A measurement of angular correlations in Drell-Yan lepton pairs via the phi(eta)* observable is presented. This variable probes the same physics as the Z/gamma* boson transverse momentum with a better experimental resolution. The Z/gamma* -> e(+)e(-) and Z/gamma* -> mu(+)mu(-) decays produced in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of root s = 7 TeV are used. The data were collected
Phosphorylation of estrogen receptor alpha at serine 305 (ER alpha S305-P) by protein kinase A (PKA) or p21-activated kinase 1 (PAK1) has experimentally been associated with tamoxifen sensitivity. Here, we investigated the clinical application of this knowledge to predict tamoxifen resistance in ER-positive breast cancer patients. Using immunohistochemistry, a score including PAK1 and co-expressio
BackgroundFood habits, nutrient needs and intakes differ between males and females, although few nutritional studies on patients with coeliac disease (CD) have reported results stratified by gender. ObjectivesTo compare energy and nutrient intakes among 13-year olds diagnosed with CD in early childhood with those of a non-coeliac (NC) age- and gender-matched control group, and also with estimated
The current study examines the effects of a computerised Working Memory (WM) intervention in elementary school children when training in groups of various sizes. It further examines the effects of noise during the performance of WM tasks. The children included were 7 - 9 years old and were randomly assigned to control and training groups based on Raven's scores. Results showed an improvement o
Ever since the nation-state has existed identity has been a big deal, it is told that identity is a tool needed to be able to receive consensus from the people concerned on a certain matter. As the European Union is continuously shaped and reshaped due to changing geographical borders, as a consequence of new member-states the aim to integrate the Union equally across its surface has not been an e
The most noticeable common weakness found in Thai SMEs' operations are; (1.) weak costing system and, (2.) unhealthy management system. Fierce competition drives Thai SMEs to strike for continuous improvement. In the war of pricing, market price automatically sets ceiling price for businesses, supply surplus leads customers to choose the most quality product (expected quality at less money spe
Aerial spraying is common procedure at banana plantations in Costa Rica even though the plantations often are situated very close to villages. The fungicide Mancozeb, which is metabolized into the more toxic substance ETU, is one of the pesticides used in aerial sprayings. This thesis has evaluated the exposure of ETU to children living in one of these villages and compared that exposure to differ
Exploratory testing (ET) is a test technique used to test software. It is a free way (compared to scripted test) of testing, where the tester takes notes during the test session. The tester has the option to select his own way when testing the software, he learns and tests at the same time. Notes are the result from the test session and are used to see what has been tested, e.g. the outcome and th
Sammanfattning Modern teknologi har medfört helt nya möjligheter för museum att nå ut till en global marknad. Museum har tagit sig an omfattande digitaliseringsprojekt och lanserar numera sina konstkollektioner online. Digitaliseringen omfattar även konstverk som tillhör public domain, vilket betyder att vem som helst är tillåten att mångfaldiga och sprida verken. Problematik uppstår när museum häSummary Modern technology offer entirely new possibilities for museums to reach out on a global market. Museums have undertaken far-reaching mass digitisation projects of their art collections and have established online collections. The digitisation comprises both copyrighted and public domain works of art. Public domain works of art are free for everyone to distribute and reproduce. Problems ari
Denna uppsats behandlar svenska advokaters tystnadsplikt utifrån ett kritiskt och advokatideologiskt perspektiv. Uppsatsen redogör för vilka dessa advokatideologier är, vilka argument de grundas på och vilken effekt ideologierna har för tystnadsplikten. Uppsatsen redogör för tystnadspliktens syfte, dess aktualiserande och dess olika motstående intressen. Uppsatsen redogör även för de lagar och re
Syfte: Det som uppsatsen vill klarlägga är hur företag sätter sina diskonteringsräntor, om det finns korrelation mellan bolagens verkliga resultat och/eller goodwillpostens relativa storlek och om detta beror på opportunistiskt tänkande i bestämmandet av denna ganska väsentliga parameter. Metod: Med syftet som utgångspunkt har en kvantitativ metod valts. Data har samlats in från främst företagensPurpose: The paper sets out to research how companies determine their discount rate, if there’s correlation between companies’ profitability and/or the goodwill relative size and if it therefore can be established if there’s an opportunistic way of thinking when choosing the discount rate. Methodology: With the purpose as a starting point, a quantitative method has been chosen. Data has been gat
From being primarily associated with the political climate of the United States, pluralism as a political mind-set with its focus on interest groups as important political entities has become increasingly descriptive of the European Union as well. Seeking to investigate the theoretical aspects of pluralism, the purpose of this essay is to analyse and discuss whether the European setting might have
Mesozoikum anses ha utgjort en ”växthusperiod” i Jordens historia med avsevärt höga koldiox-idhalter i atmosfären samt förhöjda temperaturer, men det återstår många frågor att besvara angående klimatut-vecklingen för hela detta intervall. Tidig jura karaktäriseras till exempel av ett varmt klimat, och föregås och efter-följs av två kortare perioder med väldigt höga CO2 halter, som sammanfaller medThe Mesozoic was a so-called “hothouse” time period in Earth’s history, with high concentrations of atmospheric CO2 and elevated temperatures, but the exact climate evolution is not fully known for the entire inter-val. The Early Jurassic for instance is believed to have been a warm period, flanked by two episodes of extremely high CO2, coinciding with environmental degradation and mass extinction
Our aim for this essay was to examine, with the method of a discourse analysis, how the best interest of the child is constructed in the political debate on the issue of single women’s right to use artificial insemination. The questions we asked ourselves were: Where do the political parties stand on the issue of single women’s right to use artificial insemination? How is the best interest of the
