High sexual risk taking and diverging trends of HIV-1 and HIV-2 in the military of Guinea Bissau

BACKGROUND: HIV and other sexually transmitted infections are a growing problem in the military personnel of Africa, and information about this problem in Guinea-Bissau is lacking. The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence and trends of the HIV epidemics in the military forces of Guinea Bissau and to explore possible risk factors for HIV infection. METHODOLOGY: Repeated cross-sectio

Time-Domain Nu-Gap Robustness Analysis for Shift-Invariant Systems

A nu-gap measure of distance between linear time-invariant systems is defined in terms of projections onto system graphs directly, without appealing to the existence of normalised strong graph representations as in the literature. A robust stability result is derived by exploiting an assumption on the compactness of a Hankel-type operator in a similar manner to recent developments on time-varying

Laccase from a Litter Degrading Fungus: Evaluation for Environmental Applications and Modification of Lignin to a Bioadhesive

Popular Abstract in Swedish The phenol oxidase “laccase” was first described towards the end of the 19th century from the wound sap of the lacquer tree Rhus vernicifera. However, its use in one of the oldest biotechnologies, i.e. the making of lacquerware in East-Asia, dates back to 5000-6000 BC. The enzyme has the widest distribution in nature among the multicopper oxidases. It catalyzes one elecLaccase, the phenol oxidizing enzyme, was first described towards the end of the 19th century from the wound sap of the lacquer tree Rhus vernicifera. The enzyme has the widest distribution in nature among the multicopper oxidases. It catalyzes single electron transfer oxidation in the presence of molecular oxygen producing water as by-product. Based on these highly desired mild oxidising conditio
