This study presents the results of a set of large-scale fire tests performed on horizontal polyurethane foam slabs. Slab thickness, ignition location, and environment (free burn or corner wall) were varied over 23 individual tests. In a continuation of a previous study by the authors, four different slab thicknesses, five different ignition locations, and three environmental modification combinati

Two C57BL/6 mice colonies maintained in two rooms of the same specific pathogen-free (SPF) facility were found to have different gut microbiota and a mucus phenotype that was specific for each colony. The thickness and growth of the colon mucus were similar in the two colonies. However, one colony had mucus that was impenetrable to bacteria or beads the size of bacteria - which is comparable to wh
Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia in the western world, however there is no cure available for this devastating neurodegenerative disorder. Despite clinical and experimental evidence implicating the intestinal microbiota in a number of brain disorders, its impact on Alzheimer's disease is not known. To this end we sequenced bacterial 16S rRNA from fecal samples of Aβ precurso
We measure the transient photocurrent of APFO3:PCBM bulk heterojunction solar cells illuminated with ns-laser and sub-ms LED light sources. The ratio of the number of collective charges to the number of excited photon (external quantum efficiency, EQE) and the transient photocurrent fall times have been carried out with difference pulse durations and fluences. The EQEs characterized by ns-laser so
High nutritional value Andean seeds—tarwi (Lupinus mutabilis), cañihua (Chenopodium pallidicaule), and quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa)—were subjected to solid-state fermentation with Levilactobacillus brevis DSM 1269. This strain can convert L-glutamic acid into the neurotransmitter GABA. Fermented tarwi exhibited the highest GABA production, at 4 mg/g sample, which correlates with its higher protein
We consider the random normal matrix ensemble associated with a potential in the plane of sufficient growth near infinity. It is known that asymptotically as the order of the random matrix increases indefinitely, the eigenvalues approach a certain equilibrium density, given in terms of Frostman's solution to the minimum energy problem of weighted logarithmic potential theory. At a finer scale, we
Measurement of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in blood is an important tool in detection for prostate cancer. PSA occurs in several molecular forms in blood: mainly as a free form with a molecular mass of 28 kDa; and as PSA complexed to alpha-1-antichymotrypsin, complexed PSA, with a molecular mass of 90 kDa. Total PSA comprises the sum of free PSA and complexed PSA. The percentage of free-to-tot

BACKGROUND: Fetal cardiovascular MRI complements ultrasound to assess fetal cardiovascular pathophysiology.PURPOSE: To develop a free-breathing method for retrospective fetal cine MRI using Doppler ultrasound (DUS) cardiac gating and tiny golden angle radial sampling (tyGRASP) for accelerated acquisition capable of detecting fetal movements for motion compensation.STUDY TYPE: Feasibility study.SUB
Protein S deficiency is a known risk factor for thrombosis. The coexistence of phenotypic type I (reduction in total and free antigen) and type III (reduction in free antigen only) protein S deficiencies in 14 of 18 families was recently reported. We investigated the cause of this phenotypic variation in the largest of these families (122 family members, including 44 affected individuals) using bo
Objectives: Our aim was to compare direct costs for single pill combinations (SPCs) and free-drug combinations for hypertension treatment. Methods: We focused on Australia as a case study and reviewed total costs, and for the patient and government. We reviewed the Australian “Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme item drug map” considering different thresholds for the government safety net. Total costs

Title: Disability Free Lifetime Expectancy for men and women in Skåne using Sullivan’s Method. Author: Daniel Åström Supervisors: Jan Lanke and Juan Merlo Aim: The aim of the thesis is to investigate if differences in DFLE between genders and between 2000 and 2004 can be detected in Region Skåne Method: Using data from Region Skåne’s Folkhälsoenkät new weights for the data set have been computed a
Finite gradient pulse lengths are traditionally considered a nuisance in q-space diffusion NMR and MRI, since the simple Fourier relation between the acquired signal and the displacement probability is invalidated. Increasing the value of the pulse length leads to an apparently smaller value of the estimated compartment size. We propose that q-space data at different gradient pulse lengths, but wi
Free-electron lasers will change the way we carry out time-resolved X-ray experiments. At present date, we use laser-produced plasma sources or synchrotron radiation. Laser-produced plasma sources have short pulses, but unfortunately large pulse-to-pulse fluctuations and large divergence. Synchrotron radiation from third generation source provide collimated and stable beams, but unfortunately long
