G protein-coupled receptor 30 (GPR30) or G protein-coupled estrogen receptor 1 (GPER1) is expressed in the vasculature, but the importance of vascular GPER1 remains to be clarified. Here we investigate effects of the GPER1 agonist G-1 on endothelial cell proliferation using mouse microvascular endothelial bEnd.3 cells. The bEnd.3 cells express mRNA for GPER1. The bEnd.3 cells expressed both ERα an

Romanesque round church towers - a Skandinavian perspective: The aim of the article is to discuss the interpretation of the Romanesque round church towers seen from a Scandinavian perspective. After a research history and a geographical outlook, which passes Ireland, England and Holstein, the article focusses on the 15-19 churches with round towers in medieaval Denmark, Sweden and Norway, with th

Alfred Hitchcocks´s carrer in the United States.

A statistical study of data containing observations of process and quality variables from the SCA paper mill in Munksund, Sweden, is presented. The emphasis in this analysis has been on modelling the laboratory collected paper quality variables by means of the data available on-line, during production. The primary tool for prediction, or estimation at non observed time instants, of variables was

We investigated the scale and characteristics of spring migration of soaring birds in Bourgas district, SE Bulgaria during three 5-day periods in March (27 th -31 st ), April (20 th -24 th ) and May (12 th -16 th ) 2008. Simultaneous counts were carried out from six observation points in two separate areas (Karnobat and Sredets), located 24.5 km and 37.3 km inland from the Black Sea coast, respect

BACKGROUND: Although marital status and low occupation level has been associated with mortality, the relationship with case fatality rates (CFR) after a coronary event (CE) is unclear. This study explored whether incidence of CE and short-term CFR differ between groups defined in terms of marital status and occupation, and if this could be explained by biological and life-style risk factors. METHO

In this paper, we present a computationally efficient sliding window time updating of the Capon and amplitude and phase,estimation (APES) matched filterbank spectral estimators based on the time-variant displacement structure of the data covariance matrix. The presented algorithm forms a natural extension of the most computationally efficient algorithm to date, and offers a significant computation

Methyl 2-O-acetyl-3-benzotriazolo-4,6-O-benzylidene-3-deoxy- β -D-galactopyranoside was assembled by reacting benzyne, from 2-trimethylsilyl-trifluoromethansulfonylbenzene, and a secondary galactopyranoside azide in a copper-free Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. Following deprotection, the resulting benzotriazoles were evaluated as galectin inhibitors resulting in a 2-4 fold increase in affinity

BACKGROUND: There are limited reports in literature studying the impact of rod diameter and stiffness on the degree of deformity correction in patients with AIS. AIMS: The aims of this study were to evaluate the 3-dimentional deformity correction achieved by segmental pedicle screw fixation in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, and to find out if learning or the change to stiffer rods

This study was aimed at investigating the outcomes of an activity-based assessment (BIA) compared with standard assessment (SA) for evaluating clients undergoing psychiatric occupational therapy. Patients admitted to a psychiatric occupational therapy unit were randomized into the BIA or the SA assessment. The outcome indicators were (a) clients' satisfaction with the occupational therapy during t

The article is a study of Swedish post-war amateur and experimental film culture. In particular, the 50s and the gradual divide between amateurs and experimentalists are examined. Peter Weiss' filmic output is used as an example of how the various cultures collaborated and later on split apart. The aim with the essay is also to intervene in the ongoing debate concerning film historiography by argu
