Myelin-sensitive quantitative (q) MRI techniques including MT (3D FLASH) and DTI (single-shot STEAM) are of growing importance to study white matter (WM) disorders in childhood. Cerebral folate transport deficiency is an inherited, treatable WM disorder with hypomyelination, developmental regression, movement disturbances, and epilepsy. One patient with this diagnosis and severe phenotype was trea

Artikeln ger en sammanfattning av IUPAC:s rekommendationer år 1994 för namnen på de nya grundämnena 101-109, de s.k. transfermierna. Rekommendationerna publiceras senare under 2014 i Pure and Applied Chemistry, Vol 66 Nr 12. Dessa rekommendationer skall under år 1995 ytterligare granskas/ratificeras av IUPACs Council, vilket slutligen kan resultera i ändringar eller omflyttningar.

The last five years of unfolding political unrest in Egypt and beyond has urged research to explore activism beyond civil society and NGO-work in the region. This has generated a turn towards social movement theory (SMT) which has revealed both the limits and possibilities of SMT when applied to different sites of the Arab world (Akder 2013, Durac 2015, Tadros 2011). While the dominant focus has b

Objective: To validate the prediction model for successful vaginal birth after cesarean delivery (VBAC) based on variables easily obtainable at the first antenatal visit, in a Spanish population. Methods: Retrospective observational study. Women with a single live fetus in cephalic presentation with one previous low-transverse CD who underwent trial of labor after cesarean delivery (TOLAC) at ≥37

Background and purpose — The annual number of total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) has increased worldwide in recent years. To make projections regarding future needs for primaries and revisions, additional knowledge is important. We analyzed and compared the incidences among 4 Nordic countries Patients and methods — Using Nordic Arthroplasty Register Association (NARA) data from 4 countries, we analy

Band gap engineering in hydrogen functionalized graphene is demonstrated by changing the symmetry of the functionalization structures. Small differences in hydrogen adsorbate binding energies on graphene on Ir(111) allow tailoring of highly periodic functionalization structures favoring one distinct region of the moiré supercell. Scanning tunneling microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy m

Structural interactions between the endoplasmic reticular (ER) and mitochondrial membranes, in domains known as mitochondria-associated membranes (MAM), are crucial hubs for cellular signaling and cell fate. Particularly, these inter-organelle contact sites allow the transfer of calcium from the ER to mitochondria through the voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC)/glucose-regulated protein 75 (GRP

Current paper presents the results of investigating of multifunctional Ti-Si-N coatings. Ti-Si-N coatings have been deposited using CAVD method with the aim of studying their chemical, physical, structural and mechanical properties. Coatings of Ti-Si-N were modified by high-intensity ion implantation using copper ions with dose D = 2 × 1017 ions/cm2 and energy E = 60 keV. The results demonstrated

The impedance bandwidth of a small antenna is a critical design parameter. In the present paper, we present stored energies which can be used as a tool to predict the largest possible bandwidth for antenna designs within a given region. These predictions are given in terms of the best possible Q-factor that can be attained within the region. The here presented energies are valid for structures tha

The thesis aims to compare two approaches to psychosocial rehabilitation – day centres and clubhouses – and to explore if either appears better suited to support people in mental health recovery. The recovery focus is on opportunities for engaging in meaningful daily occupations, accessibility to social interaction and factors pertaining to perceived health and well-being. The thesis consists of f

Pervaporation is a membrane separation process with considerable innovative possibilities in the area of biotechnology. Above all, the combination of bioreactor and pervaporation has potential in the longer term as an alternative to conventional batch processes. This article considers the state of the art of pervaporation/bioreactor hybrid processes. The possible applications of such hybrid proces

Pervaporation is one of the developing membrane technologies that can be used for various industrial applications but for a predefined task, the optimal process design is unlikely to consist solely of pervaporation. Often the optimised solution becomes a hybrid process combining pervaporation with one or more other separation technologies. A distinction will be made between hybrid and integrated p

Among the different membrane processes, organophilic pervaporation is one of the most promising technologies for environmental applications. The aim of this paper is to give a thorough introduction to organophilic pervaporation in the context of wastewater treatment. The emerging process of organophilic pervaporation is introduced together with other membrane processes relevant for environmental a

The opportunity of integrating pervaporation within the concept of waste water treatment to recover organic compounds has been widely recognized. Within this paper a process simulation is developed as a design tool to analyse and optimize the process of hydrophobic pervaporation. In the simulation the mass transfer through the membrane and concentration boundary layer are described using a resista

In this study, the feasibility of combining pervaporation with adsorption in a hybrid process to recover phenol from wastewater is analyzed with the technical aspects and the cost of the processes taken into account. The pervaporation unit in the hybrid process is combined with a decanter on the permeate side and an adsorption unit on the retentate side. Two modes of regeneration, steam and heat,
