In this paper we study the multiple ergodic averages, on the symbolic space σm = (0,1,...,m-1}N* where m≥ 2, ℓ ≥ 2, q≥ 2 are integers. We give a complete solution to the problem of multifractal analysis of the limit of the above multiple ergodic averages. Actually we develop a non-invariant and non-linear version of thermodynamic formalism that is of its own interest. We study a large class of mea
Dual n-back WM training has been shown to produce broad transfer effects to different untrained cognitive functions. The task is demanding to the cognitive system because it includes a bi-modal (auditory and visual) dual-task component. A previous WM training study showed increased white matter integrity in the parietal lobe as well as the anterior part of the corpus callosum after visual n-back t
We argue that municipal adult education (MAE) can be seen as a place for displaced and abnormal citizens to gain temporary stability, enabling their shaping into desirable subjects. Drawing on a poststructural discursive analysis, we analyze policy texts and interviews with teachers and students. Our analysis illustrates how two distinct but interrelated student subjectivities are shaped: the root
We present a dedicated beamline branch for high flux and ultra-high resolution (R>100000) gas and vapor phase studies in the vacuum-ultra-violet (VUV) region of light on the undulator beamline I3, located on the 700 MeV MAX-III storage ring. The mechanical and optical design of the branch-line, the differential pumping setup as well as performance characteristics are presented.
We describe a beamline based on a plane-grating monochromator and an end-station designed for high resolution photoemission and photoabsorption spectroscopy on surfaces and interfaces using undulator radiation in the energy range 30 1500 eV. The general design of the beamline is based on a horizontally focusing pre-mirror, an SX-700 type of plane-grating monochromator and re-focusing optics of Kir
High resolution core level photoemission is used to measure the equilibrium coverages of CO on Rh(1 1 1) at different sample temperatures and CO background pressures. Use of the chemical shifts of the C Is binding energy allows us to divide the total CO coverage into separate coverages for the different adsorption sites of CO on Rh(1 1 1). A Clausius-Clapeyron analysis of isosteres constructed fro
We report on the characteristics and first results from the soft X-ray beam line I411, based on an undulator at the third generation synchrotron facility MAX II, Sweden. The beam line is designed for high-resolution, angle-resolved electron spectroscopy on gases, liquids and solids. Main components are the modified SX700 monochromator and the end station, both of which were previously used at beam
High-resolution core-level photoemission at an energy resolution better than the intrinsic width of the C 1s level has been used to study the CO/Rh(1 1 1) overlayer system. C Is spectra have been measured in a large CO coverage range; from low coverages, where the CO molecules only adsorb in on-top positions, to saturation coverage, where CO molecules occupy both on-top and threefold hollow sites.
Strong phonon replicas in Be 1s photoemission spectra were investigated. The fine structure caused by intrinsic excitation of a narrow band of optical phonons was discussed in the 1s photoemission proces. The excitations of the optical Be phonons in the photoemission process caused fine structures. It was found that the phonon replicas in Be metal were strong due to large size misfit between neutr
Rat catechol O-methyltransferase cDNA was introduced into an E. coli expression vector pKEX14, which utilizes the inducible T7 promoter. Active and soluble recombinant catechol O-methyltransferase was produced in bacteria and purified to electrophoretic homogeneity by chromatographic procedures. The purified enzyme has been crystallized by the method of vapor diffusion using polyethylene glycol as
Catechol-o-methyltransferase from human placenta was purified 1400-fold by hydroxyapatite adsorption, ammonium sulfate precipitation, gel filtration, high performance anion- exchange and reversed-phase chromatography. The purified enzyme has an apparent molecular weight of 26.000, an isoelectric point of 5,3 and is activated ten-fold in the presence of 20mM cysteine. The enzyme shows primary struc
The coding sequence of rat liver catechol-O-methyl-transferase (COMT; EC 2.1.1.6) was determined from rat cDNA and genomic libraries were screened with DNA probes and specific antiserum. The open reading frame consisted of 663 nucleotides coding for a 221-amino acid (aa) polypeptide with a deduced Mr of 24747. No obvious hydrophobic signal sequence, membrane-spanning domains, or potential N-glycos
The rat liver soluble catechol-O-methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.6.) has been purified utilizing a combination of conventional chromatography and HPLC. The purified enzyme has a molecular mass of 25 kDa, a pI of 5.1, and exists in two forms which differ in the nature of their intramolecular disulfide bonds. This difference causes these two protein forms to behave differently in reversed phase chromato
Two fusions of the Bacillus stearothermophilus α-amylase gene (amyS) with lacpoZ′ were constructed. The first, being a transcriptional fusion, placed amyS directly under lac promoter control eliminating interference by the endogenous promoter. IPTG induction of amyS transcription in this construction resulted in liberation of periplasmic proteins and eventually cell lysis. The other fusion replace
BACKGROUND: Cirrhosis represents a state of functional immune paresis with increased infection risk.AIMS: To investigate polymorphonuclear (PMN) leukocyte and monocyte function in ambulatory cirrhotics, and their potential relation with cirrhosis etiology or patient outcome.METHODS: Consecutive ambulatory cirrhotics without current or recent (<1 month) infection or acute decompensation were prospe
We addressed whether endothelin-1, a marker of endothelial dysfunction, predicts impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in a population study in south-western Sweden. Follow-up after 9.7 years showed an association between circulating endothelin-1 levels at baseline and development of IGT/T2DM in women but not in men.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Severe idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and gastro-oesophageal reflux, which may influence prognosis. We evaluated associations between cardiovascular and antacid medications, and mortality, in oxygen-dependent pulmonary fibrosis (PF) of unknown cause.METHODS: Prospective population-based study of adults starting
