Estimating catchment scale soil loss based on rainfall simulators is often hampered by the difficulty to scale up simulator results. Our objective was to develop and test a method for estimating catchment scale soil loss based on observed rainfall using a variable intensity rainfall simulator in an erosion-sensitive catchment in semiarid Tunisia. A 7-year period, 1992-1999, with observed sedimenta

Extensive experimental data from high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions were recorded using the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The comprehensive set of measurements from the first three years of RHIC operation includes charged particle multiplicities, transverse energy, yield ratios and spectra of identified hadrons in a wide range of transverse momenta (PT), ellipt

1. Shallow lake ecosystems are normally dominated by submerged and emergent plants. Biological stabilising mechanisms help preserve this dominance. The systems may switch to dominance by phytoplankton, however, with loss of submerged plants. This process usually takes place against a background of increasing nutrient loadings but also requires additional switch mechanisms, which damage the plants

Excited states of Ag-99 were populated via the Cr-50 + Ni-58 (261 MeV) reaction using the NORDBALL detector array equipped with charged-particle and neutron. detector systems for reaction channel separation. On the basis of the measured gammagamma-coincidence relations and angular distribution ratios a significantly extended level scheme has been constructed up to E-x similar to 7.8 MeV and I = 35

New excited states have been observed in the neutron deficient isotope Ag-98 following the Ni-58+Cr-50-->Te-108* heavy-ion reaction. One of these states may be interpreted as a maximum spin aligned state of the pi g(9/2)(-3) nu vg(7/2) configuration. Other possible interpretations within the nuclear shell model are discussed as well.

Background. Of the estimated one million Papanicolaou (pap) smears performed annually in Sweden, about 4% show any degree of abnormality. Approximately, 1% of these cases contain moderate or severe atypia (high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions) and the rest contain low-grade atypia. Recommendations for the management of minor abnormalities vary in various parts of Sweden. Generally, a second

I-131 radionuclide therapy studies have not shown a strong relationship between tumor absorbed dose and response, possibly due to inaccuracies in activity quantification and dose estimation. The goal of this work was to establish the accuracy of I-131 activity quantification and absorbed dose estimation when patient-specific, 3-dimensional (3D) methods are used for SPECT reconstruction and for abs

Questions: How is succession on ex-arable land affected by sowing high and low diversity mixtures of grassland species as compared to natural succession? How long do effects persist? Location: Experimental plots installed in the Czech Republic, The Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Methods: The experiment was established on ex-arable land, with five blocks, each containing three

Background Postoperative policies of "wait-and-see" and radiotherapy for low-grade glioma are poorly defined. A trial in the mid 1980s established the radiation dose. In 1986 the EORTC Radiotherapy and Brain Tumor Groups initiated a prospective trial to compare early radiotherapy with delayed radiotherapy. An interim analysis has been reported. We now present the long-term results. Methods After s

S-phase fraction (SPF) is a reference for cell-kinetic analysis. In this study, the links between SPF and the essential enzymes participating in the pyrimidine synthesis were investigated in breast cancer and their relationships with the natural history of the disease were compared. We measured thymidine kinase (TK) for salvage synthesis, thymidylate synthase (TS) for de novo synthesis and thymidy

Syftet med undersökningen är att förstå vad som ligger till grund för konsumtion av mode i lågprissegmentet. Mer specifikt, den analyserar hur inkomstförändringar och konjunktursvängningar påverkar konsumtionen av modevaror utifrån data över H&Ms och KappAhls försäljning under åren 1992-2012. Analysen sker i två delar, en grafisk och en ekonometrisk. Den grafiska analysen visar att H&M och

Genetic factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis but the genes that determine susceptibility to poor bone health are defined incompletely. Previous work has shown that a polymorphism that affects an Spl binding site in the COLIA1 gene is associated with reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and an increased risk of osteoporotic fracture in several populations. Data from cros

BACKGROUND: Angiotensin II (Ang II) has been implicated in the development of cardiac fibrosis. The aims of the present study were to examine expression and activity of ACE and of angiotensin receptors in human cardiac fibroblasts cultured from dilated cardiomyopathic and ischemic hearts. The effects of Ang II on fibroblasts were also investigated. METHODS AND RESULTS: Human cardiac fibroblasts we

Angiogenesis and increased permeability of the blood-brain barrier have been reported to occur in animal models of Parkinson's disease and l-dopa-induced dyskinesia, but the significance of these phenomena has remained unclear. Using a validated rat model of l-dopa-induced dyskinesia, this study demonstrates that chronic treatment with l-dopa dose dependently induces the expression of vascular end

Main Abstract Content: Purpose To investigate the association between conflict frequency and bullying at T1 and T2, moderation of individual conflict management styles and mediation of negative acts. Methodology Data from the Workplace Bullying and Harassment cohort (2006-2008) were analysed cross-sectionally (n=3363) and longitudinally (n=1664). Measures: conflict frequency; three individual con

En bostadsrättsförenings styrelse ska pröva varje medlems förmåga att uppfylla sitt ekonomiska åtagande mot föreningen innan inträde beviljas. Detta åtagande är primärt bestående av erläggande av den i stadgarna specificerade årsavgiften. Om en sådan bedömning leder föreningen att misstänka att den sökande inte klarar av det ekonomiska åtagandet kan medlemskap avslås enligt 2 kap. 3 § 1st BrL. DenA co-operative housing associations board shall try every potential members ability to fulfill its economic commitment to the association before entry is granted. The economic commitment is primarily consisting of paying the annual fee required by the co-operative housing associations statutes. If the assessment of the subjects economy is not to satisfaction, membership can be denied according to

Much focus is being laid on vibrations in the building industry today. Many times these vibrations are externally induced and caused by placing buildings closer to existing sources, such as railways and roads, or new transportation systems closer to existing buildings. Vibrations can be disturbing to both humans and sensitive equipment in, for example, hospitals and laboratories. The simulations n
