This paper presents a search for the t-channel exchange of an R-parity violating scalar top quark ((t) over tilde) in the e(+/-)mu(-/+) continuum using 2.1 fb(-1) of data collected by the ATLAS detector in root s = 7 TeV pp collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. Data are found to be consistent with the expectation from the Standard Model backgrounds. Limits on R-parity-violating couplings at 95
The Ebola virus (EBOV) RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) complex consists of the catalytic subunit of the polymerase, L, and its cofactor VP35. Using immunofluorescence analysis and coimmunoprecipitation assays, we mapped the VP35 binding site on L. A core binding domain spanning amino acids 280-370 of L was sufficient to mediate weak interaction with VP35, while the entire N-terminus up to amin
Background & Aims: Assess the prevalence of peri-transplant heart failure and its potential relation to post-transplant morbidity and mortality. Methods: A retrospective study was performed on 234 consecutive cirrhotic patients undergoing liver transplantation in a single European center from 1999 to 2007 (mean age 52, 30% women, 36% with alcoholic liver disease, 24% with viral hepatitis, 18%
In this chapter, the author analyses a new Swedish curriculum for schools that was presented in 2011 and came into effect the same year. Basically the focus in the subject of music is on playing music, creating music, and listening to music. But key citations within the subject of music show a return to some ideas from the beginning of the 20th century regarding nationalism, a Nordic ethnocentric
A simple, rapid and environmentally friendly hollow-fibre liquid-phase microextraction (HF-LPME) technique was developed for the quantitative determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in aqueous samples. GC-MS was then used as the method of analysis. The HF-LPME technique involves extraction of PAHs from a 20-mL sample containing 20 % acetonitrile as a modifier. The PAHs were extrac
This thesis aims to gain a better understanding of the modern subjugation of nature and women in the United States, by looking at the recent history of the Environmental Justice Movement (nature) and Reproductive Justice Movement (women). Through examining the history of these movements and relevant politics from 1970 to present day, events can be analyzed to shed light on the current political si
The aim of this study was to examine what people working closely with clients for non-profit organizations (NPOs) in Skåne and Cape Town think about conditions and challenges in regard to the organizations’ operation. The focus is on organizations working with substance abuse. We have had seven semi-structured interviews with people who work closely with clients in the organization. Three of them
The EU's Common Foreign and Security Policy has been described as flawed or even non-existing by many critics due to its intergovernmentalist nature. One of the latest incidents illustrating the CFSP's malfunction came about in 2003 after the US decided to engage in a war against Iraq. The failure of the EU to generate a unified stance regarding the decision on how to act in Iraq was put f
Double taxation has been widely accepted that constitutes an obstacle to the functioning of the single market. The European Union has adopted some uniform measures to have double taxation eliminated, for example, the Parent-Subsidiary Directive and the Interest-Royalty Directive. In addition, the Arbitration Convention has been concluded between Member States to eliminate double taxation in respec
Current advances in Deep Learning have shown significant improvements in common Machine Learning applications such as image, speech and text recognition. Specifically, in order to process time series, deep Neural Networks (NNs) with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) units are widely used in sequence recognition problems to store recent information and to use it for future predictions. The efficiency i
Nowadays, very few public services could be delivered by only one department or organization. In order to deal with those "wicked" issues, like transportation, housing, environmental protection, food safety or some other problems, collaboration between departments has been a need. Meanwhile, cross-departmental collaboration has been proved to be an important means for governance, which h
This report is a result of a Master Thesis in Mechanical Engineering with Product Development at the Faculty of Engineering, Lund University. The Master Thesis was performed during the spring of 2012 at Frankly Development in Malmö. Frankly is Product Creation Company with great knowledge in developing consumer electronics, sports equipment and other type of products. The thesis was initiated by C
Liquid biopsy allows assessment of multiple analytes, providing temporal information with potential for improving understanding of cancer evolution and clinical management of patients. Although liquid biopsies are intensely investigated for prediction and response monitoring, preanalytic variables are of primary concern for clinical implementation, including categories of collection method and sam
Background: Sportsman's hernia/athletic pubalgia is a recognized cause of chronic groin pain in athletes. Both open and laparoscopic surgical repairs have been described for treatment, but there are no comparative studies. The hypothesis here was that relief of pain would be achieved earlier in patients treated with open minimal suture repair than totally extraperitoneal repair. Methods: A randomi
BACKGROUND: Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the most common early onset disabilities globally. The causative brain damage in CP is nonprogressive, yet secondary conditions develop and worsen over time. Individuals with CP in Sweden and most of the Nordic countries are systematically followed in the national registry and follow-up program entitled the Cerebral Palsy Follow-Up Program (CPUP). CPUP has
Many strategies have been proposed to support the transition to a Circular Economy (CE). In most cases, circular design and product life-extension practices specify repair as an essential element. In both the EU and the U.S., policymakers are attempting to increase the amount of repairs made, through the introduction of recent EU Ecodesign regulation changes and proposed US Right to Repair legisla
