X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to study the distribution of elements and main wood components (cellulose and lignin) within the wood and at the bark/wood interface of a living hybrid aspen stem. The hybrid aspen was grown upright in a greenhouse and then tilted at similar to45degrees to induce tension wood formation and upright bending of the stem. The wood between the pith and th
Popular Abstract in Swedish I beredskapen för kärnolyckor är mobila in situ gammaspektrometriska mätningar ett viktigt redskap; vilket betyder att mätinstrument placeras i ett fordon (tex bil, flygplan eller helikopter) och gammastrålningen från omgivningen mäts under körning. I detta arbete har strategier och analysmetoder för två olika användningsområden utvecklats: 1) sökning av försvunna radioMobile in situ gamma spectrometry is an important instrument in the emergency preparedness for nuclear accidents. This work contributes through the development of strategies and analysis methods for two applications: an on-line search for gamma-emitting orphan sources and on-line estimation of the depth distribution of 137Cs. A strategy and analysis method dedicated to the detection of orphan sour

The properties of the arterial vasculature depend to a large extent on the activities of smooth muscle cells, which, in turn, are determined by their extracellular environment. During pathological conditions, such as atherosclerosis, this interaction is altered. In close proximity to medial smooth muscle cells are basement membrane components, such as different isoforms of laminin. These proteins
Lean premixed turbulent methane-air flames have been investigated using direct numerical simulations (DNS) for different Karlovitz numbers (Ka), ranging from 65 to 3350. The flames are imposed to a high intensity small-scale turbulent environment, corresponding to high Ka conditions, and the effect on the flame structure is investigated during the transition from initial laminar flame to highly di

We measured lung density by means of x-ray computed tomography and lung mechanics in 33 workers exposed to asbestos cement and in 39 normal subjects. The exposed group showed evidence of lung fibrosis with reduced static lung volumes and lung compliance, although only three subjects had signs of interstitial fibrosis at standard chest radiography. Lung density was significantly increased in the ex
The search for new cancer biomarkers is essential for fundamental research, diagnostics, as well as for patient treatment and monitoring. Whereas most cancer biomarkers are biomolecules, an increasing number of studies show that mechanical cues are promising biomarker candidates. Although cell deformability has been shown to be a possible cancer biomarker, cellular forces as cancer biomarkers have
Computed tomography (CT) is often a justified diagnostic tool, but is also associated with high exposure of the patients. Due to the rapid increase in the number of CT units and thus the availability of CT examinations in Russia, there is a growing need for optimisation within this field. In order to develop proper optimisation procedures for CT, the two regions St. Petersburg and Belgorod of Russ
The possibilities of the use of structural reliability analysis in concrete dam design and assessment is investigated in Sweden. For such analysis, statistical descriptions of the loads and resistances are necessary. Uplift pressure has a large impact on safety, and is difficult to quantify. This paper describes the methodology of a geostatistical approach to simulate the uplift pressure, and an e
PURPOSE: Hypoxia is one of the most important factors influencing clinical outcome after radiotherapy. Improved knowledge of factors affecting the levels and distribution of oxygen within a tumor is needed. The authors constructed a theoretical 3D model based on histological images to analyze the influence of vessel density and hemoglobin (Hb) concentration on the response to irradiation.METHODS:
The aim of this study is to analyze whether the presence of weed species resistant to herbicides is related to landscape heterogeneity and environmental variables. C3 and C4 weed species, such as Chenopodium album, Conyza canadensis, Amaranthus retroflexus, Papaver rhoeas, Sorghum halepense, Echinochloa crus-galli and Lolium rigidum, are studied in two differing bioclimatic countries, Greece and G
Aims: The airways of patients with asthma are characterized by chronic inflammatory changes comprising mainly T-cells and eosinophils, and airway remodelling with goblet cell metaplasia and submucosal gland hyperplasia. Mucus hypersecretion is often a marked feature, particularly in status asthmaticus. The matrix of airway sputum consists of high molecular glycoproteins and mucins. In this study,

One of the most common types of bridges in Sweden is the integral bridge. What characterizes the integral bridge is the lack of bearings and expansion joints. The advantage of this construction is that the horizontal forces can be distributed throughout the structure. A problem is the restraint forces that occur due to, for instance, changes in temperature. Integral bridges are now often designed
Hirschsprung’s disease is a rare, congenital disease characterized by a lack of nerves in parts of the gastrointestinal tract. The disease is often diagnosed early in a child’s life, as the lack of nerves inhibits the passing of stool. Surgery is required to remove the affected part of the intestine. Today intra-operative biopsies are taken to determine where the diseased part of the intestine end
Collagen VII is an essential anchoring protein in the basement membrane zone, maintaining the attachment of stratified and pseudostratified epithelia to the underlying interstitial matrix. However, collagen VII is largely unexplored in normal lungs and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a disease characterized by excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) and aberrant re-epithelializat
