Principles help to analyse but often give no solution--secondary prevention after a cardiac event.
The aim of this paper is to investigate whether or not ethical conflicts can be identified, analysed and solved using ethical principles. The relation between the physician and the patient with ischemic heart disease (IHD) as life style changes are recommended in a secondary prevention program is used as an example. The principal persons affected (the patient and his or her spouse) and the ethical
Assessing requirements compliance scenarios in system platform subcontracting
In the mobile industry, system platforms are offered to device developers to enable rapid product development while sharing expensive technology development investments. This paper presents a framework for assessment of requirements engineering collaboration related to statements-of-compliance negotiation in platform subcontracting. The framework includes a classification of platform compliance sc
Small-scale magnetic fields on late-type M-dwarfs
We performed kinematic studies of the evolution of small-scale magneticfields in the surface layers of M-dwarfs. We solved the inductionequation for a prescribed velocity field, magnetic Reynolds number ReM,and boundary conditions in a Cartesian box, representing a volumecomprising the optically thin stellar atmosphere and the uppermost partof the optically thick convective envelope. The velocity
Spatial population dynamics and the design of marine reserves
The failure of many fisheries world-wide, and the concern about marine biodiversity, has sparked a growing interest in the spatial aspects of harvested populations. If a population conforms to the Ideal Free Distribution and that one of the habitats is set aside as a reserve free from harvesting, the design of reserves may be problematic. If a substantial proportion of the unharvested population i
Theoretical pressure and dielectric second virial coefficients of CO-Ar
Using coupled cluster singles and doubles linear response theory and the d-aug-cc-pVTZ basis set extended with a 3s3p2d1f1g set of midbond functions, the interaction induced electric dipole polarisability surface of the CO-Ar van der Waals complex is computed. Combining this surface with accurate intermolecular potential energy and electric dipole surfaces, the pressure and dielectric second viria

Two-stage anaerobic digestion of energy crops: Methane production, nitrogen mineralisation and heavy metal mobilisation
Energy crops (willow, sugar beet and grass silage) were digested ill pilot scale two-stage anaerobic digesters. The specific methane yields obtained were 0.16, 0.38 and 0.39 m(3) kg(-1) added volatile solids (VSadded) for willow, sugar beet and grass, respectively, corresponding to yearly gross energy yields of 15, 53 and 26 megawatt-hours (MWh) per hectare. With grass and sugar beets as substrate
Morphological observations on a lipid-based drug delivery system during in vitro digestion
The in vitro digestion of a self nano-emulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) was visualized by cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (Cryo-TEM). The dynamic lipolysis model, simulating the environment of the gastrointestinal tract in fasted conditions, was used for this purpose. The results revealed that micelles are present during the entire lipolysis process. Oil droplets from the self n

General patterns of the phase behavior of mixtures of H2O, alkanes, alkyl glucosides, and cosurfactants
We demonstrate how rather hydrophilic surfactants can be used for solubilizing simultaneously water and alkane. The required hydrophilic-lipophilic balance can be achieved by the addition of a medium-chain alcohol, that is, a hydrophobic cosurfactant. Specifically, the phase behavior of the quaternary water-n-octane-n-octyl beta-glucopyranoside (C(8)G(1))-n-octanol (C8E0) system has been investiga
Typical Load Shapes for Swedish Schools ans Hotels
In this study, typical load shapes for two categories of Swedish commercial and public buildings – schools and hotels – are presented and discussed. The measurements from 13 schools and 9 hotels in the south part of Sweden were analysed. Load shapes are developed for different mean daily outdoor temperatures and different day-types - standard weekdays and standard weekends. The load shapes are pre

Auditory event-related brain potentials in parents of children with specific language impairment
Auditory event-related brain potentials evoked in response to tone stimuli and to speech stimuli were recorded in a group of parents of children with specific language-impairment and a group of parents of normally speaking children. The parents of the language-impaired children showed longer P3 latencies than the parental control group in the speech task requiring a phonological discrimination, bu

Extinction risk under coloured environmental noise
Positively autocorrelated red environmental noise is characterized by a strong dependence of expected sample variance on sample length. This dependence has to be taken into account when assessing extinction risk under red and white uncorrelated environmental noise. To facilitate a comparison between red and white noise, their expected variances can be scaled to be equal, but only at a chosen time

Antimuscarinics for treatment of overactive bladder
For many years, antimuscarinic drugs have been the first-line pharmacological treatment for urgency, frequency, and urge incontinence, all symptoms of the disorder termed overactive bladder. Antimuscarinic treatment is not always effective and is associated with side-effects that limit its clinical use. The clinical significance of the effects of antimuscarinic drugs has been questioned lately. In
