The effects of varying extracellular concentrations of K+ and Ca2+ [K+]o and [Ca2+]o on force development and membrane potential were investigated in the guinea-pig mesotubarium. At [K+]o up to 40 mM, spontaneous action potentials were present, while higher [K+]o gave sustained contractures at a stable membrane potential (-24 to -12 mV for [K+]o from 60 to 120 mM). Tension decreased successively w

Minimal Kitaev chains, composed of two quantum dots connected via a superconductor, have emerged as an attractive platform to realize Majorana bound states (MBSs). These excitations exist when the ground state is degenerate. The additional requirement of isolating the MBS wave functions further restricts the parameter space to discrete sweet spots. While scaling up to Kitaev chains with more than

The aim of this study is to investigate whether the choice of payment method in mergers and acquisitions is determined by the credit rating existence of the bidder and if the credit rating level has an impact of the financing source. The methods used are Probit and GLM logit regressions. The dependent variables are payment method and fraction of cash with credit rating and credit rating level as t

Uppsatsens tudelade syfte är dels att utreda hur svenska börsbolags efterlevnad av de krav som ställs i IAS 36 avseende nedskrivning av goodwill har förändrats under perioden 2008-2012, dels att förklara varför denna förändring eller brist på förändring har skett. Uppsatsen bygger på ett interpretativistiskt förhållningssätt, eftersom uppsatsen syftar till att försöka beskriva och förklara den soThe thesis has two purposes. The first purpose is to investigate to what extent the companies listed on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm AB ("Börsen") have observed the rules of IAS 36 regarding impairment testing of goodwill during the time period 2008-2012. The second purpose is to explain the reasons behind the changes, or lack thereof, in the observance of IAS 36. The thesis is built upon an in

Vertical graphene (VG) is a remarkable electrode material for supercapacitors due to its large specific area, open channel structures, and numerous exposed edges with high electrochemical activity. However, flexible supercapacitors with high rate performance based on VG have yet to be investigated. Here, we report flexible supercapacitors based on VG, carbon fabric (CF) current collector, and H2SO

Animals living in harsh environments, where temperatures are hot and rainfall is unpredictable, are more likely to breed in cooperative groups. As a result, harsh environmental conditions have been accepted as a key factor explaining the evolution of cooperation. However, this is based on evidence that has not investigated the order of evolutionary events, so the inferred causality could be incorr

Adolescent Cannabis exposure has been hypothesized to act as a gateway to opiate abuse. In order to investigate the role of genetic background in cannabinoid-opiate interactions, we studied the effect of Δ(9) -tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) exposure of adolescent Lewis and Fischer 344 rats on the responsiveness of accumbens shell and core dopamine (DA), as monitored by microdialysis, to THC and heroin

Background and purpose — The proximal femur locking compression plate (PF-LCP) is a new concept in the treatment of hip fractures. When releasing new implants onto the market, biomechanical studies are conducted to evaluate performance of the implant. We investigated the relation between biomechanical and clinical studies on PF-LCP. Methods — A systematic literature search of relevant biomechanica

BACKGROUND: Cytoreductive surgery with intraperitoneal chemotherapy has emerged as a new standard approach for peritoneal surface disease. This study investigated the learning curve of this combined modality treatment at a single institute.METHODS: Variables analysed over three consecutive treatment periods (1996-1998, 1999-2002 and 2003-2006) included number of abdominal regions affected, Simplif

Some plants use food bodies to attract ants that then provide protection from herbivory. A brief report from 1898 describes the myrmecophilic plant Leea aculeata Bl. as bearing food bodies on its young shoots, which accumulate when they are not harvested by ants. However, ant efficacy in deterring herbivores and consequences for herbivory rates remain unknown. Here we investigate (1) which ant tax

Primary Raynaud's phenomenon (PRP) is characterized by cold- or stress-induced transient attacks of impaired skin circulation in fingers and/or toes. PRP displays seasonal variation with less severe symptoms in the summer. The aetiology has not been clarified. The aims of the present study were (a) to assess the influence of cold exposure on the plasma levels of the nitric oxide (NO) metabolite, n

This paper addresses the topic of site characterization for the design of Shallow Geothermal Energy (SGE) systems, namely of thermoactive geostructures, which are geotechnical structures, such as piles, retaining walls and tunnel linings, also used as heat exchangers as part of closed-loop SGE systems. Such solutions, being increasingly adopted for buildings’ and infrastructures’ heating and/or co

Purpose: Crisis planning and improvements to business resilience are increasingly significant aspects of hotel management. This study investigates the crisis preparation of hotel managers in Malaysia and how their perceptions affect crisis planning and preparation. Design/methodology/approach: A qualitative research method of semi-structured interviews with 24 hospitality managers in Malaysia was
