In internal radionuclide therapy, a growing interest in voxel-level estimates of tissue-absorbed dose has been driven by the desire to report radiobiologic quantities that account for the biologic consequences of both spatial and temporal nonuniformities in these dose estimates. This report presents an overview of 3-dimensional SPECT methods and requirements for internal dosimetry at both regional

En reflektion över Mario Vargas Llosas författarskap, främst med utgångspunkt i romanerna Bockfesten och Tant Julia och författaren.

This volume focuses on different aspects of language development. The contributions are concerned with similarities and differences between first and second language acquisition, the acquisition of sentence structure and functional categories, cross-linguistic influence in bilingual first language acquisition as well as the relation between language acquisition, language contact and diachronic cha

Traditionally, political scientists define political institutions deductively. This approach may prevent from discovery of existing institutions beyond the definitions. Here, a principal component analysis was used for an inductive extraction of dimensions in Polity IV data on the political institutions of all nations in the world the last two centuries. Three dimensions of institutions were revea

SHANK3 (also known as ProSAP2) regulates the structural organization of dendritic spines and is a binding partner of neuroligins; genes encoding neuroligins are mutated in autism and Asperger syndrome. Here, we report that a mutation of a single copy of SHANK3 on chromosome 22q13 can result in language and/or social communication disorders. These mutations concern only a small number of individual

This doctoral thesis is comprised of five parts which deal with different signal processing problems in ECG-based characterization of atrial arrhythmias. Such characterization requires that the ventricular activity has first been cancelled in the ECG. In Part I, a new method for cancellation of the QRST complexes in recordings with atrial fibrillation is presented. The method is based on a spatiot

The authors review the work of G.D. Forney, Jr., on the algebraic structure of convolutional encoders upon which some new results regarding minimal convolutional encoders rest. An example is given of a basic convolutional encoding matrix whose number of abstract states is minimal over all equivalent encoding matrices. However, this encoding matrix can be realized with a minimal number of memory el

An atomic-beam magnetic-resonance technique together with laser detection has been used to study the hyperfine structure of the metastable states of the 6s5d configuration of barium. Preliminary results for the 3D1 state, which has not been studied previously, are given.

Excited state lifetimes of c(4)('1)Sigma (+)(u), upsilon = 0-2 states of molecular nitrogen have been determined in a laboratory investigation using a picosecond XUV laser in a pump-probe configuration. For c(4)('1)Sigma (+)(u) upsilon = 0 the lifetime is tau = 740 +/- 50 ps, for the lowest rotational states. For higher rotational states a gradual shift towards tau = 495 ps is found in agreement w

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate the combination of a rapid intravenous infusion of cold saline and endovascular hypothermia in a closed chest pig infarct model. METHODS: Pigs were randomized to pre-reperfusion hypothermia (n = 7), post-reperfusion hypothermia (n = 7) or normothermia (n = 5). A percutaneous coronary intervention balloon was inflated in the left anterior descending
