The linewidths of the π and σ bands originating from the electron-phonon coupling in graphene are analyzed based on model calculations and experimental angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) data. We find evidence for crucial contributions to the lifetime broadening from interband scattering π→σ and σ→π, respectively, driven by the out-of-plane ZA acoustic phonons. The essential feature

Asymmetric nuclear collisions of p+Al, p+Au, d+Au, and 3He+Au at √sNN=200 GeV provide an excellent laboratory for understanding particle production, as well as exploring interactions among these particles after their initial creation in the collision. We present measurements of charged hadron production dNch/dη in all such collision systems over a broad pseudorapidity range and as a function of co

The number of mitoses per high power field (mitotic index, MI) was assessed in 2 νm sections of lymph node biopsies from 58 adults with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. All had diffuse nodal lymphomas of unfavourable histology and stage II-IV disease. The patients were treated with chemotherapy and followed for a minimum of 3 years or until death. None out of 29 patients with a MI ≥ 3.0 survived for 3 year

CD83 is one of the best-known surface markers for fully mature dendritic cells (mature DCs), and its cell-type- and maturation-specific regulation makes the CD83 promoter an interesting tool for the genetic modulation of DCs. To determine the mechanisms regulating this DC- and maturation-specific CD83 expression, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-on-chip microarray, biocomputational, reporter,

Women with malignant lymphoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and Hodgkin's disease were of a significantly later age at first full-term pregnancy (AFFP) than controls without malignant disorders. The odds ratio (OR) of having the first pregnancy at 30 years of fertility was 6.4 for women with malignant lymphoma. This ratio was higher than the ratio of 3.9 in a group of breast cancer patients. A low parit

European Spallation Source (ESS) will deliver neutrons at high flux for use in diverse neutron scattering techniques. The neutron source facility and the scientific instruments will be located in Lund, and the Data Management and Software Centre (DMSC), in Copenhagen. A number of detector prototypes are being developed at ESS together with its European in-kind partners, for example: SoNDe, Multi-G

Abstract: The heat production rate in peripheral blood lymphocytes was evaluated by direct calorimetry in 76 untreated adults with non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Elevated values were recorded for 20 out of 54 patients with lymphomas of high or intermediate malignancy grade (37%) and for 1 out of 22 patients (5%) with low grade lymphomas (p = 0.01). Median survival was 39 months for patients with no

Purpose: This paper aims to explore how the ownership transfer from a highly industrialised country to less industrialised countries influences consumers’ brand perceptions. Design/methodology/approach: Three acquisition cases of premium car brands (Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo) are investigated using qualitative data from online brand communities. Findings: When country of ownership (COOW) for br

The national Swedish cancer registry was used to analyse the age-specific time trends in breast cancer incidence in Sweden from 1970 to 1984. The analysis included both a calendar year and a birth cohort approach to estimate time trends in disease occurrence. According to the birth cohort approach there was a statistically significant increase in the incidence with an average annual increase of th

Abstract: 6 patients with non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma [3 with small cell lymphocytic lymphoma of B‐cell type (SL), and 1 each with follicular centroblastic/centrocytic, centroblastic, and immunoblastic lymphoma] and with the acquired cytogenetic abnormalities del(14) (q22) or del(14) (q24) are described. An evaluation of these 6 cases and 41 other lymphatic neoplasms with 14q deletion known from the li

This paper presents the results of a survey on assisted evacuation conducted with 120 hospital staff members in Sweden. Staff members included people with different roles in the hospital (e.g. doctors, nurses, department heads, etc.). The survey consisted of a questionnaire aiming at investigating the factors which affect assisted evacuation in hospitals and the current status of assisted evacuati

Gonadal and hypophyseal hormones were investigated in 15 males with breast cancer and 15 tumour referents, on average 1 month postoperatively. Plasma prolactin was found to be significantly more often elevated in men with breast cancer compared with referents (p

The distance of sprinklers below ceiling is of fundamental importance since it has a great influence on activation time. Accepted distances are specified in different sprinkler standards such as NFPA 13, FM 2-0 and EN 12845 for different configurations. This distance is unambiguously defined for flat smooth ceilings, but for corrugated ceilings, such as corrugated metal deck ceilings found in many

Estrogen (ER) and progesterone receptors (PgR) were measured in the same laboratory in more than 4000 breast cancer biopsy samples obtained from 15 different hospitals during ten years. ER was measured with isoelectric focusing and PgR with the dextran-coated charcoal method and Scatchard analysis. The distribution pattern for both ER and PgR was during this time period and for the different hospi

External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS) represent a popular modern facade for reducing energy consumption, particularly in retrofit applications. Insulation - typically in the form of either EPS (expanded polystyrene) or mineral wool - is applied to the exterior of buildings using mortar adhesive, and then coated with a final layer of sand-cement render and glass fibre reinforcement.
