Doppler-free saturation spectroscopy in the regime of strong pumping intensities and optically thick atomic samples is investigated experimentally and theoretically. It is shown that a very high signal-to-background ratio can be obtained and, at the same time, subnatural linewidths can be reached. Further contrast and linewidth improvements can be attained by supplementing the primary depleted pum

BACKGROUND: Patients who survive after suicidal hanging attempts suffer from transient brain ischaemia. Morbidity and mortality is high, and no specific therapy is available. Hypothermia attenuates ischaemic brain damage and has become standard care in comatose survivors of cardiac arrest; therapeutic hypothermia may thus be useful for near-hanging victims as well.OBJECTIVES: To perform a literatu

Helicobacter bilis DNA has been detected in human tissue and is a candidate for etiologic investigations on the causes of hepatic and biliary tract diseases, but reliable serologic tests need to be developed in order to pursue such investigations. The scope of this study was to assess the specificity of two assays for H. bilis immune response allowing for H. pylori, and their cross-reactivity in a

Popular Abstract in Swedish Cafeterian i Malmö Musikhögskola förvandlas två gånger om året till de passionerades mötesplats: När terminens ”Gambiastudenter” återvänder efter sina tre veckors fältarbete och skola med palmer som klassrumsväggar, möts de av veteranerna, de som redan varit där och som förstår att tolka entusiasmen. Det handlar inte om den vitalitet som alstrats av solen, färgerna och The present study seeks to examine attitudes to teaching and learning among jalis in the Gambia. Although this is the main focus, the horizon of which the study is carried out, analysed and discussed, is the development of music teacher education in Sweden during the last three decades, and of which I have been a participant. The intention of the study is to expand current views on music teaching

Context: Pediatric cancer treatment may imply an increased risk of hypogonadism, leading to metabolic disorders and osteoporosis. Such complications are potentially preventable. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess diagnosis- and treatment-dependent risk of hypogonadism in male childhood cancer survivors (CCS). Design: Male CCS who were treated during the period 1970-2002 and who in 2004

Context and Objective:Total muscle triglyceride (MT) content has been associated with insulin resistance. We investigated the predictors and impact of MT on relevant metabolic parameters including peripheral and hepatic insulin resistance in elderly twins.Design and Participants:Seventy-four elderly same-sex twins underwent hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamps preceded by an iv glucose tolerance tes

Long-term instability in multiplanet exosystems is a crucial consideration when confirming putative candidates, analysing exoplanet populations, constraining the age of exosystems and identifying the sources of white dwarf pollution. Two planets that are Hill stable are separated by a wide-enough distance to ensure that they will never collide. However, Hill-stable planetary systems may eventually

Previously we reported the extreme water repellency of randomly organized macro-/nanoporous silicon surfaces [1]. The texturized silicon with hierarchical porous structure in micrometer and nanometer scale was shown to exhibit the superhydrophobic behaviour. Contact angles as high as 176º can be easily achieved with further fluoroalkylsilane modification of the porous surfaces. Porous silicon tech

A protective and anti-inflammatory role for CD1d-dependent NKT cells (NKTs) has been reported in experimental and human autoimmune diseases. However, their role in arthritis has been unclear, with conflicting reports of CD1d-dependent NKTs acting both as regulatory and disease-promoting cells in arthritis. These differing modes of action might be due to genetic differences of inbred mice and incom

Summary Proteinase 3 (PR3) is a major autoantigen in anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA)-associated systemic vasculitis (AASV), and the proportion of neutrophils expressing PR3 on their membrane (mPR3(+)) is increased in AASV. We have shown recently that mPR3 and CD177 are expressed on the same cells in healthy individuals. In this study we try to elucidate mechanisms behind the increase

BACKGROUND: Among head and neck cancers, human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) is associated with tonsillar carcinomas. Despite this, no HPV16-positive tonsillar cancer cell line has been established in nude mice.METHODS: Fresh tonsillar carcinoma biopsies were obtained from 23 patients and implanted subcutaneously into nude mice (BALB/c, nu/nu).RESULTS: After 7 months, one xenograft was establishe

PURPOSE: The purpose of this research project is to further advance theory on management of product development by providing insights on customer orientations. The study contributes to the literature by bringing in Actor-Network Theory (ANT) as a new perspective to theorize the process of translations between customer orientation and engineering orientation within product development.

This thesis focuses on the presence and significance of silence in the poetic work The Psalms of Struggle and Liberation (1964), by the Nicaraguan liberation theologian Ernesto Cardenal, in which the biblical psaltery constitutes the base for a contextual interpretation. This study aims to prove the hypothesis that the white spaces in the psalms, created by the application of free verse, are possi

Hur vi väljer att organisera våra familjer har genomgått en radikal förändring sedan mitten av 1900-talet. Kärnfamiljen är visserligen fortfarande den vanligaste familjeformen, men den har i allt större utsträckning kommit att kompletteras med en rad icke-traditionella familje-konstellationer, bl.a. samkönade familjer. Den här utvecklingen har naturligtvis också påverkat hur vi lever och praktisHow we choose to organize our families has changed significantly since the mid-20th century. It might be true that the nuclear family remains the most common family form. However, it has to an increasing extent been accompanied by a number of non-traditional families, including same-sex families. Naturally, this development has also affected the way we live and how we practice family life. While
