The semenogelin II gene from the rhesus monkey has been cloned and characterized. The transcription unit is split into three exons of 97, 2086 and 124 bp, with two intervening introns of 241 bp and 862 bp. The first exon codes for a 23-amino-acid signal peptide and the two amino-terminal residues of the secreted protein. The second exon codes for the rest of the mature protein, and the third exon

Current literature show that frequency diverse arrays (FDAs) are able of producing range–angle-dependent and time-variant transmit beampatterns, but the resulting time and range dependencies and their characteristics are still not well understood. This paper examines the FDA transmission model with an emphasis on analyzing the beam auto-scanning characteristics and the equivalence with the MIMO be

In this paper, we considered the real-time modeling of an underwater channel impulse response (CIR), exploiting the inherent structure and sparsity of such channels. Building on the recent development in the modeling of acoustic channels using a Kronecker structure, we approximated the CIR using a structured and sparse model, allowing for a computationally efficient sparse block-updating algorithm

Acoustic impulse responses (IRs) are widely used to model sound propagation between two points in space. Being a point-to-point description, IRs are generally estimated based on input-output pairs for source and sensor positions of interest. Alternatively, the IR at an arbitrary location in space may be constructed based on interpolation techniques, thus alleviating the need of densely sampling th

Acoustic testing is crucial in the aero-engine design process, providing valuable information about the sound field in terms of acoustic modes. The conventional use of a uniform sampling array limits the achievable resolution for a given number of sensors, necessitating the use of a large number of sensors to achieve high-resolution estimates. This limitation may be overcome using a non-uniform se

The present study highlights two important parameters of flute playing and musicalexpression: Sound and Articulation

Extending the retirement age has become an inevitable trend given the deepening of population ageing and the need to reduce the financial burden of pensions. Many countries have already introduced policies to delay retirement. China began to implement the delayed retirement policy in 2025. As the policy was introduced relatively recently, retirement ages vary by characteristics such as gender and

Boreal forests mitigate climate change by sequestering atmospheric carbon. Recent declines in the boreal carbon sink and tree growth suggest that this mitigating influence is weakening, yet the underlying drivers remain unresolved. Increasing drought frequency is one likely driver. Yet most studies have focused on managed forests, overlooking the significant but shrinking areas of old-growth fores

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate a 3-month post-hip arthroscopy rehabilitation program within a randomized controlled trial comparing hip arthroscopy to sham surgery for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (HIP ARThroscopy International [HIPARTI] trial) by describing exercise adherence, type, and pain; 6-month changes in International Hip Outcome Tool-33 (iHOT-33); and physical impairments and functiona

Freshwater demand is expected to rise while supplies decline, putting pressure on water systems. Water conservation and determining potential alternative sources is imperative. The thesis aims to determine the effectiveness of greywater recycling as an alternative source in Sweden. Sörsjön was used as a case study and the roles of property owners and water utilities explored. The theory of planned

During the Swedish NATO negotiations, the Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan once again raised the question of whether Türkiye could be welcomed into the EU. This thesis examines Türkiye’s shortcomings concerning their EU accession, focusing on the human rights of Kurdish people by answering the research questions: what is the state of human rights of the Kurd-ish people in Türkiye, and what c

Virtual 3D reconstructions of live sport events are on the horizon and to produce a high quality experience for viewers it is important that the movements of the 3D models look natural. Today, state of the art pose estimators produce data that con-tains noise, resulting in jittery animations with pose errors. The goals for this thesis were to evaluate the performance of a Long Short-Term Memory (L

We investigated the effects of a single course of antenatal betamethasone on neonatal somatic and brain development. On day 20 of gestation, pregnant rats were injected with either with 170 mu g kg(-1) body weight of betamethasone ("clinically-equivalent dose," equivalent to 12 mg twice, 24 hours apart) or half this dose or vehicle. Pups (8-11 animals per experimental group per time-point per gend
