This review outlines the pearls and pitfalls of calcitonin-gene related protein (CGRP) immunohistochemistry of the brain. Pearls: In 1985, CGRP was first described in cerebral arteries using immunohistochemistry. Since then, cerebral CGRP (and, using novel antibodies, its receptor components) has been widely scrutinized. Here, we describe the distribution of cerebral CGRP and pay special attention
The excited-state structure of a dinuclear platinum(II) complex with tert-butyl substituted pyrazolate bridging units, [Pt(ppy)(μ-(t)Bu(2)pz)](2) (ppy = 2-phenylpyridine; (t)Bu(2)pz = 3,5-di-tert-butylpyrazolate) is studied by X-ray transient absorption (XTA) spectroscopy to reveal the transient electronic and nuclear geometry. DFT calculations predict that the lowest energy triplet excited state,
Popular Abstract in Swedish Vid vår vanligaste ledsjukdom, artros, sker en progressiv förstöring av ledbrosk beroende på en störd balans mellan nedbrytning och nybildning av broskets extracellulära matrix. Ledbrosket utsätts för stort slitage och broskceller – kondrocyter – glest positionerade i vävnaden står för både nysyntes av broskmolekyler och för huvuddelen av nedbrytandet av slitna molekyleBackground: In osteoarthritis (OA) the balance of cartilage matrix synthesis and degradation is disturbed, resulting in a gradual destruction of the articular cartilage. Matrix components released into body fluids by proteolytic cleavage can be used as biomarkers of ongoing processes. This thesis focuses on proteolytic degradation of the proteoglycan aggrecan with the overall aim to study the pote
The paper is concerned with estimation of heat and power consumption in a conceptual plant to produce hydrogen from sucrose-containing or starchy biomass by fermentation. A hydrogen plant connected with a sugar factory is regarded as the basic option; the sugar factory serves as a source of sucrose-containing thick juice for the hydrogen plant, where this feedstock is processed to hydrogen. As ano
A measurement of event-plane correlations involving two or three event planes of different order is presented as a function of centrality for 7 mu b(-1) Pb + Pb collision data at v root s(NN) = 2.76 TeV, recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Fourteen correlators are measured using a standard event-plane method and a scalar-product method, and the latter method is found to
This article deals with the scientific factors that have contributed to the dominance of motorised transport and the development of theoretical approaches in transport planning. Connections are made to modernism and to the theories within the field of transport planning that have created today’s transport systems. Connections are then made to the field of bicycle planning. It is argued that there
Biographic sketches are provided for 19 of Austrian botanists who contributed in different ways to the knowledge on lichens of the European Alps: Othmar Breuss, Carl Wilhelm von Dalla Torre, Helmut Gams, Georg Gärtner, Martin Grube, Josef Hafellner, Karl von Keissler, Ernst Kernstock, Helmut Mayrhofer, Walter Obermayer, Josef Poelt, Karl Redinger, Julius Steiner, Elfriede Stocker-Wörgötter, Elisab
Abstract in UndeterminedGaps in measured discharge series are common in Iceland, especially during winter, but reconstructed series are needed for a number of applications. Modeled series are therefore sometimes used to fill the gaps to create a continuous series, but the modeled inserts may have different statistical characteristics from the observed series, whilst their initial and final values
Popular Abstract in Swedish Personlighetspsykologer har i mer än ett århundrade försökt att identifiera och beskriva observerbara skillnader mellan individer. Bland dessa indiduella skillnader har intelligens och personlighet fått stor uppmärksamhet inom skolvärlden, liksom elevers förhållningssätt till sitt lärande. Kunskapen om vilka faktorer som påverkar studieresultat har viktiga praktiska konThe aim of the present doctoral thesis was to examine to what extent personality traits and approaches to learning contribute to academic performance in upper secondary school (high school), after controlling for the well-known fact that general intelligence accounts for a large part of the variance. The general proposition of the thesis is that personality traits are stable dispositons and theref
We have compared the predictions of ligand-binding affinities from several methods based on end-point molecular dynamics simulations and continuum solvation, i.e. methods related to MM/PBSA (molecular mechanics combined with Poisson-Boltzmann and surface area solvation). Two continuum-solvation models were considered, viz. the Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) and generalised Born (GB) approaches. The non-el
This paper presents a novel observation on Swedish subordinate clause structure. I show that in embedded V2 clauses, negation may only precede quantified subjects in the position following the complementizer; this is the very same limitation as found in the first position of main clauses. This correlation I take to provide a strong argument for assuming V-to-C movement in embedded V2 clauses. This
Glaucoma is a common ophthalmic disease with multifactorial aetiology. There is growing evidence that glaucoma is a disease of the entire retina and not only the inner retina. Best vitelliform macular dystrophy (BVMD) affects the retinal pigment epithelium and is considered a model system for the more common blinding disease, age-related macular degeneration. The aim of the work presented in this
Co-production of high-value biobased products in biorefineries is a promising option for optimized utilization of biomass. Lignocellulosic materials such as agricultural and forest residues have been identified as attractive alternative feedstocks because of their high availability and low resource demand. This study assessed the greenhouse gas (GHG) performance and energy balance of ethanol co-pr
We present a theory for a complete reconstruction of nonlocal spin correlations in ferromagnet-normal conductors. This quantum spin tomography is based on cross-correlation measurements of electric currents into ferromagnetic terminals with controllable magnetization directions. For normal injectors, nonlocal spin correlations are universal and strong. The correlations are suppressed by spin-flip
The recent English translation of the diary of the Swedish naturalist Daniel Rolander (written 1754-1756) reveals the earliest records on useful plants of Suriname. Since he did not grant Linnaeus access to his specimens, Rolander never received credit for his work, part of his collection was lost, and his diary never published. Here we compare Rolander's notes with recent ethnobotanical data from
New measurements by the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider for. production at midrapidity as a function of transverse momentum ((PT)) and collision centrality in root s(NN) = 200 GeV Au + Au and p + p collisions are presented. They indicate nuclear modification factors (R-AA) which are similar in both magnitude and trend to those found in earlier pi(0) measurements. Linear fi
Background: Use of three-dimensional (3D) color volume-rendered (VR) images has been reported to be more time-efficient compared to that of cross-sectional computed tomography (CT) images for the diagnosis of peroneal tendon dislocation. However, the diagnostic performance of this technique has not been studied. Purpose: To test diagnostic accuracy of 3D color VR CT images of ankle for peroneal te
