The microbiota colonizes each barrier site and broadly controls host physiology1. However, when uncontrolled, microbial colonists can also promote inflammation and induce systemic infection2. The unique strategies used at each barrier tissue to control the coexistence of the host with its microbiota remain largely elusive. Here we uncover that, in the skin, host-microbiota symbiosis depends on the
An introduction to the Swedish translation of St. Augustine's De doctrina christiana.
This paper describes a system to create animated 3D scenes of car accidents from reports written in Swedish. The system has been developed using news reports of varying size and complexity. The text-to-scene conversion process consists of two stages. An information extraction module creates a tabular description of the accident and a visual simulator generates and animates the scene. We first des
This paper addresses Test Application Time (TAT)reduction for core-based 3D Stacked ICs (SICs). Applyingtraditional test scheduling methods used for non-stacked chiptesting where the same test schedule is applied both at wafer testand at final test to SICs, leads to unnecessarily high TAT. This isbecause the final test of 3D-SICs includes the testing of all thestacked chips. A key challenge in 3D-
Dry stacked light weight concrete block masonry is increasingly used due to its superior productivity compared to standard block masonry. Low bending capacity parallel to the bed joints is however a major drawback. This paper presents the results of an experimental study which has been carried out to improve the bending capacity of dry stacked lightweight concrete block masonry. The effects of fol
The principal noise source for a jet engine is associated with the jet exhaust. The acoustical field that is generated by a jet engine before the take-off is considered. The turbulent jet and the mixing of the hot exhaust gas with the cold surrounding air forms an acoustical source. The compressible Navier-Stokes equations describe both flow field as well as sound generation. The acoustic theory u
The sound transmission in double walls at low frequencies is studied using a detailed geometric model, based on FEM. The model simulates the experiments carried out to determine the sound reduction index of the wall. The wall properties effect on the sound transmission loss is investigated and also how the sound reduction is affected by the dimensions of the connecting rooms.
Many studies focusing on design activities use the interview technique as part of their investigation. Nevertheless, methodological discussions about the interview setting as the locus of a social interaction between the interviewer and the respondent and its implications for the interpretation of the data obtained are rarely found in publications within our design community. Part I of this public
Place-names often reflect local, cultural, and political history. It is only natural, therefore, that words for such historically important phenomena as boundaries should form part of place-names. In England, there is a fair number of place-name elements that refer to boundaries. Some of them are treated in this thesis. They are OE (ge)mǣre, OE mearc, OE *rān, *rǣn(e), ON rein, ON rá, and OE hār.
The previous round-robin (RR) study on clothing evaporative resistance (Ret) has shown that the repeatability and reproducibility of clothing Ret measurements on sweating manikins were rather low. To further examine and enhance the measurement accuracy, a new strict but feasible test protocol was proposed and thoroughly examined in a new round-robin test. Eight laboratories participated in this st
Feedback in server systems has during last years gained much interest in order to fulfill still increasing demands on performance and optimization regarding, for example, quality of service (QoS) requirements. In this paper we investigate a feedback–based prediction scheme for controlling a single server queue. This control structure has the benefit over other previously suggested control structur
In a previous paper, we showed how classical ideas for dynamicprogramming in discrete networks can be adapted to hybrid systems. The approach is based on discretization of the continuous Bellman inequality which gives a lower bound on the optimal cost. The lower bound is maximized by linear programming to get an approximation of the optimal solution.In this paper, we apply ideas from infinite-dime
We examined the effect of 17alpha-ethinylestradiol on immunity of the Western fence lizard, Sceloporus occidentalis. Injection of 17alpha-ethinylestradiol resulted in dose-dependent suppression of peripheral blood leukocyte levels as determined by cell counts, whereas total spleen cell levels were decreased only at higher doses of 17alpha-ethinylestradiol. In contrast, spleen cell proliferation wa
Recent progress on the nature of short-duration gamma-ray bursts has shown that a fraction of them originate in the local Universe. These systems may well be the result of giant flares from soft gamma-repeaters (highly magnetized neutron stars commonly known as magnetars). However, if these neutron stars are formed via the core collapse of massive stars then it would be expected that the bursts sh
Five protected analogues of beta-D-galctosyl-(5R)-5-hydroxy-L-lysine were prepared, in which the galactosyl moiety was modified by monodeoxygenation or inversion of stereochemistry at C-4. The building blocks were used in the solid-phase synthesis of a set of glycopeptides related to the peptide fragment CII256-273 from type II collagen. Evaluation of the glycopeptides revealed that T-cell hybrido
An assay has been established for quantitative evaluation of lentivirus coreceptor use with the help of GHOST(3) cells. GHOST(3) cells were derived from the human osteosarcoma cell line, HOS, and have been engineered to stably express CD4 and one or another of the chemokine receptors CCR3, CCR5, CXCR4, CXCR6/STRL33/Bonzo, or the orphan receptor GPR15/BOB. The indicator cell line carries the HIV-2
Popular Abstract in Swedish Kroppen som socialt fenomen har inte varite ett dcentralt tema inom sociologin. Detta försöker Lars-Erik Alkvist komma till rätta med, på grundval av en omläsning av Max Webers sociologi utifrån temat kroppens sociologi. Författaren menar att det hos Weber finns en dold med dock närvarande förståelse av kroppens sociala sammanhang. Men Webers förståelse av kroppen sitteThis thesis is about the social body in sociology, represented by the classical sociologist Max Weber. Traditional sociology has not taken the body into account. The body has been considered to belong to the realm of the natural sciences. Sociology has seen the body merely as an instrument or a tool for social action. The mind/body dichotomy, homo duplex, prevails in sociology. The purpose of this
