Organometallic complexes containing terminal metal nitrides and phosphides are important synthetic reagents. Laser-ablated group 6 metal atoms react with NF3, PF3, and PCl3 to form the simple lowest energy N MF3, and P MX3 products following insertion and halogen transfer, with the exception of P CrF3, which is a higher energy species and is not observed. The E MX3 pnictide metal trihalide molecul
Nonsense mutations in FGF16 have recently been linked to X-linked recessive hand malformations with fusion between the fourth and the fifth metacarpals and hypoplasia of the fifth digit (MF4; MIM#309630). The purpose of this study was to perform careful clinical phenotyping and to define molecular mechanisms behind X-linked recessive MF4 in three unrelated families. We performed whole-exome sequen
Background: Hitherto, risk prediction models for preoperative ultrasound-based diagnosis of ovarian tumors were dichotomous (benign versus malignant). We develop and validate polytomous models (models that predict more than two events) to diagnose ovarian tumors as benign, borderline, primary invasive or metastatic invasive. The main focus is on how different types of models perform and compare. M
The Lymphedema Quality of Life Inventory (LQOLI) is an instrument developed for patients with different types of lymphedema. It contains physical, emotional, social, and practical dimensions and consists of 58 items, each with three sub items concerning life quality, daily life changes, and difficulties of changing and two items concerning life quality in general and in relation to lymphedema. The
1 We studied the effects of a thromboxane A2 receptor (TP receptor) antagonist, ICI-192,605 (0.5mgkg-', i.v.) and a selective thromboxane (Tx) synthetase inhibitor, OKY-046 (30mgkg-1, i.v.), on airway responses induced by leukotriene D4 (LTD4; 0.2 nmol) or prostaglandin F2a, (PGF2,; 20 nmol) instilled via the airways route to anaesthetized guinea-pigs. For a comparison, airway responses to a TxA2-
Introduction. The European Multiple System Atrophy-Study Group (EMSA-SG) is an academic network comprising 23 centers across Europe and Israel that has constituted itself already in January 1999. This international forum of established experts under the guidance of the University Hospital of Innsbruck as coordinating center is supported by the 5th framework program of the European Union since Marc
Popular Abstract in Swedish I hjärnan finns många olika typer av nervceller. De använder sig av olika signalsubstanser, kallade neurotransmittorer, för att kommunicera med andra nervceller. En viss typ av nervceller använder neurotransmittorn dopamin. Dopaminceller finns på många ställen i hjärnan men de flesta ligger i mellanhjärnan i ett par olika cellgrupper som var och en skickar signaler tillParkinsons disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder where dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra (SNc) in the mesencephalon are progressively eliminated. The ensuing loss of dopaminergic innervation of the basal ganglia manifests itself as severe motor deficits in PD patients. Clinical trials have shown that cell replacement therapy, where dopaminergic neuroblasts derived from fetal vent
This thesis explores how the handling, analysis and transformations of material and data affect the production of knowledge in an applied project of cultural analysis. It concerns itself mainly with the process of dislocation, transformation and transportation of meaning, by putting to work the actor-network theories of Bruno Latour. An attempt will be made to retrace the steps of creating materia
This paper models the dynamics of capital structure listed on the NYSE and NASDAQ during 1995 to 2010. The subsamples classified by given leverage level and specified periods of time are tested. The main contribution is that macroeconomic conditions and firm characteristics are incorporated regressed for non-linearity test. We provide the evidence of non-linear patterns among low leverage and high
Monte Carlo-simuleringar har fått en ökad betydelse som forskningsverktyg inom nuklearmedicinsk bildgivning eftersom man på ett mycket kontrollerat sätt kan studera nästan vad man vill. I denna studie har datorsimuleringar av ett PET-system gjorts med ett program som heter GATE. PET (Positron Emission Tomography) är en nuklearmedicinsk bildgivningsteknik som används mer och mer inom sjukvården sIntroduction: Monte Carlo simulation is a powerful tool in research in the field of nuclear medicine imaging and there is a wide area of applications. The purpose of this work was (1) to understand the basics of the Monte Carlo simulation software Geant4 Application for Tomographic Emission (GATE); (2) to create a model of Philips Gemini TF PET/CT system; (3) to run a number of simulations to comp
The effect of friction between the dowel and the surrounding timber was studied for single dowel-type joints. The joints tested were divided into two groups of joints, where the surface of the dowels differed. For the first group, the dowels had a smooth surface and for the second group the dowels had a rough surface. A contactfree measurement technique was used in the experimental investigatio
STUDY OBJECTIVES---To study geographical differences in diastolic blood pressure and the influence of the social environment (census percentage of people with low educational achievement) on individual diastolic blood pressure level, after controlling for individual age and educational achievement. To compare the results of multilevel and ecological analyses. DESIGN---Cross sectional analysis perf
Spray systems contain a large amount of small droplets, which are responsible for multiple light scattering phenomena.When detected, photons that have been scattered multiple times blur the shape of liquid bodies present in thespray as well as the overall spray structure. This blurring causes issues with spray visualization and furthermore;multiple light scattering introduces large errors in quant
This article draws on empirically derived illustrations of return to work and unemployment to critically explore how a narrow understanding of work pervades contemporary social policies and programmes. This is particularly relevant in economic and labour market transitions aligned with neoliberalism that individualise the social problem of unemployment and thus restrict occupational possibilities
BACKGROUND: Most cardioplegic solutions have been developed using the classic Langendorf heart perfusion model, which only allows a short experimental follow-up. Our aim was to investigate hearts after prolonged storage by using a physiologic model including prolonged perfusion with normal, fresh blood. METHODS: Sixteen hearts from 60-kg pigs were preserved with dextran-enriched (dextran-40, 35 g/
