In a laboratory experiment, northern pike Esox lucius gastric evacuation rates did not differ between equal-mass rations of small and large prey. In a comparison between intermediate and large prey, the pike were unable to fit two intermediate prey completely into the stomach at the same time, resulting in two consecutive evacuations, and changes in patterns of gastric evacuation. Thus. total gast
We show that the undular stray light, diffusely scattered by the optical system of a synchrotron beamline, can play an important role in the formation of high-resolution resonant photoelectron (RPE) spectra. The influence of the stray light is mediated through the Stokes doubling effect, with the Lorentzian tail of the spectral function being replaced by a more complicated form. This effect is sho
Nutrient availability is a major constraint to plant production and carbon storage in arctic ecosystems, but there are few studies coupling processes in the decomposer and microbial food web and the implications these processes have on the control of nutrient mineralization. We studied the relationship between microbial biomass and the abundance of microbivore and the role of grazing on nutrient t
Two UV lines of Fe II at 2507/2509 Å are extremely bright inspatially resolved HST/STIS spectra of dense gas condensations (the socalled Weigelt blobs) close to the central star of eta Carinae. Thelines also appear unresolved in HST/FOS spectra of the star AE And.Under normal conditions the lines should hardly be observable. Based onrecent studies of the formation of thelambdalambda2507/2509 lines
In order to determine the clinical significance of decreased fetal movement counts, pregnancy outcome was compared between women with decreased fetal movement counts on their Fetal Movement Charts (FMC) (n = 161) and women with normal fetal movement counts (n = 1,354). 1,515 women in the third trimester of pregnancy counted fetal movements for 15 min in the evening and noted the count on a FMC. An
Cerebral dopamine neurotrophic factor (CDNF) belongs to a newly discovered family of evolutionarily conserved neurotrophic factors.We demonstrate for the first time a therapeutic effect of CDNF in a unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) lesion model of Parkinson’s disease in marmoset monkeys. Furthermore, we tested the impact of high chronic doses of human recombinant CDNF on unlesionedmonkeys and
In this study the effect of the composite membrane structure on the mass transfer limitations in hydrophobic pervaporation of dilute aqueous solutions of homologous series of alcohols and esters was investigated. Three hydrophobic membranes with poly (octyl)methylsiloxane (POMS) as an active layer were used. The membranes studied varied with respect to the thickness of the active layer and the nat
Popular Abstract in Swedish "Mötet mellan personal och patienter samt patienternas tillstånd. Effekter av klinisk grupphandledning till personal samt individuellt anpassad omvårdnad till patienter med demenssjukdomar" Avhandlingens övergripande syfte var att undersöka mötet mellan patienter och personal, patienternas tillstånd och beteende samt effekterna av individuellt planerad omvårdnad och klThe aim of thesis was to investigate the nurse-patient encounter in dementia care (n=9 patients), functional and cognitive ability, behaviours and mood of the patients as well as the reliability of the instruments used (n=75 nursing home patients). A further aim was to investigate the effects on the aspects mentioned above of a one-year controlled intervention (individually planned care and clinic
The purpose of this paper was to compare the effects of different data reduction procedures on the values of variables characterizing the time pattern of trapezius muscle activity during full work shifts. Surface electromyography (EMG) of the right and left upper trapezius muscles were obtained from 40 young subjects in different occupations, mainly electricians, hairdressers and students. The tar
Objectives: To assess immunohistochemical (IHC) stains differentially expressed between different types of lung cancer. Methods: We evaluated 16 different IHC stains in 209 prospectively included, surgically treated primary lung cancers, including 121 adenocarcinomas, 65 squamous cell carcinomas, 15 large-cell carcinomas, 5 adenosquamous carcinomas, 2 sarcomatoid carcinomas, and 1 small-cell carci
Dietary fats could affect glucose metabolism and obesity development and, thereby, may have a crucial role in the cause of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Studies indicated that replacing saturated with unsaturated fats might be favorable, and plant foods might be a better choice than animal foods. Nevertheless, epidemiologic studies suggested that dairy foods are protective.
The antioxidant quercetin was extracted from yellow onion waste and converted to its aglycone form by a combination of subcritical water extraction and enzymatic hydrolysis. The hydrolytic step was catalysed by a double residue (N221S, P342L) mutant of the thermostable beta-glucosidase (TnBgl1A), isolated from the thermophile Thermotoga neapolitana and cloned and produced in E. coli. The activity
Popular Abstract in Swedish Vatten- och läskflaskor av polyetylentereftalat, PET, kan både återanvändas (återfyllbara flaskor) och/eller återvinnas. Vid återvinning kan materialet användas för tillverkning av nya flaskor, sk closed-loop recycling. I både återfyllbara flaskor och flaskor som innehåller återvunnet material kan det förekomma ämnen som tidigare trängt in i plasten. Dessa kan antingen The reuse and closed-loop recycling of food packaging was studied in order to assess consumer safety and the sensory quality (e.g. taste and smell) of packaged food. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) beverage bottles that were refillable or that contained recycled material, either in direct contact or with a functional barrier protecting the food, were investigated with focus on odorous compounds f
Abstract in Uncoded languages Polazna točka ovog članka je rat koji je održan u sjeverozapadnoj Bosni i Hercegovini te posebno interpersonalna interpretacija nasilja i biografski utjecaj ratnog nasilja. Srpski vojnici i policajci ciljano su vršili nasilje nad civilnoim stanovništvom u sjeverozapadnoj Bosni. U svojoj namjeri da se Bošnjaci i Hrvati istjeraju s tog područja, srpski vojnici i policajThe starting point of this article is the war that took place in northwestern Bosnia and Herzegovina and more specifi cally interpersonal interpretations of violence and the biographical impact of war-time violence.

Popular Abstract in Swedish I mitt doktorandprojekt har jag studerat den fästingspridda bakterien Borrelia och dess värddjur skogssork. Det övergripande syftet har varit att kartlägga den genetiska variationen i den delen av immunförsvaret som tar hand om bakterieinfektioner, som till exempel borrelia. I alla ryggradsdjur finns ett specifikt immunförsvar som kan identifiera små proteinbitar från eThe major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class IIB genes exhibit extensive allelic polymorphism, most likely maintained by pathogen-mediated balancing selection (PMBS). PMBS may operate in the form of heterozygote advantage (HA), and/or through the interaction of pathogens and specific MHC alleles via fluctuating selection (FS) or negative frequency-dependent selection (NFDS). In particular, NFD
