This study aimed to find out how the insulation of the footwear changes over one week of use. A thermal foot model with 8 measuring zones and 5 “sweat glands” was used for tests. A thin sock was donned on the model to allow better water distribution all over the foot surface. Four boots were tested over a period of 5 days. Each day was divided into 9 hour measurement period and 15 hour conditionin

The gain profile of a quantum cascade laser is strongly influenced by the lifetime of the carriers in the upper and lower laser state. The quantitative description of gain within the concept of nonequilibrium Green's functions allows for a detailed understanding of various features affecting the gain spectrum: Compensation effects between scattering processes in the upper and lower laser level, re

As the Human Proteome Project has outlined currently many research groups worldwide dedicated resources to focus on the completion of the human proteome catalogue. According to the project directives, not only all products of ca. 20,300 protein coding genes should be identified but also at least one splicing variant, one single nucleotide polymorphism product and some major post-translational modi

The Energy using products (EuP) directive proposed by the European Commission is often referred to as "the first Integrated Product Policy (IPP) directive". The main purpose of the directive is to ensure the free movement of EuP in the internal market as well as to improve the environmental performance of products throughout their life cycle. Product groups likely to be addressed through the direc

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vävnadskallikrein (VK) är ett äggvitespjälkande protein som dels kan aktivera vävnadsnedbrytande enzymer som kollagenas och gelatinas och dels spjälkar kininogen till kininer (bradykinin och kallidin). Via bindning till speciella kininreceptorer (B2 receptorer) som finns överallt i kroppen, styr kininerna olika processer i de flesta av kroppens organ och vävnader såsom Tissue kallikrein releases pharmacollogically highly active kinins from kininogen. Many other enzymes may also release kinins. The aim of the study was to clarify the pathophysiological role of tissue kallikrein in acute pancreatitis. Two sensitive and specific radioimmunoassays for porcine and human tissue kallikrein were developed. A large release of tissue kallikrein from the pancreatic gland

While there is general agreement on the necessity tomeasure glomerular filtration rate (GFR) inmany clinical situations, there is less agreement on the bestmethod to achieve this purpose. As the gold standardmethod for GFR determination, urinary (or renal) clearance of inulin, fades into the background due to inconvenience and high cost, a diversity of filtrationmarkers and protocols compete to re

A reliable assessment of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is of paramount importance in clinical practice as well as epidemiological and clinical research settings. It is recommended by Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes guidelines in specific populations (anorectic, cirrhotic, obese, renal and non-renal transplant patients) where estimation equations are unreliable. Measured GFR is the onl

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to present numerical investigation of the gas/vapor bubble dynamics under the influence of an ultrasonic field to give a more comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon and present new results Design/methodology/approach - In order to formulate the mathematical model, a set of governing equations for the gas inside the bubble and the liquid surrounding it

An increasing number of patients are successfully resuscitated from cardiac arrest (CA) and subsequently treated in an intensive care unit due to unconsciousness. Approximately half of these patients will die during the first weeks postarrest, typically after a determination of a poor neurologic prognosis and a decision to withdraw life-sustaining therapy (WLST). These decisions are guided by univ
