Fatty acids are found in many solutions treated in ultrafiltration plants, for example, in dairy products, fermentation broth, oily waste water and bleach plant effluents from pulp mills. The influence of fatty acids on the fouling of membranes is often ignored because their concentration is rather low. However, during recent years the significant influence of fatty acids on the flux reduction of
Production of bioethanol from forest and agricultural products requires a fermenting organism that converts all types of sugars in the raw material to ethanol in high yield and with a high rate. This review summarizes recent research aiming at developing industrial strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with the ability to ferment all lignocellulose-derived sugars. The properties required from the in
Författarna har undersökt kvalster, hoppstjärtar och andra ryggradslösa djur på lavar som växer på stenmurar på Ölands alvar. Åtta olika kvalsterarter hittades. Generellt sett var vissa typer av lavar betydligt artrikare än andra. De rikaste är de som har strukturer som de små djuren kan gömma sig i.
Objective. Acute pancreatitis starts as an autodigestive process restricted to the pancreas and progresses to a systemic inflammation via cytokine release into the blood stream. Several inhibitors of the coagulation cascade, including active- siteinactivated factor VIIa, have shown anti- inflammatory properties in other inflammatory models than acute pancreatitis. Free radical scavengers have prov
We propose a technique integrating test scheduling, scan chain partitioning and test access mechanism (TAM) design minimizing the test time and the TAM routing cost while considering test conflicts and power constraints. Main features of our technique are (1) the flexibility in modelling the systems test behaviour and (2) the support for interconnection test of unwrapped cores and user-defined log
Different types of colonic dysganglionosis, and in particular intestinal neuronal dysplasia (IND) have been blamed for certain postoperative complications after surgery for Hirschsprung's disease (HD). We prospectively assessed colon innervation above the aganglionic zone (AZ) before proceeding to pull-through (PT) in order to rule-out IND as a cause of those complications. We first used a two-sta
The application of gold-coated glass capillaries for the design of a sensitive chemiluminescent immunoassay for 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) is reported. The gold coating on the glass capillaries has been partially characterized and its effect on enhancing the signal intensity has been measured. A simple photo-multiplier tube-based photon detector is used for this purpose. At least three
We give a simpler proof of the formula, due to J.-L. Lions, for the reproducing kernel of the space of harmonic functions on a domain Omegasubset ofR(n) whose boundary values belong to the Sobolev space H-s(partial derivativeOmega), and also obtain generalizations of this formula when instead of harmonic functions one considers functions annihilated by a given elliptic partial differential operato
Vibronic coupling in solid C60 has been investigated with a combination of resonant photoemission spectroscopy (RPES) and resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS). Excitation as a function of energy within the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital resonance yielded strong oscillations in intensity and dispersion in RPES, and a strong inelastic component in RIXS. Reconciling these two observations
Objectives: To describe a nationwide system for postmarketing follow up of new antirheumatic drugs in Sweden, and to analyse safety and effectiveness in an etanercept treated patient cohort. Methods: Etanercept became available in Sweden for prescribing on a named patient basis in 1999. All patients treated were included in a follow up of intensified adverse event reporting and recording of clinic
Over a period of three years, at least three different males of Common Redstarts Phoenicurus phoenicurus in southern Sweden mimicked the song of Scarlet Rosefinch Carpodacus erythrinus. At least two of the Redstarts were second calendar year birds that were heard to mimic Rosefinch song in spring long before the arrival of the local breeding population of Scarlet Rosefinch. Since Redstarts and Ros
Squid cranial cartilage has been found to contain three different proteoglycan populations, two of which form aggregates (Vynios, D.H. and Tsiganos, C. P., Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1033: 139-147, 1990). The aggregation involves interaction of their protein cores as assessed by electron microscopy and biochemical data. Aggregating oligopeptides were isolated after mild trypsin digestion which inhibit
This thesis concerns the numerical approximation of the solutions to hyperbolic conservation laws. In particular the research work focuses on reconstruction techniques; the reconstruction being the key ingredient in modern finite volume schemes aiming to increase spatial order of accuracy. To better conform to the nature of the solutions to the hyperbolic problems, the reconstructing fu
