Background and Objectives Reagent red blood cells (RBCs) for antibody detection should express certain important antigens as a double dose, that is, the donors must be homozygous for the corresponding alleles. Traditionally, dose is determined by serological typing and known allele frequencies. However, RHD zygosity cannot be predicted serologically owing to the absence of an antithetical antigen,

We discuss LS-forbidden Delta S = 2 transitions of Fe Pi that appear as strong lines in ultraviolet stellar and laboratory spectra. The lines occur because of indirect lever mixing-two close energy levels, w(2)P(3/2) and x(6)P(3/2), are mixed through a third level acting as a catalyst. In transition multiplets, that involve either the w(2)P(3/2) or the x(6)P(3/2) level the normal component is acco

A non-iterative time-domain method for solving the inverse scattering problem for the temporally dispersive, linear, homogeneous, and bi-isotropic slab at normal incidence is presented. The inverse scattering problem is to determine (finite time traces of) the susceptibility kernels of the medium given (finite time traces of) the reflection and transmission kernels, which are obtained by deconvolu

Data avseende bakgrund, sjukdomsbild; både fysisk och psykisk med data hämtades ur ADAD och DOK och genom intervjuer, social- och sjukvårdsjournaler i ett konsekutivt material om 216 klienter som vårdats på Lunden mellan januari 1997 till juni 2000. Totalt 115 flickor/kvinnor (80 LVM- och 52 LVU-flickor) testades med två test BCT och CMPS, psykiska symtom (SCL-90) och personlighetsstörning enligt

The reactions between chalcocite, synthetic copper(I) sulfide, acanthite and synthetic silver(I) sulfide, and aqueous and acetone solutions of potassium ethylxanthate have been studied. Qualitative analysis of the ethylxanthate species present on the surfaces of the sulfide minerals and the synthetic metal sulfides has been made by means of diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) sp

This thesis concerns two interrelated subjects of heat and mass transfer processes. The first one concerns mainly experimental measurements, with a subsequent development of a calculation procedure, of the thermal and hydraulic performances, experimental methods and evaluation procedures applied on various plate heat exchangers (PHEs) as evaporators with the refrigerant ammonia as working medium.

This study examines the determinants behind the restructuring of China's SOEs in the late 1990s. We have reached two major findings. First, we find that the degree of labor retrenchment is negatively related to enterprise performance, suggesting that poor performance is a major force driving labor restructuring. Second, we offer evidence that decisions on labor retrenchment in traditional SOEs are

NADH:quinone oxidoreductase, or Complex I, is a multi-subunit membrane-bound enzyme in the respiratory chain of many pro- and eukaryotes. The enzyme catalyzes the oxidation of NADH and donates electrons to the quinone pool, coupled to proton translocation across the membrane, but the mechanism of energy transduction is not understood. In bacteria the enzyme consists of 14 subunits, seven membrane

Artikeln bygger på föredrag som hållits i Göteborg, Oslo, Malmö och Torpa. Den hävdar att såväl ”Bibelsyn och bibelbruk” som dess opponenter stannat vid bibelsynen utan att egentligen behandla bibelns bruk i kyrkan och hos den enskilde. I Giertz författarskap – med tonvikt på de historiska romanerna Stengrunden, Tron allena, och Riddarna på Rhodos – är däremot Bibelns bruk av central och avgörande

In 2 prospective studies, we previously reported on the early and accurate diagnosis of invasive candidiasis by determining the D-arabinitol/L-arabinitol (DA/LA) ratio in urine in neutropenic children with cancer at the paediatric oncology unit (POU) and in premature infants at the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at our hospital. In this retrospective study at the same units, we report how the

Narrowband MIMO channel measurements at 1947 MHz have been performed in an urban macrocellular outdoor-indoor scenario. The spatial characteristics of the channel have been analyzed, showing an angular spread of 5-10° at the base station and 30-60° at the mobile station. The maximum theoretical capacity that the channel can support has been evaluated for various antenna spacings and number of ante

The purpose of this essay is to provide with a theoretical survey on the conceptions of "Nationalism" and "Internationalism", on a general level as well as applied to the scientific field. This pair of conceptions is useful to help us explain to understand the purpose of scientific cooperation and scientific-political motives behind the scientific society, in this case Europe during the period 187

In this paper an experimental and analytical exploration on the effect of water-binder ratio (w/b), silica fume and age on autogenous, carbonation, drying and total shrinkage of High-Performance Concrete (HPC) is outlined. Eight types of HPC were studied. Carbonation, internal relative humidity (RH) and strength were studied on specimens from the same batch of HPC that was used in the studies of s
