. To clarify the functional role of the nerves on cerebral blood vessels in vivo, brain cortic
