In this study, a global vegetation model (LPJ-GUESS) is forced with spatial information (Nomenclature of Units for Territorial Statistics (NUTS) 2 level) of land-use intensity change in the form of nitrogen (N) fertilization derived from a model chain which informed the Common Agricultural Policy Regionalized Impact (CAPRI) model. We analysed the combined role of climate change and land-use intens

Psychological stress has been reported as a possible trigger of atrial fibrillation (AF). No studies have investigated whether any association between stress and AF could be modified by genetic susceptibility to AF (AF-genetic risk score (AF-GRS)). 8765 men and 13,543 women from the Malmö Diet Cancer Study, a population-based cohort, were included in the analyses. A variable representing stress wa

Background: Effects of increased adenosine dose in the assessment of fractional flow reserve (FFR) were studied in relation to FFR results, hemodynamic effects and patient discomfort. FFR require maximal hyperemia mediated by adenosine. Standard dose is 140 μg/kg/min administrated intravenously. Higher doses are commonly used in clinical practice, but an extensive comparison between standard intra

Objective: The use of a conduit is an established surgical method for reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract in congenital heart disease; however, its limited durability makes reintervention almost inevitable. We studied the trends in new implantation, reoperation, and transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) from a Swedish national perspective. Design and results: The Swedi

Background:Chemotherapy in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC) aims for palliation and prolonging of progression-free survival (PFS). This study compares Health-related Quality of Life (HRQoL) and efficacy between single-agent chemotherapy and tamoxifen in PROC.Methods:Patients with PROC were randomised (2: 1) to chemotherapy (weekly paclitaxel 80 mg m -2 or four weekly pegylated liposomal do

I denna master class går forskarna igenom huvudpoängerna i den pupulärvetenskapliga rapporten Framtidens möten.Projektet handlar om nya modeller för affärer, interaktion och kommunikation inom mötesindustrin. Forskarna har undersökt hur pandemin påverkat mötesindustrin och om krisen fört med sig nya möjligheter. De har också studerat hur gäster i fysiska, hybrida och digitala möten och konferenser

Spores of Curvularia lunata were immobilized in polyacrylamide granules and in calcium alginate beads (2–3 mm in diam.). Germination of the spores, initiated by the addition of nutrients, resulted in an even distribution of mycelium throughout the beads after 48 h. Such beads were used for the conversion of cortexolone to cortisol by steroid-11β-hydroxylation. In order to improve the steroid trans

An enzyme-coenzyme complex was immobilized on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode and investigated with cyclic voltammetry in ethanol-containing buffers. The complex consists of an Liver Alcohol Dehydrogenase molecule to which an NAD-analogue is covalently attached via its straight six-carbon, spacer. One cycle was observed but repeated recycling could not be carried out. presumably due to ca

Whole cells of Arthrobacter simplex were immobilized in a living state in calcium alginate gel. The bacteria showed steroid-Δ1-dehydrogenase activity and the production of prednisolone from cortisol was investigated. The Δ1-dehydrogenase activity of the immobilized cells could be increased about ten-fold by incubation in nutrient media (e.g., containing 0.5% peptone abd 0.2% glucose). The reason f

The present facsimile of The Rudiments or Principles of the German flute (1729)—now republished for the first time since 1729—is a separate supplement to the comparativestudy Les Traditions en Mouvement Principes de la Flute Traversiere ou Flute d’Allemagne (1707) by Jacques Hotteterre Le Romain and The Rudiments or Principles of the German flute (1729) the first English translation of Hotteterre’

Saccharomyces cerevisiae was immobilized in calcium alginate gel together with varying concentrations of iron oxide, in the form of magnetite or a colloidal ferrite suspension, Ferrofluid™. Inclusion of magnetic material apparently had no adverse effect on the yeast cells as judged from their fermentation capacity, their operational stability as well as their ability to propagatein situ in the pre

This paper describes the preparation of a bifunctional NAD compound (Bis-NAD) and its properties as a complexing/precipitating agent for the tetrameric enzyme lactate dehydrogenase (LDH).

To plan, design and build with diversity in mind is a complex process. While goals such as inclusion, participation and social sustainability may be present in the vision for a future product, service or environment, studies show that the initial vision isn’t always realized in the end result. There are still far too many products, services and environments that are hard to access or use for parts

Introduction. The ability to read and interpret different types of text can be significantly impacted by neuropsychiatric disabilities, which affect cognitive abilities. This paper explores and reviews previous studies within library and information science on neuropsychiatric disabilities in relation to reading practices. Method.
