It has been suggested that electromagnetic fields (EMF) act as promoters late in the carcinogenesis process. To date, however, there is no convincing laboratory evidence that EMFs cause tumour promotion at non-thermal exposure levels. Therefore the effects of exposure to electromagnetic fields were investigated in a rat brain glioma model. Some of the exposures correspond to electromagnetic fields

Boken "Bibeln och Koranen" handlar om tre abrahamiriska religionerna;judendom, kristendom och islam. Författaren jämför de heliga texterna av dessa systerreligioner.

Hans Rott is well-known for his work on belief revision theory in the tradition founded by Carlos Alchourro´ n, Peter Ga¨ rdenfors and David Makinson (hereafter, ‘AGM’) to which he has contributed in a number of fine articles. One of his main achievements is the establishment of far-reaching connections between AGM-style belief revision theory and the classical theory of rational choice, as the la

The individual lifetimes of three low-lying states in the proton-decaying well-deformed rotational band in the second minimum of the N = Z nucleus Cu-58 were determined. Doppler-shift attenuated gamma -ray lineshapes were analyzed following the fusion-evaporation reaction C-40,(Mg-24,1 alpha 1p1n)Cu-58 and using the EUROBALL gamma -ray spectrometer coupled to ancillary detector systems. The deduce

BRCA1 mutations, although implicated in disease predisposition in a major part of the hereditary breast cancer population, do not seem to be crucially involved in tumorigenesis of sporadic breast and ovarian cancers. This suggests that tumours arising in BRCA1 mutation carriers may differ from BRCA1 negative hereditary and sporadic cancer in genetic and biological features, as well as in clinical

We construct hadronic potentials that describe the spectrum and decays of electromagnetic bound states of hadrons, and are consistent with Chiral Perturbation Theory. This procedure enables one to clarify the status of the calculations-based on potential models-of the electromagnetic corrections to the observables of hadronic atoms and to the strong scattering amplitudes at low energy.

PURPOSE. Adult human corneal epithelial basement membrane ( EBM) and Descemet's membrane ( DM) components exhibit heterogeneous distribution. The purpose of the study was to identify changes of these components during postnatal corneal development. METHODS. Thirty healthy adult corneas and 10 corneas from 12-day- to 3-year-old children were studied by immunofluorescence with antibodies against BM

The benefit of including isoniazid-containing Lowenstein-Jensen medium for primary isolation of mycobacteria was evaluated in 3,726 clinical specimens. This media increased the primary isolation of mycobacteria other than Mycobacterium tuberculosis by 9.2%, facilitated macroscopical reading and aided presumptive identification of the isolated mycobacteria.

The work with the Nordic consensus report on asthma management started some years ago. The Nordic countries have common socioeconomic conditions. We acknowledge the international as well as other European guidelines providing valuable recommendations. Nevertheless, we felt the need to combine the common Nordic experiences in order to have a local statement of asthma and asthma care, based upon Nor

We report on large-scale ab initio multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock (MCDF) calculations for spectral lines of Si IX, with emphasis on the forbidden transitions 2p(2) P-3(J-->J'). The J = 0 --> J' = 1 transition at 3.9346 mu m holds promise as a diagnostic of coronal magnetic fields if and when future coronagraphic instruments can measure the polarized light at this wavelength.

Osmoderma eremita (Scopoli) is an endangered scarab beetle living in hollow trees. It has mainly been known for its characteristic odor, typically described as a fruity, peachlike or plumlike aroma. The odor emanating from a single beetle can sometimes be perceived from a distance of several meters. In this paper, we show that the characteristic odor from O. eremita is caused by the compound (R)-(

This paper presents a semi-empirical combined-slip tiremodel including transient behavior. The method relies on theassumption that the transient behavior is a result from the dynamicdeformation of the tire carcass and that the interaction between thelateral and longitudinal slip and forces can be explained by thedeformation of the rubber treads. The deformation of the tire carcassmakes the tread s
