In 2002, the Romanian National Reference Laboratory was invited to join the Strep-EURO project to study invasive Streptococcus pyogenes infections. During 2003 and 2004, a total of 33 isolates recovered from invasive disease were received from eight Romanian counties.

Three types of Gafchromic films have been studied to investigate their potential for use as a visually readable dosemeter for persons acting as first responders in connection with radiological or nuclear emergencies. The two most sensitive film types show a pronounced variation in sensitivity by photon energy and are therefore not suitable for use in cases of unknown exposures. The third film type

OBJECTIVE: To define age-adjusted incidence trends in multiple myeloma (MM) in a well-characterized population during a long period, given that some, but not all, studies have reported increasing MM incidence over time and that clinical experience from some centers suggests an increased incidence mainly in younger age groups. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We identified all patients (N=773) with MM diagnos

Popular Abstract in Swedish I många företag och organisationer är planering av inköp, produktion, lagerhållning och transporter av stor betydelse för lönsamheten. Inom tillverkningsindustrin är det till exempel vanligt att värdet på lager, förråd och produkter i arbete överstiger värdet av hela produktionssystemet inklusive maskiner och byggnader. Effektiv styrning av produktion och lagerhållning In many companies and organisations the planning and control of purchasing, production, inventory and transportation is of great importance. In a manufacturing industry it is not unusual that the value of the total stock of end products and parts in production is larger than the value of the production system itself with its machines and factory buildings. Efficient control of inventory and produc

The purpose of this paper is to propose a framework of lexical meaning, broadly along the lines of Cognitive Semantics (Langacker 1987a). The paper focuses on interpretations of adjective-noun (ADJ N ) combinations in English. Within the proposed model, all aspects of meaning are to be explained in terms of properties of ontologies in conceptual space, i.e. properties of content ontologies and sch

The article is a study of Swedish post-war amateur and experimental film culture. In particular, the 50s and the gradual divide between amateurs and experimentalists are examined. Peter Weiss' filmic output is used as an example of how the various cultures collaborated and later on split apart. The aim with the essay is also to intervene in the ongoing debate concerning film historiography by argu
