Adaptive Control of Systems Subject to Large Parameter Changes
Time-dependent quantum transport: A practical scheme using density functional theory
We present a computationally tractable scheme of time-dependent transport phenomena within open-boundary time-dependent density functional theory. Within this approach all the response properties of a system are determined from the time propagation of the set of "occupied" Kohn-Sham orbitals under the influence of the external bias. This central idea is combined with an open-boundary description o
Prognostic factors in soft tissue sarcoma - Tissue microarray for immunostaining, the importance of whole-tumor sections and time-dependence
In adult soft tissue sarcoma (STS) of the extremities and trunk wall, improved prognostic factors are needed to identify patients at high-risk for metastasis. Various factors are included in the many prognostic systems currently in use and the prognostic value of immunohistochemical (IHC) expression of biological markers is unclear. The tissue-preserving, high throughput tissue microarray (TMA) te
Guided wave propagation in three-layer pavement structures
A study on guided waves in a. layered half-space with large velocity contrasts and a decreasing velocity with depth is presented. Multiple mode dispersion curves are calculated in the complex wave number domain, taking into consideration the attenuation caused by leakage into the underlying half-space. The excitability of the modes by a vertical point force on the surface is also calculated. Resul
Differential changes in the association and dissociation rate constants for binding of cystatins to target proteinases occurring on N-terminal truncation of the inhibitors indicate that the interaction mechanism varies with different enzymes
The importance of the N-terminal region of human cystatin C or chicken cystatin for the kinetics of interactions of the inhibitors with four cysteine proteinases was characterized. The association rate constants for the binding of recombinant human cystatin C to papain, ficin, actinidin and recombinant rat cathepsin B were 1.1 x 10(7), 7.0 x 10(6), 2.4 x 10(6) and 1.4 x 10(6) M-1.s-1, whereas the
Associations between smoking and beta-cell function in a non-hypertensive and non-diabetic population. Skaraborg Hypertension and Diabetes Project
AIMS: An increased risk for Type 2 diabetes in male and female smokers has been associated with insulin resistance. However, this might also be the result of an adverse effect on the beta-cell. The aim of the present study was to examine the association between smoking and beta-cell function. METHODS: A community-based, cross-sectional observation study. In 1994, a randomized age-stratified sample

The morselized and impacted bone graft. Animal experiments on proteins, impaction and load
The results of primary hip replacements are good. However, dealing with a loose prosthesis has been problematic, especially when major bone deficiencies are encountered. These problems appear to have been solved by the introduction of the Slooff-Ling method of using morselized and impacted allograft chips. The clinical results are excellent in the hands of the innovators. However, it remains confu
Ett fall där objektet inte kan stå i fundamentet
Restrictions of what is in first position in a Swedish declarative clause are usually textual or pragmatic, very seldom grammatical. In this paper I discuss one case of this type, the fact that the indirect object cannot be in sentence initial position in passive of ditransitive verbs where the DP corresponding to the direct object has been promoted to subject, as in (i): (1) *Johan har det här jo

Objective To explore the feasibility of retroviral-mediated Flt 3 ligand (FL) and thrombopoietin (Tpo) genes transferred into and expressed in a bone marrow stromal cell line HFCL by internal ribosome entry site(IRES)sequence. Methods IRES sequence, FL and Tpo cDNA were recombined with retroviral vector pLXSN by gene recombination technology. The recombinant plasmid was transferred into retrovirus
Influence of factor V Leiden on the development of neovascularisation secondary to central retinal vein occlusion.
Aims: To investigate if the presence of factor V Leiden has an influence on the prognosis in central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). Methods: 166 patients with CRVO were studied retrospectively. They were tested for factor V Leiden using DNA analysis. The presence of the mutation was studied in correlation with the development of neovascular complications 1 year after the thrombotic event. Resu
Binding studies on substrate- and enantio-selective molecularly imprinted polymers
A molecularly imprinted polymer was prepared using tert-butyloxycarbonyl-L-phenylalanine as the print molecule and methacrylic acid as the functional monomer. The bulk polymer obtained was ground, sieved, packed into a column and investigated in the HPLC-mode by frontal chromatography to determine the number of binding sites and dissociation constants for the enantiomers interacting with the polym
In-vehicle speed adaptation - On the effectiveness of a voluntary system
The overarching aim of this thesis is to study the long term effects of a voluntary speed adaptation system, the Active Accelerator Pedal (AAP), and its effectiveness for different driver types. The papers making up this thesis are based on a study carried out on 284 vehicles and drivers in the Swedish city of Lund from 1999 until 2002. The results showed that the AAP brought a significant reducti
Seroepidemiology of the human polyomaviruses.
To assess the stability of polyomavirus antibodies in serial samples over time and the incidence and age-specific prevalence of polyomavirus infections, we established enzyme immunoassays (EIAs) using purified yeast-expressed virus-like particles (VLPs) containing the VP1 major capsid proteins of JC virus (JCV) and the AS and SB strains of BK virus (BKV). A random subsample of 150 Finnish women wh

PURPOSE: To investigate the correlation of estrogen receptor (ER) gene polymorphism to dry eye syndrome in postmenopausal women. METHODS: Xba I and Pvu II polymorphism of ER gene were studied by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) in 65 patients with dry eye syndrome and 73 with controls in postmenopausal women. RESULTS: There was a significant difference
Könsskillnadens estetik? Om konst och konstskapande i svensk hemslöjd på 1920- och 1990-talen
The main objective of this PhD thesis, "An Aesthetics of Sexual Difference? On Art and Artistry in Swedish Handicraft of the 1920s and 1990s", is to investigate the field of handicraft in relation to a wider field of cultural production. Its aim is to contribute to a mapping of interrelated outlines of handicraft and art based on empirical studies of artistic creation in two local Swedish handicra

Americanitis : Amerika som sjukdom eller läkemedel : Svenska berättelser om USA åren 1900-1939
Popular Abstract in SwedishAvhandlingen syftar till att studera svenska föreställningar om USA och det amerikanska och genom dem den svenska självbilden och olika visioner om den svenska framtiden i den offentliga debatten under perioden c:a 1900-1939, då USA var omdiskuterat som en mycket betydelsefull ny nation men ännu inte erkänt som en obestridlig supermakt. Den söker visa hur föreställningarThe aim of this thesis is to study Swedish notions of the USA and of things American and through them the Swedish self-image and the ideas about the Swedish future as seen in public debate in the period c. 1900-1939, when the USA was the subject of a good deal of discussion as an up-and-coming nation of great importance but was not yet recognized as an indisputable super power. It tries to demonst
