This note gives five applications of the eater-food interaction model (Garding 2005) where cycle length is a function of the eater average birth rate defined as the inverse of average life span. The model extends to an analysis of predator-prey-food cycles (Garding 2000). Here the cycle length is the same as that of en eater-food interaction whose average 'birth rate' is the sum of the average bir

The Stockholm Cancer Prevention Program is to our knowledge the first community intervention program in the world aiming of a reduction in the incidence of cancer. A community diagnosis model has been used in the planning. A thorough description of different organizations in the local communities of Stockholm has been made. A model for describing the organizations or collaborators has been worked

Försöken med förångning från vätskespill av aceton, dietyleter, etanol och metyletylketon och fördelning av brännbara ångor i dragskåp utförda med en inloppshastighet av ca 0.5 m/s visade att: mängden förångad vätska efter spill av olika vätskor vid olika initialtemperaturer kan förutsägas med god noggrannhet med befintliga dataprogram. Vid ett spill stannar den tunga ångan kvar i den nedre delen

1. It has been suggested that the vasoconstrictor response to neuropeptide Y (NPY) is located in the microvessels and that it increases with reduced vessel diameter. The aim of the present study was to analyse quantitatively, on the cat gastrocnemius muscle preparation in vivo, the effects of NPY on total regional vascular resistance (RT) and its distribution to large-bore arterial resistance vess

1. The mechanisms by which cooling inhibits insulin secretion were investigated by capacitance measurements of exocytosis in single mouse pancreatic B-cells maintained in short-term tissue culture. 2. A reduction of the bath temperature from 34 to 24 degrees C produced a gradual inhibition of exocytosis. Inhibition of exocytosis was use dependent rather than time dependent. The steady-state inhibi

Popular Abstract in Swedish I avhandlingen presenteras ett matematiskt ramverk för analys av datagenomströmning i paket-baserade radionät som stör varandra. Tidigare forskning om prestanda i paketradionät täcker många olika system och aspekter. Tidigare publicerade arbeten har dock till stor del varit begränsade till fixa paketlängder. Ramverket som presenteras i avhandlingen tillåter detaljerad aIn this thesis, a probabilistic framework is presented and used for analysis of the throughput of interfering packet-based radio networks, referred to as packet radio networks (PRNs). Previous research on the performance of PRNs covers a wide variety of systems and aspects in varying levels of detail. However, the work presented in the literature has mostly been limited to fixed packet lengths. Th

The dissertation is a case study, the topic of which was a participant-oriented research project in which a development programme for support to parents and care of young people was to be implemented in the organization and the concrete social work was developed and changed through researcher-supported intervention. The project was part of a large-scale effort for change and development carried ou

CASCADE is a full hadron level Monte Carlo event generator for ep, gammap and p (p) over bar processes, which uses the CCFM evolution equation for the initial state cascade in a backward evolution approach supplemented with off-shell matrix elements for die hard scattering. A detailed program description is given, with emphasis on parameters the user wants to change and common block variables whic

Formation of germ tubes by Candida albicans has been assumed as a putative virulence factor. Local anesthetics (LAs), e.g., lidocaine and bupivacaine, are known to inhibit germ tube formation. The study confirmed this observation for the novel drug ropivacaine, although it was less potent than the former two drugs. Hypothesizing that the effect is due to blockading ionic channels, we exposed Candi

The instantaneous response models the rapid part of the interaction between electromagnetic fields and materials. From a physical point of view the instantaneous response is non-observable and from a mathematical point of view it constitutes the principal part of the Maxwell equations. In this paper, it is shown that the instantaneous response is not uniquely determined from a given set of values

Oscillator strengths for 57 U II lines in the region 3500-6700 Åhave been derived by combining new branching fraction measurements withrecently measured lifetimes. The lines combine six upper levels withnumerous low levels having excitation energies of 0-1.5 eV. The datainclude the U II line at 3859 Å, which is used forcosmochronology.

Real-time ultrasound was used in 654 consecutive pregnancies to obtain standard growth parameters for the fetal brain. Measurement of the width of the lateral ventricle (LVW) and hemisphere and their relationships to menstrual age, biparietal diameter, and birth weight were determined. The growth of the LVW was to a great extent independent of birth weight but dependent on menstrual age. Thirteen

Subcutaneous metastases from an oesophageal carcinoma were irradiated using different schedules. The results have to be evaluated with greatest caution but indicate that with the same CRE value, few fractions caused less skin reactions than several, and the size of the shoulder of the cell survival curve was of the order of 0.7 Gy.

Both the antibody affinity and the detectability of the label are essential in deciding the final characteristics of a heterogeneous immunoassay. This paper describes an approach to obtain a supplementary enhancement of the signal generated by using an enzyme label, e.g., by including the product of the enzymatic reaction in an additional amplification cycle during the detection step performed wit
