Den preposition som används för att uttrycka ursprung eller upphov i en konstruktion med verbet ‘få’ i skriftlig norska är prepositionen av. i norska dialekter blir dock även flera andra prepositioner använda för att uttrycka denna relation. Förutom tå, som kan räknas som en variant av av, finner man hos, hjå och med. Den nyligen färdigställda forskningsinfrastrukturen, Nordisk dialektkorpus och N
We present the first method to handle curvature regularity in region-based image segmentation and inpainting that is independent of initialization. To this end we start from a new formulation of length-based optimization schemes, based on surface continuation constraints, and discuss the connections to existing schemes. The formulation is based on a cell complex and considers basic regions and bou
Correlated micro-photoluminescence (μPL) and cathodoluminescence (CL) measurements are reported for single core-shell InP-InAs wurtzite nanowires grown using metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy. Samples covering a radial InAs shell thickness of 1-12 ML were investigated. The effective masses for the wurtzite material were determined from the transition energy dependence of the InAs shell thickness,
We investigated if coarse-resolution satellite data from the MODIS sensor can be used for regional monitoring of insect disturbances in Fennoscandia. A damage detection method based on z-scores of seasonal maximums of the 2-band Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI2) was developed. Time-series smoothing was applied and Receiver Operating Characteristics graphs were used for optimisation. The method was
Introduction: We have previously shown that a tag single nucleotide polymorphism (rs10235235), which maps to the CYP3A locus (7q22.1), was associated with a reduction in premenopausal urinary estrone glucuronide levels and a modest reduction in risk of breast cancer in women age <= 50 years. Methods: We further investigated the association of rs10235235 with breast cancer risk in a large case cont
Studies investigating dynamic susceptibility contrast magnetic resonance imaging-determined relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) maps as a metric of treatment response assessment have generated conflicting results. We evaluated the potential of various analytical techniques to predict survival of patients with glioma treated with chemoradiation. rCBV maps were acquired in patients with high-grade
Abstract in Undetermined The Internet is a growing information and communication channel for health- and diet-related issues. Keeping updated on the fruit- and vegetable-related (F&V) discourses among laypeople is important for health communicators in order to promote F&V consumption through tailored health messages. The aim of the present study was to identify F&V-related discourses i
A large eddy simuation (LES) model is presented for simulation of spark-assisted homogeneous charge compression ignition combustion. The model is based on tabulated chemical kinetic rate for ignition and flame surface density for flame propagation, taking into account interaction between flame propagation introduced by the spark and auto-ignition due to charge compression. The model is used to sim
Mercury is a hazardous environmental pollutant mobilized from natural sources, and anthropogenically contaminated and disturbed areas. Current methods to assess mobility and environmental impact are mainly based on field measurements, soil monitoring, and kinetic modelling. In order to understand in detail the extent to which different mineral sources can give rise to mercury release it is necessa
Background Long-term safety and efficacy data of drug-eluting stents (DESs) in saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) are lacking. This study sought to compare the clinical outcomes of DES versus bare metal stents (BMS) in SVGs. Methods We studied all stent implantations in SVGs in Sweden during 74 months between 2005 and 2011 registered in the Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry. We evalu
New tools are being developed to estimate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). There is a trend to move from empirical factors to simple comprehensive and more complex process-based models. Thus, the main objective of this study is to demonstrate the importance of using process-based dynamic models to better evaluate GHG emissions. This is tackled by defining a
A three-dimensional direct numerical simulation (DNS) is performed to study the ignition and the combustion process of a primary reference fuel (PRF) under conditions relevant to partially premixed combustion (PPC) engines. Detailed transport properties together with a skeletal PRF chemical kinetic mechanism are employed in the simulations. The initial partially premixed charge is prescribed accor
We present new major and trace element, high-precision high-field-strength-element, hafnium and neodymium isotope data for well preserved Eoarchean TTGs within the Itsaq Gneiss Complex (IGC) of southern West Greenland. These data are combined with thermodynamic model predictions of partial melting and fractional crystallization to gain new insights into continental crust formation in the Archean.
The possibility of using 1,3-regioselective lipases for the synthesis of 2-monoolein and 1,2-diolein by ethanolysis of triolein was evaluated. The reactions were carried out in aqueous/organic two-phase systems, achieving high reaction rates due to the interfacial activation of the lipases. Different lipases and reaction conditions were screened. Commercially available lipases were used without pu
The Narodichesky region, Zhitomir Oblast, Ukraine, is situated ∼80 km from the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, which exploded in 1986 and polluted the environment. A previous study found that children living in villages with high activity of (137)Cesium (Cs) in the soil had decreased levels of hemoglobin, erythrocytes and thrombocytes. These findings motivated the present study that used a more com
Semiconductor nanowires are key building blocks for the next generation of light-emitting diodes, solar cells and batteries. To fabricate functional nanowire-based devices on an industrial scale requires an efficient methodology that enables the mass production of nanowires with perfect crystallinity, reproducible and controlled dimensions and material composition, and low cost. So far there have
Body fat distribution is a heritable trait and a well-established predictor of adverse metabolic outcomes, independent of overall adiposity. To increase our understanding of the genetic basis of body fat distribution and its molecular links to cardiometabolic traits, here we conduct genome-wide association meta-analyses of traits related to waist and hip circumferences in up to 224,459 individuals
Previous studies have suggested that dietary factors may be important in the development of bladder cancer. We examined macronutrient intake in relation to risk of urothelial cell carcinoma among 469,339 men and women in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition. Associations were examined using Cox regression, stratified by sex, age at recruitment and centre and further adj
