This study examined an econometric analysis of the macroeconomic determinants of carbon dioxide (CO2) emission in Nigeria, covering the periods between 1981 and 2016, employing both linear and non-linear Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL & NARDL) models. The time series data used were sourced from the database of the World Bank Development Indicators, 2016 and Central Bank of Nigeria Statis

The cytotoxic quinolone CP-115,953 specifically exerts its inhibitory effect upon eukaryotic topoisomerase II. CP-115,953 stimulates DNA cleavage mediated by topoisomerase II with a potency approximately 600 times greater than that of ciprofloxacin, a quinolone antibacterial agent that currently is in clinical use. Because ciprofloxacin has been reported to strongly enhance interleukin-2 productio

Denna artikel beskriver den bokutgivning som skedde inom ramen för tidskriften Zenit mellan åren 1968 och 1982. Zenit gav ut böcker i egen regi men redigerade också tre bokserier på Bo Cavefors förlag(två st.) och på Raben & Sjögren (1). Böckerna gavs typografisk form av Leif Thollander. Tidskriftens Zenits bakgrund i den ""nya vänstern"" skisseras. Bokutgivningens innehåll och karaktär beskri

Rap lyrics in Sweden have become increasingly multilingual in the past twenty years. In this chapter, Karin Nykvist provides insights into contemporary Swedish hip-hop and its use of multilingualism. In her analysis of Swedish rap poetics, Nykvist shows how hip-hop lyrics turn to multilingual aesthetics in order to destabilize and question ideas of national identity and to deconstruct the monoling

Katarina BlennowDepartment of Educational Sciences, Lund UniversitySocial studies education in ethnically diverse classroomsThe present paper will discuss preliminary findings from an ongoing doctoral project. The project investigates how social studies education can be accomplished and how it is understood by teachers and students in ethnically diverse classrooms. The study focuses on questions a

Purpose: The study aims to focus on rotation effects on a ribbed channel of gas turbine blades for internal cooling. The combination and interaction between secondary flows generated by angled rib geometry and Coriolis forces in the rotating channel are studied numerically. Design/methodology/approach: A radially outward flow passage as an internal cooling test model with and without ribs is used

In this paper, we present a study for the identification of stancerelated features in text data from social media. Based on our previous work on stance and our findings on stance patterns, we detected stance-related characteristics in a data set from Twitter and Facebook. We extracted various corpus-, quantitative- and computational-based features that proved to be significant for six stance categ

We demonstrate fluidics realized in thin film plastic foils patterned using roll-toroll nanoimprinting lithography (rrNIL). Realizing fluidics devices in thin plastic foils opens up for parallel operation in stacked devices. It also provides a convenient format for storage and distribution of the devices.

We present experimental results and simulations on a simple method for tunable particle separation based on a combination of Deterministic Lateral Displacement (DLD) and Insulator Based Dielectrophoresis (I-DEP). Rather than deriving its tunability from its elastic properties[1], our present device uses an applied AC field to perturb the particle trajectories in the pressure-driven flow and is the

The local alignment of DNA stretched in nanofluidic channels is measured using polarization sensitive detection. With increased degree of stretching the polarization anisotropy increases both in the deGennes and the Odijk regime. The technique is expected to find use in studies of, for example, local conformational changes in polymer physics in confined spaces, studies of protein-DNA interactions

The highly variable complementary determining region 3 (CDR3) of antibodies is generated through recombination of immunoglobulin heavy chain variable (IGHV), diversity, and joining genes. The codons encoding the first residues of CDR3 may be derived directly from the IGHV germline gene but they may also be generated as part of the rearrangement process. Data of the nucleotide composition of these

The prophage-encoded staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) is recognized as the main cause of staphylococcal food poisoning (SFP), a common foodborne intoxication disease, caused by Staphylococcus aureus. Studies on the production of SEA suggest that activation of the SOS response and subsequent prophage induction affect the regulation of the sea gene and the SEA produced, increasing the risk for SFP
