In heterogeneous catalysis the reactions occur on the surface of a catalyst. To understand the reaction pathways, a detailed understanding on an atomic level is critical. However, the gas atmosphere surrounding the surface dictates the interaction between the surface and the gas. At low pressures this is often neglected, but as the community turns to higher pressures it becomes important to consid
BACKGROUND: Primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is associated with a defective regulation of the secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH). Thus in pHPT, higher than normal calcium concentrations are required to inhibit PTH release. However, it is not known if this defective regulation is normalized by removal of the parathyroid adenoma (i.e., whether the regulation of PTH secretion is normal in the r
Patients with primary hyperparathyroidism are often elderly with cardiovascular disease and in some an operation might be hazardous owing to anaesthetic complications. A technique for operation for primary hyperparathyroidism under local anaesthesia is described. The method uses a unilateral approach. Seventeen consecutive patients operated on under local anaesthesia were compared with a group of
Most organisms that ever lived on Earth lacked skeletons and have therefore escaped preservation in the geological record. This fact makes it hard to accurately trace the evolution of multicellular organisms and the tree of life. However a handful faunas did get exceptionally well-preserved, including their soft-bodied members, just when complex lifeforms diverged 550 million years ago. Geochemica
This paper presents four different tangible interactive prototypes designed to support the continuation of balance rehabilitation at home. The interactive prototypes are designed to provide a more enjoyable and experience when performing balance rehabilitation exercises. Early results from preliminary tests with stroke survivors and rehabilitation professionals are promising. The aim of the design
In this paper we outline the initial stages of a human centered design process aimed at the design of novel technology (tangible interactive objects) for stroke survivors. We found it useful to support standard methods, such as interviews and focus groups, with a video prototype in order to make the concept of tangible interaction, which was novel to our users, more clear. In addition we carried o
Syncope is a frequent event in the general population. Approximately 1%-2% of all emergency department admissions are due to syncope and at least one third of all people experience fainting in their life. Although consequences of cardiac syncope are generally feared, non-cardiac syncope is much more common and may be associated with severe injuries and quality of life impairment, particularly in o
Simultaneous detection of multiple signals for common biochemical/electrochemical reactions is a challenging area of research for comparative studies. Based on our previous work with electrochemically assisted thermal biosensors, a hybrid biosensor has been developed for the simultaneous monitoring of the electrochemically generated current and the thermal signal produced in association with enzym
As the interest in weak-affinity antibodies has been widened by their introduction to various analytical techniques such as HPLC, capillary electrophoresis and biosensors, there has been a need for new screening/monitoring methods. In this study, weak-affinity chromatography was adopted to screen/monitor directly for monoclonal antibodies in ascites. Monoclonal antibodies against a carbohydrate an
A rationale for an individuals-oriented landscape approach to sustainable land-use planning based on an analysis of bio-geo-physical components as well as the human components of the landscape is presented. A toolbox for analysing individuals’ decision-making and valuations in the landscape is described. The toolbox can provide evidence on the drivers of individuals’ decision-making in the landsca
Botaniker donerar varje år tusentals pressade växter till Lunds universitets biologiska museum. Ibland handlar det om nyheter i Sveriges vilda flora. Nya för år 2020 är exempelvis prärielök, brittsommaraster och rosenfibbla.The first Swedish records of 19 taxa that first attracted attention in 2020 in the Lund Botanical Museum (LD) are reported and briefly discussed., viz. Allium ampeloprasum var. ampeloprasum, Allium cernuum, Arisaema amurense, Aster amellus, Crepis rubra, Cyclamen coum subsp. coum, Digitaria sanguinalis subsp. pectiniformis, Eleocharis cf. montevidensis, Fraxinus angustifolia, Helichrysum italicum,
The learning curve during repetitive production and the associated forgetting during production breaks are fundamental issues in the understanding of behavior. A model is suggested that combines 3 basic findings, namely, that single memory traces decay according to a power function of the retention interval, that aggregated memory traces can be combined by integration, and that the time to produce
As demonstrated by the recent attack on Intel's Ivy Bridge processor, the traditional Logic Built-In Self-Test (LBIST) methods do not provide adequate protection of SoC against malicious modifications known as hardware Trojans. In this paper, we introduce a simple but efficient countermeasure against hardware Trojans which exploits non-zero aliasing probability of LBIST. We propose to generate LBI
Both studies on animals and humans have demonstrated the role of inflammatory mediators on the retinopathy process.2,3 Dexamethasone is a glucocorticoid with a known reductive effect on several of these mediators and on the expression of VEGF.4Starting in 2016, infants receiving laser ablation for type 1 ROP at Skåne University Hospital were administered dexamethasone eye-drops postoperatively, us
Med hjälp av det omvända klassrummets pedagogik och digitala verktyg kan man frigöra både lärar- och studentresurser och därmed effektivera undervisningen. Akademisk humaniora ställer dock särskilda krav på såväl digitala verktyg som på det omvända klassrummets övningsmoment. Bägge kräver tillämpningar som skiljer sig från andra discipliner. Vad gäller de digitala utmaningarna har vi å ena sidan s
The confidentiality and integrity algorithms in cellular networks protect the transmission of user and signaling data over the air between users and the network, e.g., the base stations. There are three standardised cryptographic suites for confidentiality and integrity protection in 4G, which are based on the AES, SNOW 3G, and ZUC primitives, respectively. These primitives are used for providing
