The work presented in this thesis has aimed to improve the knowledge about the groundwater occurrence in different geological conditions in Mozambique. The main focus in this study has been on the understanding of hydrogeological conditions in area with little background information by use of geophysical investigation. The lack of background information is a problem in many countries because the e

Background: Anterolateral myocardial infarction (MI) is traditionally defined on the electrocardiogram by ST-elevation (STE) in I, aVL, and the precordial leads. Traditional literature holds STE in lead aVL to be associated with occlusion proximal to the first diagonal branch of the left anterior descending coronary artery. However, concomitant ischemia of the inferior myocardium may theoretically

Swedish translation of five poems by American poet Fanny Howe (b. 1940), followed by a brief introduction to her work in general

Sweden has a small internal market and, thus, bases its wealth on the exports. Following the so-called Rhen-Meidner model this objective is also achieved thought the solidarity wage: wages are parametrized on a lead-ing sector (generally the major export industry) and because each firm faces the same labour cost they are obliged to base their competitiveness on higher productivity levels (reached

Water samples were collected from streams in west-central Nicaragua at the end of the dry season as part of a study of riverine solutes in volcanic terrains. Streams in volcanic watersheds had lower mean Ca2+ and Mg2+ concentrations (0.29 mM Ca2+; 0.13 mM Mg2+; 0.96 mM Ca2+ and 0.51 mM Mg2+) and slightly higher Ca:Mg molar ratios (2.1) than streams in marine carbonate rocks (1.89). Dissolved Si co

Sweden is a country that traditionally respects the freedom of association and the large number of existing trade unions confirms this statement.On the other hand, however, the Swedish trade union system is structured in a way that eliminates almost every sort of competition between different organizations. In fact, for every sector of the economy there is approximately one union for blue collars

Architectural design is a process of creative problem solving, moreover architects manage not only information about the building but also about the user organisation. Therefore, information systems for architectural design must support the development of new ideas and concepts, and must be able to handle both building and user data. The paper presents two recently developed prototype applicationsArchitectural design is a process of creative problem solving, moreover architects manage not only information about the building but also about the user organisation.

Authors of a recent paper demonstrate that, like ERMES (ER-mitochondria encounter structure) in fungal cells, PDZD8 (PDZ domain containing 8) tethers mitochondria to the ER in mammalian cells. However, identifying PDZD8 as a "functional ortholog" of yeast Mmm1 (maintenance of mitochondrial morphology protein 1) is at odds with the phylogenetic data. PDZD8 and Mmm1 are paralogs, not orthologs, whic
