The Galactic Center is one of the most dense stellar environments in the Galaxy and is considered to be a plausible place to harbor many neutron stars. In this brief review, we summarize observational efforts in search of neutron stars within a few degrees about the Galactic Center. Up to 10% of Galactic neutron stars may reside in this central region and it is possible that more than a thousand n

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the Western world. In Sweden, 1 in 9 women will be diagnosed during their lifetime, amounting to >8,000 new breast cancers per year. Each year around 1,400 patients die from their disease. A comprehensive report entitled "highlighted several areas in need of more research", including how weight, alcohol consumption, smoking, host metabolism an

Dendritic cells (DCs) develop in the bone marrow from haematopoietic progenitor cells. Two subsets, plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) and myeloid DCs (mDCs), have been identified. Little is known regarding DC levels in bone marrow of patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) before and after chemotherapy. We investigated relative pDC and mDC levels in bone marrow from 37 hospital controls and 60 patients

The incorporation of a free fatty acid into the sn-1 position of phosphatidylcholine by lipase-catalyzed transesterification was investigated. The thermodynamic water activity of both the enzyme preparation and the substrate solution was adjusted to the same value prior to the reaction. The reaction rate increased with increasing water activity but the yield of modified phosphatidylcholine decreas

Common marmoset monkeys (Callithrix jacchus) are increasingly used in models of neurodegenerative diseases. Serial measurements of gadolinium excretion were performed using the dual flip angle method to map R1 on three animals in the wrist coil of a 3T whole-body system. R1 values were analyzed in a ROI in the straight sinus and fitted with a single compartment model. Slow injection of 0.3 mmol Ga

Combinations of Lewis acids and nucleophilic reagents trigger endo-opening of the furanoside ring of methyl furanosides 1, 10 and 13, resulting in the attachment of the nucleophilic group at C-1 of the carbohydrate. The stereoselectivity in the C-C bond-forming step is low for the 2-deoxyfuranosides but very high (dr 1:99) for the furanosides carrying a methoxy group in the 2-position when a combi

The Winter Palace (TWP) was a venue and association within the left-wing alternative environment in Malmö between 1987–1989, with premises in the port area. The venue ran a pub and café; arranged concerts, public lectures, and movie screenings; broadcasted radio; published fanzines; and more. The idea was that the proceeds would be used to build a Southern Swedish center for anarchist propaganda a

This paper discusses the importance of learning to understand the three-dimensionality of astronomical objects, in particular nebulae. After collecting data from students' and professors' discernment of 3D we finds that this is difficult for both students and professors, which highlights the importance of addressing extrapolating three-dimensionality in astronomy education.
