Object oriented modeling naturally leads to implicitly defined dynamical systems or, as they are also called, differential algebraic equations (DAEs). Most existing DAE integrators require the equations defining the dynamical system to have a special structure. Progress on the development of a new integrator for general unstructured DAEs is presented. The new integrator is called UCP. Computationa
This article discusses the state of contemporary feminist politics in Sweden.
The complement system constitutes an important component of the innate immune system. To colonize their host and/or to cause disease, many pathogens have evolved strategies to avoid complement-mediated bacterial lysis and opsonophagocytosis. In this study, using a collection of 55 clinical isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae, we demonstrate for the first time that pneumococci bind the complement

To describe patterns of leisure time physical activity during pregnancy in relation to pre-pregnancy leisure time physical activity, socio-demographic characteristics, fertility history, and lifestyle factors. 4,718 nulliparous with singleton pregnancy and intended spontaneous vaginal delivery were included in the study at gestational week 33 from May 2004 to July 2005. Information was provided by
A bibliograhy of Erik Cinthio, professor in medieval archaeology at Lund University. The bibliography covers the period 1946-2011. In his festschrift, "Medeltiden och arkeologin. Festskrift till Erik Cinthio" (1986) a bibliograhy by the same author covered the period 1946-86.
Ischemic stroke is a major cause of adult disability. Stroke-induced brain damage is accompanied by inflammation - activation of resident microglia and infiltration of blood-circulating monocytes. The effect of these cells on neuro-plasticity and recovery after stroke could be detrimental as well as beneficial. The future challenge is to understand the mechanisms of action of immune cells on cellu
Primary immunodeficiencies (IDs) are caused by inherited genetic defects leading to intrinsic defects in cells of the immune systems. Most IDs are rare diseases and can be difficult to diagnose because similar symptoms characterize several disorders. Mutation detection is the most reliable method in such cases. These tests are not available at most centers and physicians can have difficulties in f
Here we demonstrate a synergistic and tumor selective cytotoxic effect by combined treatment with naphthoxylosides, polyamine synthesis inhibitor, and polyamine based nitric oxide (NO) donor, using in vitro human tumor models. We have earlier reported that heparan sulfate priming naphthoxyloside, 2-(6-hydroxynaphthyl)-O-beta-d-xylopyranoside, which inhibits growth of human tumor cells in vitro and
An overview of recent high-spin nuclear structure studies in proton-rich nuclides near the doubly-magic isotope Ni-56 is presented.
