One major problem in microwave-induced clinical hyperthermia treatment of superficial tumours is to obtain therapeutic temperatures at the tumour periphery and adequate deep heating when using a single applicator. The use of multiple applicators has therefore been investigated in order to improve the power distribution. Anatomical surface topography often permits the application of two tilted appl
Regional blood flow in rat liver and in inoculated liver tumors was studied before, during and after local hyperthermia treatment at 42.0°C for one hour. Hyperthermia was induced by microwave irradiation of the central liver lobe. The method used for blood flow studies was the clearance of Xenon-133 following portal and intraparenchymal injection. The wash-out curves were analyzed by using a bi-ex
The uptake of97Ru-transferrin (Ru-TF) in tumor and abscess bearing animals was compared with67Ga-citrate (Ga),123I-transferrin (I-TF), and several other plasma proteins. Maximal concentration in tumor of Ru-TF in mice was three times higher than67Ga-citrate (16.80±4.20 vs 5.08±0.58% D/g) although it occurred later (24 h compared with67Ga which reached its maximum 2 h after injection). Whole body a
The blood flow in rat liver was measured with Xe-133. Three techniques for administering the activity to the liver were employed: injection via the portal vein, via the hepatic artery, and directly into the liver parenchyma. Use of intraparenchymal injection of Xe-133 gave 60% higher flow values than by portal or arterial injection techniques. Mean flow index (k1) was for portal injection 0.52, fo
A computerized system for inducing total body hyperthermia by microwave irradiation was tested in rats. The tolerance to hyperthermia at different temperatures and fractions was studied as well as its effect on the growth of transplanted adenocarcinomas in the liver. Survival results indicated that 41.5 degrees C was maximum tolerated temperature both after single and repeated one hour exposures.
In order to support a sustainability transition in the energy sector, actors need knowledge about barriers and drivers to the deployment of clean energy technologies. Solar photovoltaics (PV) is a renewable energy technology that is technically mature and on the verge of becoming economically competitive in numerous regions around the world. Not least in the residential segment, PV has considerabl
Chloride anation of trans-Pt(CN)4ClOH2− has been studied with and without Pt(CN)42− present at 25.0 °C by use of stopped-flow and conventional spectrophotometry and a 1.00 M perchlorate medium. The rate law in the absence of Pt(CN)42− is compatible with a chloride assistance via an intermediate of the type Cl-Cl-Pt(CN)4···OH22−, in which the reactivity of the aqua ligand is enhanced due to a partiChloride anation of trans-Pt(CN)4ClOH2− has been studied with and without Pt(CN)42− present at 25.0°C by use of stopped-flow and conventional spectrophotometry and a 1.00 M perchlorate medium.

Arguing against the previous research’s presumption that the subculturalconstitutes a single set of meaning, this article addresses the simplequestion of what constitutes the subcultural? What does it mean when weaddress an object, practice, identity, or meaning structure as subcultural?Through outlining three dominant strands in regards to how subculturaldifference has been defined, the author ar
This article discusses using social media, here Instagram, as a point of access in studies on subcultural graffiti, so as to provide an established arena for initiating contact with a variety of participants. Drawing from an ongoing ethnography of Swedish graffiti writers, the approach presented here works to mitigate the often so major hurdle within ethnographic work on subcultural groups: that o
Chinese private schools may come across as a contradictory phenomenon: why would an authoritarian and officially socialist government, that needs to rely on education as an instrument of national unification and ideological control, allow for private schools and profit-making in the educational sector? However, seen against the background of the far-reaching privatisation processes that have been
During autumn 2015 we conducted a large qualitative user study on our library as a learning space. The purpose of the study was to find evidence regarding user needs, in order to be able to make well-informed decisions for a development project.The paper will discuss both the usefulness of qualitative methods in understandingstudents’ and researchers’ needs and requirements when using the library,
