This paper presents an analysis of the impact of childbearing history on later-life mortality for ever-married men and women using historical micro-level data of high quality for southern Sweden. The analysis uses a Cox proportional hazards model, estimating the effects on old-age mortality of number of births and timing of first and last births. By studying the effects of previous childbearing on

An image solution for the forced response of a clamped finite beam is developed. The finite beam is replaced by an infinite beam under spatially periodic excitation and periodic support reactions. The response is then found by a Fourier transform approach, making use of the periodicity. An explicit expression is found, using the Poisson sum formula. The aim is to describe the potential of using th

The kinetics and mechanism of the reaction between [PtI3(AsPh3)](-) and pyridine in acetonitrile solvent has been studied by use of stopped-flow spectrophotometry. Substitution of iodide trans to arsine is irreversible under the conditions used and takes place via parallel direct and solvolytic pathways. By comparing the rate constants of the direct pathway with literature values of the correspond

We present an investigation of current cross correlators in mesoscopic conductors. Making an analogy to the optical Hanbury Brown Twiss experiment we discuss how quantum statistical effects and two-particle interference effects can be investigated with current cross correlations. We also discuss how current cross correlations can be used for detecting two-particle entanglement and to perform quant

The conditions for binding of antibodies to glycosphingolipids separated on a thin-layer plate have been optimized for polyclonal antisera. The method has a broad detection range with low background staining. Examples are shown for the detection of blood group A and B active glycosphingolipids.

Previous studies have shown that the functional efficacy of intrastriatal transplants of fetal dopamine (DA) neurons in the rat Parkinson model depends on their ability to establish a new functional innervation of the denervated striatum. Here we report that the survival, growth, and function of the grafted DA neurons greatly depend on the severity of the lesion of the host nigrostriatal system. F

Deviations from classical two-state kinetics in protein folding need not always be explained by the presence of rapidly formed intermediates. In some cases, such deviations are caused by short-lived aggregates whereas in other cases they arise from changes of the position of the transition state. These are two new facets of the mechanism of two-state folding. The first part of this account describ

An instrument with integrated flow injection analysis (FIA) system has been developed for on-line monitoring a process for conversion of biomass under field condition. The instrument consists of a newly designed biosensor for easy renewal of the bio-receptor without disassembling the sensor, a FIA controller for controlling the analysis operations, and a computer-based data acquisition system for

Purified polyclonal immunoglobulin preparations representing the 4 rat IgG subclasses were tested for binding to Staphylococcus aureus protein A attached to 3 different solid phases (Staphylococcus aureus Cowan I bacteria, Sepharose CL4B and Sepharose 6MB). Protein A Sepharose CL4B showed higher reactivity with IgG1 and IgG2b than the staphylococci, whereas protein A Sepharose 6MB showed a lower u

The aim of the present work was to compare natural and chemical gypsums with respect to dehydration rate and to investigate the influence of air temperature, particle size and air humidity. No difference in calcination rate could be observed between natural and FGD-gypsum. However the small samples did not permit tests of setting times or simulation of the mixer behaviour. The calcination rate was
