Boken bygger på en doktorsavhandling från Mannheim 1998 och innehåller en intressant undersökning av den svenska kyrkliga verksamheten i Berlin (den officiella Victoriaförsamlingen) och Wien (den frivilliga Israelsmissionen) under den nationalsocialistiska tiden. Deras hjälpverksamhet för judar eller judekristna markerade distans till regimen och beskrivs som motstånd. Underrubriken lovar dock mer
Prostate specific antigen (PSA) in serum has recently been shown to occur in complex with alpha 1-antichymotrypsin and as an approximately 30 kDa. noncomplexed molecular form. We characterized PSA by 3 different assays in samples from 144 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and 121 with carcinoma of the prostate. One of these noncompetitive assays measured total PSA by detecting PSA c
The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the bone turnover by using bone metabolic markers in relation to previous fracture history and independent of bone mass. Patients and controls were recruited from a population-based study of 193 women, all living in the same city and aged 60, 70, and 80 years. The bone mineral content (BMC) was measured bilaterally in the distal forearm by single-p
Macroporous hydrogels (MHs) have been prepared by cross-linking polymerization of hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) or cross-linking co-polymerization of HEMA with dimethylacrylamide (DMAA) in semi-frozen state. The MHs are elastic and have a unique structure of large interconnected pores with pore sizes up to 100 µm and total porosity of 94–97%, as demonstrated by micro-computed tomography. The st
Static extraction, supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) and Soxhlet extraction were compared for simultaneous extraction of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and nonionic surfactants from house dust. Homogenized office floor dust from a vacuum cleaner dust bag ("standard dust") was used for the evaluation. One portion of the extracts was used for analysis of no
Operation of homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) enginesare very sensitive to timing variations in the combustion of theair-fuel charge mixture and require precise control of the ignitioninstant to run properly. It is therefore essential to understand thecharacteristics of timing variations under various operatingconditions in order to find suitable control strategies. This paperpresent
The cost of energy for drying paper is substantial for the pulp and paper industry, and studies of various strategies for energy cost reductions such as increased energy efficiency, increased heat recovery from the exhaust drying air and reduced cost of the process heat are presented in this thesis. The energy use and cost studies were performed using a block-model based simulation tool developed

The synthesis of bis-gamma-amino acid dibenzobarrelene derivatives (9,10-bis-aminomethyl-11,12-bis-carboxy-dibenzobarrelene) is presented. Bromomethylation of anthracene followed by azide substitution gave 9,10-bis-azidomethylanthracene. Azide reduction, N-Boc protection, and Diels-Alder cycloaddition in DMAD furnished the protected 9,10-bis-aminomethyl-11,12-dicarboxy-dibenzobarrelene derivative,
Background. Islet-produced tissue factor (TF) triggers an adverse clotting reaction, the instant blood-mediated inflammatory reaction (IBMIR), providing a likely explanation for the need of tissue from multiple donors in clinical islet transplantation. In this study, the authors investigated whether compounds previously shown to affect TF and macrophage chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 expression i
The role of the electrode material in the efficiency of direct (non-mediated) bioelectrocatalytic reduction of H2O2, catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is studied and discussed. The variations in direct peroxidase bioelectrocatalysis when coming from carbon/graphite to metal electrodes and oxides, as well as modified electrodes, are analyzed regarding the variations in adsorption/orientatio
By combining suitable water preconcentration techniques and Particle-Induced X-ray Emission analysis (PIXE), we have developed a procedure for multielemental sub-ppb water analysis. The preconcentration step consists of adsorbing the metals in the form of organic chelates onto activated carbon, which is pressed to a tablet and then analysed by PIXE. For very low concentrations and small volumes of
In a previous study (Chemical Physics Letters 2005, 401, 385) we computed the optical rotatory dispersion of (S)-propylene oxide in gas phase and solution using the hierarchy of coupled cluster models CCS, CC2, CCSD, and CC3. Even for the highly correlated CC3 model combined with a flexible basis set, the theoretical gas-phase specific rotation at 355 nm was found to be negative in contrast to the
Reconstitution studies of a protein from domain fragments can furnish important insights into the distinctive role of particular domain interactions and how they affect biophysical properties important for function. Using isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and a number of spectroscopic and chromatographic tools, including CD, fluorescence and NMR spectroscopy, size-exclusion chromatography and
