Detection of P. falciparum-specific subpopulations of B-cells is important for studies of immunity in malaria. This protocol relies on the photostability and protein loading capacity of carboxylated quantum dots to detect a broad range of different P. falciparum-specific B-cells. Infected red blood cell ghosts, obtained by permeabilization of infected cells with Streptolysin O, are coupled with ca

The idea that some people completely lack inner speech is of both scientific and popular interest. In a recent study, Nedergaard and Lupyan compared self-reporting high and low inner-speech-prevalence groups and found that participants in the low-prevalence group performed worse on a verbal working memory test and responded more slowly and less accurately during rhyme judgments. These results repr

Despite systematic screening and improved treatment strategies, the prognosis remains worse in patients with connective tissue disease-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (CTD-PAH) compared to patients with idiopathic/hereditary pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH). We aimed to investigate differences in clinical characteristics, outcome and performance of the European Society of Cardiolo

An experimental and numerical study on mechanical properties, such as strength, elastic modulus, creep and shrinkage, of Self-Compacting Concrete, SCC, and the corresponding properties of Normal Compacting concrete, NC, is outlined in this article. The study included eight mix proportions of sealed or air-cured specimens with water-binder ratio, w/b, varying between 0.24 and 0.80. Half of the mixe

The aim of this master’s thesis is to shed light on the phenomenon of story time in public libraries. Story time is in the present study defined as a scheduled event where a librarian or a library assistent tells one or more stories to a group of children, often with the help of audiovisual aids and/or elements of drama. The main focus is the pedagogy of story time from the perspective of the stor

The tendency to buy expensive and unnecessary goods is a pattern of consumer behavior that is becoming all too common in our society. We consume luxury items to satisfy practical needs that are already satisfied in the quest toward self-fulfillment, or simply to impress those around us. The phenomenon of “status consumption” has become increasingly evident in modern society. Although conspicuous c

Control engineering is a well-established discipline with a long and prominent his-tory1. It is diverse in its applications but has a strong unifying core to it: the notion ofdynamic systems and control theory. Many engineers will have encountered it as partof their education, as control engineering courses are taught to electrical, mechanical,chemical, aerospace, and industrial engineers. Quite o

This paper reconsiders how central banks get involved in the process of determining nominal variables such as market interest rates and inflation rates. It is argued that the traditional story deriving central bank power from its monopoly of issuing base money is flawed. That story - in its various guises - is based on the quantity equation. This equation, however, is only applicable in the hypoth
