Background: Oxidation of LDL is associated with generation of autoantibodies against a large number of different aldehyde-modified peptide sequences in apo B-100. Autoantibodies recognizing peptide sequences in the LDL receptor-binding region of apo B-100 could potentially affect both cholesterol metabolism and atherosclerosis. The aim of the present study was to determine physiological effects of
The decay of Bacillus subtilis aprE leader-lacZ mRNA was examined in Escherichia coli wild-type and in mutants deficient in RNase E, RNase G, or both. Two versions of the mRNA were studied: the wild-type mRNA, which has a stem-loop at the 5' end, and a mutant mRNA, with a single-stranded 5' end. The half-life of both transcripts was determined by RNase E, the half-life of the mutant transcript bei
The paper addresses the question of whether there is a correlation between the grammatical developmental level and the lexical developmental level in the written production of learners of French as a foreign language. We have applied a number of quantitative and lexical measures and one grammatical measure to 40 texts in French written by two groups Swedish adults with different proficiency levels
Shallow groundwater in unconsolidated sediments represents a substantial water resource in the Chinese Loess Plateau. However, prior to development of the water supply for agriculture, annual and seasonal fluctuation of the recharge mechanism should be clarified. Since the region is arid, the effect of plant water uptake on groundwater fluctuation must also be assessed. A study was therefore under
Experimental data on precipitation chemistry were collected at a semi-arid savanna in Senegal (Dahra) in 2013, 2014 and 2017. The chemical composition of precipitation was analyzed for inorganic and organic ions, using ionic chromatography. The pH values of precipitation range from 4.50 to 8.50 with 89% of the samples having basic pH. The composition of precipitation was controlled by four source
Naturliga metanutsläpp sker från våra våtmarker världen över. Metan produceras naturligt genom nedbrytning i de syrefria förhållanden som en våtmark erbjuder. För att bättre kunna modellera och skala upp hur mycker metan som faktiskt släpps ut från dessa våtmarker måste ytterligare förståelse skapas över varför metanutsläppen varierar så kraftigt både i tid och rum. Denna studie försöker öka först
A welfare state consists of a variety of client organisations withinwhich, among other professions, academics and social workers areactive. Social work as a profession has developed in a welfare contextwhere changes at the different levels of the individual, organisationand society constantly pose new challenges to the profession.When a society undergoes a total transformation, this also affectshi
Background: Infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy (INAD) is a rare hereditary neurological disorder caused by mutations in PLA2G6. The disease commonly affects children below 3 years of age and presents with delay in motor skills, optic atrophy and progressive spastic tetraparesis. Studies of INAD in Africa are extremely rare, and genetic studies from Sub Saharan Africa are almost non-existent. Case pre
Molecular dynamics simulations, binding free energy calculations, principle component analysis (PCA), and residue interaction network analysis were employed in order to investigate the molecular mechanism of M184I single mutation which played pivotal role in making the HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) totally resistant to lamivudine. Results showed that single mutations at residue 184 of RT caused
Detaljerade data är avgörande vid karaktärisering av komplexa förorenade områden. I denna studie utrustar vi ett antal G360-brunnssystem med Star-Oddi milli-TD-tryckgivare i ett mestadels PCE (tetrakloretylen)- och TCE (trikloretylen)-förorenat bostadsområde i Helsingborg. Trots att dessa tryckgivare vanligtvis används inom marina undersökningar gör deras kostnad samt kompakta storlek dem av intre
