To use conventional ray tracing methods in Monte Carlo simulation of the collimator in a scintillation camera system can be time consuming. It is however necessary to take collimator interactions into account when simulating radionuclides emitting high-energy photons that can penetrate the septa in the collimator. In this work a statistical collimator algorithm, based on the Delta-Scattering metho
We have observed a feature at similar to2.5 eV binding energy (BE) in the valence band of La1-xSrxMnO3 single crystals not previously reported in the literature. The relative intensity of this feature decreases with increasing Sr concentration x and has a strong photon energy dependence. It also exhibits a complicated angle dependence. In this report we present a full set of angular-resolved photo
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen handlar om litteraturläsning och litteraturundervisning i grundskolan. Syftet är att belysa den betydelse läsning av skönlitteratur ges i skolans mellanår i början av det tjugoförsta århundradet. Forskningsfrågorna berör de mål och föreställningar om litteratur och läsning som lärare ger uttryck för och hur dessa kommer till uttryck i konkret klassrumsarbetThis dissertation explores the teaching of literature in Swedish compulsory school. The aim of the study is to elucidate different approaches to literature instruction in upper elementary school (grades 4-6, pupils aged 10-13). The research questions focus on what goals and ideas about literature and reading guide teachers and how these are carried out in pedagogical practice and classroom activit
I present the status of the T(HE)PEG project for creating a common platform for implementing C++ event generators. I also describe briefly the status of the new versions of P-YTHIA, (HERWIG) and A(RIADNE) which are implemented using this framework. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Complex product form generation methods have rarely been used within the field of industrial design. The difficulty in their use is mainly linked to constraints – such as functionality, production and cost – that apply to most products. By cou-pling a mathematically described morphology to an optimisation system, it may be possible to generate a complex product form, compliant with engineering and
Paediatric movement disorders (PMDs) comprise a large group of disorders (tics, myoclonus, tremor, dystonia, chorea, Parkinsonism, ataxia), often with mixed phenotypes. Determination of the underlying aetiology can be difficult given the broad differential diagnosis and the complexity of the genotype–phenotype relationships. This can make the diagnostic process time-consuming and difficult. In thi
Dermatan sulfate epimerase 1 (DS-epi1, EC 5.1.3.19) catalyzes the conversion of d-glucuronic acid to l-iduronic acid on the polymer level, a key step in the biosynthesis of the glycosaminoglycan dermatan sulfate. Here, we present the first crystal structure of the catalytic domains of DS-epi1, solved at 2.4 Å resolution, as well as a model of the full-length luminal protein obtained by a combinati
Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is a highly aggressive soft tissue tumor primarily affecting children and young adults. Most cases display a pathognomonic EWSR1-WT1 gene fusion, presumably constituting the primary driver event. Little is, however, known about secondary genetic changes that may affect tumor progression. We here studied 25 samples from 19 DSRCT patients using single nucl

This paper presents a norm-critical aspect on universal design and waste in a collaborative research project with the objective of creating more inclusive solutions for waste systems. The overall ambition of this study is to build on knowledge of the role of design as an activity of shaping the human surroundings and as an expression of the culture to which it belongs.
In the present work, f-wave morphology is characterized by principal component analysis and a novel temporal parameter defined by the cumulative normalized variance of the 3 largest principal components (r3). The 7-day behavior of persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) was studied in 9 patients using r3, AF frequency, and sample entropy (SampEn). Detection of circadian rhythms depended on the paramet
Structure-borne vibration and low-frequency re-radiated noise from internal and external sources cause annoyance for inhabitants in dwellings. A key parameter in the prediction of vibration and noise levels is the modal parameters of the floors in a building, since vibration and sound levels increase when natural frequencies of the floor coincide with the excitation frequencies of a source, e.g. m
The European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) Task Forces (TFs) on Quality of Life (QoL) and Patient Oriented Outcomes, Melanoma and Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer (NMSC) present a review of the literature and position statement on health-related (HR) QoL assessment in skin cancer patients. A literature search was carried out to identify publications since 1980 that included information abo
The critical impact of air pollution on human health and environment in one hand and the complexity of pollutant concentration behavior in the other hand lead the scientists to look for advance techniques for monitoring and predicting the urban air quality. Additionally, recent developments in data measurement techniques have led to collection of various types of data about air quality. Such data
Conventional technical system is designed with all details in the product development phase. Conditions of operation and modes of behaviour are known and validated before the product is launched to the market. This deterministic way of thinking is built into regulations procedures and it is requested at validation when safety is an issue. The existing way of validation that is based on predictive
Introduction: Targeted temperature management (TTM) after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) has been recommended in international guidelines since 2005. The TTM-trial published in 2013 showed no difference in survival or neurological outcome for patients randomised to 33 °C or 36 °C, and many hospitals have changed practice. The optimal utilization of TTM is still debated. This study aimed to
Cancers reprogram macrophages (MΦs) to a tumor-growth-promoting TAM (tumor-associated MΦ) phenotype that is similar to the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) enzymes regulate various aspects of MΦ biology, but their role in the development of TAM phenotype has not yet been investigated. Here, we show that the multispectral PARP inhibitor (PARPi) PJ34 and the PARP14
We examined the effect of GH supplementation on the psychological capacity and sense of well-being in 36 patients with adult-onset GH deficiency (GHD). Recombinant human GH was given in a 21-month cross-over, double blind trial, and quality of life was assessed by using three self-rating questionnaires: the Hopkins Symptom Check List (HSCL), the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP), and the Psychologic
Psychodermatology is a subspecialty of dermatology that is of increasing interest to dermatologists and patients. The case for the provision of at least regional psychodermatology services across Europe is robust. Psychodermatology services have been shown to have better, quicker and more cost-efficient clinical outcomes for patients with psychodermatological conditions. Despite this, psychodermat
