Evaluation of long-term mating disruption of Ephestia kuehniella and Plodia interpunctella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) in indoor storage facilities by pheromone traps and monitoring of relative aerial concentrations of pheromones

The potential for pheromone-based mating disruption (MD) of Ephestia kuehniella (Walker) and Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) was investigated in two flour mills and a pet food distributor. Plastic sachets emitting 2–3 mg per d ( Z, E)-9,12-tetradecadienyl acetate, the major pheromone component of both moth species, were used as MD dispensers, which were applied in grid syst

Temperament and character in adults with Asperger syndrome

To study the personality characteristics of adults with Asperger syndrome, and investigate the value of self-rating personality inventories, we administered the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) to 31 outpatients with Asperger syndrome.The TCI is a self-rating personality inventory that has been validated in the Swedish general population. The results were compared with age- and sex-matche

The inverse scattering problem for a homogeneous bi-isotropic slab using transient data

Transient wave propagation in a finite bi-isotropic slab is treated. The incident field impinges normally on the slab, which can be inhomogeneous wrt depth. Dispersion and bi-isotropy are modeled by time convolutions in the constitutive relations. Outside the slab the medium is assumed to be homogeneous, non-dispersive and isotropic, and such that there is no phase velocity mismatch at the boundar

Soil properties affecting the frost sensitivity of beech bark in southern Sweden

Decline in pH and leakage of base cations have been recorded in beech forest soils in southern Sweden. This study investigated the influence of soil properties on frost sensitivity in beech bark and evaluated the effects on frost sensitivity of soil treatment with lime, wood ash or excessive N fertilization. Beech trees on five experimental sites were studied. The results indicated that beech tree

Short-term BOD (BODst) as a parameter for on-line monitoring of biological treatment process Part 1. A novel design of BOD biosensor for easy renewal of bio-receptor

A novel design of a biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) biosensor has been developed for on-line monitoring of easily biodegradable organic compounds in aqueous samples. The biological recognition element of the sensor could be easily renewed by injecting new bacterial paste without disassembling the sensor system. The sensor measurements were carried out in the initial-rate mode using a flow injectio

'The strength of strong ties': University spin-offs and the significance of historical relations

This article investigates the relationship between universities and academic spin-offs, with special emphasis on the antecedent conditions of, and the nature of the linkages that the spin-offs form, as well as the means for sustaining them. The present research uses an instrumental case study approach, and is also an instance of a collective case study as four companies of various size and activit

The Bronchoalveolar Lavage Proteome- Phenotypic associations to smoking and divergence towards development of COPD

Popular Abstract in Swedish Kroniskt Obstruktiv Lungsjukdom (KOL) är idag världens fjärde vanligaste dödsorsak vars dödlighetsfrekvens ökar. KOL är en lungsjukdom som nästan alltid beror på rökning och i hela världen är cirka 600 miljoner människor drabbade av sjukdomen. Detta gör KOL till världens vanligaste kroniska sjukdom. I Sverige beräknas sjukvårdskostnaderna för KOL att uppgå till ca 9,1 mProteomic analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid from smokers at risk of developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and never smokers is described. COPD is currently the world's fourth leading cause of death and its prevalence is increasing. The leading cause of COPD is smoking and an estimated 600 million people in the world suffer from COPD which makes it the world's most co

Requirements Engineering Challenges in Market-Driven Software Development – An Interview Study with Practitioners

Requirements engineering for market-driven software development entails special challenges. This paper presents results from an empirical study that investigates these challenges, taking a qualitative approach using interviews with fourteen employees at eight software companies and a focus group meeting with practitioners. The objective of the study is to increase the understanding of the area of

Binding Characteristics Determine the Neutralizing Potential of Antibody Fragments Specific for Antigenic Domain 2 on Glycoprotein B of Human Cytomegalovirus

Site I of antigenic domain 2 (AD-2) on human cytomegalovirus glycoprotein B (gB) is poorly immunogenic in both man and mouse and knowledge about antibody repertoires reactive with this epitope is thus limited. Here we have characterized a phage display-derived repertoire of antibody fragments specific for this epitope in terms of antigen recognition, fine-specificity, and virus-neutralizing capaci

Gestaltningar av offererfarenheter : Samtal med unga män som utsatts för brott

Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna avhandling analyseras unga mäns vålds- och offerupplevelser. Studien bygger på olika typer av material men det mest centrala underlaget består av samtalsintervjuer med unga män som har blivit utsatta för misshandel eller rån. Sätten på vilka de unga männen talar om sig själva, förövaren, våld och offerskap utgör utgångspunkten för analysen. Inom ramen för samtalIn this dissertation, young men's experiences of being victims of crime are analysed. Several kinds of material are considered in this study, but the primary data consist of informal, tape-recorded interviews with ten young men (17 to 21 year's old) who had been assaulted or mugged. Their accounts of their experiences are analysed using a number of constructionist, interactionist, and narrative pe

Experimental Details of the Stopped Beam RISING Campaign

The RISING (Rare ISotope INvestigations at GSI) project constitutes a major pan-european initiative to study nuclear structure in exotic nuclei. A brief outline of the technical details specific to studies of isomeric decays following relativistic projectile fragmentation reactions is presented.

Isolated 46,XY gonadal dysgenesis in two sisters caused by a Xp21.2 interstitial duplication containing the DAX1 gene.

Context: Testis development is a tightly regulated process that requires an efficient and coordinated spatiotemporal action of many factors, and it has been shown that several genes involved in gonadal development exert a dosage effect. Chromosomal imbalances have been reported in several patients presenting with gonadal dysgenesis as part of severe dysmorphic phenotypes. Results: We screened for

Direct resolution of naproxen on a non-covalently molecularly imprinted chiral stationary phase

A synthetic polymer selective for (S)-naproxen was prepared by molecular imprinting. 4-Vinylpyridine and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate were copolymerised in the presence of the template, (S)-naproxen. The template was extracted from the polymer, leaving specific recognition sites, complementary to the template. The polymer was utilized as a stationary phase in HPLC. Racemic naproxen was efficient

The minimal structure and motion problems with missing data for 1D retina vision

In this paper we investigate the structure and motion problem for calibrated one-dimensional projections of a two-dimensional environment. The theory of one-dimensional cameras are useful in several areas, e.g. within robotics, autonomous guided vehicles, projection of lines in ordinary vision and vision of vehicles undergoing so called planar motion. In a previous paper the structure and motion p

Signal correlation including antenna coupling

Mutual coupling effects between antenna elements on signal correlation are reported. A simple expression is derived to compute the correlation coefficient from the far-field radiation patterns including the characteristics of the propagation environment and the terminating impedance. It is shown that the mutual coupling between closely spatially separated dipoles call lead to increased signal deco

Early ageing in middle-aged men is associated with adverse social factors and increased mortality risk: The Malmö Preventive Project.

Aims: This study examined whether middle-aged men exhibiting markers of early ageing showed a different pattern of social factors, lifestyle, and biological variables compared with controls, and whether early ageing was associated with an increased mortality risk. Subjects and methods: We used a subgroup of 5,722 middle-aged men (mean age 47 years), investigated twice, from the Malmö Preventive Pr
