The Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) is a method to decompose non linear, non stationary time series into a sum of different modes, named Intrinsical Mode Functions each one having a characteristic frequency. In the present work we used the EMD to investigate the properties of the recorded sounds from the Arteriovenous fistula on hemodialysis patients. Phonoangiographic signals coming from two d

Epstein-Barr virus-mediated transformation of human B lymphocytes is inhibited by human T lymphocytes as well as by interferon-γ. Removal of the inhibitory cell populations is essential in order to achieve successful transformation in vitro. Cells with the capacity to inhibit outgrowth of lymphoblastoid cell lines can be removed by pretreatment of peripheral blood mononuclear cells with l-leucyl-l

All is a 17-kDa chromosomally encoded outer membrane protein that mediates serum resistance (complement resistance) in the pathogenic Yersiniae (Yersinia pestis, Y. enterocolitica, and Y. pseudotuberculosis). In this article, we demonstrate that Y pseudotuberculosis Ail from strains PB1, 2812/79, and YPIII/pIB1 (serotypes O:1a, O:1b, and O:3, respectively) can bind the inhibitor of the classical a

The globular protein γB-crystallin exhibits a complex phase behavior, where liquid-liquid phase separation characterized by a critical volume fraction ϕc = 0.154 and a critical temperature Tc = 291.8 K coexists with dynamical arrest on all length scales at volume fractions around ϕ ≈ 0.3-0.35, and an arrest line that extends well into the unstable region below the spinodal. However, although the s

Screening mammography plays a key role in the early detection of breast cancer, however, estimates of sensitivities (48-88%) and specificities (82-98%) suggest that the diagnostic accuracy can be improved (1, 2, 3). Breast tomosynthesis (BT) is a 3D technique that is expected to improve breast cancer detection compared to screen-film and digital mammography DM). This work presents two clinical obs

The Papuan languages on the islands of Timor, Alor, Pantar and Kisar have typically been supposed to be related to one another. Based on their geographical proximity, this assumption of relatedness has been supported by impressionistic assessments of lexical and phonological similarity and the results of lexicostatistical measurements. Whilst recent historical work has shown definitively that the

Popular Abstract in Swedish Helicobacter pylori är en spiralformad Gramnegativ human-specifik patogen, som kan penetrera magsäckens slemlager och kolonisera epitelskiktet. H. pylori infektion är en högriskfaktor för utvecklandet av kronisk gastrit, magsår och ventrikelcancer. Både aktivt växande spiralformer av H. pylori och dess runda viloformer framkallar kronisk magkatarr (gastrit) i BALB/cA möHelicobacter pylori is a human pathogen strongly associated with chronic type B gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, gastric cancer and MALT lymphoma. Our aims were to establish a mouse model of H. pylori infection, to study pathogenesis of gastritis and gastric cancer and to investigate new treatment strategies in this model. Both spiral and coccoid forms of H. pylori strains 17874, 25 and 553/93 cau

This paper consists of two, somewhat disparate parts. In the first part, some experiences of two years of fieldwork are summarized, concentrating, as the subtitle suggests, on the very heart of phonetic fieldwork: the encounters and interviews with the informants. As a result of the fieldwork, the project now has access to recordings from approximately 1300 speakers of more than 100 dialects of Sw
