The paper's target is the historically influential betting interpretation of subjective probabilities due to Ramsey and de Finetti. While there are several classical and well-known objections to this interpretation, the paper focuses on just one fundamental problem: There is a sense in which degrees of belief cannot be interpreted as betting rates. The reasons differ in different cases, but there'
The contribution's main objective is the treatment of non-classical nonlinear thermoelasticity based on the approach of Green and Naghdi within the context of the material force method. Material forces have proven to be well suited for the examination of defect mechanics and have become a very powerful and active research topic over the last decades. The numerical realization is based on finite el
Plasmid pLALA was constructed for glycerol or glycerol-3-phosphate inducible plasmid-borne gene expression in Bacillus subtilis and closely related Gram-positive bacteria. Gene expression using pLALA is based on anti-termination of transcription and involves the B. subtilis GlpP protein that in the presence of glycerol-3-phosphate acts as an anti-terminator protein by binding to the 5'-untranslate
Realistic Multiple-Input Multiple-Outout (MIMO) radio channel models are required in order to make fair system comparisons and to design proper signal processing algorithms using this technology. This technical report presents a full parameterization of the COST 2100 MIMO channel model for peer-to-peer communication in the 300 MHz band. Measurements were carried out in a semi-rural and suburban en
We have studied the ultrathin aluminum oxide film on NiAl(110) by a combination of high-resolution core-level spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations. Energy-dependent core-level data from the O 1s and Al 2p levels allows for a distinction between oxygen and aluminum atoms residing at the surface or inside the aluminum oxide film. A comparison to calculated core-level binding energ
Efter införande av Hälsoval Skåne har andelen av befolkningen som besökt allmänläkare ökat, liksom antalet besök per invånare. Ökningarna är överlag måttliga, med undantag för äldre män med lägre inkomst, där ökningen är större.Det finns också en minskning av besöken till övriga specialistläkare så att det totala antalet läkarbesök per invånare minskat i vissa grupper. Färre besök hos övriga speci
Diabetic maculopathy and retinal detachment, especially involving macula, are potentially sight-threatening conditions. Previous evaluations of retinal function, and treatment of these conditions have been subjective methods depending on the examiner or the collaboration with the examined patient. Retinal structure has been based on the subjective evaluation of the ophthalmologist. Development of
Background: The global gene regulator Special AT-rich sequence-binding protein1 (SATB1) has been reported to reprogramme tumour cells into a more malignant phenotype and associate with poor clinical outcome in several cancer forms. In this study, we investigated the molecular correlates and prognostic impact of SATB1 expression in human epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Findings: Immunohistochemica
Abstract in German Die Parkinson-Krankheit („Parkinson”) ist eine neurodegenerative Erkrankung die durch den Verlust von Dopamin-produzierenden Nervenzellen in der Substantia Nigra und daraus resultierenden, typischen motorischen Symptomen gekennzeichnet ist. Die Standardbehandlung für Parkinson ist die Gabe von L-DOPA, zum Zweck der Ersetzung des verlorengegangen Dopamins. Eine Langzeittherapie mParkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by the loss of dopamine (DA) producing neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc), resulting in typical motor symptoms. DA replacement with L-DOPA is the standard therapy for PD. However, with treatment duration many patients face the severe treatment complication of L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID), constituting in ab
Beliefs in signals that reveal lies and truths are widespread. It is shown that such beliefs may be exploited strategically in signaling games of pure conflict of interest. Truth and lie detection is modeled by signals perceived by the receiver that are emitted with a probability contingent on the truth value of the sender's message. Truth or lie detection of this kind always shrinks the equilibri
Sensory evaluation was performed to investigate how size and concentration of small rye bran particles in a continuous phase with varying viscosity influence the sensory perception of grittiness. The threshold for the sensation of grittiness of rye bran particles in a starch gel, evaluated by triangular sensory tests, was very low. The particles were discerned at a concentration of 0.1-0.3%, despi
Urothelial carcinoma shows frequent amplifications at 6p22 and 1q21-24. The main target gene at 6p22 is believed to be E2F3, frequently co-amplified with CDKAL1 and SOX4. There are however reports on 6p22 amplifications that do not include E2F3. Previous analyses have identified frequent aberrations occurring at 1q21-24. However, due to complex rearrangements it has been difficult to identify spec
Abstract COPD is a major cause of chronic morbidity and mortality throughout the world. It is a preventable and treatable disease. Smoking is the most commonly encountered risk factor for COPD and the habit now unfortunately starts at earlier ages than before. There is a strong necessity to diagnose COPD in early stages before symptoms present themselves. MRI with hyperpolarized 3He using diffusio
Background: Migration is important for the metastatic capacity and thus for the malignancy of cancer cells. There is limited knowledge on regulatory factors that promote the migration of neuroblastoma cells. This study investigates the hypothesis that protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms regulate neuroblastoma cell motility. Methods: PKC isoforms were downregulated with siRNA or modulated with activato
This paper concerns mathematical modeling and computational fluid dynamics of back-shocking during hollow fibre ultrafiltration of dextran T500. In this paper we present a mathematical model based on first Principles, i.e., solving the Navier-Stokes equation along with the continuity equation for both the solute and the solvent. We investigate the validity of the estimate On the optimal back-shock
