We investigate the population of high-redshift (3≤z < 6) active galactic nuclei (AGN) selected in the two deepest X-ray surveys, the 7 Ms Chandra Deep Field-South and 2 Ms Chandra Deep Field-North. Their outstanding sensitivity and spectral characterization of faint sources allow us to focus on the sub-L* regime (logLX ≲ 44), poorly sampled by previous works using shallower data, and the obscured
This paper focuses on the issue plasticity within the framework of a micromechanical model for single-crystal shape-memory alloys. As a first step towards a complete micromechanical formulation of such models, we work with classical J(2)-von Mises-type plasticity for simplicity. The modeling of martensitic phase transitions is based on the concept of energy relaxation (quasiconvexification) in con
A cochlear implant (CI) is a device that provides individuals with severe to profound hearing impairment (SPHI) with auditory stimulation, which makes it possible for them to develop skills related to spoken communication. We have little knowledge about how hearing with a CI influences cognitive and communicative development and there is a need for development of methods for assessment. The genera
The aim of this project is to elucidate the fundamental mechanisms of sausage making in order to further investigate whether all these emulsifying, gelling, and textural properties can be retained when part of the compounds are substituted with vegetables and carbohydrates. To achieve this, the sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar proteins were extracted from pork shank and were further examined regardin
The Baltic Sea is one of many aquatic ecosystems that show long-term declines in dissolved silicate (DSi) concentrations due to anthropogenic alteration of the biogeochemical Si cycle. Reductions in DSi in aquatic ecosystems have been coupled to hydrological regulation reducing inputs, but also with eutrophication, although the relative significance of both processes remains unknown for the observ
Background: In today’s consumption society, there is an endless amount of cosmetic brands to choose from. Moreover, the global consumption of cosmetics continues to increase, both among male and female consumers, and new cosmetic brands are constantly entering the marketplace. Despite this, little is known about the relationships between consumers and cosmetic brands (consumer-brand relationships)
AIM: To develop a logistic regression model that can discriminate between benign and malignant adnexal masses perceived to be difficult to classify by subjective evaluation of gray scale and Doppler ultrasound findings (subjective assessment) and to compare its diagnostic performance with that of subjective assessment, serum CA 125 and the risk of malignancy index (RMI). METHODS: We used the 3511
Popular Abstract in Swedish Vårt immunförsvar har utvecklats genom evolutionen för att kunna motstå infektioner från diverse mikrober (parasiter, bakterier, virus). Kroppen svarar då med en inflammationsrespons för att kunna bekämpa infektionen. Immunsvaret kan delas upp i det icke specifika immunsvaret, bestående av bl.a. fagocyterande celler samt det specifika immunsvaret, bestående av sk T och The CD4+ T cells have an important role in inflammation. Based on the local cytokine milieu, these cells can differentiate into either a Th1 population promoting cellular immunity or Th2 population involved in humoral immunity. Th2 cells produce the anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-4 and IL-10, which might have a protective role in autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and multiple scle
This paper presents the results of an explorative study on the strategies and tactics applied by the mechanical designer during the later phases of the design process. The method chosen for this study is experiment-based, which is appropriate for an in-depth examination of the designer's activities. Six experiments have been run based on three dimensions: 1) the carrying out of basic design tasks
Popular Abstract in Swedish Amerikanska krigare i Vietnam: Krigarvärderingar och myten om krigserfarenheten under Vietnamkriget, 1965-1973.In the Western world there has been a general consensus that in the aftermath of Auschwitz and Hiroshima, romanticized masculine images of war and soldiering have reached a turning point. This book challenges the view that the post- 1945 era has to a great extent been without romantizations of warriorhood. In the thesis I show that the American combat soldiers in Vietnam were not beyond the influe
Previous research on post-war society emphasized structural violence with subsequent reconciliation processes. Researchers have focused on the importance of narratives, but they have neither highlighted narratives about reconciliation nor analyzed conditions for reconciliation in post-war interviews. This article tries to fill this gap by analyzing the stories told by survivors of the Bosnian war
The article investigates conceptions of freemasonry and civil society in the eighteenth century periodical Journal für Freymaurer (1784-1786).
