The possibility of a “death from above” cause for biotic crises and extinction events is intriguing, to say the least, but such claims must be supported by reliable and reproducible data, not only impact diagnostic criteria, but also accurate and precise radioisotopic ages of the impact structures/events. To date, only one example of such an impact-related global extinction event is confirmed, at
The meteoritic material falling on Earth is believed to derive from large break-up or cratering events in the asteroid belt. The flux of extraterrestrial material would then vary in accordance with the timing of such asteroid family-forming events. In order to validate this, we investigated marine sediments representing 15 time-windows in the Phanerozoic for content of micrometeoritic relict chrom
Infrared and collinear safe event shape distributions and their mean values are determined in e(+)e(-) collisions at centre-of-mass energies between 45 and 202GeV. A phenomenological analysis based on power correction models including hadron mass effects for both differential distributions and mean values is presented. Using power corrections, alpha(s) is extracted from the mean values and shapes.

The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY): genetic criteria and international diabetes risk screening of 421 000 infants. Aims: The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) study seeks to identify environm
Background: One key aspect of person-centredness is striving to understand both the patients' experiences and behaviours from their perspective. These aspects are precisely those that staff in dementia care highlight as causing them most difficulty because the people in their care have major problems expressing themselves. There is thus a need to develop a method to help the staff to achieve inter
The activated forms of the complement lectin pathway (LP) proteases MASP-1 and -2 are able to cleave the coagulation factors prothrombin, fibrinogen, factor XIII and TAFI in vitro. In vivo studies also show that MASP-1 is involved in thrombogenesis, OBJECTIVES: To clarify the not yet identified mechanisms involved in triggering activation of the LP during thrombotic reactions.
We investigated the cortical bone changes in 35 patients with total hip arthroplasty operated on only for osteoarthritis with more than 10 years of follow-up and with nonrevised femoral components and without radiologic signs of loosening. The mean follow-up was 16 ± 5 years. The thicknesses of femoral cortices were measured medially and laterally at 6 levels from the first postoperative and the l
Objective:To investigate the prevalence and the secular trends of obesity in a rural Swedish community with emphasis on the association with socioeconomic status and lifestyle.Design:The Skaraborg Project cross-sectional population surveys were conducted in Vara, a rural community in the southwest of Sweden, every fifth year between 1977 and 2002.Subjects:A total of 3365 residents (1634 men and 17
BACKGROUND: In locally advanced rectal cancer, 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU)-based chemoradiation is the standard treatment. The main acute toxicity of this treatment is enteritis. Due to its potential radiosensitizing properties, oxaliplatin has recently been incorporated in many clinical chemoradiation protocols. The aim of this study was to investigate to what extent 5-FU and oxaliplatin influence the
The study aims to establish the effectiveness of the Danish destination certification scheme – Destination 21. In order to accomplish this, an analytical framework, based upon current tourism and development theory, was constructed against which the scheme was tested. The analytical framework consists from three analyses examining the schemes framework, substance and applicability. It was found th
Mandibular autopsy specimens were examined with different radiographic techniques in order to evaluate the visibility of the mandibular canal and the measurement accuracy of distances related to the mandibular canal. Hypocycloidal, spiral and computed tomography (CT) were superior to periapical and panoramic radiography in visualising the mandibular canal. The tomographic techniques were more accu
While Lars Norén’s confrontational and self-exposing En dramatikers dagbok (A Dramatist’s Journal, 2008) already has spurred discussions on the nature of confession in today’s mediatised literary public sphere, less has been said about the aesthetic project of the journal. By tracing this project back to Norén’s poetry of the 1960s as well as by comparing it to works by Lyn Hejinian and Kenneth Go
