Leukocyte recruitment is a key feature of liver injury associated with endotoxemia and systemic inflammation. The aim of this thesis was to define the adhesive mechanisms underlying leukocyte endothelial cell interactions, and the therapeutic potential of interference with specific adhesion molecules in endotoxemic liver damage. Moreover, the causal relationship between leukocyte recruitment on on
An antenna identity, derived from the forward scattering sum rule, shows that the partial realized gain of an antenna is related to the polarizability of the antenna structure. The partial realized gain contains the mismatch, directivity, efficiency, and polarization properties of the antenna. The antenna identity expresses how the performance depends on the electrical size and shape of the antenn
The purpose of this dissertation is to analyse the changing views of nature from 1885 to 1915 as Sweden experienced possibly the greatest transformation in its history. An examination of the Swedish Touring Club's Annual Review serves to illustrate these changes. These reviews have under the slogan 'Know Your Country', been published since 1886. A parallel comparison can be traced through interpre
Popular Abstract in Swedish Polymerer och tensider är två mycket vanliga molekylslag som vi ofta stöter på i vårt vardagliga liv. Polymerer är extremt långa kedjor sammansatta av tusentals repeterande enheter. De förekommer både som hårda material (t ex plast) och i lösning (t ex målarfärg). Det finns syntetiska polymerer, såsom nylon och polyeten, och det finns biologiska polymerer, t ex cellulosA new approach to the study of aqueous mixtures of oppositely charged polymers and surfactants has been introduced. Pure polyion-surfactant ion complex salts have been synthesized and used as the point of departure. The elimination of the simple ions reduces the number of components in the mixtures, thus greatly simplifying the system. By mixing the complex salt with either the polyelectrolyte or
In this work benzoyl dextrans with a degree of substitution (DS) ranging from 0.02 to 0.29 and valeryl dextrans with a DS ranging from 0.025 to 0.2 were synthesized. The modified dextrans were characterized by viscosity, UV, HPLC and NMR measurements. The effect of reaction conditions on the DS of modified dextrans was studied. The modified dextrans were used to study the effect of aromatic and al
Inom retaillitteraturen har det länge talats om upplevelseskapande i butik. För en butiks atmosfär spelar många faktorer roll och centreras ofta kring subtila element som musik, doft och färg. I bageriet är temperaturen av stor betydelsen, men även trängseln och det som betraktas som den genuina atmosfären. Vad betyder det för vår upplevelse att vi måste stå en stund innanför dörren innan vi ens k
Nationella beslut om miljöåtgärder påverkar människors vardagsliv på många olika sätt. Med antagandet av kretsloppslagen följde att varje hushåll skulle sortera sina hushållssopor för att gå till återvinning inom industrin eller till förbränning och energiproduktion. Miljömärkning och energimärkning av produkter gör det möjligt för konsumenten att göra informerade val så att miljöpåverkan på natur
Lubyanka- IIIrd Floor. Memoirs of the KGB-chairman Vladimir Semichastny This book (published in Czech language in 1998) gives the reader a chance to follow the development of those times as seen by one of the most powerful men of his days - the highest predecessor of the Commitee for State Security at the Council of Ministers of the USSR (better known under the abbreviation KGB). Considering his

Large-scale software development generates an ever-growing amount of information. Multiple research groups have proposed using approaches from the domain of information retrieval (IR) to recover traceability. Several enhancement strategies have been initially explored using the laboratory model of IR evaluation for performance assessment. We conducted a pilot experiment using printed candidate lis
