Interest in the ocean has increased over the past decades. This includes interest in the relationship between capitalism and the ocean. Philip Steinberg and others have argued that capitalism dematerializes the sea and produces it as empty space. Against this dematerialization many scholars have insisted on the materiality of the sea, and on how capitalism in practice makes use of and changes the
The recognition of amine groups by ninhydrin, along with a simple mathematical algorithm, showed that di- and tripeptides derived from dietary protein are the major end products of protein digestion entering the blood postprandially. There are thousands of oligopeptides appearing in the gut during protein digestion. However, the presented study on a pig model clearly shows that peptides longer tha
We investigate Chebyshev polynomials corresponding to Jacobi weights and determine monotonicity properties of their related Widom factors. This complements work by Bernstein from 1930 to 1931 where the asymptotical behavior of the related Chebyshev norms was established. As a part of the proof, we analyze a Bernstein-type inequality for Jacobi polynomials due to Chow et al. Our findings shed new l
Optimizing the use of available resources is often termed “Fast-track”, a term more or less overlapping the term “Enhanced Recovery after Surgery” (ERAS). The obesity epidemic calls for increased use of surgery, since no other therapeutic modality can achieve massive and lasting weight loss. Good results can be expressed in terms of therapeutic success, patient safety as well as the optimum use of
Two models where productivity growth is caused by spillovers from R&D are analyzed using a sample of nine manufacturing industries in six large OECD countries between 1979 and 1991. The first model is based on traditional productivity analysis, the second model on the endogenous growth theory. The empirical results indicate stronger support for the latter. The results suggest that spillovers f
There has been much interest recently in the relationship between economic conditions and mortality, with some studies showing that mortality is pro-cyclical, while others find the opposite. Some suggest that the aggregation level of analysis (e.g. individual vs. regional) matters. We use both individual and aggregated data on a sample of 20-64 year-old Swedish men from 1993 to 2007. Our results s

TLR ligands are present on both commensal and pathogenic microbes. Intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) have been observed to be largely unresponsive to TLR ligands. This observation has partly been explained by the fact that TLR expression on IECs is sparse. The discovery of the Toll-like receptors finally identified the innate immune receptors that were responsible for many of the innate immune fu
In order to increase the capacity of a mobile radio network, it is desirable to exploit the spatial domain in an efficient way. A common technique is to use a sector antennas. Sectors can be formed by using antenna arrays which add spatial domain selectivity in order to improve the Signal-to-Noise and Interference Ratio (SNIR). In this paper an interference cancellation scheme is presented that co
The use of this material under current use conditions is supported by the existing information.This material was evaluated for genotoxicity, repeated dose toxicity, developmental toxicity, reproductive toxicity, local respiratory toxicity, phototoxicity, skin sensitization, as well as environmental safety. Data from the suitable read across analog, benzyl acetate (CAS # 140-11-4), show that this m
This paper studies the long-term behaviour of a system of interacting random walks labelled by vertices of a finite graph. We show that the system undergoes phase transitions, with different behaviour in various regions, depending on model parameters and properties of the underlying graph. We provide the complete classification of the long-term behaviour of the corresponding continuous time Markov
The initiative at the Burj El Barajneh camp is run by a network of local associations, and aims at improving living conditions, services, infrastructure and livelihoods for the inhabitants. Burj el Barajneh has a large number of active associations and many highly educated professionals. However, in this kind of complex hyperdense context any kind of change needs to be carefully considered, there
The paper presents the synthesis of a series of studies on support measures for pupils with additional languages in Sweden, with a particular focus on the consequences of language support measures for teaching and learning school mathematics. The analysis identifies several critical aspects in mathematics teaching when the pupils transition from one school system to another, and particularly when
