The near-edge fine structure of the Fe2p and Si2p X-ray absorption spectra (NEXAFS) of iron-oxygen nanolayers on the surface of single-crystal silicon (100) was studied for the first time. The structure of the quasi-2D iron-oxygen nanosystems synthesized by molecular layering was considered on this basis.
The performance of an anaerobic digestion process is much dependent on the type and the composition of the material to be digested. The effects on the degradation process of co-digesting different types of waste were examined in two laboratory-scale studies. In the first investigation, sewage sludge was co-digested with industrial waste from potato processing. The co-digestion resulted in a low bu
Combretastatin A-4 disodiumphosphate (CA4P), a prodrug formulation of the natural product combretastatin A-4 (CA4), is currently in clinical investigation for the treatment of cancer. In vivo, CA4P is rapidly enzymatically converted to CA4, a potent inhibitor of tubulin polymerization (IC50 = 1-2 muM), and rapidly causes bloodflow shutdown in tumor tissues. A variety of alkyl and aryl di- and trie
The major myeloid blood cell lineages are generated from hematopoietic stem cells by differentiation through a series of increasingly committed progenitor cells. Precise characterization of intermediate progenitors is important for understanding fundamental differentiation processes and a variety of disease states, including leukemia. Here, we evaluated the functional in vitro and in vivo potentia
In the weedy plant species Allium vineale (wild garlic), individuals may simultaneously produce sexually and asexually derived offspring, by seed and bulbils, respectively. In this study, genetic and genotypic diversity was determined in samples from 14 European A. vineale populations using nuclear (RAPD) and cytoplasmic (PCR-RFLP of cpDNA) markers to investigate the importance of the different re
The southern section of the Mylonite Zone (MZ) is a major lithotectonic terrane boundary in the SW Baltic Shield. It separates the parautochthonous Eastern Segment of the Sveconorwegian orogen from the allochthonous Western Segment. Complex zircons in migmatised and banded orthogneisses along the southern MZ were investigated by ion microprobe analyses guided by backscattered electron imaging to d

The Strategic Systemic Thinking (SST) framework is presented as a stepping stone towards enabling the refocusing of organizational analysis in Information Systems (IS). The paper introduces some of the fundamental assumptions regarding the objectives of the SST framework; such as sense making as learning processes build upon communicative actions. The main concepts of the SST framework are present
The visual system of box jellyfish comprises a total of 24 eyes. These are of four types and each probably has a special function. To investigate this hypothesis the morphology and optics of the lesser eyes, the pit and slit eyes, were examined. The pit eyes hold one cell type only and are probably mere light meters. The slit eyes, comprising four cell types, are complex and highly asymmetric. The
Objective: To develop calculation models, using Western immunoblot, as a tool for the estimation of proteolytic human aggrecan fragment identity. Method. Seven human aggrecan fragments (calibrators), purified by CsCl gradient centrifugation and identified by Western immunoblot of N- and C-terminals, were used to develop calculation models. The models were used for identification of unknown aggreca
This paper describes a Cassegrain optics-based chemiluminescence sensor (CS) for measurements in gas turbine combustors. The chemiluminescence sensor measures the equivalence ratio of reacting fuel and air mixtures, and can identify the flame location, in partially premixed flames. It has the potential for monitoring the degree of premixedness of reacting fuel and air in industrial gas turbine com
Extensive microscopic molecular dynamics simulations have been performed to study the effects of short-chain alcohols, methanol and ethanol, on two different fully hydrated lipid bilayer systems (POPC and DPPC) in the fluid phase at 323 K. It is found that ethanol has a stronger effect on the structural properties of the membranes. In particular, the bilayers become more fluid and permeable: ethan
Resonant soft x-ray emission (SXE) spectroscopy was used to study the electronic structure of LixV6O13 battery cathodes. We observe that the V 3d-bands Of V6O13 exhibit a rather rigid behavior. Upon lithiation, electrons enter the top of the valence band and add intensity to the corresponding part of the V L-emission spectrum without significantly distorting the lower lying bands. We perform ab in
We theoretically investigate the mechanism of chemical enhancement of surface-enhanced resonance Roman scattering (SERRS) of para-aminothiophenol (PATP)/metal complexes and metal/PATP/metal junctions. The method of charge difference density is used to visualize intracluster excitation and charge transfer (CT) between PATP and metal during the process of resonant electronic transitions. It is found
The paper examines the impact of Rician fading on the orthogonality of dual-polarized MIMO channels in a measured urban macrocellular scenario. The measurements confirm the previous finding that the Rician

Popular Abstract in Swedish Prostatacancer är Sveriges vanligaste cancersjukdom bland män. Många av de som diagnosticeras med prostatacancer får inga besvär men cirka 2400 män dör årligen av sjukdomen. Det finns flera behandlingsmetoder mot prostatacancer, men för kastrationsresistent prostatacancer, en avancerad form av prostatacancer, finns idag ingen botande behandling. Det utvecklas dock allt Prostate cancer is one of the major causes of cancer related deaths in men in Europe and the United States. In this doctoral thesis, radioimmunoimaging and -therapy of prostate cancer was investigated pre-clinically by targeting the human kallikrein-related peptidase 2 (hK2) with radiolabelled monoclonal antibodies. hK2 is an antigen that is over-expressed in prostatic neoplasms and is closely rel
