Nordic Lichen Flora Volume 4 – Parmeliaceae

The lichen flora of the Nordic countries, containing about 2000 species, is regarded as one of the best known in the world. Lichenological research of the region has been continuous since the days of Erik Acharius (1757–1819), the ”father of lichenology”, but it is a sad fact that there is no modern flora treatment of the region's impressive lichen flora, the last attempt in the 1870s being that o

Studies on the deposition, bioavailability and systemic activity of glucocorticoids in man

Popular Abstract in Swedish SVENSK SAMMANFATTNING Den kliniska effekten av läkemedel som administreras till näsa eller lunga beror på läkemedlets egenskaper och på dess lokala deposition. Depositionsstudier är därför värdefulla för att kunna karakterisera olika beredningar. Depositionen påverkas av partiklarnas storlek och hastighet, genom att stora partiklar med hög hastighet ger upphov till en hThe local deposition, pharmacokinetics, and systemic activity of inhaled and intranasal glucocorticosteroids in different formulations and devices(ICSs) has been investigated. After nasal administration of the ICS budesonide (Bud), the systemic availability (F) was found to be significantly higher from an aqueous pump spray and from the powder inhaler Turbuhaler, than from a pressurized metered do

Performance of a multifunctional PV/T hybrid solar window

A PV/T collector have been developed and evaluated at the department of Energy and Building Design at the Technical University of Lund, LTH in Sweden. The PV/T, a “multifunctional solar window” made of PV cells laminated on solar absorbers, is placed in a window behind the glazing. The solar window is built into a single family house, Solgården, in Älvkarleö outside Gävle in the eastern part of Sw

Can we evaluate the quality of software engineering experiments?

Context: The authors wanted to assess whether the quality of published human-centric software engineering experiments was improving. This required a reliable means of assessing the quality of such experiments. Aims: The aims of the study were to confirm the usability of a quality evaluation checklist, determine how many reviewers were needed per paper that reports an experiment, and specify an ap

Shrinkage of High-Performance Concrete.

This paper outlines an experimental and numerical study on the effect of w/c, silica fume and age on shrinkage of High-Performance Concrete (HPC). Cylinders of 8 types of HPC were cast. Carbonation and water-losses were studied parallel. Internal relative humidity (RH) and strength were investigated on cubes from the same batches of HPC that was used in the studies of shrinkage. The results indica

Phospholipase A2 in nerve injury and axonal outgrowth

This thesis deals with processes coupled to injury in the peripheral nervous system (PNS), with a general aim to investigate the role of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) enzymes in axonal outgrowth. The axonal outgrowth of dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons in vitro was reduced by several different inhibitors of PLA2 activity and enhanced by an activator of this enzyme. The PLA2 inhibitors acted locally in

Joint Facilities in Legal Private Management

The Swedish Joint Facilities create a common resource system for externalities of the individual property, such as common roads, bridges, residential services (waste disposal, car park, community places), irrigation and drainage schemes, and hunting ground. In a historical perspective, such facilities belonged to the village community, and remained as externalities when the society forced an inter

Naphthoxylosides – Probing the β4GalT7 active site

Popular Abstract in Swedish Våra kroppar är uppbyggda av celler. Dessa celler har olika funktioner beroende på var i kroppen de finns. Varje cell tar upp näring, omvandlar den till energi, och energin används för att cellen ska kunna fortleva och utöva specialiserade funktioner samt eventuellt reproducera sig. Kolhydrater är viktiga beståndsdelar i celler. De flesta av oss förknippar kolhydrater Proteoglycans (PGs) is a class of highly anionic macromolecules that consist of one or more linear polysaccharide chains (glycosaminoglycans, GAGs) covalently attached to a core protein. The biological functions of PGs are mainly due to the interactions of GAG chains with various protein ligands and regulatory factors, such as cytokines and growth factors. PGs and GAGs are critical for a diverse s
