This article outlines a laboratory study on sulphate resistance of self-compacting concrete (SCC). For this purpose, more than 40 cylinders of concrete were subjected to a solution with sodium sulphate, sea or distilled water during 900 days. Age at start of testing was either 28 or 90 days. Weight and internal fundamental frequency (IFF) were measured. Comparison was done with the corresponding p

Background. The aim of this study was to investigate differences in use of antenatal care in a multi-ethnic population in Malmo, Sweden, over a 4-year period. Age, parity, cohabiting status, use of an interpreter, and tobacco-use were examined to assess the potential effects of confounding factors. Methods. A 4-year (2000-2003) retrospective community-based register study was performed. Low-risk s

We have investigated the electron transfer from reduced tyrosine YD (YDred) and cytochrome b559 to the S2 and S3 states of the water oxidizing complex (WOC) in Photosystem II. The EPR signal of oxidized cyt b559, the S2 state multiline EPR signal and the EPR signal from YD@? were measured to follow the electron transfer to the S2 and S3 states at 245 and 275 K. The majority of the S2 centers was r

Denna rapport behandlar manuella metoder för injustering av passiva, sidokopplade flödesnät med hjälp av differenstryckmätning. För ett normalt värmesystem i en byggnad innebär detta i klartext injustering av stamventiler men inte av radiatorventiler.

Metoder för beräkning av årsvärmebehov med hänsyn till solvärmetillskott för en byggnad eller ett rum.

I denna avhandling behandlas mätning av ventilation, flöden, volymer, luftomsättning samt luftutbytestid och kolvströmningsgrad för olika flödesvägar och strömningssätt i småhus med spårgas. Teori och mät- och beräkningsmetoder utvecklas och tillämpas vid fältmätningar i småhus. Som mätobjekt används allergikeranpassade enplansvillor byggda av LB-hus i Talldalen som är frånluftsventilerade och zon

On the lack of screenwriting tradition in contemporary Swedish cinema.

An analysis of the destruction of Breslau and Königsberg in the Second World War and how they were rebuilt after 1945.

The activity of violaxanthin de-epoxidase has been studied both in isolated thylakoids and after partial purification, as a function of pH and ascorbate concentration. We demonstrate that violaxanthin de-epoxidase has a Km for ascorbate that is strongly dependent on pH, with values of 10, 2.5, 1.0 and 0.3 mM at pH 6.0, 5.5, 5.0 and 4.5, respectively. These values can be expressed as a single Km±0.

OBJECTIVE - The goal of this study was to examine the relationship between serum testosterone levels and insulin sensitivity and mitochondrial function in men, RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS - A total of 60 men (mean age 60.5 +/- 1.2 years) had a detailed hormonal and metabolic evaluation. Insulin sensitivity was measured Using a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp. Mitochondrial function was assessed

During kidney development a multitude of tubular portions is formed. Little knowledge is available by which cellbiological mechanism a cluster of embryonic cells is able to generate the threedimensional structure of a tubule. However, this know-how is most important in tissue engineering approaches such as the generation of an artificial kidney module or for the therapy of renal diseases using ste
