The captive bubble method was used to describe the wetting characteristics of a number of commercial ultrafiltration (UF) membranes. The membranes belonged to one of two homologous (same material, different cut-off) series made by the same manufacturer. One series was made of polysulphone and the other one of cellulose triacetate. The porosimetric characteristics of the membranes have also been me

The adsorption of β-lactoglobulin to stainless steel and its subsequent removal were followed using in situ null ellipsometry. The influence of the surface pretreatment on the protein removal by the surfactant SDS and by sodium hydroxide was studied. All surfaces were precleaned in strongly alkaline solution. Some surfaces received no further pretreatment, while others were either passivated in ni

A description of general models for adsorption kinetics is given. Combinations of the models are compared with adsorption data for the self-associating proteins β-lactoglobulin A and B, from Elofssonet al.(U. M. Elofsson, M. A. Paulsson, and T. Arnebrant,Langmuir,submitted). The adsorption onto methylated silica surfaces was measured by these authors by ellipsometry in phosphate buffer (0.01M,pH 7

HAMLET (human alpha-lactalbumin made lethal to tumor cells) is a protein-lipid complex from human milk with both tumoricidal and bactericidal activities. HAMLET exerts a rather specific bactericidal activity against some respiratory pathogens, with highest activity against Streptococcus pneumoniae, but lacks activity against most other bacterial pathogens, including Staphylococci. Still, ion trans

The concepts of target efficiency can be used to assess the extent to which service provision is in line with the needs of the population. Horizontaltarget efficiency denotes the extent to which those deemed to need a service receive it and vertical target efficiency is the corresponding extent to which those who receive services actually need them. The aim of this study was to assess the target e

In this paper, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and soot formation in rich partially premixed flames and nonpremixed flames were studied using a blend of n-heptane and toluene. The flames were diluted with Ar, N2, and CO2 to control the flame temperature. Laser-induced fluorescence, laser-induced incandescence, and two-color pyrometry were used to study the effects of flame temperature on t

In this paper it is hypothesized that the spatial locations of objects both in a verbal description and from a complex picture are reflected in the eye movements during a visualization of these objects. In four experiments, eye movements were recorded while test subjects recalled objects that were either previously observed in a complex picture or presented in a verbal description. In both cases,

The expansion of biotechnology applied to agriculture has drastically changed traditional farming in recent decades. New plant varieties and techniques developed by life-science corporations guarantee more efficiency than traditional methods at relatively low costs. This feature resulted in many biotech creations (such as GM plants) being rapidly adopted by countries with agriculture-based economi

The ICTY and the ICTR were established in the 1990s to determine individual accountability for mass atrocities. The tribunals have had a great impact on the development of international criminal law, yet their effects in the concerned societies have been disputed. As the courts are located outside the territory in which the crimes took place, and are composed of international lawyers and personnel

The effect from mechanical-biological pre-treatment (MBT) of wastes in Sweden and Germany has been studied. The organic matter and biological activities were studied and compared. Other parameters such as heavy metals and nutrients were examined and related to the organic matter. The effect of low water content on degradation was investigated and the relevant legislation in the two countries was s

Objectives We examined to what degree annoyance ratings to noise, air pollution and other common environmental factors in the home environment could be considered to mirror personality disposition in terms of habitual anxiety level and, when appropriate, objectively modeled noise and nitrogen emission (NOx). Methods A trait anxiety scale was introduced in a cross-sectional public health survey wit

In colostrum collected 0-80 h postpartum the contents of immunoglobulins (Igs), transforming growth factor beta-2 (TGF-beta2), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and growth hormone (GH) were analysed. Colostrum initially contained 90 mg mL(-1) IgG1, 2.8 mg mL(-1) IgG2, 1.6 mg mL(-1) IgA, 4.5 mg mL(-1) IgM, and these concentrations declined by 92%, 87%, 93% and 84%, respectively, in the samples c

Texture of potatoes with different shapes (slices and strips) were evaluated after frying and in some cases after baking. Blanched and unblanched potato slices (Bintje variety) were fried at four oil temperatures: 160, 170, 180 and 190C until reaching a moisture content of similar to1.7%. A puncture test with three point support for the slices was applied to measure the texture of potato chips usi

The pineal organ is the only differentiated photoreceptor organ present in embryos and early larvae of the Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus). We investigated the molecular identity of opsins in the pineal organ, and their expression during different life stages. Using RT-PCR we identified two 681-bp gene sequences, named HPO1 and HPO4, in cDNA from adult pineal and whole embryos. The pr
