Background and Objectives. Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is an aggressive disease. Patients with this malignancy have a median survival of 3 years. To better understand disease progression, which is characterized by increased proliferation, we analyzed the gene expression of MCL with different proliferative indices, as determined by immunohistochemical staining for Ki-67. Furthermore, primary and rel

Denna rapport presenterar provningar och beräkningar utförda för att fastställa de mekanismer som ligger bakom sprickbildning i puts på isolering. Den här typen av puts kännetecknas av ett putsskikt, 10-20 mm, som appliceras på isolering. Isoleringen utgörs normalt av mineralull eller cellplast. För att hålla fast putsen och förebygga sprickbildning monteras ett armeringsnät som i sin tur fästs i

Typically, velocity estimators based on the estimation of the Doppler shift will suffer from a limited unambiguous velocity range. Proposed are two novel multiple carrier based velocity estimators extending the velocity range above the Nyquist velocity limit. Numerical simulations indicate that the proposed estimators offer improved estimation performance compared to other existing techniques.

Aspartylglucosaminidase (AGA, EC 3.5.1.26) is an essential enzyme in the degradation of asparagine-linked glycoproteins. In man, deficient activity of this enzyme leads to aspartylglucosaminuria (AGU), a recessively inherited lysosomal storage disease. Here we used affinity-purified polyclonal antibodies against the native AGA and its denatured subunits to establish the molecular structure and int

Rapporten behandlar utformning av anslutningen mellan yttervägg och platta på mark samt dess inverkan på fukttillståndet i syllar av främst trämaterial. Undersökningen omfattade dels fältmätningar och dels koretiska beräkningar, dessutom gjordes en del laboratorieförsök. Rekommendationer för utformning.

The ovaries of 377 women between the age of 40 and 70 years were measured by ultrasound. About one third of the patients were postmenopausal. Mean value, standard deviation and S.E.M. of the ovarian volume were calculated and related to age, parity and menstrual cycle. Ovarian size decreased with age in all women but bore no relation to parity and day of menstrual cycle in the menstruating group o

We evaluated the incidence and clinical significance of postfracture shortening of the clavicle in 85 patients. There were 71 mid-clavicular fractures and 14 of the lateral end of the clavicle. 46 fractures were primarily undisplaced and 39 displaced. All fractures were nonoperatively treated with sling immobilization. All patients were reexamined 5 years after the fracture. 35 clavicles had heale

Taxa within the Dactylorhiza incarnata/maculata species complex form a diploid and tetraploid complex. The genetic variation revealed by molecular markers indicate that this is a young complex and that polyploidization may be an ongoing process; most, if not all, of the polyploid taxa may have evolved after the last ice age. This conclusion is supported by 1) a close correspondence in general dist

Responses to isotonic quick release of AC-stimulated smooth muscle strips from rabbit urinary bladder were analysed. Releases were performed at the peak of contraction and at a preset tension level in the contraction and relaxation phase. In other expts. responses at 37 degrees C and 27 degrees C were compared. The length response always consisted of 3 parts: (1) elastic recoil, (2) rapid length c

We calculate the cross section for c(c) over bar g -production in diffractive DIS with finite quark masses at zero momentum transfer t. The calculation is done in the leading log(1/x(P)) approximation and is valid in the region of high diffractive masses M (small 3). We apply our cross section formula including both c (c) over bar- and c(c) over bar g in a Monte Carlo simulation to diffractive D*(

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen visar två olika vägar för att skapa brukarinflytande, den kollektiv- och den individinriktade vägen. Den kollektiva inriktningen innebär att medborgarna endast kan utöva inflytande via folkvalda företrädare, medan den individinriktade vägen ger möjlighet att samverka direkt med politiker och tjänstemän i den kommunala organisationen. Två olika teorier har aThe dissertation shows two different means or directions for creating civic participation: the collective and the individual way. The collective way is characterized by the citizen's ability to participate only through elected representatives while the individual way makes it possible for inhabitants to participate face to face with politicians and local civil servants. Two different theories hav

BACKGROUND: Self-reported annoyance from electrical equipment has been in evidence since the mid-1980s, and the first reports of illness from everyday chemicals arose in the 1960s. However, the extent of the problem has not yet been fully established.AIMS: The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of annoyance related to electrical and chemical factors in a Swedish general population, a
