The purpose of this investigation was to test calorimetry as a means of quantifying cell damage occurring at various stages of mild blanching treatments. Calorimetric measurements were carried out on cores taken from carrot slices blanched at 100 degreesC for 5-45 s. The calorimetric data were corrected for the influence of wounding stress due to slicing and coring. The validity of calorimetry to

Diurnal and nocturnal hawkmoths (Sphingidae, Lepidoptera) have three spectral types of receptor sensitive to ultraviolet, blue and green light. As avid flower visitors and pollinators, they use olfactory and visual cues to find and recognise flowers. Moths of the diurnal species Macroglossum stellatarum and the nocturnal species Deilephila elpenor, Hyles lineata and Hyles gallii use and learn the

I denna rapport redovisas teoretiska beräkningar av energibehov till uppvärmning, tappvarmvatten och hushållselektricitet, energitransporter genom småhusens grunder och energiflöden genom köldbryggor. Beräkningarna omfattar 26 småhus på Bo 92 i Örebro med olika typer av grundläggning, värmeisolering, fönster, värme- och ventilationssystem. Beräkningarna har utförts med datorprogrammen ENORM, CRAWL

In this work a one-dimensional model for the mass and heat transport in the thickness direction of paper has been developed. Solid-based coordinates were applied to simplify incorporation of shrinkage. Liquid diffusion, gas convection and vapour and air diffusion were incorporated as mass transport mechansims. In the heat balance the convective heat transport and heat conduction were included. Spe

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-reduced form (NADH):quinone oxidoreductase (respiratory Complex I), F420H2 oxidoreductase and complex, membrane-bound NiFe-hydrogenase contain protein subunits homologous to a certain type of bona fide antiporters. In Complex I, these polypeptides (NuoL/ND5, NuoM/ND4, NuoN/ND2) are most likely core components of the proton pumping mechanism, and it is thus importa

The authors examined Swedish judges', lay judges', and police officers' beliefs about factors that may complicate or facilitate children's reports of sexual abuse. Participants (N = 562) rated potential complicating and facilitating factors and freely reported which criteria they considered important when assessing the reliability of child witnesses. The groups had similar opinions regarding which

We address the simple question, whether Hartree-Fock atoms are smaller or larger than exact (Schrodinger) atoms. As a measure, we use . We study the ground state of the atoms He-Kr. The unrestricted Hartree-Fock method is used. To obtain the Schrodinger values we use the finite field CASPT2 approach, and the full CI scheme where possible. CASSCF calculations are also reported. Very large bas

Denna skrift handlar om hur lång tid betongkonstruktioner måste torka efter uppförandet för att man inte ska få skador i angränsande konstruktioner och ytskikt - till exempel bubbling av mattor, mögel, röta, ökade emissioner.

PURPOSE: We measured serum levels of human glandular kallikrein 2 (hK2) in patients with prostate cancer treated with radical retropubic prostatectomy for clinically localized prostate cancer to determine whether preoperative hK2 levels discriminate stage pT2a/b from pathological stage T3a or greater cancer. This finding would help to predict preoperatively the organ confined versus non-organ conf

Simultaneous measurements of particle size distribution (size/range 10-700 nm) inside an urban street canyon and a nearby urban background location in Copenhagen in May-November 2001 were used to separate the traffic source contribution in the street canyon from the background levels. The background concentrations are highly variable due to changing contributions from long-range transport and loca
