The present research was focused on the phytochemical research of Bolivian plants; a) two medicinal ones Aniba canelilla and Iryanthera juruensis, both plants showed to have compounds with biological activity in different fields. Even though Aniba canelilla was studied before, new compounds were identified in this investigation. The different active compounds found in Iryanthera juruensis seems to

This paper presents the implementation and test results of a 10+5 bit 50 MS/s floating-point ADC, along with the design considerations. The combination of resistive weighting with identical chopped gain stages proved successful in gain, delay and offset matching. It demonstrated that the input referred thermal noise of the gain stages needs to aim for 15 bits, while the rest of the requirements su

This article describes the interactive instrument/sound installation etherSound and discusses its artistic and ethical implications. etherSound is a work in progress and the main intent is to create a vehicle for audience participation through the use of SMS (Short Message Service). The two different contexts in which etherSound has been tried (in concert with performers and as a sound installatio

Abstract in Uncoded languages Tarptautiniai klimato kaitos susitarimai ir Europos Sąjungos teisės aktai veikia skirtingus valdymo lygmenis, įskaitant nacionalines teisės sistemas ir administravimo modelius. Disertacijoje iškeltas tyrimo klausimas – Kaip Lietuva, konkrečiai pramonės sektorius, įgyvendina šiltnamio efektą sukeliančių dujų (toliau – ŠESD) emisijų mažinimo reikalavimus, nustatytus KioInternational climate change agreements and the European Union legislation have an influence on different levels of governance, including national legal systems and administrative schemes. The following research question is addressed in the doctoral dissertation: “How does Lithuania, specifically the industrial sector, implement GHG reduction requirements under the Kyoto Protocol and the European

En genomgång av den terminologiska traditionen för det som i SAG kallas huvudsatsekvivalenter och sedan en närmare granskning av vilka typer av påstående sådana som används i sakprosa - och med vilka funktionella och stilistiska förtecken. Exempel ur bland annat turistbroschyrer ger belägg för både informationsförpackande och mer stämningsskapande användningar, liksom för replikefterliknande.

This paper presents results of technical, functional and stylistic analyses on pottery from two Early Neolithic sites on Öland – Resmo and Runsbäck. Analyses include thin sections and XRF of clays and wares, lipid residue analysis and recording of stylistic attributes. The two sites are situated 15 km apart on the west side of the island. C14 dates place the activities at the sites at c. 3900 3600

This monograph examines the structure and properties of Finnish manner adverbials. The central idea is that, instead of AdvPs, DPs, APs, PPs, NumPs and InfinitivalPs, manner adverbials have the form of either kPs or pPs, and they are licensed as unique specifiers of a manner-related small vP. Secondly, because ”obligatory” and ”optional” manner adverbials are merged as specifiers of one and the sa

Popular Abstract in Swedish Med magnetkamera (magnetresonans, MR) kan utmärkt morfologisk information erhållas men tekniken är även användbar för funktionella studier. En funktionell tillämpning är att mäta perfusion (kapillära blodflöden). Perfusionsrelaterad information kan åskådliggöras på flera sätt med MR, ofta via signalförändringar orsakade av spårämnen eller kontrastmedel i blodet. Den teThe studies presented in this thesis concern the optimisation and evaluation of the dynamic susceptibility contrast magnetic resonance imaging (DSC-MRI) technique for the assessment of perfusion-related parameters of the brain, such as cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral blood volume (CBV) and mean transit time (MTT). Several methodological factors influence these measurements, for example, contra
