Methane and carbon dioxide fluxes over a lake : Comparison between eddy covariance, floating chambers and boundary layer method

Freshwaters bring a notable contribution to the global carbon budget by emitting both carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) to the atmosphere. Global estimates of freshwater emissions traditionally use a wind-speed-based gas transfer velocity, kCC (introduced by Cole and Caraco, 1998), for calculating diffusive flux with the boundary layer method (BLM). We compared CH4 and CO2 fluxes from BLM wit

Pain, muscular tenderness, cervical and shoulder mobility in patients with cervical radiculopathy randomly treated with surgery, physiotherapy or a cervical collar

This prospective, randomised study compares the efficacy of surgery and conservative treatments in patients with cervical radiculopathy. The study group comprised 81 patients with long-lasting cervicaloradiculopathy, with a pain distribution corresponding to a significant nerve root compression, verified by magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomographic myelography. The patients were randomly

Impact of capacitive coupling element design on antenna bandwidth

A coupling element is typically used to excite one of more characteristic modes of a structure to form some desired radiation properties. In particular, non-resonant coupling elements (CEs) are attractive, since it is electrically small and can be more conveniently integrated into the structure, such as the chassis of a mobile terminal. In this case, the chassis is the primary radiator of the mobi

Boende och äldre

En beskrivning av de olika boendeformer som finns för äldre personer och som utgår från deras existerande eller befarade framtida funktionsnedsättningar samt av de rättsliga problem som då kan uppkomma.

Electro-viscoelastic response of an acrylic elastomer analysed by digital image correlation

Experimental investigations are presented with respect to the electromechanically coupled and time-dependent behaviour of an acrylic elastomer, VHB 4910. For the electromechanically coupled experiments different biaxial pre-stretches have been considered and full-field measurements were made using three-dimensional surface digital image correlation. Both equi- biaxial and non equi-biaxial pre-stre

Task Modifications in Walking Postpone Decline in Life-Space Mobility Among Community-Dwelling Older People : A 2-year Follow-up Study

Background: Task modification refers to performing a task differently than before. While task modification in walking may be a sign of looming walking difficulty, it may also be adaptive in and postpone the decline in life-space mobility. However, this has not been studied. This study examined whether changes in life-space mobility over a 2-year period differ between people who at baseline report

Jugoslaviens undergång : Krigen, freden, framtiden. 1991-2017

Det var ett yrvaket och oförstående Europa som från och med 1991 såg konflikterna i Jugoslavien blossa upp i den egna europeiska ”bakgården”. Successivt under hela 1990-talet utvecklades upplösningskonflikten till en rad olika krig, och inte nog med att detta; stridigheterna uppfattades dessutom som ovanligt våldsamma, råa och obegripliga. Framför allt västerländska journalister, universitetsakade

Monitoring of growth and production characteristics of red yeasts cultivated on hydrothermally pretreated lignocellulosic pine material

The aim of this work was to compare the production of carotenes and ergosterol by red yeasts grown on pine lignocellulose substrates. The yeast strains Rhodotorula aurantiaca and Sporobolomyces shibatanus were grown on the liquid fraction of steam pretreated pine (210 °C, catalyst SO2). Biomass production on a pine hydrolysate was lower than on glucose. The highest content of carotenoids and ergos

Long-term renal outcome in children with OCRL mutations : Retrospective analysis of a large international cohort

Background. Lowe syndrome (LS) and Dent-2 disease (DD2) are disorders associated with mutations in the OCRL gene and characterized by progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD). Here, we aimed to investigate the long-term renal outcome and identify potential determinants of CKD and its progression in children with these tubulopathies. Methods. Retrospective analyses were conducted of clinical and ge

Benchmark problem definition and cross-validation for characteristic mode solvers

In October 2016, the Special Interest Group on Theory of Characteristic Modes (TCM) initiated a coordinated effort to perform benchmarking work for characteristic mode (CM) analysis. The primary purpose is to help improve the reliability and capability of existing CM solvers and to provide the means for validating future tools. Significant progress has already been made in this joint activity. In

Cerebral palsy in extremely preterm infants

Background and Objectives: The risk of cerebral palsy (CP) is high in preterm infants and is often accompanied by additional neurodevelopmental comorbidities. The present study describes lifetime prevalence of CP in a population-based prospective cohort of children born extremely preterm, including the type and severity of CP and other comorbidities (ie, developmental delay and/or cognitive impair
