A dynamic beam system loaded harmonically in the axial direction and constrained in the transverse direction is modelled using different theoretical descriptions. Results from an experimental set-up are compared to calculations using Bernoulli as well as Timoshenko beam theories. Some results from investigations of this beam system unveiling its chaotic nature have earlier been presented, but here

Women younger than 50 have a lower age-specific incidence of CVD than men. With advancing age this difference gradually disappears. These well-established facts provide the rationale for numerous primary and a few secondary intervention studies with ERT. With increasing sophistication and longer observation periods, both case-control and cohort studies agree on a cardioprotective effect by estroge

The present work is a contribution to the study of Christian Arabic literature. An apologetic treatise on the unity and trinity of God incorrectly attributed to Yahya ibn Adi (d. 974) is edited for the very first time and provided with a comprehensive word index. The edition is based on six manuscripts found in Egypt. Four of these manuscripts have so far not been known to scholarly research. The

A 5-year follow-up study of 476 type I adult diabetic patients previously studied cross sectionally revealed that, during the observation period, 19 patients died and 30 developed cardiovascular or renal disease, such as myocardial infarction (n = 8), cerebrovascular disease (n = 3), amputation (n = 6), and renal insufficiency (n = 13). The patients were registered by one and the most-severe event

The fermentability of indigestible carbohydrates and content of short-chain fatty acids along the hindgut of rats were investigated using plant materials of importance in the Swedish diet (instant potato powder, apples and oat flakes). Results with the composite food products were compared with commercial fibre fractions obtained from similar sources, ie potato fibre, apple pectin and beta-glucan-

Från titeln att bedöma -Livets Algoritm - kan man tänka sig att Fernando Flores' bok är en strikt vetenskaplig sådan. Detta första intryck förstärkes ytterligare när man läser underrubriken: "Moderna teorier om biologins metod och väsen." Men trots att boken faktiskt bygger på vetenskapliga grunder, är det huvudsakligen fråga om ett filo-sofiskt verk. Och när vi säger "huvudsakligen", tänker vi på
