Popular Abstract in Swedish Hemolytiskt uremiskt syndrom (HUS) och trombotiskt trombocytopen purpura (TTP) är allvarliga sjukdomar hos barn och vuxna. HUS kännetecknas av mikroangiopatisk hemolytisk anemi (blodbrist med nedbrytning av röda blodkroppar), trombocytopeni (låga blodplättar) och akut njursvikt. Det är den vanligaste orsaken till akut njursvikt hos barn. Typisk HUS utlöses av tarminfektThis study investigated the pathogenesis of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). (1) The relative roles of lipopolysaccharide and Shiga-like toxin-2 were studied in a mouse model of Escherichia coli O157:H7 infection. Both factors were found to be important for the virulence of the strain and contributed in an additive manner. The mouse model mimicked cert

Anaerobic digestion is a microbially mediated process occurring in nature in the absence of oxygen and other non-carbonaceous electron acceptors. The majority of the carbon of the organic matter degraded in the process is transformed into carbon dioxide and methane. Most of the energy potential of the degraded material is conserved in the methane, thus providing a renewable energy carrier, which c

Sub-monolayers of gold have been grown at room temperature on the hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanomesh formed on Rh(111), and studied systematically with core level and angle-resolved valence band photoelectron spectroscopy. The results are compared with those for the Au/Rh(111) and Au/h-BN/Pt(111) interfaces. It has been found that on clean Rh(111) substrate gold starts to grow two-dimensional

Popular Abstract in Swedish Personlighetspsykologer har i mer än ett århundrade försökt att identifiera och beskriva observerbara skillnader mellan individer. Bland dessa indiduella skillnader har intelligens och personlighet fått stor uppmärksamhet inom skolvärlden, liksom elevers förhållningssätt till sitt lärande. Kunskapen om vilka faktorer som påverkar studieresultat har viktiga praktiska konThe aim of the present doctoral thesis was to examine to what extent personality traits and approaches to learning contribute to academic performance in upper secondary school (high school), after controlling for the well-known fact that general intelligence accounts for a large part of the variance. The general proposition of the thesis is that personality traits are stable dispositons and theref

The objective with this work is to compare the adhesive behavior for latex polymers of different glass transition temperatures (T-g) at different length scales and with different contact times. This is accomplished by two techniques: AFM colloidal probe force measurements and JKR-measurements. The aim is to compare the results from these two techniques and relate them to the interaction of the lat

The technique of longitudinal ("xyz") polarization analysis has been used successfully for many years to study disordered magnetic materials in thermal and cold neutron diffraction experiments. The technique allows the simultaneous and unambiguous separation of the nuclear, magnetic, and nuclear spin-incoherent contributions to the scattering. The technical advances seen in recent years, such as t

In this paper, a mathematical model is presented by which the cutting forces in gear form milling process are predicted using the mechanistic approach. To use this approach, a detailed description of the chip geometry is needed. Eccentricity and run-out tool errors are considered, which is of great importance as the chip thickness will by these errors vary for the subsequent cuts. The chip geometr

Wind and ocean currents may potentially have important effects on travelling animals, as an animal which does not respond to lateral flow will be drifted from its intended direction of movement. By analysing daily movements of migrating ospreys Pandion haliaetus and marsh harriers Circus aeruginosus, as recorded by satellite telemetry, in relation to global wind data, we showed that these raptors

List decoding of binary block codes for the additive white Gaussian noise channel is considered. The output of a list decoder is a list of the $L$ most likely codewords, that is, the L signal points closest to the received signal in the Euclidean-metric sense. A decoding error occurs when the transmitted codeword is not on this list. It is shown that the list error probability is fully described b

Treatment of multisite, sclerotic bone metastases is successfully performed by radionuclide therapy. Pain palliation is the most common aim for the treatment. Two radiopharmaceuticals are currently approved by the European Medicines Agency (Sm-153-EDTMP and Sr-89-Cl-2) whilst other radiopharmaceuticals are at different stages of development, or are approved in some European countries (Re-186-HEDP,

The gamma decays from an isomeric 10+ state at 6457 keV in the nucleus 54Ni have been identified using the GSI fragment separator in conjunction with the RISING Ge-detector array. The state is interpreted as the isobaric analog of the 6527-keV 10+ isomer in 54Fe. The results are discussed in terms of isospin-dependent shell-model calculations. Clear evidence is presented for a discrete l = 5 proto

The hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) is postulated to be the ultimate hematopoietic precursor providing production of mature blood cells, and is characterized by a life long capacity for self-renewal and multilineage differentiation. In a healthy human, the HSC produces 1,000,000,000,000 cells per day, illustrating the high turnover within the hematopoietic system and the need for replenishments by H

In this article we look at examples of three predominant kinds of Swedish retail places – the pedestrianised city centre, the neighbourhood centre and the regional shopping mall – all of which play important (winning or losing) roles in contemporary retail development. This investigation is based on an empirical study of the Malmö region (in southern Sweden) and the findings suggest that the diffe

The absorption, tissue distribution and excretion of enteral alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) was studied in four experiments. Six male Sprague Dawley rats were used to investigate the excretion of AKG in urine and faeces. Thirty rats, randomly assigned to five groups, were used to investigate the distribution of AKG in body tissues. They were gavaged with AKG enriched with 3 muCi/kg BW of (14)C uniforml

The nomenclature of Gallowayella, Golubkovaea, Oxneria, and some species of Gyalolechia, Leproplaca, and Rusavskia in the Teloschistaceae is corrected and commented. Rusavskia ectaniza is a new combination. Also the earlier invalidly published combinations Gyalolechia bassiae, Leproplaca chrysodeta, and Rusavskia aspera are validated.
