Abstract in UndeterminedThe secreted protein Dickkopf-1 (Dkk1) is an antagonist of canonical Wnt signaling, expressed during fracture healing. It is unclear how it is involved in the mechanical control of bone maintenance. We investigated the response to administration of a Dkk1 neutralizing antibody (Dkk1-ab) in metaphyseal bone under different loading conditions, with or without trauma. In this

The friction stir welding procedure to seal copper canisters requires variable power input throughout the 45 minute long weld cycle to keep the welding temperature within the process window. This is due to variable thermal boundary conditions throughout the weld cycle which, together with fast disturbances in the spindle torque, requires control of both the power input and the welding temperature

The Swedish concept of folkbildning (the ‘bildung’ of the people) and its introduction in the mid-1900th century was connected to the advent of Folkhögskolan (the popular adult education) with explicit as well as implicit references to the Danish philosopher Gruntvig’s ideals of education.

In this paper, an initial attempt is made to describe typological characteristics of emotion and perception and form an initial classification. Verbal constructions expressing emotion and perception normally have a slightly different argument structure in comparison wi

A description of the set up and the functioning of Swedish Equality bodies and an analysis of whether or not the setup complied to the demands of the three directives.

The implementation of the Biofuels Directive (2003/30/EC) in the 25 member states is assessed against the background of implementation theory in this paper. The aim is to identify and analyze implementation problems for the purpose of suggesting a way forward for biofuels policy in the European Union. Three main patterns of policy implementation are observed: effective implementation, formal compl
