Studies on the molecular mechanisms behind soft tissue sarcoma development have disclosed that these malignancies are as genetically heterogeneous as they are clinically and morphologically diverse. Much of the genetic information on soft tissue sarcomas is still limited to the genomic level, as detected by chromosome banding analysis or comparative genomic hybridization. Based on the results of s
Using 14 waves of panel data, this paper investigates why employees entering the primary sector exit subsequently. Transition probabilities are explained by a rich set of individual, regional and sectoral characteristics and a discrete-time competing risks model with unrestricted base-line hazards is used to distinguish between exits into a job in other sectors and other exits. The results confirm
This paper explores different syntactic variations and functional properties of clausal units that are initiated by the finite verb in Swedish. We focus on V1 constructions that are basically declarative in function, thus excluding interrogative, conditional and directive uses. Because V1 constructions, and particularly certain variants of them, are typical of spoken Swedish, our examples and
Recently, thermal manikins are frequently used for testing and product development by sports science and human excises field, by the building industry and by the automobile industry for evaluation of the performance of heating and ventilation systems. Multisegments thermal manikin “Newton” and onesegment thermal manikin “Walter” was described in the paper. The thermal insulation and moisture vapor
In this paper 3D electromagnetic simulations of an antenna array have been performed. The array is intended for automotive radar applications at 24 GHz. It is constructed from dipole antenna element patches, which are fed in the center by a differential signal. The dipole antenna element patches are simulated assuming a standard off the shelf substrate. They have a standing wave ratio less than 3

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to analyze whether the associations between perceived environmental and individual characteristics and perceived walking limitations in older people differ between those with intact and those with poorer lower extremity performance.METHOD: Persons aged 75 to 90 (N= 834) participated in interviews and performance tests in their homes. Standard questionnaires wer
This introductory chapter provides a non-technical presentation of conceptual spaces as a representational framework for modeling different kinds of similarity relations in various cognitive domains. Moreover, we briefly summarize each chapter in this volume.
An experimental culture system was designed with the purpose of studying matrix synthesis and cell proliferation in the deep flexor tendon of the rabbit fore-paw. Special attention was paid to differences between three consecutive defined segments of the tendon from the region of the tendon sheath. There were two fibrocartilaginous areas in the tendon, one in the dorsal part of the proximal segmen
Innovation is generally a combination of productive means that are internal and external to a firm. Some of the external resources can be obtained locally, but for some of them firms need to venture abroad. Arrangements to cooperate on innovation facilitate access to the external sources of knowledge. Using a large data set of firms in 12 countries from the third Community Innovation Survey, inclu
