Popular Abstract in English At our workplace, at home, and on the road, we rely on software. It has become one of the central technologies on which we base our society. Yet, software is perhaps the major technology that is understood the least by the general population. Most software today is written in languages that requires the programmer to specify not only what is to be achieved, but also hoWriting efficient parallel programs is the biggest challenge of the software industry for the foreseeable future. We are currently in a time when parallel computers are the norm, not the exception. Soon, parallel processors will be standard even in cell phones. Without drastic changes in hardware development, all software must be parallelized to its fullest extent. Parallelism can increase perfor

Today it is generally accepted that the Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine protects against childhood tuberculosis (TB) but this immunity wanes with age, resulting in insufficient protection against adult pulmonary TB. Hence, one possible strategy to improve the protective efficacy of the BCG vaccine would be to boost in adulthood. In this study, using the mouse model, we evaluated the ability

Realization of stable spin states in surface-supported magnetic molecules is crucial for their applications in molecular spintronics, memory storage or quantum information processing. In this work, we studied the surface magnetism of dimetallo-azafullerene Tb2@C79N, showing a broad magnetic hysteresis in a bulk form. Surprisingly, monolayers of Tb2@C79N exhibited a completely different behavior, w

To investigate the effect of oral calcium (Ca2+) supplementation on insulin sensitivity measured by the euglycaemic hyperinsulinaemic clamp, intraplatelet cationic concentration of Ca2+ ([Ca2+](i)) and the transmembrane sodium-hydrogen exchanger (NHE) activity in erythrocytes in subjects with Type 2 diabetes and hypertension. In this parallel randomized controlled single-blinded trial, 31 patients

The complex structural behavior of tau-[AgCu](similar to 0.92)V4O10 has been elucidated by single crystal X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis. The tau-phase region is apparently composed of several distinct phases and this study identifies at least three: tau(1rt) tau(2rt) and tau(1t), tau(1rt) and tau(2rt) have slightly different compositions and crystal habits. Both phases transform to Tit at

New calorimetric methods for direct measurement of solubility and solvent activity are presented. The classical role of calorimetry for measurements of enthalpic parameters is abandoned and the technique is instead used for assessing thermodynamic quantities related to the chemical potential of a substance in a solution. Isothermal calorimetry is here employed as a general analytical method where

A bioelectronic tongue has been developed for applications in wastewater analysis. The development of a biosensor array with complex signal analysis started from the idea of using group-selective phenol biosensors (tyrosinase and horseradish peroxidase) with chemometric analysis for signal processing. In a first step the ability to simultaneously determine each analyte in synthetic binary phenol m

There are water vapour condensation and two-phase flow in plate heat exchangers when they are used as condensers. Water phase change and flow dynamics modelling is an important but complicated task due to large change in water physical/transport properties across the water liquid-vapour interface boundary. In particular, singular-link behaviour in governing equations is present due to the large st

Metal chelate affinity precipitation (MCAP) has been successfully developed as a simple purification process for proteins that have affinity for metal ions. The present lack of widespread applications for this technique as compared to immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) may be related to the scarcity of well-characterized metal affinity macroligands (AML) and their applications to the

Enteral exposure of suckling rats to phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) has been shown to induce growth and precocious functional maturation of the gastrointestinal tract. The aim of the present study was to explore the mechanism of this action. Suckling rats, 14 d old, were fed a single dose of PHA (0.05 mg/g body weight) or saline. The binding of PHA to the gut epithelium and its effect on the morphology

Background: There has been an increasing number of single-centre studies describing the long-term outcomes of patients with Hirschsprung disease. This study aimed to systematically review the literature on long-term bowel, urological, and sexual functional outcomes, fertility and quality of life in adults with Hirschsprung disease. Methods: A PROSPERO-registered systematic review of the English li

Many cells express receptors for plasminogen (Pg), although the responsible molecules in most cases are poorly defined. In contrast, the group A streptococcal surface protein PAM contains a domain with two 13-amino acid residue long repeated sequences (a1 and a2) responsible for Pg binding. Here we identify the region in Pg that interacts with PAM. A radiolabeled proteolytic plasminogen fragment c

Popular science summary: Genetic aberrations underlying adipocytic tumour development Adipocytic tumours are the most common mesenchymal tumours. We have identified genetic aberrations in such tumours using high-resolution single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array analysis. We have also performed functional studies of specific genetic aberrations and found genes of importance for tumour develo
