Phosphorus-31 NMR spectra of superfused isometrically mounted guinea-pig taenia coli were obtained using a horizontal probe at 103.2 MHz. The spectra showed resonances for ATP, phosphocreatine (PCr), and a sugar phosphate resonance. The PCr/ATP ratio was between 1.5 and 2.0 consistent with chemical analysis of tissue extracts. The level of PCr, but not of ATP, decreases reversibly during contracti
Photoelectron and Auger electron spectra following Xe-3d and Xe-4d ionization of free xenon clusters have been measured using synchrotron radiation. The atom-to-surface and atom-to-bulk binding energy shifts found in the Xe-3d and the subsequent M5N4,5N4,5 Auger decay are about 15% larger than those observed in the Xe-4d and N4,5O2,3O2,3 measurements. This experimental result is also considered th
A preliminary systematic position of the genus Cetrariella based on sequences from the ITS region is discussed. Cetrariella delisei and C. fastigiata appear as not very closely related species. Both species form a monophyletic sister group to Cetraria and should presumably stay as a separate segregate. The evidences from morphological data and data from secondary chemistry, however, strongly suppo
As carotid endarterectomy is a prophylactic procedure, it would seem particularly important to analyze complications with an aim to avoiding them. All carotid endarterectomies in Sweden are registered, and all serious complications (death and permanent neurological deficit) are analyzed in detail, classified and discussed within the profession. During the period 1994-1996 the frequency was 4.3 per
We present and discuss the Cs 3d X-ray absorption spectra and resonant photoelectron emission spectra of CsF. The resonant photoelectron spectra excited at the Cs 3d absorption maxima, exhibit a strong resonance behavior. The different behaviour of participator and spectator channels and interference effects of the 4d partial photoionisation cross-section at the 3d resonances are discussed. The ex
AIM: To study the vasodilation effect of atropine and its mechanism. METHODS: Isometric tension was recorded in isolated rat super mesenteric arteries precontracted by noradrenaline (NE) to study the vasodilation effect of atropine, and to investigate the role of endothelial cell and vascular smooth muscle cell on vasodilation. RESULTS: Atropine was shown to significantly dilate the endothelium-in
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether serum cystatin C is more accurate than serum creatinine in the detection of diabetic nephropathy, also after adjustment for age.METHODS: Forty-one patients with type 1 and 82 patients with type 2 diabetes were evaluated with serum creatinine, serum cystatin C, and (51)Cr-EDTA clearance (reference method). Cystatin C was measured by a particle-enhanced turbidimetric
The adaptive optics for any telescope in the 25- to 100-m class will be complex. It is believed that adaptive optics should, to the maximum extent, be designed as an integrated part of a telescope. The proposed Swedish 50-m Extremely Large Telescope is considered here to illustrate the principle of integrated adaptive optics. Two alternative designs both using the Ritchey-Chretien telescope system
The transition model (i) of classical phonetics distinguished between inevitable transitions between momentary target configurations (called coarticulation by Menzerath and Lacerda in 1933) and assimilation extending over a larger domain than a transition, implying reorganization of the input. By the 1950s it was clear that coarticulation extended beyond target configurations and involved more tha
Two important contexts for children in forensic processes are their performance in interviews and their identification performance in lineups. Another important question concerns the validity (or realism) in children’s confidence in the extent to which they correctly remember an event or a person. This paper reviews the current state of research on strengths and weaknesses in children’s testimony
Abstract in Danish Ligevægtsopsamling gennem membraner (Equilibrium Sampling Through Membranes, ESTM) er et nyt koncept med hulfibre til oprensning, opkoncentrering og måling af polære organiske stoffer og metaller. Metoden kan anvendes til såvel prøveforberedelse i laboratoriet som prøveudtagning i felten
Within the framework of the European Land Arctic Physical Processes project and as part of the Danish Research Council's Polar Program, a study on trace gas exchange in a high-arctic ecosystem was conducted in NE Greenland, May-August 1997. On the basis of carbon dioxide flux measurements from three dominant surface types, this paper reports on the upscaling of such measurements from canopy to lan
High-spin states in Nd-138 have been investigated with the reaction Zr-94(Ca-48,4n), using the GASP array. A new rotational band has been identified, which has close similarities with the well known highly deformed bands of the lighter Nd isotopes, and is therefore interpreted as built on the second minimum of the nuclear potential energy surface. From comparison with calculations a configuration
The thermotropic phase behaviour and phase structure of crystalline and non-crystalline n-tetradecyl-beta-D-maltoside (C(14)G(2)) and n-hexadecyl-beta-D-maltoside (C(16)G(2)) have been investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray techniques. Upon lyophilisation, both compounds form a solid, lamellar phase comprising disordered head groups and hexagonally packed alkyl chains
