An algorithm for multiple sequence comparison was implemented in FORTRAN 77 for VAX/VMS in GCG-compatible format. The MULTICOMP program package includes several procedures with which one query sequence can be compared simultaneously to several DNA, RNA or amino acid sequences. The same technique was also introduced for comparing propensities of secondary structural features, which can be predicted

PURPOSE: To evaluate the long-term results of a prospective, longitudinal case series of untreated, traumatic triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) tears found in displaced distal radial fractures. METHODS: Between 1995 and 1997, 51 patients (24 men, 27 women; age, 20-57 y) with a displaced distal radius fracture had wrist arthroscopy to identify associated injuries. Forty-three patients had c

Popular Abstract in Swedish Mer än 75 % av energianvändningen i världen kommer idag från förbränning av fossila bränslen, biobränslen och avfall. Trots att alternativa energikällor är på framfart kommer förbränning stå för den största andelen av världens energianvändning även de kommande decennierna. Tyvärr medför förbränning flera negativa konsekvenser, såsom ökad koldioxidhalt i atmosfären och uLaser-induced incandescence, LII, is a laser-diagnostic technique that can be used to measure the volume fraction and the sizes of soot particles suspended in a gas, such as within a combustion process or in its exhausts. The technique is based on the facts that the time-decay of the radiation from laser-heated soot particles is directly related to the particle size in the probed volume, and that

Background: Evidence-based guidelines should in most cases be followed also in the treatment of elderly. Older people are often suboptimally treated with the recommended drugs. Objectives: To describe how well general practitioners adhere to current guidelines in the treatment of elderly with cardiovascular disease and evaluate local education as a tool for improvement. Method: Data was colle

In this chapter, the advantages and disadvantages of 3D fast spin echo (FSE) pCASL as a measure of brain tumor perfusion are reviewed. In addition, we compare pCASL with other perfusion techniques and discuss future ASL approaches. A prospective study of 28 patients with contrast-enhancing brain tumors was performed at 3 T using dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) MRI and pCASL. The visual quali

Abstract in UndeterminedThis article discusses the staff’s view on dementia and its impact on the care delivered arising outof a qualitative comparative study focusing on long-term care of older people in France, Portugaland Sweden. The aim was to explore the staff’s view on the illness dementia; on older peoplesuffering from dementia; the care provided and the impact of various views on the care.

Dynamics of spontaneous decay and corresponding emission spectrum areexactly treated for a system of two identical two-level atoms in 1D.Just a one-dimensional case is considered in order to maximally extractan information on mutual influence of spatially remote atoms through theradiation field. As a result, an effect is revealed and considered indetail that there exist stable (metastable) entangl

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bioprocesser är samlingsnamnet på alla de system där man utnyttjar någon biologiskt aktiv komponent (biokatalysator) för att utföra (katalysera) en bestämd reaktion. I den här avhandlingen används ordet bioprocess för mikrobiologiska odlingsprocesser, och biokatalysatorn är då en mikroorganism. Man kan utnyttja mikroorganismer för att producera t.ex. enzymer (för miljövThe control of cultivation conditions and its influence on growth and production have been investigated. The use of fed-batch processes have been demonstrated for several cultivation systems and so has the use of different control signals in these systems. Fed-batch cultivation of Pseudomonas cepacia with on-line measurement and control of the growth rate limiting (toxic) substrate, sodium-salicy

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a polygenic and multifactorial disease. Many complex immunological and genetic interactions are involved in the final out come of the clinical disease. To understand the various disease pathways operating during the disease course, we need many different animal models. Collagen induced arthritis (CIA) is one of the widely used animal models sharing many pathological an

This Masters’ Thesis aimed to explore the possibilities that the new generation of portable hardware called wearables presents us with. More powerful and smaller devices with a wide array of sensors and cameras are not only becoming possible, but available at prices that are affordable to the average consumer in the first world. But as powerful as modern day technology is, things such as advanced

The purpose was to investigate whether the Merton Model works in emerging markets and if it does how efficient it works there compared to in mature markets. Findings show that the Merton model works in emerging markets and considers country specific information, yet only through stock prices and volatility. However, the model does not account for quality and availability of information in thes
