Bronchoconstriction is a hallmark in respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Current therapies use bronchodilating agents in order to control the exacerbations produced by limited airflow and improve the quality of life of patients suffering from these diseases. Capsazepine, a compound derived from the active principle of hot pepper (Capsicum annuum),
It is well known that one of the features of long-memory processes is that they tend to have what looks like trends and cycles. A consequence of this property is that it is difficult to distinguish a long-memory process from a nonstationary process. In this paper, we study the impact of the periodicity and trend on different methods for estimating the long-memory processes parameter d.
The Council Presidency offered Sweden a possibility to contribute not only to a number of important issue areas but also to what we may call the ‘foreign policy’ side of the EU.A general question was, of course, what sort of impact Sweden could make in this field, given its background as a nonaligned and small state — a country generally regarded as hesitant in terms of supranational policy-making
Board evaluations can contribute to effective boards and improved corporate financial performance. The increasing interest in the practice of board evaluations, however, calls for a more systematic and careful approach than has been employed in the past. While most attention has primarily been focused on the content of board evaluations, this article outlines the features of various possible board
This paper describes the development of a method based on measurements of the radar cross section (RCS) in the forward direction to determine the extinction cross section for the 2.5 – 38 GHz frequency range. A conventional anechoic chamber designed for monostatic measurements is used for forward RCS measurements. The extinction cross section is then calculated from the measured forward RCS using
