The parameters to extract polysaccharide-enriched fractions (PEF) from mushrooms using MAE (microwave-assisted extraction) were adjusted following a full factorial 3 2 experimental design. The highest yield and total carbohydrate values, using Lentinula edodes as model mushroom, were obtained at 180 °C and 30 min. Several mushroom species were submitted to MAE and their PEF yields ranged between

Objective: To investigate the causal role of cardiometabolic risk factors in osteoarthritis (OA) using associated genetic variants. Methods: We studied 27,691 adults from the Malmö Diet and Cancer Study (MDCS) and replicated novel findings among 376,435 adults from the UK Biobank. Trait-specific polygenic risk scores for low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol

Recent advancements in catchment hydrology (such as understanding hydrological processes, accessing new data sources, and refining methods for parameter constraints) make it possible to apply catchment models for ungauged basins over large domains. Here we present a cutting-edge case study applying catchment-modelling techniques at the global scale for the first time. The modelling procedure was c

The largest dune fields in Sweden and Norway are small in international comparison but still form distinct parts of this previously glaciated landscape. The dunes formed c.10.5-9 ka ago, shortly after the last deglaciation, when winds close to the ice sheet were strong and vegetation was largely absent [1-4]. Since then they have been more or less stable and today they are covered by forest. Most

Silicon pixel detectors are at the core of the current and planned upgrade of the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. Given their close proximity to the interaction point, these detectors will be exposed to an unprecedented amount of radiation over their lifetime. The current pixel detector will receive damage from non-ionizing radiation in excess of 1015 1 MeV neq/cm2, while the pixel detector designed

Background: Screening that includes digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) with two-dimensional (2D) synthetic mammography (SM) or standard 2D digital mammography (DM) results in detection of more breast cancers than does screening with DM alone. A decrease in interval breast cancer rates is anticipated but is not reported. Purpose: To compare rates and characteristics of (a) interval breast cancer in

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattningAluminium används för en stor mängd produkter, allt från hus och i fordon till såvardagliga produkter som aluminiumburkar. Det breda användningsområdet beror på aluminiumets höga hållfasthet, lätta vikt och dess goda korrosionsmotståndighet. Korrosionsmotståndet beror på att när aluminium exponeras för luft bildas ett aluminiumoxidskikt på ytan, vilket skyddar aluAbstractIn this thesis, the electrochemical deposition process of Sn into ordered nanoporous anodic aluminium oxide (NP-AAO) have been studied. The deposition process was studied in situ using the X-ray techniques: X-ray diffraction (XRD), Grazing incidence Transmission Small-Angle X-ray Scattering (GTSAXS), X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) and X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure (XANES) and ex situ usin

Abstract Noroviruses are now the leading cause of gastroenteritis worldwide. Noroviruses are effectively transmitted due to a low infectious dose, viral shedding in high concentrations, environmental stability, and they induce only a limited immunity after infection. Especially, the norovirus variants of genotype II.4 (GII.4) have seemed greatly adapted for pandemic spread. The high infectivity of

Flame front structure is one of the most fundamental characteristics and, hence, vital for understanding combustion processes. Measuring flame front structure in turbulent flames usually needs laser-based diagnostic techniques, mostly planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF). The equipment of PLIF, burdened with lasers, is often too sophisticated to be configured in harsh environments. Here, to sh

Winter cover crops could contribute to more sustainable agricultural production and increase resiliency to climate change; however, their adoption remains low in California. This paper seeks to understand barriers to winter cover crop adoption by monetizing their long-term economic and agronomic impacts on farm profitability in two of California's specialty crop systems: processing tomatoes and al

Most stomatopod crustaceans have complex retinas in their compound eyes, with up to 16 spectral types of photoreceptors, but members of the superfamily Squilloidea have much simpler retinas, thought to contain a single photoreceptor spectral class. In the Atlantic stomatopod Squilla empusa, microspectrophotometry shows that all photoreceptors absorb light maximally at 517 nm, indicating that a sin

Objective: To facilitate a greater likelihood of favorable response to new disease-modifying therapies, recruitment of patients at an earlier stage of their disease into clinical trials may be an attractive strategy. Hence, there is a need to develop widely accepted classification criteria for early-stage knee osteoarthritis (OA). We have proposed a set of classification criteria for early-stage k

Abstract Resurs Bank provides various online services to retail stores. Accessing the services require authentication. The retail employee privileges are managed through a web application by administrators at Resurs Bank. The application needs improvement since it is lacking in functionality. Among other issues, the administrator is not given any feedback when making changes which lead to insecuri

Under förbränningsprocesser bildas mycket små partiklar av storleksordningen 1-100 nanometer och kallas därför nanopartiklar. Nanopartiklar utgör beståndsdelarna i det vi känner som sot. En nanometer är en etthundramiljontedels meter. Detta är svårt att föreställa sig. Istället kan man jämföra längden av ett par centimeter med längden av en resa runt ekvatorn. Nanopartiklar är så otroligt små atA simple investigation about the noise of the acquisition cards NI PXI-4495, provided by National Instruments, was performed. Standard deviations were calculated for data acquired from a signal generator, a constant voltage source and when the input channels were grounded, to estimate the noise. The obtained noise is in the order of a few millivolts when acquiring signals from the devices while th

Vätgas har potential i ett energilagringssystem eftersom det är en energibärare som är väldigt energirik och kan lagras i stor skala. Vätgas kan produceras enkelt via elektrolys av vatten och lagras i stora mängd under högt tryck, vid behov kan vätgasen sedan brännas i en kraftverksprocess och generera elektricitet. Då förbränning av vätgas med syrgas enbart bildar vattenånga kan ett förnybart eneHydrogen gas has potential to function as an energy storage solution due to its high energy content and its suitability for large scale storage. Hydrogen can be produced by water electrolysis and can be stored in large scale under high pressure, when needed the hydrogen can be burned in a thermal power plant to generate electricity. Since combustion of hydrogen with pure oxygen only yields steam,

Ett av Sveriges klimat- och energipolitiska mål avser effektivare energianvändning. Ett sätt att uppnå målet är genom kravställning på energihushållning vid renovering av byggnader. I de fall då det med hänsyn till byggnadens kultur- och arkitektoniska värde inte går att tillämpa beprövade metoder får andra alternativa metoder sökas. En sådan annan alternativ metod är en dubbelskalfasad och innebäOne of Sweden's political objective is to increase energy efficiency. One way to achieve the objective is by making demands on the use of energy after a building has been renovated. Regarding the building's cultural and architectural values there are cases where it is not possible to apply proven methods to meet the demands, and other alternative methods must be sought. Such an alternative

In conventional design of pile foundations, all loads are taken by the piles, i.e. the contact pressure between the raft and the soil is neglected. In the last decades geotechnical engineers have started to take this pressure into account in design of pile foundation. Such a foundation, where the raft and the piles interact to transfer the loads to the ground, is in this dissertation called piled

Laglotten regleras i ärvdabalken (1958:637) 7 kap. 1 § och fungerar som ett arvsrättsligt skydd till förmån för bröstarvingar. Skyddet aktualiseras i de fall då en avliden valt att testamentera bort all kvarlåtenskap. Bröstarvingar har i dessa fall en lagstadgad rätt till hälften av den dödes arvslott. Laglottsregleringen infördes år 1857, men har som institut funnits betydligt längre inom svensThe statutory share of inheritance is regulated by the inheritance code (1958:637) 7 chap. 1 § and work as a protection for the forced heir to secure its right for inheritance. The protection is activated in those cases where a deceased person has chosen to not give any of the properties left to a forced heir. In these cases, the statutory share of inheritance gives the forced heir the right to a
