Purpose: To assess the value of the combined use of dynamic susceptibility contrast-enhanced perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and conventional contrast-enhanced MRI for the follow-up of treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Material and Methods: 79 examinations were performed in six surgically and immunogene-treated patients and two surgically treated patients. Ratios of the relati

Genom bevarade handböcker och skrifter vet vi idag mycket om tal och talutbildning i antiken. Denna kunskap kan vi idag använda som analysredskap. Jag beskriver i denna korta översikt de mest elementära dragen i antik retorik och ger exempel på hur den bidrar till tolkningen av NT. Den retoriska textanalysen hjälper så * att se argumentationsflödet i texten * att upptäcka textens funktion * att sThis article summarizes some main features which characterize New Testament scholarship with regard to rhetorical criticism/rhetorical analysis. The first part shows the background of rhetoric in Aristotle's basic observations of how communication between men is persuasive. The actualization and application of rhetorical analysis since Perelman's and Betz' work is also shortly sketched. The second

Jellyfish belong to one of the oldest extant animal phyla, the Cnidaria. The first Cnidaria appear in the fossil record 600 million years ago, preceeding the Cambrian explosion. They are an extremely successful group present in all marine environments and some freshwater environments. In contrast to many animal phyla in which vision is a primary sense Cnidarians do not, generally, employ image for

The biomass and bacterial ingestion rates of mixotrophic phytoflagellates were examined on diurnal and seasonal scales in oligotrophic Lake Skarlen (S. Sweden). Ingestion rates were measured using fluorescent microspheres in situ on three depths every 6(th) hour during 24 hours in summer in order to quantify diurnal variations and once at midday during autumn, winter and spring. Mixotrophic phytof

This paper presents an analysis of phase noise in multiphase LC oscillators, and measurement results for several CMOS quadrature-voltage-controlled-oscillators (QVCOs) working in the 2-GHz frequency range. The phase noise data for a so-called BS-QVCO (-140 dBc/Hz or less at 3 MHz frequency offset from the carrier, for a power consumption of 20.8 mW and a figure-of-merit of 184 dBc/Hz) show that ph

In 2000 the European Council agreed on the so called ‘Lisbon Strategy’, the purpose of which is to make the European Union the strongest and most competitive economy in the world and also to fight unemployment and secure social welfare systems. One year later, in 2001, an ‘environmental dimension’ was supplemented to the Lisbon Strategy at the Council meeting in Gothenburg. An ‘EU Strategy for Sus

OBJECTIVES. To compare family physicians' reported practice habits on hypertension in Sweden and Minnesota, and to assess to what extent different national guidelines account for differences. DESIGN. Random samples of family physicians were selected for telephone interviews on their practice of hypertension. SETTING. Primary care in southern Sweden and in Minnesota. SUBJECTS. Family medicine speci

In order to mimic dinuclear active sites of some non-heme diiron proteins, ten new polydentate and potentially dinucleating ligands have been synthesized. Each ligand contains a carboxylate moiety designed to bridge two metal atoms. These central carboxylate moieties are derived from substituted benzoic acids that in turn are linked to terminal nitrogen or oxygen donors by spacers so that framewor

The research applies media discourse analysis and late modernity theory to the social construction of the transnational Oresund Region between the South of Sweden and East of Denmark. Based on interviews with PR sources and journalists, analysis of newspaper texts and opinion polls, the study found that despite trans-national aims the region is mainly constructed through Swedish or Danish national

Abstract The effects of defects at the steel-concrete interface, the exposure regime, and the cement type, on the initiation of pitting corrosion in specially designed concrete corrosion cells were investigated. Concrete/mortar corrosion cells with cast-in mild steel electrodes representing the reinforcement were exposed for wetting-drying cycles or submerged in NaCl solution. ParalIei field expos

The human genome sequence encodes fewer proteins than expected, suggesting that one protein can have several functions and adjust their structure to meet different structural demands. Changes in tertiary structure have mostly been associated with disease and the most striking example is the prion protein, which changes from a mixed alpha-helical and beta-sheet conformation to the beta-sheet rich,
