The fermentation characteristics of two strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB), Lactobacillus brevis G-77 and Pediococcus damnosus 2.6 were compared in an oat-based, nondairy milk medium (Adavena® G40). Viscosity and ropiness were the main growth parameters studied. Both strains are reported to produce an exopolysaccharide (EPS) with a -glucan structure; in addition, the L. brevis strain produces a

A multimodal approach to nondestructive seismic pavement testing is described. The presented approach is based on multichannel analysis of all types of seismic waves propagating along the surface of the pavement. The multichannel data acquisition method is replaced by multichannel simulation with one receiver. This method uses only one accelerometer-receiver and a light hammer-source, to generate

Background and Objectives. Although anagrelide is widely used in the treatment of throm-bocythemia in myeloproliferative diseases, there is currently limited information on the efficacy and toxicity of its long-term use. This prospective study investigated clinical toxicity and efficacy of anagrelide during two years of treatment. Design and Methods. A multicenter, open, phase II study of anagreli

An increase of creatine kinase MB (CKMB) in serum has long been used as a marker for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). It is important with an early diagnosis and since the amount of the CKMB2 isoform rises above reference levels much earlier than the total creatine kinase amount, quantification of CKMB isoforms could be a feasible alternative for early analysis. The two CKMB isoforms differ by o

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen utgörs av en kritisk edition av Johannes Annorelius? latinska brev till brodern Julius (G3, Uppsala universitetsbibliotek). I början av 1700-talet lämnade Johannes Annorelius Uppsala och blev katolik och kapucinmunk i Flandern. Från klostret skrev han många, långa brev på franska och latin till sin lutherske bror i Sverige. I breven förklarar han varför hanThis book presents a critical edition of the Latin letters in ms. G3 (Uppsala University Library) from Johannes Annorelius to his brother. Johannes Annorelius left Sweden as a young student in the beginning of the 18th century and settled down in Flanders, where he converted to the Catholic faith and became a Capuchin friar. In the Capuchin friary Annorelius wrote several extensive letters in Fren

Our main aim is to understand the phenomena coercion by regarding how it is created and maintained during coercive care of drug abusers in Sweden. In this article we follow processes through coercive care by stories from social workers and clients. 23 interviews were conducted with 13 social workers in the social services and 10 persons who have been under coercive care. The material derives from

Measurements are presented of differential dijet cross sections in diffractive photoproduction (Q(2) < 0.01 GeV2) and deep-inelastic scattering processes (DIS, 4 < Q2 < 80 GeV2). The event topology is given by ep -> eXY, in which the system X, containing at least two jets, is separated from a leading low-mass baryonic system Y by a large rapidity gap. The dijet cross sections are compared with NLO

Tissue transglutaminase (tTg) has been identified as the major autoantigen in coeliac disease (CD). ELISA methods have been developed for measuring the autoantibody. There are divergent reports on the effects of calcium on the antibody binding to tTg. Furthermore, zinc is a potent inhibitor of tTg. To better understand the role of transglutaminase in CD, we have studied the stability of commercial

Two lesions, actinic keratosis (AK) and squamous cell carcinoma in situ (CIS), are believed to be precursors of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the skin. These lesions can serve as an excellent model system for studying genetic changes associated with the inception of skin SCC. In the present study, five such lesions of the skin, three AKs and two AK+CIS, from three patients were short-term cultu

Thylakoids isolated from tobacco were fragmented by sonication and the vesicles so obtained were separated by partitioning in aqueous polymer two-phase systems. By this procedure, grana vesicles were separated from stroma exposed membrane vesicles. The latter vesicles could be further fractionated by countercurrent distribution, with dextran-polyethylene glycol phase systems, and divided into two

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna islamologiska avhandling diskuterar och analyserar den islamtolkning som gjorts av den muslimske tänkaren Nurcholish Madjid i Indonesien. Nurcholish ¬ som nyligen dog vid sextisex års ålder - har bidragit till reformeringen av islamiskt tänkande i Indonesien i över trettio år. Hans idéer är starkt påverkade av den lokala indonesiska kontexten, men utgör också en dThis dissertation in the field of Islamic studies offers a critical analysis of Nurcholish Madjid's attempt to interpret Islam within the framework of modern Indonesia. Nurcholish, who recently passed away at the age of sixty-six, had been active in the reform of Islamic thought for over thirty years, and while remaining deeply coloured by the local Indonesian context, was also part of a global an

Utgångspunkten för projektet Skåne i god form II har varit de problem på arbetsmarknaden som kan relateras till arbetsmiljön och som resulterar i hög sjukfrånvaro och svårigheter att behålla och nyrekrytera arbetskraft. Projektet har syftat till att skapa möjligheter för de anställda att tillsammans med designer granska sin egen arbetsmiljö och de arbetsuppgifter man har och utarbeta förslag på hu

If individuals occupy habitats in a way that maximizes their fitness, if they are free to occupy the habitats they choose and if fitness declines with population density, then their abundance across habitats should follow an ideal free distribution. But, if individuals are genetically related, this simple fitness-maximization mechanism breaks down. Habitat occupation should obey Hamiltons rule (na

Observations of the ultra-sharp-lined HgMn star chi Lupi made with the Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph after the Hubble Space Telescope First Servicing Mission display the effect of COSTAR corrective optics upon the spectral resolution of several observing modes. The resolution is restored to levels expected in the absence of the telescope spherical aberration for all observations made throug
