Three microperoxidases-hemin-6(7)-gly-gly-his methyl ester (HGGH), mesohemin-6(7)-gly-gly-his methyl ester (MGGH) and deuterohemin-6(7)-gly-gly-his methyl ester (DGGH)-have been prepared as models for heme-containing peroxidases by condensation Of glycyl-glycyl-L-histidine methyl ester with the propionic side chains of hemin, mesohemin and deuterohemin, respectively. The three microperoxidases dif

The aggravating effect of hyperglycemia on ischemic brain injury can be mimicked in a model of in vitro ischemia (IVI) using murine hippocampal slice cultures. Using this model, we found that the damage in the CA1 region following IVI in the absence or presence of 40 mM glucose (hyperglycemia) is highly temperature dependent. Decreasing the temperature from 35 to 31 degrees C during IVI prevented

Popular Abstract in Swedish Med ett historiskt perspektiv analyserar denna avhandling erfarenheter och identitetsskapande processer hos en grupp kvinnliga arbetare, cashewarbeterskor, i den sydindiska delstaten Kerala-välkänd för dess radikala befolkning och höga sociala indikatorer för invånarna. Cashewarbeterskorna utmanar den stereotypa bilden av kvinnor i ?Tredje Världen?, genom att de sedan 1Since the 1930s female cashew workers have constituted a majority of the registered workers in the South Indian State of Kerala and today number some 200,000. This group challenged the stereotypical view of Third World women because they were organized into unions, worked in the formal sector, and were literate. The background for this thesis has been the ?Kerala Model?, i.e., the political contex

Denna rapport är ett försök att skissera en bild av hur människors uppfattningar och föreställningar om ekonomiska transaktioner via Internet skapas, vidmakthålles och förändras, samt hur dessa kan sättas i samband med den massmediala diskursen i ämnet. Rapporten är i första hand en litteraturstudie. Men den innehåller också exempel och tolkningar från tre parintervjuer där paren har skiftande erf

Pancreatic pseudocysts often complicate the course of both acute and chronic pancreatitis. The management, if the pseudocysts are symptomatic, still remains a substantial clinical problem. Surgical drainage was prior to the introduction of ultrasound and CT more or less the treatment of choice. A vide variety of other treatments have, however, been described that aim to achieve at least as good sh

Moraxella catarrhalis is an airway pathogen whose role in infection has been increasingly recognized in recent years. Most authorities in this field now agree that M. catarrhalis causes significant morbidity and is not just a harmless commensal. The universal prevalence of BRO ?-lactamases in this pathogen is a serious concern. In addition, M. catarrhalis may be further propelled into a more promi

Background: The aim of this study was to develop and psychometrically test a short, patient-reported questionnaire to be used in clinical practice for patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). The Visual Analogue Scale for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (VAS-IBS) questionnaire was designed to measure the treatment response of symptoms and well-being in patients suffering from IBS. Methods: The VAS-I

A group of Swedish oncologists and hospital physicists have estimated the number of patients in Sweden suitable for proton beam therapy. The estimations have been based on current statistics of tumour incidence, number of patients potentially eligible for radiation treatment, scientific support from clinical trials and model dose planning studies and knowledge of the dose-response relations of dif

This paper suggests a number of facts related to the modeling and output feedback stabilization of the Moore-Greitzer compressor model. It shows how to integrate the stall dynamics, and how to use this for further output stabilization of the model.
