Self-tuning control of the dissolved oxygen concentration has been tested in full scale at the Käppala Sewage Works at Lidingö, Sweden. The controller has been shown to be robust during varying operating conditions. It also gives the potential for the estimation of interesting variables, such as the oxygen uptake rate. A number of water quality variables have been examined. Interesting couplings b

Abstract in Italian Sono qui messi a confronto due modelli per l’analisi dei Vangeli da un punto di vista retorico: l’utilizzo delle categorie retoriche dei Progymnasmata ellenistici e «la retorica biblica e semitica». Si sostiene che l’utilizzo di un modello non escluda l’utilizzo dell’altro, ma che anzi si completino a vicenda. Un’analisi dell’ultima cena in Lc 22,11-38 serve a illustrare l’uso Two approaches to the rhetorical analysis of Gospel texts are being compared in this essay: on the one hand, the use of the rhetorical categories of the Hellenistic Progymnasmata, and on the other, «Biblical and semitic rhetoric». It is argued that these two approaches are not mutually exclusive, but complementary. The last supper in Luke 22,14-38 functions as a test case. An introduction offers s

The article examines the reception of Old Testament motifs in the so called "Hymn of the Pearl" (preserved in Syriac and Greek as part of the apocryphal Acts of Thomas). Ideas taken up for study include the use of "Egypt" as a symbol of spiritual bondage, the legacy of the West Semitic Chaoskampf motif, the link to Ezekiel 32:2, etc. The main thrust of the article is the transformation of ancient

Experimental and numerical investigations of the ignition of hydrogen/air mixtures by jets of hot exhaust gases are reported. An experimental realisation of such an ignition process, where a jet of hot exhaust gas impinges through a narrow nozzle into a quiescent hydrogen/air mixture, possibly initiating ignition and combustion, is studied. High-speed laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) image sequenc

Introduction: Shorter, anatomically shaped and proximally loading stems have been developed to achieve better stress distribution and be more bone preserving. The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the migration pattern of the Proxima™ ultra-short uncemented stem using radiostereometric analysis (RSA), and to review the literature regarding the migration of short stemmed hip arthrop

The price of housing in Sweden has, over the past couple of decades, increased at a much faster rate than salaries. Politicians have tried to steer the housing market towards the provision of affordable housing, but have not succeeded. After 1993, the responsibility for regulating the price of housing transferred to the market, which is more interested in building for high-income earners. Despite

Singing in groups and choirs is one of the main and generally most widespread musical activities: in schools at all levels among children and adolescents as well as in leisure time activities from "non-singer choirs" to more advanced and professional choirs. Previous studies indicate the need to identify vocal collaboration between choral singers. This article investigates how individuals in a cho

Objective The effect of a common polymorphism in the Growth Hormone (GH) receptor (d3-GHR) gene on growth, metabolism and body composition was examined in short children born small for gestational age (SGA) on GH treatment. Design In 96 prepubertal, short SGA children treated with high-dose GH (67 μg/kg/day) in the NESGAS study, insulin sensitivity (IS), insulin secretion and disposition index (DI

This introductory chapter gives an overview of the intricate relation between Heidegger and theology. Firstly, it discusses Heidegger’s indebtedness to theology by revisiting the debate that was initiated by the publication of his early Freiburg lectures in the 1990s. Second, it sketches in broad strokes the reception history of Heidegger’s works within twentieth century theology. In the third and

IMPORTANCE: The value of microRNAs (miRNAs) as biomarkers has been investigated in various clinical contexts. Initial small-scale studies suggested that miRNAs might be useful indicators of outcome after cardiac arrest. OBJECTIVE: To address the prognostic value of circulating miRNAs in a large cohort of comatose patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This

This paper describes the challenges concerning measuring quality within the field of emergency response, and discusses specific examples within fire response. Using quality as a standard of measurement to evaluate response efforts of trained personnel at emergency events can lead to increased effectiveness in the response phase of an emergency event; thereby saving additional lives, property, and
