Background: Circulating concentrations of biomarkers that are related to Vitamin status vary by factors such as diet, fortification, and supplement use. Published biomarker concentrations have also been influenced by the variation across laboratories, which complicates a comparison of results from different studies. Objective: We robustly and comprehensively assessed differences in biomarkers that

Understanding how specific atom sites on metal surfaces lower the energy barrier for chemical reactions is vital in catalysis. Studies on simplified model systems have shown that atoms arranged as steps on the surface play an important role in catalytic reactions, but a direct comparison of how the light-off temperature is affected by the atom orientation on the step has not yet been possible due

This thesis studies the complicated relationship between postwar social governance and neoliberalism. It looks at urban planning in particular because this is a key field of postwar social regulation as well as a strategic site of neoliberal reforms. The thesis examines urban planning paperwork from the Swedish city Malmö dating from the mid-1980s until 2015 with a particular focus on Folkets park

Background: The role of axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) has increasingly been called into question among patients with positive sentinel lymph nodes. Two recent trials have failed to show a survival difference in sentinel node-positive breast cancer patients who were randomized either to undergo completion ALND or not. Neither of the trials, however, included breast cancer patients undergoin

Denna bok är avsedd att vara en vägledning och fördjupning till utställningen Skatter i Skåneland. Boken innehåller dels en kronologisk översikt över såväl det historiska som det numismatiska skeendet i Skåneland under den tid när man där präglade mynt, och dels spännande historier kring de myntfynd som visas i utställningen. Tanken är att boken skall vara besökaren till nytta i utställningen men

This book is intended as a guide to the exhibition "Treasures in Skåneland”, providing further information. The book contains a chronological survey of general and numismatic history in Skåneland during the time when coins were minted here, as well as descriptions of the coin finds on show in the exhibition. The idea is that the book will be of use to visitors in the exhibition, while also making

Objectives. To assess the prevalences across Europe of radiological indices of degenerative inter-vertebral disc disease (DDD); and to quantify their associations with, age, sex, physical anthropometry, areal BMD (aBMD) and change in aBMD with time. Methods. In the population-based European Prospective Osteoporosis Study, 27 age-stratified samples of men and women from across the continent aged 50

Massive MIMO (MaMIMO) is a key technology for 5G wireless communication, enabling large increase in both spectral and energy efficiency at the same time. Before it can be deployed, it is important to find efficient implementation strategies. Because of the many antennas, an essential part of decreasing complexity, and further improving energy efficiency, is optimization of the digital signal proce

The devices that constitute the Internet of Things are evolving to include more than just enabling sensing and actuation over a wireless interface. In a contemporary scenario, these devices perform tasks and contribute to an aggregate information flow, in a distributed manner. In the wake of this evolution, new distributed Internet of Things frameworks have emerged. These frameworks maintain a dis
