In this fast communication, we examine non-parametric data-adaptive spatial spectrum estimation using an array of sensors. We derive a forward-backward (FB) version of the recent spatial APES (SAPES) beamformer, and show that the SAPES algorithm is robust to the case of pairwise coherent sources. Numerical simulations indicate that the proposed FB version of SAPES offers higher resolution than the

Recently, plasma soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) has gained interest as a marker of cardiovascular risk. suPAR is released through the cleavage of urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR), which is found in monocytes, activated T-lymphocytes and endothelial cells, all involved in atherosclerosis. suPAR levels have been well studied in plasma, but no studies have foc

The authors have made a genome-wide analysis of mutations in Src homology 2 (SH2) domains associated with human disease. Disease-causing mutations have been detected in the SH2 domains of cytoplasmic signaling proteins Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK), SH2D1A, Ras GTPase activating protein (RasGAP), ZAP-70, SHP-2, STAT1, STAT5B, and the p85alpha subunit of the PIP3. Mutations in the BTK, SH2D1A, ZAP70

Solid waste became one of the major environmental problems in Jordan, which has been aggravated over the past 15 years by the sharp increase in the volume of waste generated as well as qualitative changes in its composition. The challenges face solid waste management (SWM) in Jordan are numerous. Financial constraints, shortage of proper equipment and limited availability of trained and skilled ma

Objectives: Studies conducted so far have found no statistically significant increased risk for cancer among children who are born after in vitro fertilization (IVF). Methods: We followed 26692 children who were born after IVF during the years 1982-2005 by using the Swedish Cancer Register and compared the number of children who had cancer and were born after IVF with children who were not conceiv

Two series of C3-benzamido and O2-anion-substituted galactopyranosides were synthesized and studied as binders to arginine-rich proteins galectin-1, -3, -7, -8N (N-terminal domain), and -9N (N-terminal domain). The first series had a 4-methylbenzamide at C3 and the anionic O2-substituent was varied. The second series varied the 4-substituent of the C3-benzamide, whereas the anionic O2 substituent

Medicine, seen as an epistemological system, has broken down the knowledge of humans and their diseases into a growing number of smaller components. This has proven to be an effective and necessary way of creating and using knowledge. It is, of course, ne

Popular Abstract in English The human plasma proteome containing disease-correlated protein biomarkers reflects the pathological and physiological changes relating to diseases. These biomarkers are of interest to aid in diagnosis, prognosis and monitoring of diseases such as cancer. Because of the interests in the disease-correlated biomarkers, plasma, although is a complex biological sample, spanThe blood/plasma protein biomarker profile represents the pathological and physiological changes relating to human diseases. However, the plasma proteome reflects a high degree of complexity that results in a challenge for most analytical methods in clinical diagnostics. The focus in this thesis is the development and application of several integrated platforms to detect already established protei

Objective. To make an inventory of quality and content of currently available and published sets of health care quality indicators (HCQIs) for RA and OA.Methods. A systematic review was performed for documents on the development and/or a description of HCQIs for the management of patients with RA and/or OA, using the PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane and CINAHL databases up to 1 December 20
