The high level of protection required by personal protective clothing (PPC) severely impedes heat exchange by sweat evaporation. As a result work associated with wearing PPC, particularly in hot environments, implies considerable physiological strain and may render workers exhausted in a short time. Recent development of algorithms for describing the heat transfer, accounting for pumping and wind

From 1975, when the Swedish Knee Arthroplasty Register (SKAR) started, until the end of 1997, 57,533 primary arthroplasties and revisions have been registered. Recently, the register underwent a comprehensive validation and update regarding revisions. We now report on general demographic and epidemiological data for the whole period and on the survivorship of arthroplasties performed in Sweden dur

This study was undertaken to establish the most reliable breaker depth index formula that will yield satisfactory predictions for a wide range of hydraulic and beach conditions. The applicability of six existing formulas for computing the breaker depth index was examined with the use of a large amount of published laboratory data (524 cases collected from 22 sources). The behavior of these formula

We present an excerpt of the document "Quantum Information Processing and Communication: Strategic report on current status, visions and goals for research in Europe", which has been recently published in electronic form at the website of FET (the Future and Emerging Technologies Unit of the Directorate General Information Society of the European Commission, http://www.cordis.lu/ist/fet/qipc-sr.ht

Type 2 diabetic patients often die because of end-stage renal failure, but no definitive reliable factor predicting long-term renal outcome has been identified. We tested whether a renal arterial resistance index (R/I) >= 80, using Doppler ultrasound technique, was predictive of worsening renal function. The primary end points of the study were 1) the course of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and

We report on a theoretical study of the electronic structure of [100]-oriented free-standing III-V semiconductor nanowires with quadratic (square wire) and rectangular (nanobelt) cross-sections based on an atomistic tight-binding approach. It is shown that at the same cross-section aspect ratio, the characteristics of the band structure and state wave functions of the nanowires in the vicinity of

Popular Abstract in Swedish ?Överbrygga det kommunikativa gapet mellan personer med en demenssjukdom och deras vårdare. Ett omvårdnadsperspektiv? En problematik i omvårdnaden av personer med långt framskriden demenssjukdom är hur vårdare skall tolka och förstå den demensdrabbade så att omvårdnaden kan anpassas till dennes behov. Forskning tyder på att vissa reaktioner, bland annat aggressiva handThe aim was to explore possible areas and sources that could inform the care for people with dementia. These were the people with dementia themselves, nurses reflective discussions about caring, nurse-patient interaction together with information from close family members, and the previous personality and sense of coherence of people with dementia in relation to behaviour during the disease as rel

The spectroscopic properties of a molecule is strongly dependent on interactions with the surrounding environment. We have used time dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) and a multilevel perturbation model to study the transition energies, polarizability, and dipole moments of a bacteriochlorophyll in an electric field. The perturbation Hamiltonian was constructed as to give an electric fie

This paper describes a method for online supervision of control loops that automatically detects oscillations in the loops. The paper describes the method, its implementation in a Honeywell TDC3000 system, and experiences obtained from its use in the mill AssiDomän Frövi.

Proteoglycans are well-known modulators of intercellular communication and signaling. Remodeling of the proteoglycans in the human uterus occurs throughout pregnancy, and during labor. We therefore hypothesize that heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) play an important role in establishing normal labor. In this study HSPGs were characterized and localized in human uterine tissue. Uterine biopsies
