Metalloantibiotic Mn(II)-bacitracin complex mimicking manganese superoxide dismutase

Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities of various metallobacitracin complexes were evaluated using the riboflavin-methionine-nitro blue tetrazolium assay. The radical scavenging activity of various metallobacitracin complexes was shown to be higher than those of the negative controls, e.g., free transition metal ions and metal-free bacitracin. The SOD activity of the complex was found to be in the

A Study of Spreading of Vanadia on Titania Polymorphs Using Mechanical Mixtures

Mechanical mixtures of V2O5 and each of the three titania polymorphs TiO2(B), anatase and rutile were heated in air at 450°C. Spreading of vanadia was found to occur on all three polymorphs. After 36 hours of heating, coverage with interacting vanadia (the part that is insoluble in aq. NH3) on TiO2(B), anatase and rutile, respectively, was 54, 48 and 38 % of a theoretical monolayer. Raman spectra

Space wars and the new urban imperialism

Popular AbstractAvhandlingen analyserar sentida urbana förändringar ur perspektivet kampen om rummet, här kallat 'space wars'. Fokus är på investeringsflöden inom den kommersiella fastighetsmarknaden, förändringar inom urbanpolitik, förändring inom stadens socialgeografi, och relationer mellan dessa tre aspekter. Empiriskt bygger avhandlingen på studier av data rörande utländska investeringar, arkThe dissertation analyzes recent urban transformations through the lens of space wars. The main focus is on investment flows in the commercial property market, changes in urban governance and changes in social geography, and how these three aspects are related. Drawing on cross border investment data, archive studies, interviews with key actors and street walking experiences in Copenhagen, Lisbon

DNA ploidy in soft tissue sarcoma: Comparison of flow and image cytometry with clinical follow-up in 93 patients : comparison of flow and image cytometry with clinical follow-up in 93 patients

In soft tissue sarcoma, the prognostic importance of DNA ploidy status is limited. One possible explanation may be technical; small nondiploid stemlines will he diluted in relation to the presence of normal diploid cells and may not be detected by flow cytometry (FCM). We assessed DNA ploidy status in 93 tumors with both FCM and image cytometry (ICM). ICM may permit the exclusion of nonrelevant ce

The role of K2O in the selective reduction of NO with NH3 over a V2O5(WO3)/TiO2 commercial selective catalytic reduction catalyst

To elucidate the nature of the acid sites of the V2O5(WO3)/TiO2 catalyst upon K2O addition and its relation to the selective reduction of NO with NH3, measurements were made by means of infrared and Raman spectroscopy, NH3 chemisorption, and NO reduction measurements as a function of the K2O loading. The catalytic activity was found to decrease rapidly with the K2O loading, irrespective of the sim

Intermediate resonance excitation in the gamma p -> p pi(0)pi(0) reaction

The helicity dependence of the total cross section for the (gamma) over right arrow(p) over right arrow -> p pi(0)pi(0) reaction has been measured for the first time at incident photon energies from 400 to 800 MeV. The measurement, performed at the tagged photon beam facility of the MAMI accelerator in Mainz, used the large acceptance detector DAPHNE and a longitudinally polarized frozen-spin targ

Environmental Monitoring - using diode-laser-based spectroscopic techniques

Monitoring of environmental gases is necessary to understand the complex processes governing global warming and the impact of pollutant emissions related to human activity. Diode-laser-based spectroscopic techniques, being robust and affordable, have a great potential to become an industrially well-established technology for environmental sensing. This thesis deals with the further development of

One week sweating simulation test with a thermal foot model

This study aimed to find out how the insulation of the footwear changes over one week of use. A thermal foot model with 8 measuring zones and 5 “sweat glands” was used for tests. A thin sock was donned on the model to allow better water distribution all over the foot surface. Four boots were tested over a period of 5 days. Each day was divided into 9 hour measurement period and 15 hour conditionin

Performance of an On-Demand Beam Excitation System for PIXE Analysis

A system for electrostatic on-demand beam excitation in PIXE analysis has been built and carefully tested. Significantly increased count rate capability without any need for corrections for electronic dead time and with less target deterioration makes the system superior to a traditional system with electronic pile-up rejection. By adding a fast external electronic pulse pile-up rejection system,

Changes in bone mineral, lean body mass and fat content as measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry: a longitudinal study

Bone mineral density (BMD) and soft tissue composition were measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) 3-4 years apart in 273 men and women aged 23-90. We found different rates of BMD loss in different skeletal regions. There were also different rates of BMD loss in different regions within the hip. Average rates of loss for male subjects 50 years of age and above for BMD total body were 0

A Silicon-Tungsten Electromagnetic Calorimeter for LEP

This report describes a silicon-tungsten electromagnetic calorimeter used to determine some beam properties and luminosity in the DELPHI experiment at LEP. The polar angular range covered by this detector is 5–8 mrad, which allows the detection of a Bhabha rate about 10 times the rate of produced Z particles at the peak cross section.
