Preliminary results are reported from a study of speech gestures analyzed from an x-ray motion film of a southern Swedish speaker. The gestures analyzed here are taken from one utterance from the film. Frame-by-frame analysis of the presence or absence of articulator movement provided information about temporal coordination & segmental simultaneity & sequencing. The data suggest challenges
We investigated the transmission properties and the phenotypic effects of two mitochondrial plasmids in a population of the bladder campion, Silene vulgaris. In reciprocal crosses between plasmid-free and plasmid-carrying plants, no cases of paternal transmission or loss during maternal transmission were recorded. Neither was any transmission via pollen observed when plasmid-carrying plants of S,
Small leucine-rich proteoglycans (SLRPs) regulate extracellular matrix organization, a process essential in development, tissue repair, and metastasis. In vivo interactions of biglycan and fibromodulin, two SLRPs highly expressed in tendons and bones, were investigated by generating biglycan/fibromodulin double-deficient mice. Here we show that collagen fibrils in tendons from mice deficient in bi
I denna rapport får vi följa sex arbetsplatser inom Malmö kommun som under ett och ett halvt år utprovar olika typer av alternativa arbetstidsmodeller. Inom vård och barnomsorg utprovas flexibla bemanningsscheman, inom VA-service utprövas årsarbetstid och bland socialsekreterare och utredare utprovas distansarbete. Utprovningarna sker inom ramen för kommunens personalpolicy som bl a fokuserar ett
Sludge from gullies, on two types of streets with different traffic intensity, was investigated using two recommended EU methods for leachability testing of waste: a two-stage batch test and an up-flow percolation test. The main purpose of this investigation was to gain more knowledge about these leaching test methods to be able to make future decisions on the general applicability of the proposed
We review species richness in major organism groups, mainly using examples from northern Europe. A high proportion of these species is forest living, and large numbers are dependent on decaying wood. Biodiversity can be assessed at various scales using two different principles. One is to use features. such as ancient and dead trees, known to be important for a large number of species. The other me
A cubic liquid crystalline phase forming system based on the phospholipid dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE) which is fortified with small amounts of PEGylated (poly(ethylene) glycol) glycerol monooleate (PEG(660)-GMO) is characterized. The cubic phase formed by the DOPE/PEG(660)-GMO/water system coexists with water in the dilute part of the phase diagram and can be fragmented into colloidal
A naturally contaminated sediment was partially extracted with selective supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) to remove a fraction of supposedly bioavailable PCBs from the matrix. Eels (Anguilla anguilla) were cultured in systems with untreated and pre-extracted sediment, respectively, and it was shown that the SFE treatment selectively removed bioavailable PCBs from the sediment, since relative b
Signals transmitted through multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless channels buffer from multiple-access interference (MAI), multipath propagation and additive noise. Iterative multiuser algorithms mitigate these signal impairments. while offering a good tradeoff between performance and complexity. The receiver presented in this paper performs channel estimation. multiuser detection and dec
The random graph Kn,p is constructed on n labelled vertices by inserting each of the (n2) possible edges independently with probability p, 0> p < 1. For a fixed graph G, the threshold function for existence of a subgraph of Kn,p isomorphic to G has been determined by Erdös and Rényi [8] and Bollobás [3]. Bollobás [3] and Karo ski [14] have established asymptotic Poisson and normal convergence for
OBJECTIVES: To study long-term patient-relevant outcomes after meniscectomy, a surgical procedure associated with a high risk of knee osteoarthritis (OA). Principal objectives were to compare traumatic with degenerative meniscal tear and partial with subtotal meniscectomy.METHODS: We studied a well-defined cohort of 205 patients who had undergone isolated unilateral meniscectomy between 1983 and 1
