A small number of circulating proteins have been reported to be associated with breast cancer risk, with inconsistent results. Herein, we attempted to identify novel protein biomarkers for breast cancer via the integration of genomics and proteomics data. In the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC), with 122,977 cases and 105,974 controls of European descendants, we evaluated the associatio

The structure and function of microbial communities vary along environmental gradients; however, interlinking the two has been challenging. In this study, salinity was used as an environmental filter to study how it could shape trait distributions, community structures, and the resulting functions of soil microbes. The environmental filter was applied by salinizing nonsaline soil (0 to 22 mg NaCl

We investigate how the uncertainties in σνN due the different QCD dynamic models would modify the neutrino absorption while they travel across the Earth. We compare the predictions of models based on the solution of the linear DGLAP equations at small-x and large-Q2 with those which impose the Froissart bound at large energies, taking into account the unitarity effects in the neutrino - nucleon cr

The coaxial mixers consisting of an inner Rushton turbine or propeller and an outer anchor were combined first with the just off-bottom suspension in viscous and high solid loading systems. In this study, a new method based on RGB brightness analysis was proposed to determine the cloud height, and the measures to promote cloud height were also discussed. In addition, the effects of rotation modes,

Boken handlar om dramat och teatern, två uråldriga fenomen som håller våra minnen av det förflutna levande, exempelvis genom att utgå från historiska händelser och gestalter eller helt enkelt genom att ständigt påminna oss om det förflutnas betydelse för nuet. I boken beskrivs teaterns utveckling med fokus på olika sätt att frambesvärja och gestalta det förflutna, och vid en närmare granskning vis

Boken syftar till att ge en grundlig introduktion till teatern som kommunikationsform, fördjupa och vidga förståelsen för dramat och iscensättningen, ringa in teaterns egenart och tillhandahålla analytiska verktyg som behövs för att öppna dramat och teatern för vår förståelse och vår fantasi.

The structure of the Λ(1405) hyperon is an important and long-standing issue related to the K̄-nucleus interaction. The J-PARC E31 experiment has been performed to investigate the Λ(1405) spectrum shape. Because it is hard to form the Λ(1405) directly by a K̄N scattering in free space, E31 uses the d(K-, n) reaction with an incident kaon momentum of 1 GeV/c. We will identify three final states - ς

The aim of this paper is to explore the relationship between spatial-temporal patterns of vehicles types and numbers in different urban functional zones and traffic-related air pollutant emissions with real-time traffic data collected from traffic surveillance video and image recognition. The data were analyzed by using video-based detection technique, while the air pollution was quantified via po

Shrunken pore syndrome (SPS) is a condition in which the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) based on serum/plasma cystatin C concentration is significantly lower than the eGFR based on creatinine. According to the literatures, the diagnosis of SPS could be defined when the eGFRcystatin C is <70% of eGFRcreatinine. Although the incidence of SPS varies in different patient populations and h

A novel method is introduced in this study to consider flexibility taking into account both system design and operation strategy by using fuzzy logic. A stochastic optimization algorithm is introduced to optimize the system design and operation strategy of the energy system while considering the flexibility. GPU (Graphics Processing Unit)-accelerated computing is introduced to speed up the computa

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between cognitive reserve (CR) and clinical progression across the Alzheimer disease (AD) spectrum. METHODS: We selected 839 β-amyloid (Aβ)-positive participants with normal cognition (NC, n = 175), mild cognitive impairment (MCI, n = 437), or AD dementia (n = 227) from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI). CR was quantified using standa

In the current work, in order to model a free electron solvated in water, we have implemented a method to represent the molecular charge distribution as a set of Slater-type functions within the framework of a QM/MM method called QMSTAT. Also, it has been introduced in this method a new approach to calculate the intermolecular induction energy in the presence of very strong electric fields. Unlike

Background: Occupational balance is an important concept in occupational science but it has mostly been studied from an individual rather than an interpersonal perspective, i.e. the extent to which one individual’s occupational balance affects and is affected by others. The aim of this review was to describe the extent to which occupational balance has been recently considered from an interpersona

Introduction: Multimodal neurological prognostication is recommended for comatose patients after cardiac arrest. The absence of cortical N20-potentials in a somatosensory evoked potential (SSEP) examination reliably predicts poor outcome, but presence of N20-potentials have limited prognostic value. A benign routine electroencephalogram (EEG) may identify patients with a favourable prognosis who a

During the decade 1957 through 1966, sixty-three cholecystostomies in sixty-two patients were performed in the Surgical Department, University of Lund. Fifty-five of these sixty-two patients were followed up. The mean age was seventy-one years for both sexes. The primary mortality was 20 per cent: a third died of circulatory and respiratory insufficiency; three quarters died of peritonitis, absces
