Isomer Spectroscopy of Cd-127

The spin and configurational structure of excited states of Cd-127, the two-proton and three-neutron hole neighbor of Sn-132, has been studied. An isomeric state with a half-life of 17.5(3) mu s was populated in the fragmentation of a Xe-136 beam on a Be-9 target at a beam energy of 750 MeV/u. Time distributions of the delayed gamma transitions and gamma gamma coincidence relations were exploited

Anger, depression and anxiety associated with endothelial function in childhood and adolescence

Objective Psychosocial adversity is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in adults. The authors assessed associations of reactive hyperaemia peripheral arterial tonometry (RH-PAT), a measure of endothelial function predictive of CVD, with self-assessed psychological health among school children. Methods A total of 248 healthy school children (mean (SD) age 14.0 (1.0); 136 girls and 112 b

Evidence for Positive Selection within the PgiC1 Locus in the Grass Festuca ovina.

The dimeric metabolic enzyme phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI, EC 5.3.1.9) plays an essential role in energy production. In the grass Festuca ovina, field surveys of enzyme variation suggest that genetic variation at cytosolic PGI (PGIC) may be adaptively important. In the present study, we investigated the molecular basis of the potential adaptive significance of PGIC in F. ovina by analyzing cDNA s

Regional and Industrial Growth Patterns in 20th Century Western Europe

This thesis deals with various aspects of growth, convergence and technological change, all analysed from an empirical perspective. A common theme throughout the six chapters is the analysis of economic historical questions of productivity growth with the use of quantitative statistical techniques. An introductory chapter is followed by two chapters on the Western European regional growth and conv

Ternary Hom-Nambu-Lie algebras induced by Hom-Lie algebras

The need to consider n-ary algebraic structures, generalizing Lie and Poisson algebras, has become increasingly important in physics, and it should therefore be of interest to study the mathematical concepts related to n-ary algebras. The purpose of this paper is to investigate ternary multiplications (as deformations of n-Lie structures) constructed from the binary multiplication of a Hom-Lie alg

RosettaRemodel: A Generalized Framework for Flexible Backbone Protein Design

We describe RosettaRemodel, a generalized framework for flexible protein design that provides a versatile and convenient interface to the Rosetta modeling suite. RosettaRemodel employs a unified interface, called a blueprint, which allows detailed control over many aspects of flexible backbone protein design calculations. RosettaRemodel allows the construction and elaboration of customized protoco

A phylogenetic analysis of xanthorioid lichens (Teloschistaceae, Ascomycota) based on ITS and mtSSU sequences

A phylogenetic analysis of xanthorioid lichens of the lichen family Teloschistaceae, based on ITS rDNA and mtSSU sequences, is presented. The data set includes 201 specimens representing 50 species, covering the xanthorioid lichen group, which resulted in 183 new sequences. Five well-supported groups were recognized in the MP analysis: 1) Seirophora, 2) the Xanthoria s. str.-Xanthodactylon group,

Risk and prediction of violent crime in forensic psychiatry

Popular Abstract in Swedish Syfte: Att undersöka den prediktiva precisionen hos ålder för missbruksdebut, MAO-B aktiviteten i blod, samt olika kombinationer av kriminologiska och kliniska riskfaktorer med avseende på återfall i våldsbrott hos tidigare våldsbrottsdömda i en prospektiv svensk uppföljningsstudie. Studiepopulation: Hundra våldsbrottslingar, konsekutivt intagna för rättspsykiatrisk undObjective: To test the predictive accuracy for violent recidivism of the age at onset of substance abuse, the platelet MAO-B activity, and various combinations of criminological and clinical risk factors among violent offenders in a prospective Swedish follow-up study. Subjects: One hundred violent offenders, consecutively admitted for forensic psychiatric investigations between 1998 and 2001 (bas

Trends in the quality of human-intensive software engineering experiments – A quasi-experiment.

Context: Several text books and articles published between 2000 and 2002 have attempted to introduce experimental design and statistical methods to software engineers undertaking empirical studies. Objective: This paper investigates whether there has been an increase in the quality of human-centric experimental and quasi-experimental journal papers over the time period 1993 to 2010. Method: 70 exp

Europe Refracted: Western Education and Knowledge in China

European educational knowledge and practices have been deeply impacted by the colonial experience. While hegemonic knowledge was exported to the colonies, practices of teaching and governing colonial subjects were tested in the periphery and then re-imported to the center. This contribution looks at a case of European education outside Europe that did not take place, at least not entirely, in a co

Maktens boningar

The chapter describes and discusses some of the most prominent historical buildings in the county of Kalmar.

Surface chemistry of glycine on Pt{111} in different aqueous environments

Adsorption of glycine on Pt{111} under UHV conditions and in different aqueous environments was studied by XPS (UHV and ambient pressure) and NEXAFS. Under UHV conditions, glycine adsorbs in its neutral molecular state up to about 0.15 ML Further deposition leads to the formation of an additional zwitterionic species, which is in direct contact with the substrate surface, followed by the growth of

Immunizations With IFN gamma Secreting Tumor Cells can Eliminate Fully Established and Invasive Rat Gliomas

Immunotherapy of malignant primary brain tumors holds the potential to improve the dismal prognosis after current clinical therapy. Although immunotherapy of experimental gliomas has been demonstrated to have the capacity to cure intracerebral tumors no convincing effects of immunotherapy have been shown in clinical trials. One reason for this could be that some of the models used do not display f
