Design and development of a roller with embedded heating for uniform temperature generation

This paper provides design experience based on 2D FE electromagnetic and heat transfer analysis that are used to support product development. An induction in-roll heater is analyzed, tested and verified. The scientific challenge is to develop fast and fair models to provide design guidelines for layout specification, material selection and performance estimation. The transferred energy capability

Stability of Adaptive Controllers

The concise, critical reviews in this volume cover recent advances in the field of xenobiotics in any segment of the environment. They also address areas of accomplishment and need and discuss toxicological implications

Messenger molecules and receptors in the human trigeminovascular system

The initiation of a migraine attack involves a primary central nervous system dysfunction with subsequent activation of the trigeminovascular system. In trigeminal ganglia, the expression of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), substance P (SP) and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) have been demonstrated by immunocytochemistry. During migraine attacks, the level of released CGRP is increased. Meanwhi

Recent progress in understanding the pathogenesis of immune thrombocytopenia

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a bleeding disorder in which both antibody and cell-mediated autoimmune responses are directed against an individual's own platelets and/or megakaryocytes, leading to either enhanced platelet destruction and/or reduced platelet production, respectively. The cause of this platelet-specific autoimmunity remains unknown, but there has been a constan

Recipient T lymphocytes modulate the severity of antibody-mediated transfusion-related acute lung injury

Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is a serious complication of transfusion and has been ranked as one of the leading causes of transfusion-related fatalities. Nonetheless, many details of the immunopathogenesis of TRALI, particularly with respect to recipient factors are unknown. We used a murine model of antibody-mediated TRALI in an attempt to understand the role that recipient lymph

Processed platelet HPA1a peptides au naturel

An understanding of how helper T cells are activated to drive blood group immune responses will help to explain the immunogenicity of antigens such as HPA-1a. In this issue of Blood, Anani Sarab and colleagues identify the naturally processed HPA1a peptides recognized by T cells and set the stage for peptide-based therapies in NAIT.(1).

Multipotent Adult Progenitor Cells Suppress T Cell Activation in In Vivo Models of Homeostatic Proliferation in a Prostaglandin E2-Dependent Manner

Lymphodepletion strategies are used in the setting of transplantation (including bone marrow, hematopoietic cell, and solid organ) to create space or to prevent allograft rejection and graft versus host disease. Following lymphodepletion, there is an excess of IL-7 available, and T cells that escape depletion respond to this cytokine undergoing accelerated proliferation. Moreover, this environment

Stem-cell-based Therapies for Improving Islet Transplantation Outcomes in Type 1 Diabetes

INTRODUCTION: Beta-cell replacement by human islets or whole pancreas offers a life-saving therapeutic remedy for patients suffering from type 1 diabetes, providing considerable advantages with respect to diminishing total daily insulin dose and lowering frequencies of debilitating hypoglycemic reactions as well as preventing chronic micro- and macrovascular complications. Although remarkable prog

Developing understandings of occupational (in)justice with occupational therapy students in a transnational project

This article describes an innovative transnational education project involving three European universities, funded through ERASMUS+. One of its aims was to develop and provide a curriculum to facilitate students’ understanding and identification of occupational (in)justice by exposing them to marginalised people living in three European communities with differing cultural, social, and political sy

Inga drastiska förändringar när Irans nye president installeras

Irans nye president har starka kopplingar till landets högste ledare Ali Khamenei, och Iran kommer att fortsätta på den inslagna vägen av diktatur och förtryck, hävdar debattörerna Arvin och Ardavan Khoshnood i en analys av den nye presidenten och Irans framtid under honom.Iran’s new president has strong ties to the country’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei, and Iran will continue on the path of dictatorship and oppression, argue debaters Arvin and Ardavan Khoshnood in an analysis of the new president and Iran’s future under him.

Consumer preferences for low-salt foods - A Danish case study based on a comprehensive supermarket intervention

Objective: The objective is to analyze Danish consumers' attitudes to buying food with reduced salt content. Design: The study is based on a comprehensive store intervention that included 114 stores belonging to the same supermarket chain. Three different salt claims were tested for eight weeks on six test products within the categories bread, cornflakes and frozen pizzas. Scanner data were supple

Resilience and Surveillance in Hann's Eurasia

Chapter in a Festschrift to anthropologist Chris Hann. Focuses on his work in Eastern Europe and Eurasia, especially the notions of how people 'accommodate' the regimes, concepts of civil society, resilience and surveillance as a unifying concept for Hann's work on Eurasia.
