The Iberian Slug, Arion lusitanicus Mabille (Stylomatophora: Arionidae), has developed into a destructive pest in Swedish gardens and orchards over the past 10-20 years. Many attempts to eradicate this pest have been made using a variety of different methods. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of two different types of homemade traps made from simple, inexpensive materials
X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is an immunodeficiency caused by mutations in the gene coding for Bruton's agammaglobulinemia tyrosine kinase (BTK). A database (BTKbase) of BTK mutations has been compiled and the recent update lists 368 entries from 318 unrelated families showing 228 unique molecular events. In addition to mutations the database lists also some polymorphisms and site-directed mu
The glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF)-family of neurotrophic factors consisted until recently of three members, GDNF, neurturin, and persephin. We describe here the cloning of a new GDNF-family member, neublastin (NBN), identical to artemin (ART), recently published (Baloh et al., 1998). Addition of NBN/ART to cultures of fetal mesencephalic dopamine (DA) neurons increased the num
Growing evidence shows that alcohol triggers paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) in some patients. How-ever, there is a lack of methods for assessing the causality between triggers and atrial fibrillation (AF) episodes. Accordingly, this work aims to develop an approach to episode modeling under the influence of alcohol for the purpose of evaluating causality assessment methods. The alternating,
Analysis of structures subjected to moving loads is presented. In particular, structural effects due to structure-vehicle interaction are studied. The basic equations of the structure-vehicle system are derived by means of continuum mechanics, the finite element method and multibody dynamics.In order to consider the interaction between structure and vehicle in a straightforward way, a special stru
The lung is a vital and dynamic organ that serves as a critical first barrier to environmental stimuli and facilitates gas exchange from birth until death. Developmental or genetic defects that impair lung function severely impact quality of life. Minor defects present in early life increase the likelihood that patients will develop chronic lung diseases in adulthood that have no cure. Current the
The European Society of Organ Transplantation (ESOT) strives to promote equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) across all its activities. We surveyed the transplant community’s experiences and perspectives regarding EDI within ESOT as an organization and its educational activities, and research in general. A total of 299 respondents completed the questionnaire. About half agreed that ESOT’s Execut
Over the last decade, scholarly attention has turned to the humanities’ collective past with renewed energy and sense of purpose. As a result, a new field of research, the history of the humanities, has crystalized and received broad international attention. In this forum, we take a special interest in the question of where the history of the humanities is heading. And where do we want it to go? I
Brain and behavioural lateralization at the population level has been recently hypothesized to have evolved under social selective pressures as a strategy to optimize coordination among asymmetrical individuals. Evidence for this hypothesis have been collected in Hymenoptera: eusocial honey bees showed olfactory lateralization at the population level, whereas solitary mason bees only showed indivi
Chemical conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into value-added products is an attractive industrial process because it offers several economic and environmental advantages. This review presents advances and challenges in the CO2 and propylene oxide (PO) co-polymerization using heterogeneous catalysts to form poly (propylene carbonate) (PPC), an environmentally friendly polymer with several applicati

Heat Transfer topics are commonly of a very complex nature. Often different mechanisms like heat conduction, convection, thermal radiation, and non-linear phenomena, such as temperature-dependent thermophysical properties, and phase changes occur simultaneously. New developments in numerical solution methods of partial differential equations and access to high-speed, efficient and cheap computers
The marking of finiteness has long been known to differ between first language (L1) and adult second language (aL2) acquisition. Therefore this phenomenon is interesting in the study of whether child second language (cL2) acquisition proceeds like L1 or like aL2 (Meisel 2008), or perhaps in some way between the two. This is interesting for current discussions on differences due to the Age of Onset
Abstract in UndeterminedModern standard written Chinese has two common object markers, ba and jiang. Both markers appear to have been widely used in the spoken language of the Tang dynasty. Today jiang has disappeared from the dialects and subdialects of northern China and it is mainly used in the Yue dialect (Cantonese). Object marker ba in vernacular-oriented writings has gradually replaced jian
