Myanmar is endowed with abundant Sn-W mineralization, pre-eminent amongst which is the world-class Mawchi deposit. In the Mawchi area, N-S trending vertical or steeply dipping quartz veins are hosted by both Eocene granite and Carboniferous to Early Permian metasediments. Three stages of ore formation are recognized; (i) tourmaline-cassiterite stage (ii) main ore stage and (iii) sulfide stage. Tou
Scanning Laue microdiffraction was used to study the evolution of the microstructure and the stress field around two tin whiskers during ageing for up to 21 months. In the heterogeneous stress fields obtained, localised ridges of high compressive stress leading to the root of the whiskers were found. Due to the evolution of the intermetallic compound in the interface between the copper substrate a
Non-coagulating milk is a serious problem in the cheese industry, since it decreases cheese yield, resulting in decreased economic output. This study evaluated rennet-induced coagulation properties and composition of milk from individual Swedish Red Dairy Cattle. Milk samples from 679 individual cows were rheologically evaluated, of which 18
Large eddy simulations of a baffled reactor stirred with a single Rushton turbine were performed. The turbine was positioned at mid-height in the reactor. The unsteady spatially filtered incompressible Navier–Stokes equations have been solved numerically. These large eddy simulations (LES) provide details of the flow field that cannot be obtained with the so-called Reynolds averaged equations and
Laminar burning velocities of syngas/air premixed flames, varying with H2/CO ratio (from 5/95 to 75/25) and N2 or CO2 dilution rate (from 0% to 60%), were accurately measured using a Teflon coated Heat Flux burner and OH-PLIF based Bunsen flame method. Experiments were carried out at atmospheric pressure and room temperature, with fuel/air equivalence ratios ranging from fuel-lean to fuel-rich. Co
Regime shifts in lake ecosystems can occur in response to both abrupt and continuous climate change, and the imprints they leave in paleolimnological records allow us to investigate and better understand patterns and processes governing ecological changes on geological time scales. This synthesis investigates paleolimnological records that display apparent regime shifts and characterizes the shift
The aim of this work was to study the effect of time between adrenaline injection and slaughter on the rate and extent of post-mortem metabolism in pig muscle. Five pigs were subcutaneously injected with adrenaline (0·3 mg/kg) or with a saline solution 4 h, 1 h or 15 min prior to slaughter. pH1, pHu and FOPu were measured in Longissimus dorsi (LD) and Biceps femoris (BF) muscles. m.LD samples were
Complex formation between Pd(H2O)42+ and Pt(H2O)42+ and the thioethers Me2S, Et2S, 1,4-dithiane, and 1,4-thioxane has been studied as a function of temperature (278-308 K) and pressure (0.1-200 MPa) by use of stopped-flow and conventional spectrophotometry in an aqueous 1.00 M perchloric acid medium. The rate constants k1 for complex formation are similar for the four thioethers, varying only betw
Complete wetting is crucial for efficient recombination of powders. On the powder bed scale, wetting is governed solely by capillary forces and the resistance to flow, i.e. spontaneous imbibition. Slow or incomplete imbibition of the powder bed may lead to gelling of the liquid front, which will stop the recombination process and cause the formation of lumps, which is usually undesirable. In this
Release and cellular contents of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, neutrophilic elastase and secretory leukocyte proteinase inhibitor (SLPI) were measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in peripheral blood mono- and polymorphonuclear cells stimulated with preopsonized yeast cells or lipopolysaccharide. Tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) was also measured with a bioassay. TNFα producti
BACKGROUND: Suggestive interventions such as hypnosis and therapeutic suggestions are frequently used to alleviate surgical side effects; however, the effectiveness of therapeutic suggestion intervention has not yet been systematically evaluated. In the present study, we tested the hypotheses that (1) suggestive interventions are useful for reducing postoperative side effects; (2) therapeutic sugg
In this study, we analysed the agonist-promoted trafficking of human B2 (B2R) and B1(B1R) bradykinin (BK) receptors using wild-type and green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged receptors in HEK293 cells. B2R was sequestered to a major extent upon exposure to BK, as determined by the loss of cell-surface B2R using radioligand binding and by imaging of B2R-GFP using laser-scanning confocal fluorescenc
Den aktuella avhandlingen härrör ur forskningsinsatser inom klinikerna för onkologi och ortopedi vid Universitetssjukhuset i Lund, och behandlar vad som ursprungligen verkade vara två skilda ämnen.Ena ämnet behandlar epidemiologin för mjukdelssarkom hos vuxna (MDS), en grupp av ofta dödliga sjukdomar av okänd orsak, som behandlas av både onkologer och ortopeder. Här har den historiska oförmågan at
We documented the annual cycle of the carbon isotopic composition of dissolved inorganic carbon (δ13CDIC) in the water columns of the Skagerrak and Baltic Sea to obtain an increased understanding of the processes involved controlling the carbon isotopic distribution in shelf seas. The lowest δ13CDIC values (-4.9‰) were found in the low-oxygen, brackish Baltic bottom water whereas the highest value
