As new systems and applications are introduced for next-generation wireless systems, the propagation channels in which they operate need to be characterized. This paper discusses propagation channels for four types of next-generation systems: (i) distributed Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) and Cooperative MultiPoint (CoMP), systems, which require the characterization of correlation between c
The ambition in this thesis is to try out an alternative language for music didaktik relations during music activity in preschool settings. The aim of the study is to describe and to analyze the didaktiks in music activity in preschool settings. The aim of the study is also on research basis to try out concepts that denote and capture the figuration of music activity. The overall research question
Evolution and ecological diversification in a heterogeneous environment is driven by an often complex interplay between local adaptation and dispersal between different habitat types. Heterogeneous environments also easily generate source-sink dynamics of populations coupled by dispersal. It follows that local adaptation and possible adaptive radiation almost by necessity involves adaptation to a
Popular Abstract in Swedish Bröstcancer är den vanligaste cancerformen bland kvinnor i Sverige. Mer än 7000 kvinnor insjuknar varje år i bröstcancer, och cirka 1500 dör i sjukdomen. Incidensen av bröstcancer har stigit kontinuerligt sedan 1970-talet, och man uppskattar att en av tio kvinnor i Sverige kommer att utveckla bröstcancer någon gång under sin livstid. Den relativa överlevnaden i sjukdomeCancer is a genetic disease that arises when a cell acquires unlimited growth potential through a series of mutational events, which target genes essential for normal cell control and maintenance. Breast cancer is one of the most frequent malignancies in women worldwide, and it is characterized by heterogeneous tumor biology, histological subtypes, variable prognosis and variable responsiveness to

Objectives In this study we examined the association between leptin and blood pressure in a population-based study of Danish and Norwegian children and adolescents. Because of the putative bidirectional relationship between leptin and adiposity we formally tested (i) the mediating effect of body mass index in the association between leptin and blood pressure, and (ii) the mediating effect of lepti
A search for microscopic black holes has been performed in a same-sign dimuon final state using 1.3 fb(-1) of proton-proton collision data collected with the ATLAS detector at a centre of mass energy of 7 TeV at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The data are found to be consistent with the expectation from the Standard Model and the results are used to derive exclusion contours in the context of a l
The term molecular object (MO) is introduced to describe single, shape persistent macromolecules that retain their form and mesoscopic dimensions irrespective of solvent quality and adsorption onto a surface. The concept is illustrated with results concerning homologous series of dendronized polymers (DP). In particular, we discuss imaging experiments quantifying deformation upon adsorption, defec
Deoxyribonucleoside kinases (dNKs) are important to DNA metabolism, especially in environments where nucleosides are freely available to be absorbed and used for the salvage pathway. Little has previously been known about the complement of dNKs in different bacterial genomes. However, it was believed that Gram-negative bacteria had a single dNK, while Gram-positive bacteria possessed several. An a
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm that, if not treated, will progress into blast crisis (BC) of either myeloid or B lymphoid phenotype. The BCR-ABL1 fusion gene, encoding a constitutively active tyrosine kinase, is thought to be sufficient to cause chronic phase (CP) CML, whereas additional genetic lesions are needed for progression into CML BC. To generate a humanize
In depth study of the representation of Winston Churchill in the HBO-films The Gathering Storm (2002) and Into the Storm (2009). Here, Churchill is depicted along the lines of the success of democratic liberalism post 1989.
EPR spectroscopy has proven to be an indispensable tool in elucidating the structure of metal sites in proteins. In recent years, experimental EPR data have been complemented by theoretical calculations, which have become a standard tool of many quantum chemical packages. However, there have only been a few attempts to calculate EPR g tensors for exchange-coupled systems with more than two spins.
Background: Amyloidosis is a heterogeneous disease caused by deposition of amyloid fibrils in organs and thereby interfering with physiological functions. Hardly any incidence data are available and most survival data are limited to specialist clinics. Methods: Amyloidosis patients were identified from the Swedish Hospital Discharge and Outpatients Registers from years 2001 through 2008. Results:
Growth factors control cellular growth, proliferation, and differentiation and may have therapeutic applications. In this study, we focus on Meteorin which is a member of a largely uncharacterized evolutionary conserved two-member growth factor family. Our analysis shows that Meteorin is expressed in the central nervous system both during development and in adult mice. Detailed immunohistological
Patients waiting for heart transplantation due to a failing heart can get a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implanted through open chest surgery. The device consists of a pump that pumps blood from the left ventricle into the aorta. To get the correct rotation speed of the pump, the physicians consider a number of measurements as well as a sequence of echocardiographic images. The important
Predicted climate change implies warmer weather and a higher frequency of extreme weather situations. The consequences of the warm July in 2003 was investigated in contrast to the cold July in 2004 in southern Sweden with focus on the dispersal rate of two species of burnet moths (Zygaenidae). During an extensive mark-release-recapture program in metapopulations of burnet moths substantial differe
