Dietary fibre enrichment, blood pressure, lipoprotein profile and gut hormones in NIDDM patients
The influence of a beet-fibre enriched diet (mean 40 g FibrexR, 27 g dietary fibre per day) on blood pressure, plasma lipoproteins and glycaemic control was studied in 12 non-insulin-dependent diabetic (NIDD) patients. The effect on gastrointestinal hormones was also investigated. Beet-fibre and control diets were given in randomized order for 8 weeks each. During the beet-fibre diet the systolic
Flame propagation visualization in a spark-ignition engine using laser-induced fluorescence of cool-flame species
The flame propagation in a spark-ignition engine has been studied using laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) of species formed during the first ignition stage of hydrocarbon combustion. The detected two-dimensional LIF images showed the distribution of unburned regions. For the excitation, two Nd:YAG lasers operating at 355 mn were used for two consecutive measurements within the same engine cycle wit
Seven-year Study of the Effect of Silica Fume in Concrete.
In this article an experimental and numerical study of the long-term interaction between silica fume and Portland cement in concrete subjected to air, water or sealed curing is outlined. For this purpose about 250 kg of eight qualities of each concrete were studied at 4 different ages each over a period of 7 years. Parallel studies of strength, hydration and internal relative humidity were perform
Food sources of carbohydrates in a European cohort of adults.
Objective: To describe the average consumption of carbohydrate-providing food groups among study centres of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC). Methods: Of the 27 redefined EPIC study centres, 19 contributed subjects of both genders and eight centres female participants only (men, n=13 031; women, n=22 924, after exclusion of subjects under 35 and over 74 years
Therapeutic drug monitoring of racemic venlafaxine and its main metabolites in an everyday clinical setting.
SUMMARY: When Efexor(R) (venlafaxine) became available in Sweden, a therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) service was developed in the authors' laboratory. This analytical service was available to all physicians in the country. From March 1996, to November 1997, 797 serum concentration analyses of venlafaxine (VEN) and its main metabolites, O-desmethylvenlafaxine (ODV), N-desmethylvenlafaxine (NDV), a
Unification and Conflict. The Church Politics of Alonso de Montúfar OP, Archbishop of Mexico, 1554-1572.
Popular Abstract in Swedish I centrum för min avhandling står den spanske dominkanen Alonso de Montúfar (ca.1489-1572) som mellan 1554 och 1572 var ärkebiskop av Mexiko. I synnerhet har jag studerat hur ärkebiskop Montúfar ville att kyrkan skulle organiseras (hans kyrkovision) och hur han försökte förverkliga sin vision (hans kyrkopolitik). Montúfar kom till Mexiko drygt trettio år efter den spanThis dissertation focuses on Archbishop Alonso de Montúfar OP (ca. 1489-1572). It seeks to explore two decades of sixteenth century Mexican Church History mainly through the study of documents found in Spanish and Mexican archives. Born outside Granada in Southern Spain, just after the conquest from the Muslims, Alonso de Montúfar assumed teaching and leading positions within the Dominican order.

Improvement of peripheral nerve function after institution of insulin treatment in diabetes mellitus. A case-control study
The influence of improved diabetic control on peripheral nerve function was studied before and 3-4 months after institution of insulin treatment in 22 diabetics unsatisfactorily controlled by oral hypoglycemic agents. After institution of insulin treatment, diabetic control was improved as demonstrated by decreasing levels of HbA1. There was an overall tendency towards improvement of motor and sen
Interaction between the angiotensin-converting enzyme gene insertion/deletion polymorphism and obstructive sleep apnoea as a mechanism for hypertension.
Objective Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) confers a risk of hypertension and cardiovascular complications. Both the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and OSA are important determinants of blood pressure, but it is not fully known how they interact. The aim of this study was to explore the interaction between the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism and O
Trellis based variable rate residual image coding over noisy channels
We consider the lossy image compression problem and propose a model-residual approach. Polynomial basis images encode the model image and powerful new trellis codes quantize the residual part. A simple bit allocation scheme determines the residual bit rates and a variety of rates are attainable without entropy coding. The trellis structure is also used to form a joint source and channel coding sch
När ett plus ett blir tre - om samverkan inom kommunal avfallsverksamhet
Den övergripande ambitionen i denna rapport är att sprida lärdomar och konkreta exempel på kommunal samverkan inom avfallssektorn. Konkret är det tre områden som står i fokus: • Att beskriva olika former av samverkan utifrån ett antal praktiska exempel. • Att analysera vilka typer av fördelar samverkan kan ge • Att beskriva hur parterna går tillväga när de samverkar, dvs samverkansprocessen. F
Antigen-binding sites dominate the surface properties of antibodies
We have found a remarkable relationship between the specificity of antibodies and their chromatographic behavious upon liquid-liquid partition chromatography (LLPC). Well characterized human and murine monoclonal antibodies and Fab/Fv fragments thereof as well as mouse/human chimeric antibodies were employed. While, lgG 1, 2 and 4 antibodies with identical specificities (affinity constants) have i
Recording of biosignals from the human uterus, a basis for the development of new therapies in preterm labour and primary dysmenorrhoea.
Biological treatment of industrial wastes in a photobioreactor
An algal-bacterial consortium was tested for the treatment from a coke factory. A Chlorella vulgaris strain and a phenol-degrading Alcaligenes sp. were first isolated from the wastewater treatment plant to serve as inocula in the subsequent biodegradation tests. Batch tests were then conducted with samples from the real wastewater or using a synthetic wastewater containing 325 mg phenol/l and 500
A circumferentially flanged tibial tray minimizes bone-tray shear micromotion.
Aseptic loosening of the tibial component is the major complication of total knee arthroplasty There is an association between early excessive shear micromotion between the bone and the tray of the tibial component and late aseptic loosening. Using non-linear finite element analysis, whether a tibial tray with a circumferentially flanged rim and a mating cut in the proximal tibia could minimize bo
First measurement of charged current cross sections at HERA with longitudinally polarised positrons
Data taken with positrons of different longitudinal polarisation states in collision with unpolarised protons at HERA are used to measure the total cross sections of the charged current process, e(+) p -> nu X, for negative four-momentum transfer squared Q(2) > 400 GeV2 and inelasticity gamma < 0.9. Together with the corresponding cross section obtained from the previously published unpolarised da

Characterization of normal and polycystic ovaries using three-dimensional power Doppler ultrasonography
Purpose: To evaluate the characteristics of polycystic compared to normal ovaries using three-dimensional (3-D) power Doppler ultrasonography. Methods: We recruited 42 volunteers, all of whom were commencing IVF treatment. Each patient was examined in the cycle preceeding the start of drug therapy during the late follicular phase. IF eight or more subcapsular follicles of 2-8 mm in diameter in one
How large is the Swedish 'academic' sector really? A critical analysis of the use of science and technology indicators
Sweden is perceived to be top ranking. and a 'role model', in terms of its volume of academic R&D. This perception is based on analyses using two standard indicators. We assess the validity of these and argue that institutional features skew the result in favour of a high ranking. Swedish academic R&D is more appropriately characterised as average. or below average. in terms of input and a
