The world-famous 'Orsten' Konservat-Lagerstätte has yielded detailed information about Cambrian arthropods and their morphology. Internal organs or soft tissues have, however, rarely been reported, an obvious palaeobiological drawback. In this study, we employed synchrotron radiation X-ray tomographic microscopy (SRXTM) to study microscopic 'Orsten' arthropods from the Cambrian of Sweden: Skara mi

An anthropomorphic phantom study was carried out in 2013-14 in two hospitals, one located in Russia (Mariinsky Hospital, Saint Petersburg) and the other in Sweden (Skåne University Hospital, Malmö). The aim of the study was to investigate the possibilities to reduce the patient dose from digital X-ray chest screening examinations. The existing chest imaging protocols were adjusted by changing the

Context We have previously shown that high levels of atrial natriuretic peptides (ANP) are associated with decreased risk of future diabetes development; however, the mechanism behind this relationship is not fully understood.

Enligt Högskoleförordningen skall den som avlägger doktorsexamen kunna uppvisa en färdighet att i både tal och skrift delta i nationell och internationell forskningsdebatt. I denna artikel uppmärksammas några av de särskilda utmaningar som denna inriktning ställer forskarhandledare i humaniora och teologi inför. Intervjuer med tre rutinerade handledare redovisas och analyseras. Det framkommer att

OBJECTIVES: To determine whether endometrial volume or power Doppler indices as measured by three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound imaging can discriminate between benign and malignant endometrium, to compare their diagnostic performance with that of endometrial thickness measurement using two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound examination, and to determine whether power Doppler indices add any diagnostic inf

Popular Abstract in Spanish Resumen En esta tesis se describe el desarrollo y la posterior aplicación en el aula de los Modelos Didácticos del Subjuntivo 1 y 2, cuyo mecanismo se centra en la utilización de una pregunta con la cual el estudiante podrá hacer la elección modal más adecuada para cada caso. El modelo unifica conceptos y valores adjudicados al subjuntivo y presenta la gramática desde uAbstract In the present thesis the development and subsequent implementation of the Didactic Models 1 and 2 of the Subjunctive is described. The models focus on the use of a question, with which the student makes the most adequate mode choice for each case. The model unifies perspective and meaning used with the subjunctive from a cognitive perspective, appealing to the inherent representational c

Background How DNA repair enzymes find the relatively rare sites of damage is not known in great detail. Recent experiments and molecular data suggest that individual repair enzymes do not work independently of each other, but interact with each other through charges exchanged along the DNA. A damaged site in the DNA hinders this exchange. The hypothesis is that the charge exchange quickly libera
