This study investigated lexical aspects of verb knowledge in Swedish children with specific language impairment (SLI). The type of verbs studied were those of placement, a semantic area with a language-specific#10; differentiation in Swedish. It was hypothesized that owing to their cross-linguistic uncommonness, these verbs cause difficulties for children with SLI, that these problems are more mar
Object. Cerebral vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) leads to reduced cerebral blood flow (CBF) and to cerebral ischemia, in some cases even producing infarction and long-term disability. The goal of the present study was to investigate the hypothesis that inhibition of neurokinin-1 receptors (NK1Rs) by administration of L-822429 blunts the decrease in CBF as well as cerebrovascular
Basic electrochemistry of glassy carbon paste electrodes (GCPEs) modified with Meldola Blue adsorbed on crystalline a-titanium phosphate (MB-a-TP) electrodes and their ability to catalyze the NADH oxidation have been investigated. Various ratios of glassy carbon (Sigradur K) to MB-alpha-TP, were used to obtain GCPEs. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and rotating disc electrode (RDE) measurements, performed
This study compares the children and adult response to a novel postural challenge. One group of children (n = 13, age 7-9) and one adult reference group (n = 12 age 15-32) were subjected to vibration induced body sway and posturography with both open and closed eyes for 5 consecutive days. There was a gradual decrease of induced body sway over time in both groups (p < 0.001) between the subsequent

Stable carbon isotopes play an important role in the interpretation of biological activity, particularly when the fossil record is studied. In combination with morphological and chemical data, isotopic information can be useful in paleontology and astrobiology. In this paper the development of a microanalytical ion beam system for the measurement of the carbon isotope ratio with high spatial resol
Iii analysis-by-synthesis linear predictive coding (AbS-LPC) an LPC synthesis filter is combined with an analysis-by-synthesis search of the excitation signal. The synthesis filter is an estimator for the speech signal given the excitation. However in most AbS-LPC algorithms this estimator has no explicit model of the quantization noise, which is present in the excitation signal. This paper descri
A set of rectangles S is said to be gridpacked if there exists a rectangular grid (not necessarily regular) such that every rectangle lies in the grid and there is at most one rectangle of S in each cell. The area of a grid packing is the area of a minimal bounding box that contains all the rectangles in the grid packing. We present an approximation algorithm that given a set S of rectangles and a
We have investigated the binary system of a triblock copolymer of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and poly(propylene oxide) (PPO), EO5PO68EO5, in water. The ternary system with the same polymer, water and soybean phosphatidylcholine (lecithin) has also been studied. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), 2H NMR and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used to characterize these systems. The phase
Popular Abstract in Swedish Kroppens immunförsvar, vars uppgift är att skydda oss mot infektioner, består av ett antal olika celltyper som till stor del finns i blodet. Immunförsvaret kan indelas i två delar; ett medfött försvar som är likadant hos alla individer och ett försvar som byggs upp under individens livstid. Det senare utformas olika beroende på vilka bakterier och virus som individen utThe cells of the innate immune system are essential for the host's first line defence against infection. Among these cells the neutrophil granulocyte has a central role by the production of antibiotic proteins and peptides. These are targeted for storage in secretory lysosomes and other neutrophil granules for subsequent release by regulated secretion in an inflammatory process. However, the granu
Background & objectives: We have earlier proposed that group A streptococcal (GAS) immunoglobulin binding surface proteins (IgGBPs) might trigger anti-IgG production and immune complex formation leading to glomerulonephritis. In the present study, cardiac tissue material from rabbits injected with heat-killed GAS was investigated. Methods: Rabbits were injected intravenously with 10(9) colony
