Ash is produced in combustion of biomass. Sonic part of this matter is called fly ash and is carried by the flow and causes not only air pollution and erosion, but also call affect the thermal radiation. The effects of fly ash particles oil the thermal radiation are considered ill this investigation. By analyzing sampled data in all electrostatic filter, a realistic particle size distribution is f

Tumor-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) offer several modes of tumor cell killing, from direct cytotoxic activity to indirect mechanisms employing the host immune system, particularly its innate branch. The latter effector functions seem to dominate among clinically approved anti-cancer mAbs and major efforts are being undertaken by both academia and the pharmaceutical industry with the aim to

The development of therapeutic and diagnostic antibodies is a rapidly growing field of research, being the fastest expanding group of products on the pharmaceutical market, and appropriate quality controls are crucial for their application. We have identified and characterized the serine protease termed BspK (Bdellovibrio serine protease K) from Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus and here show its activit

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hur gör bakterier för att komma undan immunförsvaret? Vi har studerat hur en vanligt förekommande bakterie, grupp A streptokocker, gör för att undvika kroppens immunförsvar vid infektion. Vi har upptäckt enzymer som bidrar till bakteriens förmåga att undvika immunförsvaret genom att avväpna antikroppar. De bakteriella enzymerna kan användas i bioteknisk industri och eveA majority of the proteins of the immune system are glycosylated and the glycans of IgG are essential for its functionality. Bacteria display enzymes that modulate the glycans of the immune system to weaken the host defense and favor bacterial survival. In this thesis we aimed at exploring bacterial modulation of host glycosylation in infection and to evaluate the usefulness of bacterial enzymes i

The common human pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes is the causative agent of numerous mild and severe clinical conditions. It expresses a number of secreted or cell wall-anchored proteins that modulate the human immune system and facilitate colonization and spread of the pathogen in the human host. During S. pyogenes infections, human plasma leaks into the site of infection as a consequence of infl

The M protein of Streptococcus pyogenes is a major bacterial virulence factor that confers resistance to phagocytosis. To analyze how M protein allows evasion of phagocytosis, we used the M22 protein, which has features typical of many M proteins and has two well-characterized regions binding human plasma proteins: the hypervariable NH2-terminal region binds C4b-binding protein (C4BP), which inhib

In the equation for thermal energy output from a flat-plate solar collector (written as a function of the collector mean heat carrier temperature), both the gain and the loss terms are multiplied by the collector efficiency factor, F'. For a concentrating collector with an uneven (non-uniform) irradiation on the absorber, the efficiency factor for the gain term, here called the optical efficiency

The nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse spontaneously develops autoimmune-mediated diseases such as diabetes and Sjögren′s syndrome. To investigate whether NOD genes also promote autoimmune-mediatedarthritis we established a NOD strain with an MHC class II fragment containing the Aq class II gene predisposing for collagen induced arthritis (NOD.Q). However, this mouse was resistant to arthritis in contr

In this paper the PreAmplifier ShAper (PASA) for the Time Projection Chamber (TPC) of the ALICE experiment at LHC is presented. The ALICE TPC PASA is an ASIC that integrates 16 identical channels, each consisting of Charge Sensitive Amplifiers (CSA) followed by a Pole-Zero network, self-adaptive bias network, two second-order bridged-T filters, two non-inverting level shifters and a start-up circu

ICOS Sweden is part of ICOS, an infrastructure for pan-European research on the carbon cycle and greenhouse gases. ICOS Sweden contributes with focus on northerly terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Our workshop 2016 will highlight the effects of climatic changes in the subarctic - boreal intersection. Effects of climate change in the intersection between the southern extent of soil permafrost and

The reactions in acidic aqueous solution between thiocyanate and each of the gold(II1) complexes Au(NH,)?+, rrans-Au- (NH,)zC12t, and rrans-A~(NH,)~Br~+ have been studied by use of potentiometric pH measurements and sequential-mixing stopped-flow spectrophotometry. The reactions give a common gold(1) product whereas the rate-controlling steps are different. The reaction between Au(NH,)?+ and thiocThe reactions in acidic aqueous solution between thiocyanate and each of the gold(III) complexes Au(NH3)43+, trans-Au(NH3)2C12+, and trans-Au(NH3)2Br2+ have been studied by use of potentiometric pH measurements and sequential-mixing stopped-flow spectrophotometry.
