This study was undertaken in order to compare regional cerebral blood now (rCBF) and EEG findings of patients with clinically diagnosed dementia with Lewy bodies (clinDLB) and Alzheimer’s disease (clinAD). Furthermore, within the clinDLB group to compare cases with and without neuropathologically verified Lewy bodies (LBs). When we studied 200 dementia cases in a prospective longitudinal dementia
We present a formulation of the scattering matrix method for spin-dependent electron transport in a quantum waveguide with spin-orbit interaction (SOI). All the required Hamiltonian matrices needed in the implementation of the formulation are represented in a basis of the transverse spatial eigenstates and the spin eigenstates of the leads. Thus the method has great flexibility and can be easily a
Objective. To investigate in a prospective study the relationship between age, pre-operative status, waiting time and post-operative outcome in patients assigned for unilateral total hip replacement (THR) due to osteoarthritis (OA). Method. One hundred and forty-eight patients (mean age 71 yr) with primary OA of the hip were investigated pre-operatively and 3, 6 and 12 months post-operatively with
It is of great interest and importance how different amino acid residues contribute to and affect the properties of a protein surface, Partitioning in aqueous two-phase systems has the potential to be used as a rapid and simple method for studying the surface properties of proteins. The influence on partitioning of the surface exposed amino acid residues of eight structurally determined monomeric
Ja visst gör det ont när kommunala mål brister, …åtminstone om vi får tro andemeningen i de nya texterna avseende god ekonomisk hushållning som återfinns i kommunallagen och lagen om kommunal redovisning. Som bekant skall budgetens planer för verksamhet och ekonomi numera innehålla mål och riktlinjer och utvärdering av målen skall ske i årsredovisningens förvaltningsberättelse, allt i syfte att st
Vacancy-oxygen (VO) complexes in Ge crystals have been studied by means of high-resolution infrared absorption and deep-level transient spectroscopy (Laplace DLTS) measurements. It is argued that the VO center in Ge has three charge states: double negative (VO--), single negative (VO-) and neutral (VO0) with the corresponding energy levels at E(- -/-) = E-c-0.21 eV and E(-/0) = E-v + 0.27 eV. Abso
Spherical vector waves are used to analyze multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antennas. An expansion of the far-field pattern in spherical vector waves gives the correlation matrix and correlation loss of the MIMO antenna in uniform multipath channels. Numerical examples of a MIMO tetrahedron and a MIMO cube are presented.
The high-resolution infrared absorption spectrum of an equilibrium mixture of HCN and HCl in a static gas long-path absorption cell is recorded in the 2500 2900 cm(-1) spectral region at 205 K. The spectrum shows rovibrational structure which has the typical appearance of a parallel band of a linear molecule and is assigned to the intramolecular H-Cl stretching vibration band upsilon(2) of the lin
The stereoselective reduction of the bicyclic diketone bicyclo[2.2.2]octane-2,6-dione, to the ketoalcohol (1R,4S,6S)-6-hydroxybicyclo[2.2.2]octane-2-one, was used as a model reduction to optimize parameters involved in NADPH-dependent reductions in Saccharomyces cerevisiae with glucose as co-substrate. The co-substrate yield (ketoalcohol formed/glucose consumed) was affected by the initial concent
In the present work, we propose a theory for obtaining successively better approximations to the linear response functions of time-dependent density or current-density functional theory. The new technique is based on the variational approach to many-body perturbation theory (MBPT) as developed during the sixties and later expanded by us in the mid-nineties. Due to this feature, the resulting respo
Electron transfer (ET) of ligninolytic peroxidases was studied in the bioelectrocatalytic reduction reaction of H2O2 at peroxidase-modified graphite electrodes. Specifically, native lignin (LiP) and manganese (MnP) peroxidases secreted by Phanerochaete chrysosporium, as well as a few different recombinant MnP forms were used in the electrochemical studies. The recombinant enzymes included wild-typ
The rotational capacity of a plastic hinge is analysed by means of a new approach, where the strain localization in the compression zone is taken into account. This leads to a strong size dependency of the rotational capacity. Comparisons with test results confirm this conclusion.
In this work, a three-dimensional computational method has been further developed for a composite duct, to analyze water phase change and liquid water saturation level, two-phase flow and heat transfer in a multi-component mixture. The duct under consideration consists of a flow duct, porous layer and solid structure. Advanced boundary conditions are applied in the analysis, concerning the thermal
Popular Abstract in Swedish Sjukdomar som drabbar hjärtats kranskärl och ger upphov till bland annat hjärtinfarkt är den vanligaste dödsorsaken både i Sverige och i resten av världen. Avsikten med denna avhandling är att ge en bild av livskvaliteten hos hjärtpatienter samt att ta upp problem inom medicinsk etik, som berör dessa patienter. Män och kvinnor som vårdats för hjärtinfarkt vid UniversiteOne month and one year after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) (n=296), coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) (n=99) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (n=18) patients completed a questionnaire for self-assessment of quality of life (QoL) during the period 1989?1991. Patients differed from age- and sex-matched controls (n=88) in both somatic and emotional dimensions, but less after one
