In recent decades, a transformation of traditional industries has taken place in large parts of the Western world, involving a number of interesting combination processes. One manifestation of Industrial Cool may be referred to as 'recycled factories', whereby different types of cultural institutions have established themselves in industrial premises and touched up the aesthetics of a former indus

The paper concerns the furniture industry’s increased interest in opportunities and challenges to respond to demographic shifts and to meet future senior markets. A central issue discussed is how a user-centred approach in a collaborative design research project benefited the industrial partners. The paper focuses on the perspectives of the participating furniture manufacturers. The most involved

In this article I argue that weak pronouns in the Scandinvian languages should be analysed as functional heads expressing pure phi-features, and that these heads occur either without complements or copying phi-features expressed in the rest of the extended projection. The description is modelled on a construction in Old and Modern Icelandic, where a pronoun may identify the phi-features of a delet

The Great East Japan earthquake and tsunami hit coastal cities in Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima Prefectures of Tohoku Region devastating the energy supply system in the region. Electricity and fuel shortages caused severe problems in the city of Kamaishi varying from lack of mobility, communication, heating to reduced health conditions. This paper, aims to analyze the impacts of the earthquake and t

The properties of water in biological systems have been studied for well over a century by a wide range of physical techniques, but progress has been slow and erratic. Protein hydration-the perturbation of water structure and dynamics by the protein surface-has been a particularly rich source of controversy and confusion. Our aim here is to critically examine central concepts in the description of

The pulsed field gradient stimulated echo NMR technique is applied to the study of water diffusion in biological porous materials (a sheet of wood cellulose fibers and a packed bed of potato starch granules) consisting of randomly oriented domains with an anisotropic supermolecular organization. Expressions are presented for the probability distribution of apparent diffusion coefficients due to tw

The high number of /-expressing T cells found in the epithelial lining layer suggests that they form a first line of defence against invading pathogens. To evaluate the role of / T cell-receptor (TCR)-expressing cells in cutaneous infection caused by Staphylococcus aureus, mice lacking /-expressing T cells (TCR/) were inoculated intradermally with S. aureus, and compared with S. aureus-infected co

Protein D is an immunoglobulin D-binding membrane protein exposed on the surface of the gram-negative bacterium Haemophilus influenzae. Results reported here indicate that protein D is a lipoprotein. The protein is apparently synthesized as a precursor with an 18-residue-long signal sequence modified by the covalent attachment of both ester-linked and amide-linked palmitate to the cysteine residue
