Hibernomas are benign tumors with morphological features resembling brown fat. They consistently display cytogenetic rearrangements, typically translocations, involving chromosome band 11q13. Here we demonstrate that these aberrations are associated with concomitant deletions of AIP and MEN1, tumor suppressor genes that are located 3 Mb apart and that underlie the hereditary syndromes pituitary ad

Upcycling is a process in which used or waste products and materials are repaired, reused, repurposed, refurbished, upgraded and remanufactured in a creative way to add value to the compositional elements. It has been part of human life throughout history, and the past few years have seen its revival, driven by multiple factors including growing concern for the environment and resource scarcity. U

Drought in Australia has widespread impacts on agriculture and ecosystems. Satellite-based Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FAPAR) has great potential to monitor and assess drought impacts on vegetation greenness and health. Various FAPAR products based on satellite observations have been generated and made available to the public. However, differences remain among these d

Two Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Multisatellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA) products i.e. 3-hourly TRMM 3B42 and monthly 3B43 data were validated using 39 rain gauge stations in the Caspian Sea Region (CSR) in Iran with complex topography. The period 1999-2003 were selected. The validations were performed at monthly and annual scales. Results showed that both TRMM 3B42 and 3B43 can

Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) arrays are becoming critical elements in cellular base station infrastructure. We utilize the theory of characteristic modes (TCM) to design a novel tri-modal broadside antenna element which is suitable for the construction of compact massive MIMOarrays. The proposed antenna element consists of three ports which is formed by reviewing an existing compa

An experimental test system including the oil circulation system and the gas circuit system has been designed and built to explore the effects of the lubricating oil flow rate on the performance of a single-screw compressor, used in a portable natural gas liquefaction process. Outlet pressure, outlet volumetric flow rate, volumetric efficiency, and specific power rate are the parameters for evalua

This book provides the first comprehensive discussion of conflicts between legal bases in EU law. It fills an important gap in the existing literature on the choice of legal basis in EU law by analysing the structure of legal bases and the resulting legal basis litigation in the European Union, thus identifying areas of conflict produced by overlapping competences, divergent inter-institutional in

"Med tanke på att uppvärmningen redan nått cirka en grad, är de närmaste tio årens beslut, investeringar och andra åtgärder avgörande”, skriver fyra forskare.

While biometric authentication for commercial use so far mainly has been used for local device unlock use cases, there are great opportunities for using it also for central authentication such as for remote login. However, many current biometric sensors like for instance mobile fingerprint sensors have too large false acceptance rate (FAR) not allowing them, for security reasons, to be used in lar

Enzymes were deposited on different porous support materials and these preparations were used to catalyze reactions in organic media. Reactions were carried out at specific water activities, achieved by equilibrating both the enzyme preparation and the substrate solution at the desired water activity before mixing them and thereby starting the reactions. The reaction rates obtained at the same wat

The overall aim of this thesis is to examine how walking as a transport mode is constructed in the planning realm, affected by the built environment and perceived by the individual. This aim is related to the following research questions: (1) How are pedestrians and walking understood, constructed and perceived in the planning context? (2) How does individual traits and the built environment affec

Abstract: Administrative regions do not necessarily correspond to areas that are homogenous in terms of innovation intensity. Although this has been recognized in the literature, quantitative evidence that explicitly considers this problem is rare. Using spatial exploratory analysis on detailed regional data derived from a census of R&D performers in the Czech Republic, we identify local spati

Nonparametric efficiency analysis has become a widely applied technique to support industrial benchmarking as well as a variety of incentive-based regulation policies. In practice such exercises are often plagued by incomplete knowledge about the correct specifications of inputs and outputs.

The palaeoproterozoic Northwestern region of the Ukrainian shield hosts two compositional types of mafic dykes and associated magmatism that intruded at c. 1800–1760 Ma: (1) high-Ni dolerite dykes and layered intrusions of tholeiitic affinity and (2) high-Ti dolerite dykes of jotunitic affinity associated with anorthosite–mangerite–charnockite–granite (AMCG) suites. The jotunitic dykes represent i
