One of the major roles of seminal plasma is to provide antimicrobial protection for the spermatozoa in the female reproductive tract. We found that the bactericidal activity of seminal plasma was highest after resolution of the seminal clot and that this antibacterial activity subsequently became greatly diminished. The antibacterial activity was derived from peptides generated by fragmentation of

En artikel om Tyska historiska museets nätutställning om de konstverk som nationalsocialisterna samlade in med syfte att ställa ut dem på ett museum i Linz

Reaction of N-(2-hydroxybenzyl)-N-(2-picolyl) glycine (H(2)papy) with VOSO(4) in water gives the oxidovanadium(V) oxido-bridged dimer [{(papy)(VO)}(2) μ-O)] (1). Similarly, reaction of N-(2-hydroxybenzyl) glycine (H(2)glysal) with VOSO(4) gives [(glysal)VO(H(2)O)] (2) and reaction of salicylamide (Hsalam) with VOSO(4) in methanol gives [(salam)(2)VO] (3). The crystal structure of the oxido-bridged

This study deals with physical education (PE) in secondary school. The purpose of the study is to analyze the relationship between PE in secondary schools and leisure time sports. Questions were directed towards discovering what PE teachers recognise as valuable in their teaching, and how physical education is related to factors that characterize the field of sports. The teaching practice of Physi

The misfit strains of both the isotopic forms of zirconium hydrides, viz., δ-ZrHx and δ-ZrDx, precipitated in zirconium were computed in the temperature range of 298–773 K and for 1.5 ≤ x ≤ 1.7, using the methodology proposed by Carpenter. Misfit strains along (0 0 0 1) plane and normal to it were observed to increase with increase in temperature for both the isotopic forms of hydrides. For a give

When God moves out - deserted churches in the past and the present: A discussion on the fate and future of deserted churches since the Middle Ages in mainly Scandinavia. The article is departuring from the case of Maglarp in Scania, where a church from 1909 was demolished in 2007.

This paper introduces a novel transmission technique for MIMO broadcasting directional channels, herein called the Angle-of-Departure-Aided Opportunistic Space-Division Multiple Access (AOD-OSDMA) technique. In AOD-OSDMA, the knowledge of angles-of-departure (AODs) at the BS of the strongest signal received by each user is used to design multiple opportunistic beams so that advantage is made of th

This thesis is devoted to fundamental aspects, and to spectroscopic applications of radiative properties in free atoms and ions, as well as in ions doped into crystals. Using the time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence technique, measurements of radiative lifetimes for rare earth elements have been performed in neutral Pr, Nd, Tm, and in singly ionized Sm, Er, Nd, Tm, Yb, as well as in doubly io

Abstract Objective. To describe the surgical complication rate of open partial nephrectomy (OPN) in patients with renal tumours, and to report the oncological long-term outcome in unilateral renal cell cancer patients subjected to this procedure, from a medium patient volume urological centre. Material and methods. Data from all patients (n = 89) subjected to OPN for proven or suspected renal cell

Short note on the trends at the University of Lund

1986 antog den Kinesiska Folkrepubliken an avtalslag tillämplig på externa handelsförbindelser. Lagen var ett viktigt steg i kinas normalisering efter en synnerligen turbulent period. För en återkommande besökare framstår dock tendenserna som tydliga. Övergången från ett hårt centralstyrt samhälle till en modernisering av ekonomi och samhällsliv är tydliga. Reformeringstakten är hög. Mot bakgrund
