Tropic of Value

In Rabinowicz & Rønnow-Rasmussen (1999), we defended the following claims: (i) Not only states of affairs, or facts, but also concrete objects, such as things or persons, may have final value (value for their own sake); (ii) The final value of a concrete object need not be intrinsic, i.e., it need not be exclusively based on the internal (non-relational) properties of its bearer; (iii) The fi

A thermostable alkaline protease from a new alkaliphilic Nesterenkonia sp.

This thesis concerns a novel alkaline protease produced by an extremophilic microbial specie, designated as AL20, isolated from a feather sample collected at the shore of the alkaline soda lake Abjata in the Ethiopian Rift Valley. The isolate is a heterotrophic, alkaliphilic, halotolerant gram-positive, strictly aerobic, non-motile, non-spore forming bacterium. The organism grew at 37°C, pH 10, an

The Challenge of Cloud Control

Today’s cloud data center infrastructures are not even near being able to cope with the enormous and rapidly varying capacity demands that will be reality in a near future. So far, very little is understood about how to transform today’s data centers (being large, power-hungry facilities, and operated through heroic efforts by numerous administrators) into a self-managed, dynamic, and dependable i

Alzheimer's Disease: The role of alpha1-antichymotrypsin-amyloid peptide (Abeta 1-42) interaction in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an age-related, irreversible brain disorder that occurs gradually and results in memory loss, behavioural and personality changes. The disease is characterized by an abnormal accumulation of amyloid-beta (Ab) peptide in the extracellular space and the protein Tau within nerve cells of certain regions of the brain. Aâ1-42 is a major component of amyloid deposits in AD, b

The Swedish Knee Arthroplasty study with special reference to unicompartmental prostheses.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Svenska knäplastikregistret och knäledsoperation med enkammarprotes av Stefan Lewold Ledsjukdom, oftast artros, är den vanligaste kroniska åkomman hos äldre. Dess orsak är oftast inte känd och någon förebyggande behandling finns inte. Icke operativ behandling kan i tidiga stadier dämpa symptomen men då sjukdomen fortskrider får patienten allt svårare att klara sig. GenThe Swedish Knee Arthroplasty study has prospectively registered and followed knee arthroplasties done in Sweden since 1976. Demography, epidemiology and general knee prosthetic biofunction is given for 30,003 primary knee arthro-plasties and their revisions through 1992. The annual number of knee arthroplasties increased fourth fold while the relative use of Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UK
