Endometrial prostaglandins (PGs) and the PGE2/PGF2alpha ratio play an important role in regulating the estrous cycle and establishment of pregnancy. The enzymes downstream of cyclooxygenase-2 may determine the PGE2/PGF2alpha ratio in the porcine uterus. Thus, we have cloned porcine PGF synthase (PGFS) and microsomal PGE synthase-1 (mPGES-1) and characterized their expression in porcine endometrium

Lao PDR has been relatively successful in raising incomes and reducing poverty since the early 1990s. However, the gains in terms of poverty reduction are unevenly distributed across regions and population groups. This paper uses a detailed household survey data set to examine the determinants of income and poverty in Lao PDR. The results suggest that household size, dependency ratios, education,

Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet är att utifrån studenters livsberättelser, få kunskap om och förståelse för hur de upplever och hanterar sjuksköterskeutbildningens olika delar med särskilt fokus på spänningsfälten mellan: yrkesexamen ? akademisk examen, högskoleförlagd utbildning ? verksamhetsförlagd utbildning samt huvudämnet omvårdnad ? stödämnet medicinsk vetenskap. Syftet är vidare att få kThe aim of this study is to gain knowledge and understanding of how nursing students experience and manage the different parts of the education. A particular focus is set on the tension between a professional degree and an academic degree, between theoretical and clinical studies, and between the subjects nursing and medical science. Furthermore, the aim is to gain knowledge and understanding of a

In this paper, we investigate the impact of spatial coupling on the thresholds of turbo-like codes. Parallel concatenated and serially concatenated convolutional codes as well as braided convolutional codes (BCCs) are compared by means of an exact density evolution (DE) analysis for the binary erasure channel (BEC). We propose two extensions of the original BCC ensemble to improve its threshold an

This study is an extension of previous studies, Hagnell (1991) and Hagnell(1996), where the data used are annual time series for the whole of Sweden during the period 1751-1850 for the crude birth rate, the death rate for ages 20-50 years, the crude marriage rate and an index of the real wages. The aim of the study of Hagnell (1991) was to investigate the relationships between ferility, adult mort

Abstract in Norwegian At eierskap kan uttrykkes på flere måter i språk, er kjent, og også at ulike typer eierskapsrelasjoner uttrykkes ulikt innenfor ett og samme. Imidlertid finnes det noen misoppfatninger når det gjelder norsk, som at norsk bare har et rudimentært system for eierskapskategorier (Stolz et al. 2008). Vi viser at norsk tvert imot har et rikt system av kategorier og uttrykksformer.
