Casein (CN) micelles are naturally occurring colloidal protein aggregates present in a dispersed state in milk. In this paper we aim to obtain a detailed description of physicochemical properties of CN micelles over the entire size distribution using asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation (AsFlFFF) connected to multiangle light scattering (MALS) and refractive index (RI) detection. Conclusions
Pike Esox lucius in the absence of prey and conspecifics were shown to have the highest habitat-change activity during dusk and to decrease preference for complex habitats in turbid water. As the behaviours indicate routine responses in the absence of behavioural interactions, E. lucius spatio-temporal distributions should be directly affected and thereby more easily assessed and avoided by prey,
Scandinavia is considered a region with a low prevalence of antimicrobial resistance. However, the number dof multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria is increasing, including metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL)-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In this study MBL-producing P. aeruginosa isolates identified in Norway (n = 4) and Sweden (n = 9) from 1999 to 2007 were characterized. Two internationa
Direct measurements of heat balance (latent heat and sensible heat fluxes) by the eddy covariance method, undertaken in 1998-2000 and 2002-2004, are used to obtain information on the daily, seasonal, and annual dynamics of energy and mass exchange between the atmosphere and the typical ecosystems of Siberia (middle taiga pine forest, raised bog, and true four grass steppe with data for typical tun
The rheological properties of gels of hydrophobically modified potato starch (HMPot) and high amylopectin potato starch (HAPP) were studied by small deformation oscillatory rheometry. The hydrophobic modification consisted of octenyl succinate anhydride (OSA) chains grafted mainly on the amylopectin molecules. The theological behaviour of HMPot was different from the behaviour of native potato sta
Process-based models can be classified into: (a) terrestrial biogeochemical models (TBMs), which simulate fluxes of carbon, water and nitrogen coupled within terrestrial ecosystems, and (b) dynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs), which further couple these processes interactively with changes in slow ecosystem processes depending on resource competition, establishment, growth and mortality of di
Tissue factor (TF) has been implicated in the thrombotic complications seen during vascular rejection of allografts and may contribute to intimal hyperplasia in chronic allograft vasculopathy. Downregulation of endothelial TF expression post-transplantation could therefore be of therapeutic value. Lentivirus-mediated RNA interference was used in primary endothelial cells (EC) to investigate its ef
Terrestrial ecosystems sequester 2.1 Pg of atmospheric carbon annually. A large amount of the terrestrial sink is realized by forests. However, considerable uncertainties remain regarding the fate of this carbon over both short and long timescales. Relevant data to address these uncertainties are being collected at many sites around the world, but syntheses of these data are still sparse. To facil
Mid-infrared polarization spectroscopy (IRPS) and laser-induced fluorescence (IRLIF) have been applied for detection of methane and ethane in atmospheric pressure cold flows and flames. Lines belonging to the asymmetric C-H stretching vibration bands v3 and v7 for methane and ethane, respectively, were probed with a tunable infrared laser beam at about 3.4 μm, which was obtai
We compare assimilation and respiration rates, and water use strategies in four divergent ecosystems located in cold-continental central Siberia and in semi-arid southern Africa. These seemingly unrelated systems have in common a harsh and highly seasonal environment with a very sharp transition between the dormant and the active season, with vegetation facing dry air and soil conditions for at le
Statistical downscaling models for precipitation in Scania, southern Sweden, have been developed and applied to calculate the changes in the future Scanian precipitation climate due to projected changes in the atmospheric composition. The models are based on multiple linear regression, linking large-scale predictors at monthly time resolution to regional statistics of daily precipitation on a mont
Larsson PG, Bergstrom M. Forsum U, Jacobsson B, Strand A, Wolner-Hanssen P Bacterial vaginosis. Transmission, role in genital tract infection and pregnancy outcome: an enigma. APMIS 2005; 113:233-45. Whether bacterial vaginosis (BV) is acquired from an endogenous or an exogenous source is subject to controversy Despite findings of an association between sexual behaviour and BV some data indicate t
Phase behavior of aqueous amylopectin and beta-lactoglobulin system was studied using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Polysaccharide-protein mixtures were prepared at different concentrations and left for equilibration; afterwards their spectra were recorded and correlated using Partial Least Square analysis. Tertiary phase diagrams were built for the system at different equilibration tim

The effects on eating quality and meat quality of two different forms of post-slaughter treatment, performed in an abattoir, were studied in carriers and non-carriers of the RN− allele. Carcasses were subjected to rapid and slow chilling, and pelvic and Achilles suspension in a factorial experimental design. A temperature of 10 °C was achieved in the centre of M. longissimus dorsi (LD) within 3.5
Salt linkages, electrostatic effects, and modified water structure are important for the properties of gluten, wheat flour dough, and baking (Belitz et al 1986). These effects have been studied at various levels of salt concentration, pH, and ion strength (Doguchi and Hlynka 1967; Salovaara 1982; Kinsella and Hale 1984; Holmes and Hoseney 1987 Preston 1989; He et al 1992). Sodium chloride usually
Abstract in UndeterminedHistorically, the function of Arctic ecosystems in terms of cycles of nutrients and carbon has led to low levels of primary production and exchanges of energy, water and greenhouse gases have led to low local and regional cooling. Sequestration of carbon from atmospheric CO2, in extensive, cold organic soils and the high albedo from low, snow-covered vegetation have had imp
This thesis deals with the carbon balance in a subarctic landscape at different temporal and spatial scales. Its focus is mainly on the peatland and mountain birch forest (Betula pubescens ssp. czerepanovii) ecosystems within the Abisko area in northernmost Sweden. This is an area with a temperature close to the 0 OC mean annual isotherm. The area has during the last 30 years experienced a limited
