The phase behavior of different carboxylic acids/nonionic polymer/water systems has been studied. The carboxylic acids investigated are acetic acid, propionic acid, and butyric acid. The polymers used are a linear random copolymer of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide (UCON) and ethyl(hydroxyethyl)-cellulose (EHEC). These polymers display a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) in water. The

Det finns bara en regel när det gäller drömmar, spöken och proletärer: Var försiktig, de kommer bara fram på natten! Kom med oss och håll ögonen öppna – du drömmer redan, nu ska du falla i sömn!Genom en nattlig expedition, eller för att vara mer exakt en night-walk, undersöker vi drömmarna och mardrömmarna hos dem som en gång kallades “arbetare” eller “proletärer”. Natten undergräver dagens ordnin

Environmental and climate hazards, such as floods, increasingly cause damages in cities and urbanised areas in Germany. The capacity of the impacted populations to cope with the outcome of related disasters is, amongst others, influenced by their vulnerability. Vulnerability reduction is thus key for creating social or structural resilience. This is particularly the case during post-disaster recov

The American Paediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI) is a new instrument for evaluating functional performance in disabled children aged 6 months to 7.5 years. It was developed to determine a child's functional capacity and performance in three domains, self-care, mobility and social function, as reflected in scores on three scales: (i) functional skills (current capability in specifi

The treatment of oblique subtrochanteric femoral fractures is often difficult. Both fixation with a nail and plate, and intramedullary nailing have several pitfalls. Four cases treated with intramedullary Ender nailing combined with Parham modified bands are presented. The method is technically simple, gives complete reduction, allows early mobilization and gives a good functional result.

Definitions and understandings of disease are to a large extent culturally dependent, even if there are also biological components to this. While many medieval religious orders nursed an interest for science and knowledge in general, their approach to medicine was complicated by the complex attitude towards illness and the tending of the body within Christendom. Archaeological artifacts from Ciste

The development of gut microbiota during ontogeny is emerging as an important process influencing physiology, immunity and fitness in vertebrates. However, knowledge of how bacteria colonize the juvenile gut, how this is influenced by changes in the diversity of gut bacteria and to what extent this influences host fitness, particularly in nonmodel organisms, is lacking. Here we used 16S rRNA gene

Grafted neurons obtained from the fetal basal forebrain can provide a functional cholinergic reinnervation of the hippocampal formation in rats with a lesion of the intrinsic septal cholinergic afferents. In the present experiments graft-derived acetylcholine release in the hippocampus was studied by microdialysis in awake rats during different types of behaviours which are known to activate the i

Konstinstallation gjord i förhållande till en målning av Pierre Bonnard, Tree Near the River, 1909 som är del av Heine Onstad Kunstcenter i Oslo. Producerat för grupputställningen på museet: "In Search of Matisse"

We measured the cross section and response functions for the quasielastic 16O(e,e′p) reaction for missing energies 25≤Em≤120MeV at missing momenta Pm≤340MeV/c. For 25

This paper presents a 16-lane, 16-bit complex application-specific instruction processor (ASIP) for baseband processing in massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO). The architecture utilizes a 3/4-way very large instruction word (VLIW) with highly efficient pre- and post-processing units specifically trimmed for massive MIMO requirements. Architecture optimizations include features like singl

The annual European Respiratory Society (ERS) International Congress (held in Paris in 2018) was once again a platform for discussion of the highest-quality scientific research, cutting-edge techniques and innovative new therapies within the respiratory field. This article discusses only some of the high-quality research studies presented at this year's Congress, with a particular focus on airway
