In addition to brain injury stroke patients often suffer gastrointestinal complications. Neuroimmune interactions involving galectin-3, released from microglia in the brain, mediates the post-stroke pro-inflammatory response. We investigated possible consequences of stroke on the enteric nervous system and the involvement of galectin-3. We show that permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCA

Much debate has revolved around nutrient limitation in estuaries. A common view today is that nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) act as co-limiting nutrients, both for processes carried out by phytoplankton and by bacterioplankton, although recent studies show that also carbon (C) may control estuarine bacterioplankton, even in systems with large inputs of terrestrial organic matter (tOM). We conduct

Construction work is physically demanding and often associated with bodily pain. This article presents a study of construction workers’ practices of using and relating to their bodies at work through an agential realist framework for analysing the (re)configuration of the workers’ embodied subjectivity. The analysis draws on interviews with 32 Danish construction workers as well as brief observati

Despite a sizable functional literature on variation and change, very little attention has been given to the diachronic mechanisms of meaning shifts and change covering the whole continuum from contentful to configurational meanings. This chapter is an attempt to begin filling this gap. It proposes a unitary approach to the mechanisms of variation and change within the Cognitive Linguistics framew

Protein phosphorylation in the subcompartments of plant mitochondria was investigated by labelling with [gamma-32P]ATP and by SDS-PAGE/autoradiography. About 20 proteins in inside-out inner mitochondrial membranes from potato tubers were phosphorylated by endogenous protein kinases when incubated with [gamma-32P]ATP. None of the phosphorylated proteins were labelled when using [alpha-32P]ATP as a

This paper presents a prototype 3.1-8.2 GHz UWB transmitter front-end based on a novel transmitted reference pulse cluster (TRPC) scheme in the 0.13-μm CMOS process. The transmitter front-end consists of wideband low noise active baluns, IQ modulator based on noise-cancellation mixers with high linearity, and differential to single-ended (D-to-S) converter. The measurements show that the worst-cas

A major issue related to our modern way of life is the noise caused by jet engine powered airliners. Methods to reduce the jet noise were proposed in the last decades starting with the introduction of high bypass turbofan engines. A numerical investigation of flow and acoustics of a separate flow exhaust system is performed in the present paper. The goal is to investigate how the noise generated b
