Bronchoconstriction is a hallmark in respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Current therapies use bronchodilating agents in order to control the exacerbations produced by limited airflow and improve the quality of life of patients suffering from these diseases. Capsazepine, a compound derived from the active principle of hot pepper (Capsicum annuum),
Popular Abstract in Swedish Redovisningsmått används som underlag för beslut och beräkningar och tas i sådana sammanhang ofta för givna. Det reflekteras inte alltid över måttens värde för den beslutssituation eller beräkning i vilken de används. I denna avhandling behandlas redovisningsmåtts användning i kontrakt och lagstiftning. I avhandlingen studeras framförallt användning av redovisningsmåttAccounting measures are often used as a basis for decisions and computations. In these capacities, accounting measures are often taken for granted. This thesis concerns the use of accounting measures in contracts and in legislation. The main focus of the thesis is the use of accounting measures in contracts for performance compensation. In this capacity, the usefulness of the measures derives fro
There is evidence to suggest that small businesses often start with innovative business ideas but fail within the first 3 years because the proprietors lack the expertise to make them thrive. In this context, it has been suggested that SMEs would benefit from support to select suitable ICTs that can help them to make the most of their business potential. Such suggestions tend to overlook a need to
Can we reconcile stability with non-manipulability in pairing problems by selecting lotteries over matchings?We examine the problem of eliciting preferences to make pairs as introduced by Gale and Shapley (1962). We develop ex-ante notions of stability and non-manipulability that are parameterized by collections of utility functions. In particular, we study the collection of utility functions with
Organochlorine compounds in fish lipids were characterized by studying the partitioning of chlorinated species into acidic and neutral fractions before and after hydrolysis of the lipids, and after transesterification to fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs). Chlorinated fatty acids (Cl-FAs) were found to be the major organochlorine components in the fish lipids. Approximately 90% of the extractable or
Connective tissues have many features in common, including resisting and dissipating mechanical load and providing shape, as well as acting to provide barriers regulating water flow and diffusibility of macromolecules. In this chapter we have chosen to focus on cartilage and bone, covering many aspects of connective tissues. We give special focus to the noncollagenous proteins in their matrices.

To claim to believe in God without accepting that God exists independently of human minds would mean reducing God to merely a human construct, thus not real enough for being the object of religious worship. This book sets out to challenge this common view on existence and religious belief. Arguing from concrete examples of language use in children's make-believe play and other ordinary situation
Micro-organisms are used industrially by humans, to improve production, either qualitatively or quantitatively, and to enhance profit or value. In cheese production, the starter bacteria hydrolyse casein degradation products generated by rennet. Some bitter peptides accumulate during cheese ripening, and their degradation would improve the flavour of the cheese. Plasmid pHP003 from the starter st
The goal of inquiry in this essay is to ascertain to what extent the Principle of Compositionality – the thesis that the meaning of a complex expression is determined by the meaning of its parts and its mode of composition – can be justifiably imposed as a constraint on semantic theories, and thereby provide information about what meanings are. Apart from the introduction (Chapter One) and the con
Artikeln analyserar hur historiedidaktiska frågeställningar och begrepp fått ett allt starkare genomslag i den moderna historievetenskapen.
Impact hammer and non-contact speaker excitation were applied to an asphalt concrete, a PVC-U and a concrete specimen to measure the fundamental longitudinal resonance frequency at different strain levels. The impact and the noncontact excitation methods resulted in similar resonance frequencies for the undamaged asphalt concrete and for the PVC-U specimen. However, the two excitation approaches g

This research examines the impact of different control strategies on the management of returnable transport items (RTIs) in closed-loop supply chains. A simulation model is developed based on an empirical case and is used to explore different scenarios. The results suggest that the choice of control strategy has a significant impact on investments and operating costs, and that RTI shrinkage can be
