Haemophilus Protein F Orthologs of Pathogens Infecting the Airways : Exploiting Host Laminin at Heparin-Binding Sites for Maximal Adherence to Epithelial Cells

Haemophilus influenzae protein F (PF) is an important virulence factor interacting with laminin, an extracellular matrix protein ubiquitously expressed in the respiratory tract. Here we defined PF orthologs in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Moraxella catarrhalis, and Staphylococcus aureus, bacteria that occasionally colonize and infect the human airways. Despite low sequence homology (48.2%-77.3% similar

Language play and politics in contemporary Swedish hip-hop

Rap lyrics in Sweden have become increasingly multilingual in the past twenty years. In this chapter, Karin Nykvist provides insights into contemporary Swedish hip-hop and its use of multilingualism. In her analysis of Swedish rap poetics, Nykvist shows how hip-hop lyrics turn to multilingual aesthetics in order to destabilize and question ideas of national identity and to deconstruct the monoling

Cypriot hopes for unification are on life support, but not doomed

With elections on both sides of the border this year, the future of the island is up in the air. But there’s still hope for a different Cyprus, one free of the symbolic and physical violence expressed in the language of “motherlands”. A Cyprus whose citizens, treated as adults, will not need barricades and buffer zones to feel safe; one where crossing streets, forming friendships and falling in lo

B-type natriuretic peptide for prediction of incident clinically significant abdominal aortic aneurysm : A population-based prospective study

Pathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate inflammatory and hemodynamic plasma biomarkers as predictors for AAA in the prospective longitudinal cohort of middle-aged individuals from the cardiovascular cohort of the Malmö Diet and Cancer Study ( n=5551; 1991-94). C-reactive protein, cystatin C, copeptin, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic pepti

Control Using Local Distance Measurements Cannot Prevent Incoherence in Platoons

When local control strategies are used to arrange a platoon into a string like formation, there is mounting evidence that a poorly regulated accordion like motion will emerge. In this paper we prove that this is an inevitable consequence of using local distance measurements to design the control. More specifically we demonstrate that no controller, irrespective of its dynamical complexity, sparsit

Characterising Stability Implying Properties that are Preserved under Feedback

The passivity approach to the design of large networks is based on preserving the passivity property under different types of interconnection: parallel and negative feedback. Since the passivity property implies stability, this allows large and topologically complex networks to be constructed on the basis of simple local rules without the need for global stability analysis. In this paper we charac

Performance tradeoffs of dynamically controlled grid-connected inverters in low inertia power systems

Implementing frequency response using grid-connected inverters is one of the popular proposed alternatives to mitigate the dynamic degradation experienced in low inertia power systems. However, such solution faces several challenges as inverters do not intrinsically possess the natural response to power fluctuations that synchronous generators have. Thus, to synthetically generate this response, i
