Presents a two-dimensional stochastic convection-diffusion model for use in real-time prediction of the space-time rainfall structure in urban areas. The model is used to parameterize the rainfall intensity from individual rain cells. Especially, we are interested to quantify the rainfall intensity resulting from different separable components of the rain cell. This is done by a Lagrangian approac
The Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal (Sgr dSph) galaxy is currently being accreted and disrupted by the tidal field of the Milky Way. Recent observations have shown that the central region of the dwarf hosts at least three different stellar populations, ranging from old and metal-poor over intermediate metal-rich to young metal-rich. While the intermediate-age metal-rich population has been identified
Symmetry-breaking charge separation in molecular materials has attracted increasing attention for optoelectronics based on single-material active layers. To this end, Fe(III) complexes with particularly electron-donating N-heterocyclic carbene ligands offer interesting properties with a 2LMCT excited state capable of oxidizing or reducing the complex in its ground state. In this Communication, we
Chondroblastoma and chondromyxoid fibroma are benign but locally aggressive bone tumors. Chondroblastoma, a destructive lesion with a thin radiodense border, is usually seen in the epiphysis of long bones. Chondromyxoid fibroma presents as a bigger, lucent, loculated lesion with a sharp sclerotic margin in the metaphysis of long bones. Although uncommon, these tumors can be challenging to manage.
UV (240-370 nm) and IR (3200-1500 cm-1) absorption cross-sections of HCHO, HCDO, and DCDO in abath gas of N2 at atmospheric pressure and 296 K are reported from simultaneous measurements in the twospectral regions. Cross-sections were placed on an absolute scale through quantitative conversion offormaldehyde to CO and HCOOH by titration with Br atoms, also monitored by FTIR. The integrated UVabsor
The bacterial superantigen (SAg) staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) is a potent inducer of CTL activity and cytokine production in vivo. To engineer SAg for cancer immunotherapy, we genetically fused SEA to a Fab fragment of the C215 tumor-reactive antibody. Strong reduction of lung metastasis was seen in mice carrying established lung metastases of the poorly immunogenic B16-C215 melanoma after F
Scaling up of Lipozyme-catalyzed ester synthesis with >99% conversion and a reflux trap to remove product water from the reaction mixture is reported. Ethyl stearate was synthesized in 2000-g batch reactions from technical stearic acid. The ethyl stearate was purified to 97% by crystallization and interesterified with sunflower seed oil by means of a lipase catalyst to investigate reaction paramet
The recruitment of antigen-specific T lymphocytes to the intestinal mucosa is central to the development of an effective mucosal immune response, yet the mechanism by which this process occurs remains to be fully defined. Here we show that the CC chemokine receptor 9 (CCR9) is selectively and functionally expressed on murine alpha(E)beta(7)(+) naive CD8alphabeta(+) lymphocytes and a subset of rece
The interaction between UV-B irradiation and cutaneous human papillomaviruses (HPV) has been suggested to be of relevance for the development of non-melanoma skin cancers. We investigated the activity within the upstream regulatory region (URR) of the HPV types 8, 38, 92, 93 and 96, as well as their responsiveness to UV-B irradiation and cellular differentiation. Promoter activities were higher in

Popular Abstract in Swedish Antikroppar är proteiner som ingår i kroppens immunförsvar, där de fungerar som bindare för att neutralisera patogena mikroorganismer eller ämnen som infekterat kroppen. Vid en infektion börjar immunceller producera antikroppar genom att på ett smart sätt sätta ihop olika gener. Varje enskild immuncell använder en viss kombination av gener och producerar därmed antikropRecombinant antibody microarrays have advanced into indispensable tools for large-scale, high-throughput multiplexed serum proteomics. This thesis, based upon five original papers, deals with the development of an in-house designed antibody microarray platform, and its applications for serum profiling of pancreatic disease. Pancreatic cancer is the 4th deadliest cancer, with a 5-year survival rat
Popular Abstract in Swedish Uppsättningen av gener i DNA, genomet, kan betraktas som drivande för konstruktionen av varje levande varelse, medan motsvarande proteiner, proteomet, är materiellt ansvariga för de flesta biologiska processer. Kort sagt, gener bestämmer vad celler ”ska kunna göra” medan proteiner definierar vad varje cell "gör" ur en funktionell synvinkel. Aktiviteten hos dessa molekylAmongst the various –omics sciences, proteomics has the highest potential for functional characterization and consequently can contribute significantly to the field of cancer research. In particular, the focus of this thesis is on breast cancer. Alas, since state-of-the-art technologies cannot meet the complexity of upper eukaryotic proteomes, a complete resolution of clinical samples is still una
In this chapter, focus is on the period 1945-1960 and the discussion is divided into three thematic sections: First, macro-economic structures including growth trends and the composition of the economies. Second, colonial budgets including state finance, fiscal capacity, and economic policy. Third, changes in occupations, incomes, and living standards primarily for the African subjects. The text p
Introduction: Atrial septal defect is the third most common CHD. A hemodynamically significant atrial septal defect causes volume overload of the right side of the heart. Preterm children may suffer from both pulmonary and cardiac comorbidities, including altered myocardial function. The aim of this study was to compare the rate of adverse events following atrial septal defect closure in preterm-
