Seaweeds (macroalgae) are gaining attention as potential sustainable feedstock for the production of fuels and chemicals. This comparative study focuses on the characterization of the microbial production of alcohols from fermentable carbohydrates in the hydrolysate of the macroalgae Laminaria digitata as raw material. The potential of a hydrolysate as a carbon source for the production of selecte
Structured triacylglycerols (STAG) with desired properties can be synthesized by transesterification using immobilized lipases. Herein, the effect of immobilization conditions and support material on the immobilization yield, specific activity and regioselectivity of lipases from Rhizomucor miehei (RML) and Rhizopus oryzae (ROL) in the production of STAG, are evaluated. Four different support mate
A strategy for the formation of thin reconstituted cellulose films (pure or modified)) with embedded receptors or embedded ion-selective components is reported. Cellulose nanofibril ribbons from sisal of typically 3-5 nm diameter and 250 nm length are reconstituted into thin films of typically 1.5-2.0 μm thickness (or into thicker free-standing films). Cellulose and cellulose nanocomposite films a
Using a model disordered mesoporous solid with a spatial arrangement of pore sizes analogous to a macroscopic 'ink-bottle', it has been shown that the hysteresis observed in NMR cryoporometry can be deconvoluted into separate single pore and pore-blocking contributions. The suggestion of pore-blocking effects has been confirmed using PFG NMR. Hence, percolation theory has been used, for the first
Objectives: This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows:. To assess the effects of caffeine compared to aminophylline or theophylline in preterm infants at risk of apnea, with apnea, or in the peri-extubation phase.
Popular Abstract in Swedish Mekanisk ventilation kan medföra "ventilationsinducerad lungskada" (VILI), som kan öka sjuklighet och dödlighet i samband med akut lungskada (ALI). Flera ventilationssätt har föreslagits för att undvika VILI, men inte slutgiltigt utvärderats. En princip är att öka alveolär ventilation och CO2-elimination genom att minska ventilationen av de skadliga rummet, dead space. Ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) may contribute to morbidity and mortality of acute lung injury (ALI). Lung protective ventilation (LPV), that reduces VILI, may involve low tidal volume (Vt). Particularly low Vt is possible if dead space ventilation is reduced e.g. by aspiration of dead space gas (ASPIDS). ASPIDS implies that gas rich in CO2 during expiration is aspirated through a separate c

Importance: Patients with melanoma are selected for sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) based on their risk of a positive SLN. To improve selection, the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) and Melanoma Institute Australia (MIA) developed predictive models, but the utility of these models remains to be tested. Objective: To determine the clinical utility of the MIA and MSKCC models. Design
Deep learning has allowed for remarkable progress in many medical scenarios. Deep learning prediction models often require 105–107 examples. It is currently unknown whether deep learning can also enhance predictions of symptoms post-stroke in real-world samples of stroke patients that are often several magnitudes smaller. Such stroke outcome predictions however could be particularly instrumental i
