In the production of ethanol from lignocellulosic material, it is necessary to reach a high ethanol concentration after fermentation. Simply increasing the substrate concentration leads to stirring problems and inhibition of the enzymes and yeast in the process. Batch simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) of steam-pretreated spruce with 13.7% water-insoluble solids (WIS) (25% total
To examine risk of malignancy and death in patients with kidney transplant who receive the immunosuppressive drug sirolimus.
Aqueous dispersions of pure sodium and calcium smectite clays with platelet sizes on the order of a few hundred nanometers were characterized using a combination of cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). With monovalent sodium counterions the clay is dispersed as individual platelets, as seen by cryo-TEM, that order into a nematic phase. From SAXS
We present inverse modelling (top down) estimates of European methane (CH4) emissions for 2006–2012 based on a new quality-controlled and harmonised in situ data set from 18 European atmospheric monitoring stations. We applied an ensemble of seven inverse models and performed four inversion experiments, investigating the impact of different sets of stations and the use of a priori information on e
Deoxyadenosine kinase from Dictyostelium discoideum (DddAK) phosphorylates its natural substrate (2’-deoxyadenosine, dAdo) as well as the arabinosyladenine analogues vidarabine (araA) and fludarabine (F-araA) to their corresponding 5’-monophosphates. DddAK has been here immobilized by ionic interaction on an aminated epoxy-functionalized support (SepabeadsTM EC-EP), and cross-linked with oxidized
Långvarig smärta är ett vanligt förekommande och tärande tillstånd som är bland de mest kostsamma hälsoproblemen för både individen och samhället som helhet. Kognitiv beteendeterapi (KBT) är den mest spridda psykologiska behandlingen för långvarig smärta. Även om metoden är evidensbaserad och rekommenderad ger den relativt blygsamma förbättringar för smärtrelaterad funktion och medföljande emotionChronic pain is a commonly occurring and debilitating condition, and among the costliest health problems for both the individual and society at large. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is the most widely-disseminated psychological treatment for chronic pain. Even though it is recommended and evidence-based, it yields quite modest improvements in pain-related functioning and accompanying symptoms
There are two main routes for customers of industrialized house building to follow: either rigid platforms offering preconfigured products, often called ‘type houses’, or more flexible platforms open to customization. The problem in customization is to link customer requirements with system opportunities. In axiomatic design processes, this problem is understood as the transformation of customer rThere are two main routes for customers of industrialized house building to follow: either rigid platforms offering preconfigured products, often called ‘type houses’, or more flexible platforms open to customization.

Phylogenetic analyses were carried out on 23 samples representing 10 cetrarioid taxa from Europe and North America, representing 10 cetrarioid taxa; they were compared in parsimony analyses. The study is focused on ITS sequences of the ribosomal DNA. Intervening sequences, most likely representing group I introns, were found in four taxa. The results from the phylogenetic analysis are congruent wi
We discuss resonance-enhanced two-photon ionization (RETPI) and presentschemes of successive RETPI of the elements C, N, and O in nebulae.RETPI is activated by intrinsic radiation stored in the form of trappedspectral lines of HI, HeI, and HeII in the optically thick nebula. Therate of this two-step photoionization is comparable with or exceeds thelow recombination rate of the photoions formed in
Methacrylate-functionalized poly(ethylene oxide-co-ethylene carbonate) macromonomers were prepared in two steps by the anionic ring-opening polymerization of ethylene carbonate at 180 °C, with potassium methoxide as the initiator, followed by the reaction of the terminal hydroxyl groups of the polymers with methacryloyl chloride. The molecular weight of the polymer went through a maximum after app
With the introduction of mammographic screening the incidence of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) has increased to 10-15% of all breast cancers. The aim of this study was to investigate whether there were any morphological and cell biological differences between DCIS detected during the pre-screening (n = 39) as opposed to the screening period (n = 120). We could not demonstrate any statistically s
This article examines the genetic relationships among 34 MSS suspected of being related because of a peculiar shared reading in John 8:8b-9a: "he wrote on the ground the sins of each..." A quantitative analysis detected several independent families, including new family P members and a dozen MSS forming "family Patmos/M;" this family, in turn, includes the original Patmos family discovered by Silv
Serum and urinary concentrations of NCl, the non collagenous globular domain of collagen IV, were used as markers for turnover of basement membranes. NCl levels were studied in membranous glomerulonephritis and diabetic nephropathy. Thirteen patients with membranous glomerulonephritis and 8 insulin-dependent diabetic patients with diabetic nephropathy were compared to 16 apparently healthy control
Effects of topology, length, and charge on peptide interactions with lipid bilayers was investigated for variants of the human kininogen-derived peptide HKH20 (HKHGHGHGKHKNKGKKNGKH) by ellipsometry, CD, fluorescence spectroscopy, and z-potential measurements. The peptides display primarily random coil conformation in buffer and at lipid bilayers, and their lipid interaction is dominated by electro
Popular Abstract in Swedish Proteiner är helt nödvändiga för alla former av liv på jorden. En typisk cell består till 50-60 % av proteiner, om man bortser från vatten. Det är ett protein, hemoglobin, som transporterar syre från lungorna till kroppens celler och ger blodet dess röda färg. Det är ett protein, alfa- keratin, som bygger upp vårt hår och våra naglar. Det är två proteiner, aktin och myoProtein S is a modular protein and a cofactor in the protein C anticoagulant system. It consists of a Gla-module, a thrombin-sensitive loop, four EGF-modules and a SHBG-like module. Protein S has previously been shown to contain four binding sites with high affinities for Ca2+ (Ka>9x105 M-1 at physiological ionic strength) and at least one of the sites h
