Introduction Chronic rejection (CHR) of organ allografts, one of the most significant problems in modern transplantation, is not fully understood. This study sought to evaluate the influence of selected parameters on late kidney transplant function. Patients and Method The studied group consisted of eighty-six patients who received allogeneic transplants between 1988 and 1999 for leukocyte Chlam

Popular Abstract in Swedish Typ 2 diabetes (även kallat sockersjuka eller åldersdiabetes) är en av våra vanligaste förekommande folksjukdomar och ungefär 5% av alla människor beräknas ha sjukdomen. Typ 2 diabetes karakteriseras av kroniskt förhöjda blodsocker-nivåer som orsakas dels av en oförmåga hos insulin att befrämja blodsockerupptag i dess målvävnader, fett och muskel, och dels av en oförmågType 2 diabetes mellitus is a multifactorial disorder characterized by chronic hyperglycemia resulting from pancreatic dysfunction and insulin resistance. It is a common disorder with a complex pattern of inheritance, likely to reflect the influence of multiple genetic and environmental factors on the diabetes risk. The aim of thesis was to identify genetic risk factors for type 2 diabetes. In a g

Solar steam turbines are subject to high thermal stresses as a result of temperature gradients during transient operation, which occurs more frequently due to the variability of the solar resource. In order to increase the flexibility of the turbines while preserving lifing requirements, several operational modifications for maintaining turbine temperatures during offline periods are proposed and

As custom architectures become more and more common for DSP applications, instruction selection and scheduling for such applications and architectures become important topics. In this paper, we explore the effects of defining the problem of finding an optimal instruction selection and scheduling as a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP). We incorporate methods based on sub-graph isomorphism and g

Increased understanding of membrane proteins is important for characterization of biochemical processes. Improved membrane protein isolation methods is a key issue for effective functional and structural determination of the large amount of unknown membrane proteins. In this thesis, a novel approach towards selective membrane protein purification is introduced. Polymer induced micelle extraction

This paper presents a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) implementation of a new multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) signal detection algorithm applicable to ultra-high throughput MIMO communication systems. The algorithm simplifies the computation significantly compared to traditional K-Best algorithm, and with negligible bit error ratio (BER) degradation. A highly-parallel structure is imple

Sockerproduktionen tillhör de sektorer inom EU som erhållit de högsta stöden inom ramen för den gemensamma jordbrukspolitiken. Motståndet mot en reform har därför av förklarliga skäl varit stort från främst råvaruproducenterna samtidigt som reformkraven växt sig allt starkare. När nu EU har lyckats få majoritet för ett steg i en reformering av sockerregleringen innebär detta ett väsentligt genombr

Decision-making in requirements engineering often needs to be done in the presence of uncertainty. Rigorous methods can help to increase the probability of making the most appropriate decisions under the given circumstances. Robustness is a measure for the degree of stability of a solution in case of changes in the problem parameters. This paper presents a method (called DECIDERelease) that applie
