Protein-water interactions studied by molecular dynamics simulations

Most proteins have evolved to function optimally in aqueous environments, and the interactions between protein and water therefore play a fundamental role in the stability, dynamics, and function of proteins. Although we understand many details of water, we understand much less about the protein-water interface. In this thesis we use molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to cast light on many struct

Multiuser Bandwidth Minimization with Individual Rate Requirements for Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access

Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) for a multi-user single- input single-output (SISO) setup is studied in the power and the frequency domains simultaneously. The problem of sum-bandwidth minimization under perfect channel state information is solved for various combinations of rate requirements and user pairings. In this process, an iterative Tabu-search based algorithm is applied to avoid an

Acupuncture treatments for infantile colic : a systematic review and individual patient data meta-analysis of blinding test validated randomised controlled trials

Objective: Needle acupuncture in small children has gained some acceptance in Western medicine. It is controversial, as infants and toddlers are unable to consent to treatment. We aimed to assess its efficacy for treating infantile colic. Design: A systematic review and a blinding-test validation based on individual patient data from randomised controlled trials. Primary end-points were crying tim

Bandwidth Minimization under Probabilistic Constraints and Statistical CSI for NOMA

Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) is studied under statistical Channel State Information (CSI) and probabilistic constraints. Unlike the conventional power domain only NOMA, the definition of NOMA here considers both the power and the frequency domains simultaneously, where a flat power spectrum is assumed for each UE. This increases the capacity region when compared to the conventional definiti

Precoder Design for Cooperative Multi-User Downlink MISO Channels with Finite Side-Link Capacity

For a pair of closely located and cooperating user equipments (UEs), a precoder is designed at the base station (BS) which considers the UE cooperation. The UEs collaborate over an out-of-band side-link with a finite capacity. The side-link may be used for interference cancellation (IC) or for relaying decoded symbols. The precoder has two parts, a cooperative part based on channel inversion and a

Long-lasting cervical radicular pain managed with surgery, physiotherapy, or a cervical collar. : A prospective, randomized study

STUDY DESIGN: This prospective, randomized study compares the efficacy of surgical and conservative treatments in patients with long-lasting cervical radicular pain.OBJECTIVES: To compare the effects of surgery, physiotherapy, and a cervical collar.SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: There are no previous controlled outcome studies that have compared surgical treatment with nonsurgical treatment of patien

Spotty Carotid Plaques Are Associated with Inflammation and the Occurrence of Cerebrovascular Symptoms

Background: Echolucent carotid plaques have been related to an increased risk of ischemic cerebrovascular events. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether a new objective ultrasonographic parameter, the statistical geometric feature (SGF), reflecting spottiness of carotid plaques, can be associated with cerebrovascular symptoms and with a rupture-prone plaque phenotype. Methods: The pl

Pain, muscular tenderness, cervical and shoulder mobility in patients with cervical radiculopathy randomly treated with surgery, physiotherapy or a cervical collar

This prospective, randomised study compares the efficacy of surgery and conservative treatments in patients with cervical radiculopathy. The study group comprised 81 patients with long-lasting cervicaloradiculopathy, with a pain distribution corresponding to a significant nerve root compression, verified by magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomographic myelography. The patients were randomly

Lantmäteriförrättningar

Heldagsseminariet handlar om lantmäteriförrättningar, där vi särskilt riktar in oss på lantmäteriförrättningarnas betydelse för fastighetsbranschen. Vi strävar alltid efter att ordna seminarier som ger klara och handfasta besked om centrala fastighetsrättsliga ämnen. Denna nionde gång är ämnet lantmäteriförrättningar. Ett centralt och ämne inom den speciella fastighetsrätten som vi nu tar ett saml

Cone-beam computed tomography, a new low-dose three-dimensional imaging technique for assessment of bone erosions in rheumatoid arthritis : reliability assessment and comparison with conventional radiography – a BARFOT study

Objectives: To determine the intra- and inter-observer agreement of erosions detected and scored with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) of bones in the hands and feet, and to compare CBCT with conventional radiography (CR) for assessment of bone erosions in patients with long-standing rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Method: Thirty patients with long-standing RA from the Better Anti-Rheumatic Pharmac

Low risk for hip fracture and high risk for hip arthroplasty due to osteoarthritis among Swedish farmers

Summary: We aimed to study the risk of hip fracture and risk of hip arthroplasty among farmers in Sweden. Our results indicate that farming, representing an occupation with high physical activity, in men is associated with a lower risk of hip fracture but an increased risk of hip arthroplasty. Introduction: The risks of hip fracture and hip arthroplasty are influenced by factors including socioeco

The contribution of the ARIEL space mission to the study of planetary formation

The study of extrasolar planets and of the Solar System provides complementary pieces of the mosaic represented by the process of planetary formation. Exoplanets are essential to fully grasp the huge diversity of outcomes that planetary formation and the subsequent evolution of the planetary systems can produce. The orbital and basic physical data we currently possess for the bulk of the exoplanet
