Synthesis of the title compounds in four steps using inexpensive collidine and lutidine as starting materials is described.

The effect of adding Thermomyces (formerly Humicola) lanuginosa lipase (TLL) to a monoolein (MO)/sodium oleate (NaO) aqueous cubic liquid crystalline phase has been studied. H-1-NMR, C-13-NMR, H-1-PGSE (Pulsed-magnetic field Gradient Spin-Echo) self-diffusion measurements, and Small Angle X-ray Diffraction were used to follow the degradation of the cubic phase. The reaction sequence in terms of ph

We design a fully polynomial-time approximation scheme for the problem of finding a triangulation of a simple poly-on with a constant number of sources of dilation that achieves the minimum vertex dilation. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The accuracy in determination of organ activity of Tc-99m was investigated, with activity estimated from gamma camera images of phantoms, using the, conjugate view method. The accuracy depends on several parameters such as the choice of background correction method, the accuracy in determination of the effective attenuation coefficient and the thickness of the body and organs and on the determinat

Objective To describe changes between 1992 and 2003 in age, sex, factors at resuscitation and survival among patients suffering from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Sweden. Methods This was a prospective observational study including various ambulance organizations in Sweden. Patients suffering from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest between 1992 and 2003 included in the Swedish Cardiac Arrest Regis

Among asthmatics, exercise-induced wheeze (EIW) is a frequent symptom, and 40-77% of asthmatics demonstrate exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB). In the North-Trondelag population-based survey of 8,571 adolescents (YOUNG-HUNT), 26% reported wheeze during the previous 12 months (current wheeze). Of those subjects, 50% reported EIW. The aim of the present study was to investigate the associati

Three alleles at the PRKAG3 (RN) locus that influence the glycogen content of pork were found to be segregating in Hampshire x Landrace crossbred pigs, RN-, rn(+) as well as second mutant allele V 1991 (here denoted rn*). The effect of these three alleles on ultimate pH, pigment content, internal reflectance (FOP), surface colour measured by tristimulus colorimetry (L*, a*, b*) and fractions of de

In this report, a long-term study of the chloride environment around a highway exposed to severe de-icing is presented. The aim of the study was to obtain data that might be used for predictions of chloride ingress in de-iced structures and thereby provide necessary input to models for service life prediction.

This paper discusses two feasibility studies of Genetic Programming (GP) to the field of control theory, GP being a method inspired from nature where the goal is to create a computer program automatically from high-level statements of problems' requirements. The first feasibility study derives from stability theory and deals with evolving a program that can solve discrete-time Lyapunov equations.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Reklamen är ett oundvikligt inslag i vår vardagsmiljö och en viktig del av vår dagliga massmediekonsumtion. I den här studien har jag använt mig av tre italienskspråkiga reklambudskap för olivolja (Carapelli), pasta (Voiello) och kaffe (Lavazza) . I syfte att kunna belysa vilken viktig roll mottagarens sociokulturella bakgrund och encyklopediska kunskapsnivå spelar för The aim of this study is to describe how Italian advertising for olive oil, pasta and coffee reflects traditions, customs and culturally specific patterns regarding the ways in which these products are used in Italy, and how these culturally specific patterns are interpreted by native readers and non-native readers (Swedish students). The study is based on 22 Italian and 22 Swedish interpretations
