Wild bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus) may develop diabetes in laboratory captivity. The aim of this study was to test whether bank voles develop type 1 diabetes in association with Ljungan virus. Two groups of bank voles were analyzed for diabetes, pancreas histology, autoantibodies to glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD65), IA-2, and insulin by standardized radioligand-binding assays as well as

Intended for a second course in stationary processes, Stationary Stochastic Processes: Theory and Applications presents the theory behind the field’s widely scattered applications in engineering and science. In addition, it reviews sample function properties and spectral representations for stationary processes and fields, including a portion on stationary point processes.

This letter presents computationally efficient time-updating algorithms of the recent Iterative Adaptive Approach (IAA) spectral estimation technique. By exploiting the inherently low displacement rank, together with the development of suitable Gohberg-Semencul (GS) representations, and the use of data dependent trigonometric polynomials, the proposed time-recursive IAA algorithm offers a reductio

Hitherto collected data on more than hundred α-decay chains stemming from element 115 are combined to probe some aspects of the underlying nuclear structure of the heaviest atomic nuclei yet created in the laboratory.

Drawing on the work of René Girard, his text inquires into incidental and lawful losses of civilians in the regulation of international humanitarian law as part of a symbolic order restraining violent conflict within communities. First, I inquire into central norms on targeting in IHL, explaining their internal inconsistencies. Second, I try to show that these inconsistencies can be explaining by

Popular Abstract in Swedish John Gibes avhandling indikerar att såväl 1990-talets evangelistiska analys av informationsteknologins strategiska betydelse som senare skeptiska analyser är bristfälliga. En alternativ ståndpunkt läggs fram. På basis av strategiforskningens kapabilitetsperspektiv adresserar avhandlingen särskilt e-handel i nära relationer mellan företag, en viktig praktik i vilken IT aIT has direct and observable positive effects for consumers. For firms, the situation is somewhat different, because efficiencies generated by publicly available technology tend to be competed away. Therefore, researchers from the strategy field and students of information systems have concluded that for firms, the opportunity lies in using IT better than competitors rather than in the technology
