Quantitative reverse transcription-PCR assay with an internal standard for the detection of prostate-specific antigen mRNA

BACKGROUND: Circulating prostate cells can be detected with a reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) assay for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) mRNA. We have developed a new quantitative RT-PCR method for measuring PSA mRNA. METHODS: The method uses a PSA-like internal standard (IS) mRNA that is added into the sample at the beginning of the RNA extraction and coamplified by RT-PCR with the PSA in the s

An Ultra High Bandwidth Automotive Rapid Prototype System

For developers of automotive control, prototyping and initial tests are a hassle. Commercial solutions are available but the price and especially the price/performance ratio opens the field for more cost effective solutions. Automotive rapid prototype systems seen so far are mainly processor based systems with standard interrupt driven measurement and actuation. Control systems based on high time

Moment-method calculations of scattering by a square plate using singular basis functions and multipole expansions

The method of moments is used to solve electromagenetic boundary value problems numerically. It is known that the choice of basis functions is crucial for the numerical efficiency. Fast convergence is achieved provided the basis functions efficiently approximate the unknown function. In this paper the far field (incl. RCS) of a thin square conducting plate is calculated. Basis functions with corre

Constraints on prosodic phrasing in spontaneous speech

The present paper makes some preliminary hypotheses about the constraints on prosodic phrasing in spontaneous Swedish speech. Within Optimality Theory, linguistic phenomena such as prosodic phrasing are explained through the interaction of constraints (McCarthy & Prince 1993). One may assume that there are a number of constraints that interact to determine what prosodic form an utterance is as

Campylobacteriosis and salmonellosis in Sweden - an estimation of direct and indirect costs

This report is part of a project that aims at exploring whether the current allocation of resources for fighting the two illnesses campylobacteriosis and salmonellosis can be regarded as economically efficient in Sweden. When resources are allocated towards reducing a specific illness both costs (more administration, control etc. needed) and benefits (a reduction of the number of cases) emerge. An
