We present a flexible and efficient program package written in C++, PROFASI, for simulating protein folding and aggregation. The systems are modeled using an all-atom description of the protein chains with only torsional degrees of freedom, and implicit water. The program package has a modular structure that makes the interaction potential easy to modify. The currently implemented potential is abl
Thin magnesium-nickel films grown on Mo( 110) under ultra-high vacuum conditions were hydrogenated with atomic H and studied by high-resolution core-level photoelectron spectroscopy ( PES) and thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS). We show spectroscopic evidence for reversible hydrogen storage and clear evidence that no Mg segregation or desorption occurs when hydrogen is desorbed from the film. D
We present two-dimensional numerical simulations of a model for Kepler's supernova remnant (SNR) carried out with the YGUAZU-A code. Following previous studies, we have assumed that the peculiar shape of this young remnant arises as a consequence of the interaction of the SNR blast wave with the bow shock formed by the wind of its high velocity progenitor. Furthermore, from our numerical results w
The aim of this study is to extend the traffic safety assessment concept to also include normal road user behaviour, thus not only exceptional behaviours such as accidents and serious conflicts. The goal is to provide a framework for a more thorough description and analysis of safety related road user behaviour in order to better understand the traffic safety processes. The traffic safety process
AIM: The purpose of the study was to explore the effects of using a structured nursing intervention programme in hypertension care. BACKGROUND: Counselling on lifestyle changes to address hypertension helps patients reduce risk factors such as smoking, high alcohol consumption, overweight, dyslipidemia, negative stress and physical inactivity. DESIGN: The study was performed as a pre-test-post-tes
This thesis concerns two interrelated subjects of heat and mass transfer processes. The first one concerns mainly experimental measurements, with a subsequent development of a calculation procedure, of the thermal and hydraulic performances, experimental methods and evaluation procedures applied on various plate heat exchangers (PHEs) as evaporators with the refrigerant ammonia as working medium.
A nonlinear dynamic handling model for a tractor-semitrailer combination vehicle is presented in this report. The equations of motion are derived from the fundamental equations of dynamics in Euler's formulation without approximations. The model is modular in the sense that it is easy to change axle configuration, tyre model, suspension model, or to add new features. The primary aim of the model i
Women are a neglected group for cardiovascular disease. Whereas young women tend to have lower incidences of coronary artery disease, stroke and myocardial infarctions than men, the situation changes drastically at menopause, after which women are at greater risk than men. Despite this, women at all ages receive less treatment, less attention and not enough information about health risks. Most ris
We present simultaneous, quality fits to final BRAHMS, PHOBOS, STAR and PHENIX data on particle spectra and two-particle Bose-Einstein or HBT correlations as measured in Au+Au collisions at root(S)NN = 130 GeV. Using the Buda-Lund hydro model, the best fit is achieved when the most central 1/8th of the particle emitting volume is superheated to T > T-c = 170 MeV. In contrast, we find no indication

High-resolution transmission electron microscopy characterization of molybdenum oxide catalyst precursors is carried out for a better understanding of the mechanisms leading to the active catalytic material. The precipitated material consists of both large-unit cell crystals and randomly orientated clusters on a 3-5 nm scale. The crystalline clusters are embedded in non-crystalline material, preve
Introduction: CD40 signaling activates dendritic cells leading to improved T cell priming against tumor antigens. CD40 agonism expands the tumor-specific T cell repertoire and has the potential to increase the fraction of patients that respond to established immunotherapies. Areas covered: This article reviews current as well as emerging CD40 agonist therapies with a focus on antibody-based therap
Infectious diseases are an existential health threat, potentiated by emerging and re-emerging viruses and increasing bacterial antibiotic resistance. Targeted treatment of infectious diseases re-quires precision diagnostics, especially in cases where broad-range therapeutics such as antibiotics fail. There is thus an increasing need for new approaches to develop sensitive and specific in vitro dia
